WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WORK WITH ME
let's get into the details!
The Story Behind
The Evergreen Hour
When choosing a name for my business, I knew I didn’t want it to be tied to my own name. I wanted a name that reflected my belief in love as something enduring and ever-growing, not just a momentary peak on your wedding day. The term “evergreen” means “having foliage that remains green and functional through more than one growing season,” which parallels how I see love. To me, it symbolizes love's perpetual growth and resilience. I added “Hour” to signify the special moment of the ceremony.

Booking Your Date
When you’re ready to book, I’ll send over a contract and invoice. All I need is a 20% retainer and a signed contract to officially book your date! After that I'll send over a wedding day questionnaire for you to fill out at your leisure!
Planning
Once the booking process is done, I'm with you throughout the entire planning process! Whatever you need, I’m here to help. We’ll stay in touch in the months leading up to making sure I have all the details!
Wedding Day
The day is here! It's time for you to fully enjoy and have fun with all your loved ones after all these months of planning! I'll be there to capture all the moments as they unfold for you to relive again and again!
Post-Wedding Day
After your wedding day has concluded it's time for me to start editing! I know you'll be eager to see your film so you'll get a sneak peek within a week of your wedding date. I'll also send you some song options to choose from for your highlight film. Once the song is chosen, I'll start editing your wedding gallery! Expect your film gallery in 3 months or less!
Delivery
It's done! Once your gallery is ready, I'll notify you immediately and send it through VidFlow. You’ll be able to access, download, and share all your films with your loved ones!
THREE OF MY CORE VALUES
Authenticity
Trust
Communication
I believe in capturing your wedding day as it truly unfolds! I pay close attention to the people you surround yourself with, the music you choose to define your day, and the way you speak about your partner. These are the small details that make your day so special and unique! What you'll get is a film that reflects the real, heartfelt moments of your celebration, exactly as they happened.
Your trust and comfort are my top priorities! I want you to feel completely at ease with me and know that I’m fully committed to supporting you! Please feel free to bring up any concerns or questions you have—I’m here for you every step of the way. I understand that this is one of the most significant days of your life, and I take that responsibility seriously.
Clear and concise communication is so important to me, from when you first reach out to the delivery of your film. I promise to answer all your questions quickly, whether they’re big or small, and to thoroughly understand the details of your day. My goal is to help your wedding run as smoothly as possible.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long before I get my wedding film?
The process of creating a film can take me anywhere from 40-60 hours. Depending on the time of year, turnaround can be up to 3 months, but I will deliver your video gallery as soon I finish!

Music for your film must be licensed due to copyright laws. I spend hours making a playlist based off your music taste and the overall feel of your day from Musicbed. I then send it to you and you can choose your favorite!

I am based out of SE Iowa and serve Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, the Quad Cities, and Minnesota!
