Frequently Asked Questions

What does First Sight Films do?

First Sight Films is a St. Augustine photo and video studio. We cover live events — corporate events, conferences, and festivals — and produce commercial video and photography for cultural institutions, venues, and brands across Northeast Florida. Three years in, we've covered 50+ events and 100+ shoots, with a 5.0★ rating across 48 Google reviews.

What types of events do you cover?

Corporate events and sales rallies, conferences, music and cultural festivals, and grand openings and ribbon cuttings. We've covered everything from HMA Mortgage's two-day sales rally to the Sing Out Loud Festival to the Consulate General of Ireland's exhibit opening.

Where in Florida do you work?

We're based in St. Augustine and cover events across Northeast Florida — St. Augustine, St. Augustine Beach, Ponte Vedra, Jacksonville, and the surrounding area. If your event's further out, just ask — we fold any travel into your quote up front.

How much does event coverage cost?

Most event projects land between $1,800 and $9,000, depending on cameras, crew, and deliverables. Single Videographer starts at $1,800; Single Event (videographer + photographer, 300+ images, recap) starts at $5,500; Full Coverage (3 cameras, recap film, photo) starts at $9,000. A 15-minute call gets you an exact quote.

What do I get, and how soon?

Typically a highlight or recap film plus social cutdowns, with keynote, panel, award, or testimonial captures on larger packages, plus edited photos. Full deliverables usually arrive within 7 business days, and we give you an exact delivery date in writing when we quote.

Can you deliver content during the event, not just after?

Yes — it's one of the main reasons producers hire us. We turn same-day and next-day social cutdowns while your event is still live. At Sing Out Loud we edit photos the moment an act steps off stage so the festival posts that night; HMA had a 30-second reel the day after their rally.

Do you shoot photo and video together?

Yes — one team covers both video and stills, so you're never juggling two vendors who block each other's shots. You get matched photo and video from a single production, on one quote.

Can I use the footage in my ads and campaigns?

Yes — you get full usage rights to everything we deliver: website, social, and paid advertising. The Consulate General of Ireland ran our reel as a paid month-long campaign. We deliver finished pieces (not raw footage), retain ownership for our own portfolio, and archive your raw files for three years.

What makes First Sight Films different?

Three things. First, we start with the use — before we plan a single shot, we figure out where your content needs to live and what it's for, so every decision serves your marketing, not just the highlight reel. Second, we're one team for photo and video, so you're never juggling vendors who block each other's shots. And third, we treat event coverage as documentary storytelling, not just stage footage — which is why the venues and institutions that already trust us, like the St. Augustine Amphitheatre, Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, Flagler College, and St. Johns County, keep coming back. We're local, we probably already know your room, and we show up prepared for a moment you can't redo.

Do you work at my venue — and are you insured?

Almost certainly — we're local and have covered events at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre, Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, Embassy Suites St. Augustine Beach, Flagler College, and Francis Field, among others. If we haven't shot your room, we scout it ahead. We carry $1M in general liability insurance and can send a certificate of insurance naming your venue as additional insured.
