That way, you'll avoid a trap that many couples fall into where, six months after the wedding, they find themselves thinking, "I wish I had a the video of me and my Aunty Mary/pal Jen/Grandad etc."

Q&As About our Wedding Videos

..WHY SHOULD WE BOOK YOU FOR PHOTO AND VIDEO?
Booking us for both photo and video will not only offer you a much smoother planning and booking process but also offer you a seamlessly well- planned wedding day, Which results in a beautifully cohesive final product. We work together ensuring an understanding when we are creating our work
..how many videogrpahers will there be?
Normally you have 1 professional videographer. With our Cinematic option you have 2 professional videographers, 1 can cover the groom whilst the other the groom when getting ready, the 2nd videographer can also operate the gimbal & drone if required to add those spectacular shot to your final wedding video
HOW MANY CAMERAS WILL THERE BE?
We use up to 1-3 cameras depending on the package ordered. We DONT use Go-Pros unlike some wedding video businesses. We only use professional video equipment
..How do you record sound?
We use professional standard sound recording equipment to assure your vows and speeches are clear to hear with no unwanted distractions. We believe sound is just as important, if not more important than the visuals when it comes to filming your wedding day. In order to capture clear sound of your vows and speeches we use a combination of on-board microphones attached to our cameras and what is also known as lavaliere microphones connected to a small recording device. This can be placed discreetly in the groom’s pocket for the ceremony. As long as the bride, groom and marriage officiant are placed in close distance of one another, the mic placed on groom will pick up all dialogue. In some cases we may ask to mic up the marriage officiant also. We will use this same method when recording the speeches at your reception.
..Fully Licensed Wedding Drone
With many wedding films now having a more cinematic feel, drone shots in your wedding video are the perfect answer. It enables you to have your very own Hollywood style wedding film that will be a smash hit for you and your partner to revisit time and time again. Drone footage adds a new dimension and perspective to a wedding. The inclusion of drones in modern wedding films is a very recent one and has seen a recent rise in popularity thanks to the improvements in technology and products available. Drones are great at setting the scene for the wedding ceremony and location. They’re also great for capturing movement, such as filming wedding cars on arrival or departure from the church, as well as capturing the wedding guests from above. An obvious use of a drone is the classic higher perspective, perhaps with the camera looking straight down like a birds eye view or angled at the subject or desired location. However, they also have great advantages for creative use flying at lower heights and altitudes. Drones have also made shots easier that would have historically been shot with a jib boom device – that’s the large counterweight operated on those high budget films! Now of course, a wedding film won’t be full of drone shots – a wedding film is all about the emotions, the smiles, the embraces and unique story of the bride and groom! However, some tasteful inclusion of drone footage will help tell the story.
WILL THE FILMING GET IN THE WAY OF THE WEDDING?
We will try to be as discreet as possible and hopefully you’ll forget we’re even there. In some cases we may provide a small amount of direction during the course of you day (in much the same way the photographer would). We do ask to for a small amount of time alone with the bride and groom after the ceremony if time is permitted, but mostly the nature of our films means we want you to behave naturally, so we can blend into the background and capture those special moments when you least expect it. To find out more read our recent blog post - should we book a wedding videographer.

wEDDING MUSIC
We offer a great range of Copyright free music tracks toadd to your highlights film
WHY ARE YOUR CINEMATIC WEDDING FILMS NO MORE THAN 5 MINUTES LONG WHEN YOU WILL BE AT OUR WEDDING FOR 8 HOURS?
Our main goal as wedding videoographers is to make you a wedding film that everyone can watch and find engaging and entertaining. The Directors Cut with its long form wedding videography will have the full day, many wedding video companies do not offer this often because of the recording limitions of their DSLR equipment [UK 30 minute record limit on DSLRs] plus its an awful lot of extra video editing!. Young stylish new couples want their wedding film to share similarities and conventions that are commonly seen in movies. We primarily shoot for our 'cinematic short wedding film’, as well as including your full ceremony and speeches.
whAT IS A ’SHORT FORM WEDDING FILM'?
Although there is no official standard, the generally accepted rule of thumb for a short form is about 5 minutes in length. The first thing you will probably notice when viewing a short form wedding video is that events don’t always occur in chronological order. That’s not to say, however, that it doesn’t flow. In fact most times it can have a very concise flow. The reason being is that couples trust our creative instincts, which in turn allows us to tell a more compelling story by shifting around certain moments. This is known as “time-shifting.” The ultimate goal of the short form film is to harness the overall emotion of the day, and to tell a story that’s engaging, fun, and honest.
