Brand films and photography across Lancaster County

I work out of Strasburg, and most of what I shoot is inside about forty minutes of here, which covers most of Lancaster County and reaches into Chester, Berks, York, and Lebanon. I go further than that pretty regularly, there is just a travel cost attached once we get past a certain distance, and I would rather tell you that now than surprise you on an invoice later.

01Travel and how it gets priced

A shoot forty minutes out is the same shoot as one down the road, it just means an earlier start and a little more planning around what the light is doing when we get there.

Past that, I will usually push to book a full day rather than a half, because it is better use of your money to get a full library out of the drive than to pay for me to sit in a truck twice.

Travel gets quoted as part of the project rather than buried inside it, so you will see what the drive costs before you agree to anything.

I have worked outside the county plenty of times and I will do it again. And if the drive does not make sense for what you actually need, I will tell you that instead of taking the job.

Why local still mattersEven in a business that could work remotely
01

I have driven these roads for years, so I know what the light does at four in the afternoon behind a shop in Leola, and I know which install sites turn to mud after a rain.

02

Being close means I can come back. A follow-up shot, a second angle, a reshoot when the product changes, none of that turns into a whole new travel conversation.

03

And most of my clients around here already know each other. Word travels fast in this county, which is a pretty good reason to do the work right the first time.

Tell me where you are and what you are building.
