Why should I get a videographer?
Photos are great, but they can only do so much. Photography can’t capture dialogue, sounds, jokes, or show events as they happen. Without video footage, you’ll always be left to fill in the blanks later. A good videographer captures all the sights and sounds of your day, so that they are locked away for posterity.

How should I choose a videographer?
Look at the options and see what suits your budget and style. Things to consider are: equipment used, creative style, editing techniques, and if you feel comfortable with who’s behind the camera. In the end, there will be two deciding factors: the cost and the product. When you feel comfortable on both, you’ve got a winner.

What is the advantage of having two cameras?
Two cameras provide multiple camera angles, so we can film from different angles and different field depths: from long shots to close ups. We then edit the different shots together in real time and together they make your film look 100% more impressive.

Do you use microphones?
Wireless microphones are used during all weddings and are attached to the groom’s lapel. During the reception we can connect to the sound desk to record direct from the speaker microphone.

Will there be large, bright flood lights?
We use the latest HD cameras with sensors that work well under low light situations. We won’t use flood lights at your wedding.

How long will it take to get my film?
You will receive your finished wedding film within 6-8 weeks of your wedding day.

What is the difference between edited and unedited?
Some videographers will have “unedited” or “dumped to tape” versions of your wedding. Most of these tapes are longer than the Lord of the Rings Trilogies and can make for tedious viewing (like the Lord of the Rings). We don’t “dump to tape”. Instead, we carefully select the footage you’ll want to see, and edit it into a watchable format.

Will my photographer and videographer work together?
We suggest sharing our contact details with the photographer so that any issues can be resolved before the day. In general, we try to be as unobtrusive as possible. We let the photographers set their shots and we work around them.

Can you tailor package to suit my needs?
We have a list of extras which you can select from to self-tailor your own package. We are happy to sit down with you to individually tailor a package to your day. Call us to arrange a consultation.

Do you attend the rehearsal?
We do not usually attend rehearsals, however if you feel it is important to have us there, we can discuss this at your consultation.

Do we get to pick the music for our film?
We are more than happy for you to choose the music. Let us know if you have a special song you wish to be used. If you’re unsure, we can help with song selection, or choose for you.

How do I pay?
We request a 1/3 deposit to confirm your booking. Two weeks before the wedding we require the second 1/3 of your payment, and the final 1/3 of your payment is due on delivery of your film.
