Fair Frame

Why Fair Frame exists

Couples in our part of the country pay around $2,100 for a wedding video and $2,700 for photos, and then wait months for them. Most of that price is not the person at the wedding. It is a studio lease, the hours a solo shooter spends selling, and months of part-time editing.

We have both shot and edited weddings for years. We also know what a good local shooter actually wants: paid work near home, a clear brief, and no sales calls or late-night editing. And we know how fast a dedicated editing team can turn a film when that is all it does.

So we built the thing in between. Fair Frame vets local photographers and videographers, pays them fairly and quickly, hands the footage to a full-time editing team the same night, and runs everything else through software we wrote ourselves. Couples get a real shooter they chose, a film and gallery promised within 72 hours, usually 48, and a price that is on the page.

We are honest about what that means. Our editing team is remote and works full time for us. Our shooters are freelancers who also shoot for other people. We do not have a studio you can visit, and we think that is the point.
