  • Hi! Cory here. Normally, if I, personally, have the date open and available, I am happy to take on your event myself. In the instance that I happen to be booked or have a prior plans on your date, you should ABSOLUTELY still go with Afterglow Creative.

    Here's a word on my team:

    A wedding is a very personal experience, and I’m truly grateful that couples I have worked with in the past say great things about me personally—but while I run Afterglow, I am by no means the only person behind the success or amazing work that we have done. If you take a look at my website, it’s filled with images and video that not only I captured, but my team members have as well, mixed in. You can’t tell the difference! The point is that I put every member of my team through an extensive training process—including workshops, and a TON of one-on-one time with me—-so that the practices of any team members coming through my company are standardized, no matter who is behind the camera. Our team members have to work with me for years before they are even allowed to take on a wedding on their own. If you were looking to working with me personally, you will—I handle everything from beginning to end, calls, meetings, consultation, editing. My team is an extension of me and do a fantastic job, as you can see from all the amazing work on the website. Afterwards, I’ll be the one editing and compiling your photo galleries and films together. While I understand your hesitation, my team has been behind me for years and I can’t say enough about how wonderful they are.

  • Yes! We offer “lifestyle” candid newborn sessions, family, maternity, and senior sessions.

    Unfortunately, we do not offer boudoir sessions, but we have some great referrals!

  • We offer limited, one-camera, stationary live-streaming for ceremony and reception only at $250 per day.

    We do not have projection screens or a projector, so our offering for a live feed is just to provide the camera. A third party vendor would have to worry about the projection of the feed and troubleshooting during an event.

  • Unfortunately we do not.

  • Yes, we do! Our current pricing for footage is on our SERVICES page!

  • To officially book, we require a signed contract and a 30% retainer. The remaining balance will babe due 30 days before the event. If you are booking and are already inside of 30 days. 100% payment is due up front.

  • Bold, colorful, vivid, full of life. I want the images to pop off the page and leave an impression. Lots of candids, lots of emotion, capturing the sheer joy of the day.

  • Any extra costs outside of the hourly rate are covered by the client. We can help you get the permits taken care of, but the client covers any fees involved.

  • Currently our core team is 6 people. Occasionally we have other photographers or cinematographers shoot with us under Afterglow. We have several associate shooters that are not part of the core team that sometimes assist with shoots.

  • We currently do not charge mileage with shoots that go as far south as North Carolina and as far north as Maryland. We ask mileage outside of these states of .65 cents per mile.

    All accommodations, tolls, plane tickets, back check fees, car rental fees, or any other fees associated with transportation to or from your event will be passed to the client.

  • The short answer is yes, we will always bring it with the intention of flying it, but due to poor weather, location (no fly zones or restricted airspace) we may not be able to fly it.

    We DO NOT fly the drone indoors. This is non-negotiable.

  • We keep a running religiously updated schedule at afterglowrva.com/schedule.

    Generally, a single day event takes us 3 months, multi-day events take up to 5 months.

    Films take about 3 months.

    The entire editing process takes between 6-8 months from beginning to end.

  • We ask that all revision requests are made within 7 days of receiving your content. If we are able to fulfill those requests we will happily do so.

  • You can, but if the music is copyrighted it will not be allowed on social media and is usually taken down very quickly after being flagged.
