We want a video, but not a film set during our wedding. How do you film the event?
At JMG Films, we understand that while you want a video of your special day, you don’t want a film that overtakes the wedding itself. Our philosophy is simple – this is your day, and we prioritize your precious moments to enjoy without compromising a cinematic product.
Do you work with photographers?
We do not have a professional photographer we work with. However we do have recommendations upon request. And yes, we love to work with photographers.

Do you provide raw footage?
JMG Films does not offer raw footage. Our expert team films in SLOG3, which requires extensive color grading. Additionally, we source audio from multiple devices, ensuring perfect synchronization. However, we do provide an optional FOMO edit, allowing you to capture all the highlights of your event.
What is a FOMO Edit (Fear of Missing Out)?
Capture your wedding day’s magic and excitement with our exclusive FOMO video edit. Fear of Missing Out is real, and we understand the desire to relive every precious moment. Our skilled editors splice together the audio while lightly color-editing the video, ensuring optimal sound quality and a visually stunning experience. From the heartfelt ceremony to the heart-pounding dances and heartwarming speeches, our FOMO edit allows you to cherish every special moment. With a range of 30 minutes to 1.5 hours, this add-on is the perfect way to create a timeless keepsake that you’ll treasure forever. Trust JMG Films, your Northern California Wedding Videographer, to capture your day in all its glory.
What are the differences between the 3 packages?
JMG Films offers three packages to choose from – RAW, HYBRID, and MOVIE.
The RAW package provides an uncut and professional capture of your day, featuring footage from 1-3 cameras and separate audio source captures. It does not include music overlay, heavy color grading, or sound design.
The HYBRID is similar to the RAW, but provides royalty-free music, drone coverage, setting shots, sfx, and heavier editing, to create a moderate cinematic tone.
On the other hand, the MOVIE package is a cinematic representation of your day. Professionally edited, color-graded, and sound-designed, it showcases the key moments that truly shine through. At JMG Films, we ensure that your day is represented in a unique and authentic way, without compromising what makes it special – YOU.
Are you a certified drone pilot?
Why should you choose a videographer with a Part 107 drone license? Safety, expertise, and legal compliance. At JMG Films, we prioritize the safety of our team and customers by ensuring that our drone pilots hold a Part 107 drone license, as required by the FAA. With this license, our skilled drone operators have undergone rigorous training and testing, demonstrating their knowledge of aviation regulations, airspace restrictions, and safe flying practices. By choosing a videographer with a Part 107 drone license, you can have peace of mind knowing that your aerial footage will be captured safely, legally, and with the highest level of expertise. Trust JMG Films for stunning aerial shots that elevate your wedding video to new heights.
What if I don’t want a drone?
The drone is a low profile, and quiet. And unless requested we prefer not to fly during the ceremony.
Aerial videos provide a great new perspective to our videos, and your special day. But having said that, this is your day it is your choice if you want the drone.
Can you fly the drone at my Venue?
There are a few locations where we are not allowed to fly. Please reach out to us for details.
Can you fly the drone inside?
We do not fly our drone inside of buildings.
What if we are doing a first look? Can you film it?
This is a critical moment and part of our MOVIE package if time allows. We believe these shots greatly enhance the end video.
Do you take photos during the wedding?
JMG Films focuses on videos only.
What information do you need before the wedding date?
We will provide you with all the necessary information to ensure that your wedding day runs smoothly and is filled with fun. For a seamless experience, we recommend sharing the same details with your DJ, photographer, and JMG Films. This includes your schedule, music preferences, and location. By keeping everyone in the loop, we can help make your special day truly unforgettable.
