Question 1

Does Dime LA Media do video and film?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For events, it's a Highlight Film at 60 to 90 seconds, cut to licensed music and delivered with a vertical social cut, with limited availability. Film attaches to the service it belongs to rather than standing alone as its own booking in every case. For events it can be booked standalone at $650, or added to Corporate or Private event photo coverage for $450. It can also be added to a Brand Session for $1,450 in all. For weddings, film is a different product: a longer recap film, an add-on only, available exclusively inside the Hybrid collection at $3,300 for 8 hours or $4,000 for 10 hours, and never sold as video-only. Lloyd has not yet released a wedding film, though he is booked for hybrid weddings now. On a Social Media Content and Management plan, short-form video is included monthly starting with the $1,000 Standard plan. Film is a newer service at Dime LA Media, so the rates are introductory.

Question 2

What is included in a wedding photography package from Dime LA Media?

Accepted Answer

Every wedding collection from Dime LA Media includes a complimentary engagement session, a pre-session consultation, and fully edited high-resolution images delivered via private online gallery. Second shooters are included in the Story, Legacy, and Hybrid collections. Collections start at $2,200 for Essentials (up to 8 hrs). The Hybrid collection adds a 3 to 4 minute recap film of the day to two-shooter coverage: $3,300 for 8 hours with 350 edited images, or $4,000 for 10 hours with 450 edited images. Hybrid is sold only as one complete photo and video package; Dime LA Media does not offer video-only or standalone wedding videography. The film is a short highlight of the day, clipped together from pieces of it and cut to music, with audio from the day where quality allows. It is not a full video production, not a cinematic wedding film, and not a recording of the whole day. Lloyd has not yet released a wedding film, though he is booked for hybrid weddings now; wedding film is the newest part of his work, priced at introductory rates, with a limited number of hybrid dates taken each season. Custom quotes are available for days that don't fit a standard package.

Question 8

Does Dime LA Media retouch photos?

Accepted Answer

No. Dime LA Media does not retouch, for any service, and it is not offered as an add-on or quoted at any price. Every image is edited in Lloyd's own style for color, tone, exposure, contrast, and cropping, and that edit is the work a client is booking. Retouching means using software to change the shape of a person or change what is in the frame: slimming or reshaping, adding or removing people or objects, swapping heads, compositing frames together, or replacing a background. Lloyd also does not edit to match another photographer's look, filter, or preset. Clients hire him for his style, not to produce a style he does not shoot.
