Questions

Frequently asked.

How do I book?
+
When you're ready to book, you'll receive a contract through Adobe Sign to electronically sign, followed by an invoice through FreshBooks. A 25% deposit is required to hold your date, with the remaining balance due before your wedding day. Everything is handled electronically.
What is a Cinematic Wedding Film?
+
A cinematic wedding film is a 5–8 minute highlight of your day, edited with music and real audio from your vows and speeches. It captures the moments that matter most, assembled into a keepsake you can share for generations.
What is a Documentary Wedding Film?
+
The documentary film plays back all the most important moments at full length in chronological order — first looks, ceremony, speeches, dances, and more. Usually 40+ minutes. It's the one couples return to when they want to relive everything exactly as it happened.
Why would I need a second videographer?
+
A second videographer allows for simultaneous events and multiple angles. If you want the bride and groom captured getting ready at the same time, or both facial expressions during the first look, you need two filmmakers. It dramatically reduces the chance of missing any spontaneous moments.
How far in advance should I book?
+
It depends on the day. To be safe, 12+ months is a good rule of thumb — I've had dates book 18 months in advance. That said, I've also filmed weddings booked just 2–3 months away. The best move is to reach out and check.
Do you travel for destination weddings?
+
Absolutely. I'm based in Cincinnati but available for weddings anywhere. Travel within 1.5 hours is included. For anything beyond that, reach out and I'll put together a custom quote.

About Maxwell Faust

Hey, I'm Max.

I didn't take the traditional path to get here. I spent two years at Ohio State studying chemical engineering before I realized my real passion was behind a camera. So I took the leap, dropped out, and built a video business from scratch.

Since officially launching in 2020, I've filmed over 100 weddings across Cincinnati and beyond. This isn't a side project or a weekend hobby. It's my full-time craft, and I pour everything into it.

Getting married to my wife, Bayley, and welcoming our daughter Frankie has given me a deeper appreciation for what I do. I know firsthand how fast these moments pass. That's what drives me to make sure yours are captured the right way.

When you book Maxwell Faust Productions, you're booking me — not a rotating crew. I'll be there from the first email to the final film.

My approach

How I think about wedding films.

Be invisible, be present
The best wedding films don't look like they were filmed at all. I work quietly in the background so your day unfolds naturally — no direction, no interruption.
Audio is everything
The words your partner says at the altar, the toast your best man gives — these are what you'll want back most. I capture every moment of real audio, not just the images.
You know who you're getting
I named the company after myself because accountability matters. When you book Maxwell Faust Productions, Maxwell Faust shows up. Every single time.

Ready to work together?

Most dates book 12+ months in advance, though every situation is different. Reach out and check.
