FAQS

Yes! This is one of my favorite parts of what I do! For any destinations within 150 miles of Effingham, Illinois I require the price of lodging to be paid for (1-2 nights depending on location & timeline of your day) + a flat $50 travel fee to compensate for gas. 

Please reach out for pricing on travel if beyond 200 miles or if it’s a destination wedding! I absolutely love traveling and would love to go anywhere you want. 


Do you travel?

Yes of course! I realize a wedding is an investment and budgets are very important! Wedding videos can be paid for all at once or payments can be spread over a period of time. This optional payment plan is as follows and consists of three installments: a $500 non-refundable deposit due at the signing of your contract, half of the remaining balance due at one month out (non-refundable within one month from wedding date), and then the remaining amount due upon delivery of the final product. 



Do you offer payment plans? 

Payment can be made via my online payment system or you can send a check via mail. 



How do I pay? 

Typically around 10-12 weeks. This of course varies if I’m in a busier vs slow season. I always strive to get it done sooner rather than later though! I also like to deliver it around that time so the video can allow you to relive the day after you have already processed it fully. 



What is your turnaround time? 

Makayla + Cole

Riley is truly an outstanding videographer (and wonderful person) with an almost mystical ability to capture the true nature of people especially at our wedding. We felt at ease the entire day because we knew Riley would get all the real and raw emotions of our perfect day. Video is something we both love and treasure and we highly recommend Riley to everyone. You can tell he truly loves what he does and there is no doubt Riley will put 110% effort into your special day!


"Films By Riley was truly one of the best things we had on our wedding day."

Paige + James

I think I watched it a dozen times that first day. Now, months later, we still watch it often and reminisce. I am so thankful to Films By Riley for creating such a perfect and thoughtful video so that we’re able to relive one of the happiest days of our lives anytime we want.

"Words can’t express how excited we were when we received our final video."

madeline + benton

Riley was amazing right from the start. He was organized, personable, and easy to get along with which made our wedding day even easier. The video perfectly captured the emotion, laughter, and fun of the entire day. He captured the smallest details which made our video that much more special. Riley is so talented and passionate about what he does and it shows in his work. This is a video we will show our family and friends for years to come. We cannot thank him enough!

"Riley was everything we were looking for in a wedding videographer."

Marley + dru

He was not only our videographer but also helped with other random wedding things! I would recommend him to anyone. He was so professional and down to earth.

"Riley was so helpful throughout my entire wedding day."

Eliza + Isaac

Some of the things that I think set Films By Riley apart from the rest is Riley's talent at storytelling, editing style/techniques, seamless incorporation of music, access to the raw footage, attention to detail and just being so easy to work with and an all around wonderful human. We received our wedding video a few months ago and I have not gone more than 4 or 5 days without watching it! I love it so much! 

"Riley edited our wedding video footage into a wonderful video that I know we will cherish forever!"
