Here are some very helpful frequently asked questions about our wedding videography services. Click the question to reveal our reply.
Yes, we have Public Liability Insurance. There is a link to a PDF of our Policy on the enquiry page.
Yes, we have a drone to film footage for weddings. Its use is dependent on suitable flying weather and if flying a Drone is allowed at the venue.
Some locations that are close to airports or other no-fly zones means we would not be able to fly. Additionally, some venues do not allow their use or flight.
We are Insured to fly and are CAA Registered.
Our Packages cover from Bride/Groom preparations, through to your First Dance. We normally stay for about 30-45 minutes after your First Dance to capture your guests dancing and enjoying the evening. We can stay later if there is something you wish us to cover - just ask us.
We believe dressing smart is respectful to the occasion, but this also helps us capture you and your guests naturally since we will blend in. Shirt, smart trousers, waistcoats are our normal attire. If you have a specific dress code, just let us know.
We are a Husband and Wife team, so two will be in attendance. This gives us good coverage of your day, and helpful for multi-angle filming during your Ceremony and Speeches.
Whilst the final decision is made during the editing process, it's the conversations with our couples and the tone, mood and style of the wedding that help guide us to make choices that they will love. Over the years of editing wedding films, we have perhaps only had a couple of occasions where we were asked to change the music we selected. We choose our music from a Licenced music library - we cannot use Commercial music.
We never raise this question, but if you were to ask, the answer is YES! A wedding is a long day, for us it means we will be working 10 hours or more - plus travel too. There is a natural time when you and your guests are eating that a Vendor meal can be provided - and this helps to fuel us through to the end of filming. We have no dietary requirements, we are just happy to be considered.
A booking Fee is required along with your Booking Form to hold your date. The remainder is due no later than seven days before your wedding. We accept payment by Bank Transfer.
Yes, reading letters you have written to each other and read on your wedding morning are great. They provide a narrative audio track over the film that works very well - and quite often highly emotional too. In order to make this work, we only need a quiet space and about 10 minutes each of your time, so it can be worked into the preparation schedule really easily.
Couples book us based on watching our past wedding films and hopefully trust our skill. There have been the occasional request to make changes; typically it will be to add or replace just a few clips and this is very easy. So one round of small changes is perfectly acceptable.
Yes. Adding our Extras is something that many couples do after their wedding. Changes to the main Film type (Highlights, Featurette, Feature) can be made also, but this must be requested BEFORE we begin the editing process, otherwise such a change will incur more cost than paying the difference in the package costs.
Raw is a term that refers to the footage that is taken straight from the camera. It has less contrast and colour than the final footage you will see on your wedding video. It contains the on-camera Audio and as it is unedited, will have the 'IN' and 'OUT' aspects of footage such as framing and focusing that we are making as the shot is set-up.
By contrast, when we take the clips for your film, we select the part we will use from a clip, cut away what we don't need (the INs and OUTs). We may need to stabilise or slow the clips down, we will correct and adjust the colour and contrast and we will frame the clip to suit. Individual clips can range from a few seconds to many seconds long and some, like the Ceremony and Speeches will be minutes long per clip.
Where there is spoken words in your wedding film; like the Speeches and Ceremony, that audio is captured using separate microphones. We replace the 'on camera' audio with this high quality audio in the finished film.
So the Raw footage is exactly that, raw and unedited, the origin for us to make your wedding film. Many people like to have the Raw footage as it contains everything we filmed. It has on-camera audio so you can hear the sounds and voices too. The Raw footage we supply is saved into folders denoting different parts of your day. This makes it easier to navigate through your clips. The clips will be in 4k. At a typical wedding we shoot 300-500 clips.

Yes, of course. There has never been a time when we have not worked alongside a wedding photographer. We always have great fun and work with ease together. We are both there with the same goal and find on most occasions we can help each other to make the day run effortlessly. Many of the amazing wedding photographers have gone on to recommend us for future weddings leading to a great working relationship, cohesive and providing an even better end result for the couple.
We aim for delivery of your main wedding video within three weeks of your wedding. Unlike many videographers, we carefully plan our year of bookings and work to ensure we are not snowed under with more work than we can handle as this can result in backlogs or out-sourcing which in never ideal. We always edit our work in full. Our timescales still allows lots of time to carefully edit, review and adjust until we are 100% happy. We like to test the edit on phones, tablets and TVs before delivery too, to ensure it looks and sounds the best. Delivery of your wedding film is initially via a passworded link to the couple (your own private Premiere!). Once happy we can make it live to share and download with family and friends, before we complete full delivery.
We do travel further afield to shoot weddings. Often couples have seen our work and fall in love with our style and quality, so ask if we are prepared to travel. If our additional travel costs and if required, overnight acommodation are covered, we are happy to accept.
We capture the Speeches and your wedding Ceremony in full and deliver them as full, separate edited videos with all our packages. We capture them from several camera angles and also use audio recording devices to capture clear audio too.
