FAQ's

2 Videographers are by no means essential, however we feel it really does help get the best results. It ensures we capture multiple angles for the ceremony, speeches, first dance etc… as these things only happen once, there’s no retakes! Also many weddings have multiple activities happening at once, so its handy to have flexibility on the day. We typically have one videographer shooting close ups, and the other capturing wider angles to show off the venue. Our style is very relaxed and unobtrusive, meaning you’ll hardly know we’re there.
The only package we offer with one videographer is our ‘short but sweet package’, as these videos are much shorter and don’t require as much footage during editing.

Both Photographers & Videographers are required to be suitably insured in the case of injury to themselves or others, but also to cover the costs incurred by lost equipment or dissatisfied customers. We carry a full suite of insurances to ensure peace of mind for all.

In order to keep our standard very high, we only commit to a select number of weddings a year – usually less than 20 weddings. This ensures we can offer you the care and attention you deserve, and offers you a degree of exclusivity.

One of the things that sets us apart, is the fact that we don’t count strict hours. We film everything from getting ready, through to the last dance and the evening party. We stay as late as necessary to capture enough footage for your chosen package. There’s only so much ‘dad dancing’ and drunken antics required so typically we finish between 9-10pm.

We shoot with professional industry recognised video & audio equipment. We use small yet powerful Sony mirrorless cameras (Main camera – Sony A7Siii for the camera nerds), combined with an motorised camera stabiliser called a Gimbal. We also use various secondary static cameras to capture additional angles during the ceremony. All these cameras are all fairly small and non-intrusive.

Sound is captured by various professional audio recorders, and during the ceremony a small wireless microphone will be placed on the Groom which will go unnoticed. We may also mic up the officiant if they allow. Equally during speeches we aim to capture a high quality audio feed.

Remember our package costs partially cover the extensive investment we make into our equipment each year, including powerful editing Macs. We also have various backup solutions in the event of damage or malfunction of our equipment.

In some instances we may require overnight accommodation the night before, but this is always avoided where possible.
