How much does it cost?

The Classic Package is $845 and includes the camcorder rental, shipping both ways, and a fully edited wedding video. Add-ons: Digital Disposable ($195) and Honeymoon ($345).

How does the camcorder rental process work?

You book online, the camcorder ships to you before the wedding, your guests film the day, and you ship the camcorder back afterward using a provided return label.

How long does it take to get the video?

Raw footage is delivered within about a week of the wedding. The final edited video, 3 to 5 minutes long, is delivered digitally within about a month of the wedding.

Is this a replacement for a wedding videographer or an add-on?

Either. It works as a standalone, budget-friendly alternative to a professional videographer, or as an add-on alongside one for extra full-day, guest's-eye-view footage a single hired camera won't capture.

What happens if the camcorder is lost or damaged?

The guest using the camcorder is responsible for it. If it's lost or damaged, that guest is required to pay for the loss or damage.

How far in advance should we book?

At least two months before your wedding date.

What do we actually receive at the end?

A 3 to 5 minute edited wedding video plus the raw footage, both delivered digitally. Raw footage arrives within a week of the wedding; the edited video follows within about a month.

Do you only serve certain cities?

No. The camcorder ships anywhere in the United States by mail, so there's no need to be near a specific city or a physical storefront.

Equipment Rental Agreement

This Equipment Rental Agreement ("Agreement") is made effective upon order submission between Your Parents Wedding Video, subsidiary of Golden Hour Visuals, LLC ("Lessor"), and the customer ("Lessee"). By submitting an order, Lessee acknowledges and agrees to be bound by these terms and conditions.

Lessor may at its sole discretion modify these terms and conditions at any time, and any modifications shall become effective immediately as posted. By purchasing services, Lessee indicates acceptance of the terms and conditions. Any amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement must be in writing and signed by both Parties.

Purpose of Agreement

Lessee wishes to hire Lessor to provide services as detailed in this Equipment Lease Agreement. Lessor has agreed to provide such services according to the terms of this Equipment Lease Agreement. Any physical pieces of product Lessor is providing for Lessee will be referred to as "Equipment."

1. EQUIPMENT AND LEASE

1.1 Lease

Lessor agrees to rent to Lessee Equipment as specified in the order confirmation. Lessor reserves the right to refuse or decline leasing Equipment to potential lessee at Lessor’s sole discretion.

1.2 Equipment Condition

Lessee acknowledges that the Equipment may be used gear and may be cosmetically flawed. However, Lessor agrees that the Equipment should be in proper working condition when leased to Lessee. If Lessee discovers that the Equipment, upon receipt, is not working properly, Lessee agrees to notify Lessor.

1.3 Non-Working Equipment

Lessee agrees to inspect the Equipment immediately upon receipt and notify Lessor of any pre-existing damage within 48 hours of receipt. Failure to report damage within this time frame constitutes acceptance of the Equipment as received. Upon return, Lessor will inspect the Equipment and notify Lessee of any damage within 7 business days.

1.4 Assumption of Risk

Lessee acknowledges that the Equipment consists in part of vintage or used recording devices, which can be unpredictable. Lessor does not guarantee uninterrupted operation, recording quality, or preservation of footage.

1.5 Order Acceptance Policy.

Your receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation does not signify Lessor’s acceptance of Lessee’s order, nor does it constitute confirmation of Lessor’s offer to rent. Lessee reserves the right at any time after receipt of Lessee’s order to accept or decline Lessee’s order.

2. RENTAL PERIOD AND SHIPPING

2.1 Rental Period

The rental period begins on the Camcorder Arrival Date and ends on the Equipment Return Date specified in the order confirmation. The Equipment Return Date is one week (7 days) after the Camcorder Arrival Date.

2.2 Delivery of Equipment

Lessor will ensure the equipment is delivered to Lessee by or on the chosen Camcorder Arrival Date, unless otherwise agreed upon with Lessee, or if there is a delay in shipment outside of the Lessor's control.

2.3 Shipping

Lessor cannot guarantee the arrival date of the order as that is outside the control of Lessor. Any shipping or transit time estimates provided by Lessor are estimates only. Lessee agrees to obtain and retain the shipping receipt for all return shipping until Lessor notifies Lessee of Lessor’s receipt of returned Equipment.

2.4 Return

Lessee must return the Equipment using the provided pre-paid UPS shipping label by the Equipment Return Date (typically 7 days after the Equipment Arrival Date). Returns on holidays or Sundays may be made the next business day. The Equipment must be return-shipped to The Lessor by the Equipment Return Date via the parcel carrier used by Lessor, unless prior arrangements were made between Lessee and Lessor. Should Lessee return the Equipment using a shipping label not provided by Lessor, and the Equipment is not returned-shipped by or before the expected Camcorder Return Date, Lessor reserves the right to charge the Lessee additional fees for the extra time the Equipment was in transit or late. Lessee hereby gives Lessor permission to contact Lessee via email, telephone, or text message regarding information on or status of the rental.

2.5 Late Returns

Late returns incur a fee of $40/day beginning the day after the Return Date. Equipment not shipped within 5 calendar days may be deemed unreturned and charged at replacement value, unless both parties have agreed upon a later return date. Replacement costs are dictated by fair market value. The full replacement cost of a standard package is a minimum of $500. No wedding film or footage will be delivered to Lessee until all fees have been paid.

3.3 Damage and Loss

Lessee assumes and shall bear the entire risk of damage to the Equipment from any cause, except damage in the possession of the Shipper, during the term of the Lease.

Lessor reserves the right to charge Lessee for the cost of any repairs that are necessary. Lessee assumes and shall bear the entire risk of loss of the Equipment from any cause during the term of the Lease.

If the tracking information for the return shipping label provided by Lessor does not show that the Equipment has been picked up by Shipper and the Lessee has no drop-off receipt, the Equipment is considered unreturned. If Lessee used an alternate shipping method, not arranged in advance by the parties, and the Equipment is subsequently lost in transit, the Equipment is considered unreturned.
