charlotte’s premier choice for brides who must have a photographer who also does video.
videography & drone work
we offer both Videography and Drone services, either separately or packaged together with photography.
Most couples should seriously consider these two service offerings. Why?
Because they bring your wedding day to life in a new way that photos alone cannot. We film and craft videos that keep the motion and energy of your day alive though audio - something that isn’t possible with a photograph (unless it’s set to music in a slideshow, and even then, it’s a different type of experience).
Watching a great wedding video can be a truly breathtaking experience — your favorite songs can be added, those smooth, sweeping transitions.
Video done right can be truly epic.
And also, let’s address this:
You and your spouse aren’t the only ones who’ll see your wedding video — let’s face it — in the social media age, EVERYONE will see it and envy you.
Why? Because they’ll wish they invested in video for their wedding.

Video and photo go hand-in-hand
Thirty years ago, it was just about Photography.
Not so anymore — the two compliment each other.
Although videography is becoming extremely popular these days, I still get the occasional couple that reaches out about only photography, saying like…
“A wedding video? We’ll probably watch it once and then never again.”
Perhaps.
I mean, maybe that’s the case with your PARENTS’ wedding video from 1983 — you know, that long, 30-minute full ceremony video where the videographer was sitting in the back of the room, not moving?
But that’s not what we do at Robert Burns II Photography & Videography.
We make videos that are a lot more modern.
why Aerials?
It’s less that people don’t want drone, and more so that they never realized it could be used for weddings.
Prior to the early 2010’s, drones were ungodly expensive, and not used much for anything non-commercial. Then drones exploded in popularity as the costs fell, and you began seeing them for use with real estate listings, construction work, and you guessed it, weddings. There are still people who don’t realize what a valuable tool they are though.
Offering aerials as a core competency for my brand are so important to me that I got licensed in it. I studied for months, logged hundreds of flight hours, took classes and got my stripes a couple years ago.
Little known fact: I used to fly drones for my old day job working at a family of high-end retirement homes.
Drone is a great addition to your wedding package.
FAQ. One of the most common questions we get is…
“how long will our finished wedding video be?”
our videos usually end up between 5-9 minutes in runtime.
…When we edit your Highlight Video, we basically compile aspects of every part of your day — and curating it into a single ‘Highlight’ Video. For every client, we promise no less than 5-7 minutes in length, but there are some times where we have so much amazing footage, that we produce videos that are a little longer.
So below, you’ll see videos ranging from 5 minutes…. to 8 minutes… to 12 minutes.
That is simply our way of under-promising, and over-delivering (see Reviews for more).
I believe very deeply in strong storytelling, as well as under-promising and over-delivering. With that in mind, please enjoy these sample videos:
“Anna and I just had a chance to watch the video and we are extremely thrilled with the how the video came out. You and your team went above and beyond and we are really thankful that you all captured this footage of our special day. The details, the music, and the lighting were very much on point! We are really excited to show our family members and friends. Thank you again, so very much from the both of us!”
“I absolutely love this video, definitely got butterflies watching it 🥰 thank you so much for all your hard work!!”
“Robert... Robert!! The video is absolutely stunning! We couldn’t have had a better team!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! You were exceptional and your work speaks volumes. The Greenleafs are grateful for you! ”
This is what we mean when we say we do Photo AND Video
Lauren & Blake are just one of the many couples who hired us for the complete Photography, Videography and Drone package. Instead of hiring multiple companies who may or may not know each other’s workflow or may not have synergy, these two went with an experienced team and trusted us for their big day. On the left below, you can see their video, which gets a little emotional (the good kind!) at times. On the right are some of our favorite photographs.
Enjoy these pieces, and keep in mind that you can have something equally amazing to these samples for your own wedding!
