Before you book

A few good
questions.

The useful details, without the long pitch.

Good care, behind the scenes.

  1. A professional three-camera setup.

  2. Dedicated audio recorders for the day.

  3. Backup equipment for the key pieces we rely on.

Coverage & locations

Where do you film?

We’re based in Parksville, BC, and offer wedding videography across Vancouver Island, including Nanaimo, Comox, Victoria and Tofino. Tell us your date, ceremony and reception locations, and any travel between them so we can plan coverage around your day.

What does wedding videography cost?

Your quote depends on coverage hours and the films you choose. As a current example, eight hours of film-only coverage with one main highlight is CA$4,200 before GST. A second main highlight, a social film or an engagement session changes the total. Share your plans and we’ll send an itemized quote for your wedding.

Your films & your people

Which film should we choose?

The Signature Highlight is a considered, music-led film, with the option of voices and vows woven in. The Documentary Highlight follows the day chronologically with full ceremony and speech audio; its length varies with the events captured. The Social Media Highlight is a 20–40 second sneak peek, available as an addition. We’ll help you choose the format and coverage that fit your day.

Can we book photo & film together?

Yes. We offer photography, film, and both together. We’re Ali & Nate, the people behind Fern & Fire, and we work through the timing and priorities with you. Let us know which moments you want photographed, filmed, or both, and we’ll build your coverage around that.

We’re camera-shy. Is that a problem?

Not at all. We’ll give you gentle direction and something to do, then leave room for the real laughs, nerves and little moments. You don’t need to perform for the camera or spend the whole day making a film.

Making it happen

How do we book?

Start with your wedding date and location, whether you want film only or photography and film together, and the parts of the day you’d like covered. We’ll check availability, talk through your options and confirm the coverage and booking details with you.
