Question 1

How much is it to book with Ancient Eye Media?

Accepted Answer

Philadelphia wedding videography costs typically ranges from $2,000 to $6,000+ in 2026. Prices depend on coverage hours (8 to 12+), team size (one to two videographers) and editing style. Venue complexity and peak-season demand in Philadelphia (spring and fall weddings) can also affect pricing.

Question 2

What's special about your style?

Accepted Answer

It's all about real storytelling that actually feels like you. Getting to know your inside jokes, the random way you met, the little things that make your relationship yours. With certain package options we conduct interviews (super casual, no pressure) so we can weave those personal details and genuine moments into the film. That way the final edit isn't just highlights. It's your actual love story with heart and context.

The editing vibe is vintage yet modern. Occasionally we will pull in old movie clips or archival-style visuals when it fits the mood. Layering them to amp up the emotion and make the heartbeat of the film feel alive. Music selection is huge too. Sound is so important and it takes time to find the music to match the energy of your day instead of generic wedding playlists. We do ask for your input on musical taste as well.

Our wedding films are personal, a little experimental, timeless, and they actually make you feel something when you watch them years later. If you're looking for a Philadelphia wedding videographer who treats your story like the main character, that's the Ancient Eye Media difference.

Question 4

Will we have access to the RAW Footage?

Accepted Answer

Yes, RAW footage is available as an optional add on.

RAW footage includes the unedited video clips captured throughout your wedding day. It is not included in standard collections because the focus is always on delivering a fully polished, cinematic final film. That means intentional storytelling, professional 4K filming, thoughtful editing, carefully selected music, and color grading that brings everything together in a timeless, elevated way.
For couples who want every moment exactly as it was captured, RAW footage can be added for $500. This includes all unedited clips organized into clearly labeled folders and delivered to you on a hard drive after your final films are complete. No edits, no color grading, just the original footage in full.

This option is great if you want the peace of mind of having everything, plan to archive your day, or might want to revisit or repurpose moments down the line. Many Philly couples love having that flexibility.

If this is something you’re interested in, just mention it when you inquire and it can be added to your custom quote. Availability is limited, so reach out early to lock in your date and make sure everything fits your vision.

Question 5

What is the payment process?

Accepted Answer

To secure your date, we require a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the total package price at the time of booking. This deposit confirms your wedding date and reserves your spot in our limited calendar. The remaining balance (the other 50%) is due two weeks before your wedding day. Your booking is not finalized until we receive the initial deposit.

We accept payments via Venmo, personal check, or cash for convenience.

Question 6

When will I receive my video?

Accepted Answer

For most couples, your final cinematic wedding film will be delivered between 4 to 12 weeks after your wedding date.

Here’s the realistic breakdown:
 • If your wedding is outside peak season (May through October) and you chose one of our standard packages (highlight film), delivery is usually 4 to 8 weeks.
 • During busy season or if you selected a higher-tier package with extended feature films, documentary-style edits, or heavy custom storytelling, it typically lands in the 8 to 12 week range.

We never rush the editing process because every film is hand-crafted. We limit the number of weddings we take each year specifically so your film gets the time and attention it deserves, never mass-produced.

Once your film is ready, you’ll receive an email with a link to your completed video as well as directions for the next steps such as receiving RAW Footage, etc.
