Frequently asked questions

Is digital equipment used?
Yes, we use professional digital cameras and edit digitally, therefore no quality is lost throughout the whole production.

Will the filming become intrusive?
No, we are very discreet and have developed a style of filming that enables us to become almost unnoticed by the Bride, Groom and guests. This enables us to capture the magical, fleeting moments, as well as every important event during your special day. You will be surprised at the detail contained in the finished film.

Will the editing make a difference?
Our style of editing will greatly enhance the finished video. This is the key to giving the raw footage a more emotional, enriched feel. We always endeavour to produce an interesting, evocative film that will involve everyone watching, even those that may not have attended the wedding. Editing techniques are used to emphasise appropriate scenes to evoke a resurgence of the heightened emotions of the day. To further smooth the natural flow, any obvious ‘niggles’ are expertly removed – “umms” or hesitations in the speeches, for example. Then music of your choice, and appropriate other tracks are added to further enrich the experience.

When will we receive the finished video?
The editing process is very time consuming and it depends on the time of year. Our busiest time is between May and September. At this time, we endeavour to deliver your videos within 3-5 weeks. Out of season weddings should be 2-3 weeks.

Can we see some more examples?
Please ring or email for a sample DVD.

How far in advance should we book your services?
We are frequently booked over a year in advance, so please check for our availability as soon as possible. The video company should be booked around the same time as the photographer and cars etc. Please note that a booking is not confirmed until we receive the deposit and signed contract. A letter of confirmation will then be sent to you.

Do you set shots up?
No. We use a documentary filming style and record events as they happen. We work closely with the photographer who will set up the shots. We refuse to do the ”Walk this way and.…. kiss now” shot!

Why use a professional videographer and not my uncle?
A professional wedding videographer will, through experience, know and recognise special moments and details of your wedding day that will make your video unforgettable. They will instinctively know the exact time that the next important event of the day is about to happen (the Bride arriving, confetti etc.) and position themselves in the best position to capture this. Then add to this the stylish editing, titling and tasteful special effects. Therefore, how could your uncle possibly compete? After all, would you really want to trust one of the biggest and most important days of your life to the inexperience of your uncle! Many couples have been disappointed and upset because his batteries went flat, or the pictures were shaky and the sound was inaudible!

What areas do you cover?
We offer full UK and abroad coverage by negotiation.

Do your DVDs have chapters and scene selection?
Yes. All or DVDs are authored and include chapters and thumbnailed scene buttons.
