START HERE
Your plans. A clear starting point.
How booking works and who you will work with.
How do we check availability and reserve a date?
Send your date, location and priorities. We check the team’s availability and talk through a proposal. Your date is reserved after the agreement is signed and the agreed retainer is paid. Start an inquiry.
Where is Fox Brush Films based?
We are based in Wausa, Nebraska, serving Omaha, Lincoln, Norfolk and the surrounding region, with travel considered around each project. Get to know our team.
Can we book photography and video together?
Yes. Our in-house team plans both together, and eligible bundles can save up to 10%. The proposal confirms your coverage and savings. Compare photography and wedding films.
Who will be on our wedding day?
Trevor and Hannah lead our in-house team. We determine the best fit during consultation and planning, rather than automatically assigning both owners to every wedding. Meet the crew and learn how we match the team.
How many hours of wedding coverage do we need?
Build the window around the moments and locations you want covered, including setup and travel between them. A short ceremony can still sit within a long wedding-day schedule. Explore photography coverage planning or film coverage planning.
Are payment plans available?
Interest-free plans can spread payments over up to 12 months, depending on your booking date and agreement. Ask us about a proposal and payment schedule.
Can we keep our wedding photos and films private?
Yes. You can ask for your photographs and films not to be posted publicly. Tell one of our team members that privacy matters to you, and we can put that arrangement in writing. Please raise it before the wedding so everyone working on your coverage and editing knows what you have agreed.
What happens if we need to move our wedding date?
Contact us as soon as possible so we can check the new date. What is possible depends on team availability, how close the original date is and your signed agreement. A rescheduling fee may apply because we reserved the date, assigned a team and may already have completed work behind the scenes. Some of your existing payment may be applied toward an available new date, depending on the agreement and circumstances. We will confirm the options with you before making changes.
THE PHOTOGRAPHS
Wedding photography. Know what to expect.
Style, coverage and the finished gallery.
What does wedding photography cost?
Our wedding photography collections start at $2,490. Hours, crew and deliverables affect the final price. Read the pricing answer and compare collections.
What is your photography style, and will you help us pose?
Documentary-led coverage with clear direction when portraits or groups need it. You do not have to know what to do in front of a camera. Read about our approach.
Do we need a second photographer?
It depends on the timeline, guest and family-group size, separate getting-ready locations and overlapping moments. We talk through those details on a call rather than decide from guest count alone. See when another photographer helps.
When will we receive our wedding photographs?
Current full-gallery estimates are 6 to 8 weeks for Your Moment and Your Memory, 4 to 6 weeks for Your Chapter, and 1 to 2 weeks for Your Forever. Your Chapter includes sneak peeks in 48 to 72 hours and Your Forever in 24 to 48 hours. Sneak peeks for the first two collections are discussed as a custom option. Your agreement confirms the timing. See the current delivery ranges.
What is included in every wedding photography collection?
Every collection includes a professional photographer trained in-house by Fox Brush Films. We do not use an affiliate-photographer model. Our cameras record to two SD cards for redundancy, and we help you think through the photography schedule and coverage priorities. That is guidance for your photo coverage, not a full wedding-planning service. Hours, team size and finished photographs vary by collection, and custom coverage is available.
How do you help camera-shy couples feel comfortable?
It starts with getting to know each other before the wedding. Our calls give you time to ask questions and help us learn your personalities and what feels natural to you. On the day, we offer clear suggestions when they help, but we are documentary-minded. We want to capture your day as it happens, not turn it into a stage play.
How many edited wedding photographs will we receive?
It depends on your collection and what happens during your day. Current approximate ranges are 150 to 250 for Your Moment, 200 to 400 for Your Memory, 600 to 900 for Your Chapter, and around 1,200 for Your Forever. A longer or custom day may produce more. These are estimates, not a guaranteed count. Compare the photography collections for the coverage behind each range.
What photo editing is included, and can we request extra retouching?
Our normal editing includes selecting the strongest images, checking for blinks and duplicates, adjusting color and lighting, and refining crops and composition. We aim to keep the people and the day looking authentic rather than routinely making major changes to appearances. If you have a specific retouching request, tell us. We can discuss what is possible and whether it needs extra editing time or an additional charge.
THE VOICES, TOO
Wedding films. Hear the difference.
Audio, finished edits and what coverage includes.
What does wedding videography cost?
Your Day starts at $2,998. Focused coverage and other collections have different scopes. Read the pricing answer and compare the films included.
For a guest-filmed option, explore our wedding camcorder rentals and review the rental delivery and return policies.
How do you capture our vows and speeches?
We plan microphones and camera positions around the venue, schedule and booked crew. Read our audio answer and listen to real examples.
Can we receive full ceremony, speech and dance videos?
Separate edits are available or included in selected collections, provided the necessary footage was captured. Explore the full-event film options.
Can we purchase raw footage or extra edits later?
Some paid options can be added later if the needed footage was captured and remains available. Raw footage is not a finished film. Read about extra edits and raw footage.
BUSINESS PROJECTS

Goals, costs and the production process.
What types of business videos do you make?

Planning, locations, filming time, crew and finished versions shape the quote. See what affects a business-video budget.
What should we provide for a quote and timeline?
Send the audience, message, intended uses, locations, deadline and budget range. See the production brief checklist.
WHO YOU ARE
Brand stories. Make it personal.
Your people, purpose and proof.
What is a brand film, compared with an advertisement?
A brand film emphasizes who you are and why your work matters; an advertisement usually centers on a specific action or offer. See examples of business films.
Who should appear in our brand video?
The people best placed to tell the story, whether that is the owner, staff or willing customers. Plan how your team prepares.
Can a brand film help customers trust our business?
Real people and work give viewers something tangible to evaluate. Results depend on the message and how the film is used. See real client projects.
PROPERTY MEDIA
Show the space. Plan the listing.
Property photos and video.
Do you offer real estate photos, video and aerial coverage?
We offer property photography and video, with aerial coverage considered when safe and permitted. Read the real estate FAQs.
How should we prepare, and when will the listing media be ready?
Have the property ready and accessible, and tell us your listing deadline before booking. See the preparation checklist and delivery guidance.
PEOPLE FIRST
Portraits. A little direction helps.
Family photos, mini sessions, seniors and professional headshots.
Do you offer family mini sessions, and what do they cost?
Family mini sessions start at $198 on coordinated session days within about a 45-minute drive of Wausa. We normally plan that starting offer around at least six booked families, with a separate appointment for each. Sessions usually last 15–30 minutes and include 15 client-selected, full-resolution digital photographs for a family of up to six. Travel is factored into the advertised date’s price; applicable sales tax is additional.
No mini-session dates are open right now. Before booking, we confirm your appointment length, location, any separate venue fees and final total. See family photographs and ask about future mini sessions.
Is a mini session right for our family, or should we book a custom family session?
A mini session is a shorter option for a few fresh family portraits. For grandparents, several households or more combinations, tell us who is joining you so we can plan enough time. Custom family sessions are quoted around your plans. Explore family photography in Northeast Nebraska.
Where can we see senior photos and starting prices?
Senior portrait sessions start at $298 for one hour and 20 finished images, before applicable sales tax and travel. Outfit changes and travel between locations count toward that hour. Tell us about your interests, preferred locations and yearbook deadline. Your proposal confirms delivery timing and the final session plan. See senior photography and plan your session.
What is the starting price for individual and company headshots?
Individual headshots start at $375, including setup. Team sessions start at $125 per person plus $250 setup, with a two-person minimum. These starting options include five finished images per person. Travel and applicable sales tax are additional; your proposal confirms the scope and total. Compare individual and team headshot details.
Can you photograph professional headshots for our team?
Yes. We can plan a consistent look for staff profiles and business marketing. Read the individual and team headshot details.
What should we wear, and do we need posing experience?
Wear comfortable, well-fitting clothes appropriate to how you want to be seen. We provide direction. See session preparation advice.
WATCH FROM ELSEWHERE
Live coverage. Plan the connection.
Viewers, venue and audio.
Can you livestream our wedding or business event?
We offer several types of live event coverage, scoped around the venue, audience, cameras and audio. Read the livestream FAQs.
What internet access does a livestream need?
We need to assess reliable upload access and the available setup before confirming a plan. Read the venue connection answer.
OLDER MEMORIES
Old tapes. A new way to watch.
Preserving existing footage.
Can you digitize our family VHS tapes?
Yes. Tell us the quantity, running time and condition so we can discuss transfer and delivery. Read the digitizing FAQs.

Nebraska Wedding Videography & Photography FAQs | Omaha, Lincoln, Nebraska, Iowa & South Dakota
Wedding planning comes with a lot of questions, especially when it comes to photography, videography, livestreaming, editing, and what coverage actually matters.
Here are some of the most common questions we get at Fox Brush Films, answered the same way we’d answer them if we were just talking through your day with you.
Wedding Videography FAQ
-
Yes — if you want to remember how your day actually felt, not just how it looked.
Photos capture how your day looked.
Video captures how it felt.The voices, the vows, the laughs, the way people sounded, and the moments you didn’t even notice at the time… that’s the stuff that changes over the years.
The people that will come and go.
The voices you’ll wish you could hear forever.
You’ll never have that exact same group under one roof again.Most couples don’t fully realize how much that matters until after the wedding.
If you’re looking for a wedding videographer in Nebraska, Omaha, or Lincoln who captures real moments, not just staged visuals, then yes — it’s absolutely worth it.
If you just want a slow-motion highlight with music, maybe not.
But if you want something that feels like a real documentary of your wedding day, capturing people and emotion, then it’s a completely different level of value.
