Do it Yourself
Capturing your wedding day on video is a treasure, and I believe everyone deserves to relive those moments, whether I professionally edit them or not. Renting a camera for your DIY wedding video offers an incredible opportunity to have a personalized and intimate record of your special day without the cost of a full videography package. You'll have complete creative control, allowing you to focus on the moments most important to you, from candid guest interactions to heartfelt vows. After your wedding, you have flexible options for your footage: you can keep the SD card, have the footage transferred to a thumb drive, or if you decide you'd like a professional touch, I offer editing services.
Witness the magic of the Insta360! This wedding highlight reel was captured by simply placing the camera at the front of the ceremony and letting its 360-degree power record everything. You'll see not just the couple, but the joy and reactions of guests all in one seamless view. Crisp audio was ensured with the connected DJI Mic. This memorable video was expertly edited down from the full 360 footage, a project taking about 4 hours. See how easy it is to document your most important moments!

HOW IT WORKS
Renting a camera from me is a straightforward and stress-free process designed to get you filming quickly and efficiently. First, you'll reserve a camera for a 3-day rental period. Each rental includes not just the camera, but also a new SD card for you to keep, a tripod or stand, and a small, protective carry case for easy transport. I make it easy by delivering the camera kit directly to you anywhere in the Flathead Valley, including Kalispell, Whitefish, and Columbia Falls. When I drop it off, I'll also provide a quick, personalized tutorial to ensure you're comfortable using the camera – don't worry, the cameras I rent are ones I trust and have used professionally, chosen specifically for their user-friendliness! The rental fee of $95 is charged at booking and is non-refundable for cancellations made less than 30 days before your rental delivery date. Upon delivery, a refundable deposit of $200 is required, which you'll get back in full once the camera and accessories are returned safely and in good condition. When your 3 days are up, we'll arrange a convenient meeting point for me to collect the camera. At that time, you'll already have your footage on the SD card you kept, and you'll have the option to have the footage transferred to a thumb drive (if you didn't just keep the card), or if you'd like a polished final product, I can edit the video for you at my hourly rate. It's all about making sure you capture those moments without any hassle, with the right tools in hand!
