I am not sure whether to have my wedding day filmed ?
Whether or not you decide to have your day filmed is entirely your choice, all of our past clients have told us that they are so glad they did as we captured those fleeting special moments that they missed on the day and the DVD is one of the most cherished mementos of their day. Your day will pass so quickly and is said by many "like a whirlwind" that it is impossible to take it all in, the film will bring back the real emotion of this joyous event capturing the atmosphere and excitement to relive in the future in a way photography can never do.

How can I guarantee I will get the same quality ?
The final picture and production quality we provide is of the highest order we always use the same equipment and crew on every wedding, the post production (edit) process is very lengthy to ensure we make the final result the best it can be, that is why we don't do low cost budget versions as this simply impacts on the quality of the final product we provide. However given the time spent and equipment used we believe we offer very good value for money, this is also verified by our clients.

Why should I choose you over your competitors?
It is true there are lots of videographer's out there mostly producing the same sort of quality, standard shots with a bit of commercial music dubbed on with little or no thought to the artistic and storytelling of this momentus day, most videographers have no formal training and have never worked in television - We have and our approach is totally different as film makers we craft the entire film around our clients, by getting to know them a little we are able to identify what is important and how best to capture their day, the edit stage is very lengthy as we choose what shots will work best and build the story around the soundtrack and recorded audio. This gives the films particular significance to the couple and family's and the fantastic feedback we receive verify's this.

What will the duration of the final film be?
The key thing to remember here is that you want a wedding film that is enjoyable to watch and tells a story so running times are slightly irrelevant. However they are affected by such things as the length of the ceremony and speeches, the number of guests, and any additional events taking place. The average wedding film lasts between 50 minutes & 1 hour thirty minutes. The extended highlights are around 8 Minutes long.

We are worried about being filmed?
We often get told that a member of the party usually the groom!! is nervous about being filmed. However, we are always told afterwards that we were very discreet, this is the only way to capture natural candid scenes.

How long will it take before I get my Wedding Film?
Turnaround varies depending on the time of year and as this long form editing it does take significant time to perfect into the final version. We always aim to complete within 14 weeks however it is important that you provide us with all the relevant information before you go on your honeymoon. As this allows us to start the editing process as soon as we have filmed the day.
