We recommend 8 hours of coverage for most traditional weddings, and this typically covers final getting-ready details all the way through reception open dancing.

6 hours of coverage is perfect for your ceremony through reception.

10 hours is recommended for extended getting-ready and off-site time.

Still uncertain? Check out our Wedding Coverage Guide for inspiration, and we can always adjust when we design the official timeline!

A 50% non-refundable retainer is due upon booking, and the remaining balance is due 14 days before our shoot date.

All of our prices are available online with a goal to be as transparent as possible; our package rates include up to 90 miles of travel and all taxes and fees (even sales tax). What you see is what you get.

In Door County, permits are required to shoot in State Parks, the Ridges Sanctuary, and several commercial properties.

Weather happens, and that’s ok! We aren’t new to rain, and between moving indoors or using our clear umbrellas, we promise your wedding will be beautiful no matter the weather.

Absolutely! Our policy carries 2M in general liability!

Oh gosh, yes The most important part of being a wedding professional is making sure you can sleep soundly at night. We have backups for everything.

We’ve never missed a wedding since opening in 2016. The closest was when Cody got a bad case of COVID in 2021, but Kayleigh was able to cover his weddings; that’s one of the many benefits of having a team!

If there’s ever a reason we can’t cover a wedding, we’d find a suitable replacement photographer/videographer. We have a lot of friends in the industry, host a Door County professiopal photographers group to maintain connections, and have covered weddings for others in the past who’d return the favor. We won’t leave you hanging.

To us, there’s a big difference between dual and second shooters.

For most wedding photographers and videgoraphers, a second shooter isn’t a trained, coordinated member of their team. Instead, they’re often a lesser experienced shooter trying to break into the industry. While there can be repeat second shooter collaborations that work well, there is neither a required ability level nor is it gauranteed they’ve even met before.

In contrast, you know your team with Tandem’s dual shooters; it’s Cody and Kayleigh. Having in-house dual shooters allows us to have an identical style, process, and work off each other seemlessly. All in all, dual shooters are like having two primary shooters. We know each other, we trust each other, and we’re able to elevate our product because of it.

Our traditional solo weddings are best for couples who want excellent photography or videography at a solid price, and it shouldn’t be seen as a downgrade. In fact, Tandem was built upon solo weddings, so we know how to get the best results from every moment; you’ll always find us in the right spot.

Adding a dual shooter is best for couples who prioritize variety and outside-the-box looks. We’ll always have one of us in the primary angle like a solo wedding, but the other is free to either grab a second/third perspective or take risks for something truly special. For example, one of us might be in the safe, center row position during your ceremony, and the other could use our drone for a breathtaking aerial view.

It’s good to choose the best package upfront, but we can always adjust if your needs change! Need more/less time? No problem!

The only difficulty would be transitioning between standard and premium packages (dual shooters). Premium packages are locked upon booking because they require additional team members to reserve the date, but we can switch to a premium package if the team is available!

We like to think so, but check out our 100+ five star reviews and decide for yourself.
