The Experience
Work With Seth
SJ Media Experience
I bring a bubbly, genuine energy into every experience, while also knowing when to slow things down and let moments unfold naturally. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, relaxed, and fully yourself in front of the camera.
Working with me means having someone who is fully present and invested in your story and the people you love most. I adapt to the moment, offering gentle direction when needed and stepping back when it matters most so everything feels natural and true to you.
FAQs
WEDDING FAQ
01. HOW DO WE BOOK YOU FOR THE WEDDING?
I’ll send over a simple online contract to officially reserve your date. A non-refundable retainer secures your wedding on my calendar, with flexible payment options available for the remaining balance.
After booking, we’ll plan your engagement session together, choosing a location and vibe that feels like you. This session is a great way for us to connect and helps you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera before your wedding day.
02. WE’RE AWKWARD IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. WILL YOU HELP US?
Absolutely, this is something I hear all the time. I’ll gently guide you with natural prompts and movement so nothing ever feels stiff or overly posed. My goal is for you to feel relaxed and present with each other, so real moments can happen naturally.
03. WHAT MAKES WORKING WITH YOU DIFFERENT?
I care deeply about connection and telling your story in a way that feels honest and true to you. I take time with every gallery, carefully hand-editing each image with intention and care.
Beyond the photos, I focus heavily on the experience itself, keeping things calm, comfortable, and easy so the day feels natural from start to finish. My couples often say it feels like having a friend there with them, not just a photographer, which allows the real emotions and in-between moments to come through.
04. DO YOU OFFER ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS?
Yes! All wedding collections include a complimentary engagement session, and standalone sessions are also available.
These sessions are relaxed and intentional, giving us time to connect and helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding day.
I also offer portrait sessions,s including seniors, graduates, and families, along with branding, events, and both photo + video coverage for creative and business needs.
VIDEOGRAPHY FAQ
01. DO YOU OFFER WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHY?
Yes! I offer wedding videography as a standalone service or paired with photography. My approach focuses on capturing the real emotion of your day—movement, sound, and moments as they naturally unfold so you can relive it in a genuine and meaningful way.
02. WHAT IS YOUR VIDEOGRAPHY STYLE?
My style is candid, emotional, and storytelling-driven. I focus on natural moments over overly staged scenes, blending cinematic movement with real audio and genuine interactions. The goal is for your film to feel true to your day, not overly posed or overproduced.
03. DO YOU WORK WITH A SECOND SHOOTER?
Depending on the collection, I may work with a second shooter to ensure we capture multiple angles and moments throughout the day. This helps us document everything more fully without missing the in-between moments that matter most.
04. HOW DO WE RECEIVE OUR VIDEOS?
Your final film will be delivered through a private online gallery where you can easily view, download, and share your video. Turnaround time varies depending on the season, but I always prioritize delivering a thoughtfully edited final product you can revisit for years to come.
05. CAN WE COMBINE PHOTO + VIDEO?
Yes! I offer photo + video bundles for couples who want a seamless experience with one creative team. This keeps the day flowing smoothly while ensuring both photo and video are captured in a cohesive, intentional way.
