Kalispell Montana Wedding Videographer

Packages start at $3,400, and most Kalispell couples land between $3,400 and $4,600 for full cinematic coverage. Coverage hours drive the price, while extras like raw footage or rehearsal dinner filming stay optional add-ons instead of built-in costs. I keep my calendar intentionally small so every couple gets my full creative attention, and I'm glad to talk through which package fits your day.

Summer Saturdays in the Flathead Valley go fast. For a June through September Kalispell date, book 4 to 8 months out; weekday and shoulder-season dates hold open longer. My calendar stays small by design, so popular dates are gone for good once claimed. Reach out the moment your venue is confirmed.

Overwhelmingly, yes. Wedding industry surveys keep finding that skipping the videographer is one of the most common wedding regrets, with some citing over 75% of couples wishing they had their day on film. Photos are irreplaceable, but they can't hold the sound of your vows, the laughter in the speeches, or how the room felt when you walked in. A film is something to revisit every anniversary and share with the people who couldn't come. Couples who skip video usually do it for budget reasons, which I completely understand. If it's within reach though, few wedding investments grow in value the way this one does.

Absolutely, elopements are some of my favorite projects. Flathead Lake shorelines, Swan Valley meadows, or a quiet Kalispell venue with your closest people: a small ceremony gets the same cinematic care as a 150-person wedding. Elopement coverage usually runs 2 to 5 hours, shaped around your timeline and locations. If small, intentional, and beautifully filmed is the dream, that's exactly what my elopement packages are for.

Yes, every package includes drone coverage, and the Flathead Valley is one of the most stunning places in the country to fly. Sweeping valley views, mountain backdrops, lakeside ceremony overheads: aerial footage brings a scale no ground-level camera can match. As a licensed commercial drone operator, I plan each flight around venue permissions, airspace, and weather so every shot happens safely and legally.

Venues in and around Kalispell itself usually carry no travel fee. It becomes case-by-case for celebrations that continue into Glacier National Park for portraits, venues an hour or more outside the valley, and two-day events, which do involve travel charges. Send your venue and timeline and I'll quote your exact total up front, no surprises after you sign.

Teasers go out within a week of the wedding. Most Kalispell films finish in about two to three weeks, and that's the pace I aim for. The contract allows up to two to three months to cover the back half of the season, when Flathead Valley weddings come one after another and editing stretches. Raw footage follows once editing wraps, and I send updates while I work so you're never guessing.

Yes, and I encourage it. A package that fits a 6-hour backyard ceremony shouldn't match a full-day celebration at a Flathead Valley venue. Mine are built around your actual day: coverage hours, deliverables, and optional add-ons like raw footage or a rehearsal dinner film. Working with a set budget? Tell me. I'd rather find something that works than see you go without video. Reach out and we'll shape it around your date and vision.

Yes! Glacier sessions are one of my favorite parts of filming in the Flathead Valley. Lake McDonald portraits after the ceremony and next-day sessions inside the park are popular additions, and I know the permit requirements and which locations film best at each hour. Glacier add-ons touch the timeline and sometimes travel, so mention it in your inquiry and I'll plan your coverage around it.

Absolutely! Kalispell is home base, but I film weddings and elopements across the whole Flathead Valley and beyond. Also looking at venues in nearby Whitefish or Bigfork? I serve both and would love to talk through options. Reach out and we'll find what fits your date and location!
