Each package comes with full day coverage.
In our contract together, it will say up to 8 hours.
We believe a wedding video should tell your whole story. We like to see the day unfold how it naturally started and concluded so we can create a full story-effect film for your memories.
If you'd like us to capture past 8 hours, it is an additional $500/hour.
Our booking process is a first come first serve policy.
First, you must schedule an appointment with us to meet over a zoom call. This is an important step so we can start to get to know your personalities, your wedding details, and learn more about what it is you need and dream about for your wedding film. During this call, we'd also pick which package fits your day best, whether it be wedding coverage or full weekend coverage.
After our call, you make your final decision with whether or not you'd like to hire us. All we need is a confirmation email that says, "We're ready!"
From here, we will make you a contract and invoice. Once all parties sign the contract and the $1000 booking retainer is paid, you are officially on our calendar!
After the booking retainer is paid, our default method is to break up your total in 4 equal payments. These payments are spread out from when you book us up to our deadline which is 2 weeks from your wedding date.
These 25% payments are simply for convenience. Our invoice system allows an automatic payment set up so you can set it and forget it if you wish. You do not have to pay these if you are unable and would like to pay another way.
Other methods include paying electronically through the invoice in one lump sum whenever you choose (up until the due date).
Cash or check made out to Alesia Films is also accepted. Our mailing address is listed in our contract together.
Raw footage is not given or sold.
Full Ceremony films are included in every package.
As you can see from our portfolio, what we make are aesthetic Highlight Films. Documentary Edits are optional or sometimes included in certain packages. DOC edits require us to edit all of the clips from that event in one synced timeline and color graded for your aesthetic viewing.
These are priced a la carte here:
Toasts/Speeches | $500
First Look/Private Vows | $400
All First Dances | $300
Our turnaround time is 3-6 months so we can create you a unique, one of a kind film!
Although, we do make you extra videos in the meantime while you wait for your official film.
You can expect a Teaser Film within 1-2 weeks of the wedding and a short highlight film of all of the super 8mm footage within 2-3 months (film is based around the lab's turnaround).
Unfortunately, due to music and copyright laws, we must purchase the license for all of the music we use in your film. This goes for all wedding videographers.
Although, unlike other wedding videographers, we allow our couples to choose their own music from our subscribed music licensing site.
In our final questionnaire form before the wedding, you can select 3-5 songs of the music you think would go well with your film and we'd hand select the best ones that match your footage from there.
You do not have to pick your own music, you can also allow us to choose for you. Please note that it is in our contract that requests to change music are not allowed.
We do offer bundle deals ONLY IF you haven't hired a photographer yet. You can consider our bundle package to book our entire media team for a seamless client experience.
Hiring one team for both Video and Photo ensures seamless teamwork and a cohesive look with both your gallery and final films.
This bundle is optional and includes 2 photographers who has trained to be on our team to provide this service. They capture your day with our style and then we take over all of the editing from there.
All communication and editing will be via Alesia no matter what to ensure an easy client experience.
I'm a wedding filmmaker based out of Portland, Oregon and I grew up in the Pacific North West, always surrounded by beautiful landscapes and inspiring art.
My style is a unique approach to journalistic and documentary style candid imagery. Through the blend of vintage film and modern digital cameras, I've created a style that I genuinely have a deep passion for when it comes to capturing a wedding day.
We all want to remember our grandma's laugh at dinner, our best friend's crying at her speech, and the look on your partner's face as you walk down the aisle. Your film will be all of those key moments curated in one masterpiece to cherish forever.

Our editing style is true to color with a hint of film tones. Please explore these full galleries to see how different they are from one another. We've attached these galleries not because it is our best work, but because they had the most variety of backdrops, colors and lighting throughout the day.
As you can see, the colors you choose to surround yourself with at your venue, in your florals and in your clothes contribute significantly to your photos.
We do not heavily photoshop, use AI, or make any cosmetic change requests.
