FAQs

  • If you would like to see if I’m free for your wedding, please contact me using the contact form, via phone, or on social media. I aim to reply within 24 hours.

  • I spend approximately 40 – 50 hours editing the footage into your final video and therefore it takes time to deliver a beautiful final film. I try to deliver your highlight film to you 6 weeks after your wedding and your feature film after approximately 10 weeks. Of course, I will never rush your video so sometimes it may take a little longer.

  • I would suggest getting in contact at least 12 months in advance to have the best chance of having your date still available. Dates in the months of May, July and August are typically booked first.

  • I live in London. However, I travel far and wide to film weddings and that includes abroad. Depending on the location of your wedding, I will let you know if there are any additional costs such as time, fuel, flights, overnight accommodation etc.

  • My coverage starts at bridal/groom preparation (2.5 hours before the ceremony) and finishes 30 minutes after your first dance. Additional coverage can be organised and if you would like me to stay until midnight then there is an additional supplement of £300. Alternatively, if you have a multi-day wedding then contact me for a bespoke quote.

  • If you have invested in a highlight video, then I upload the video to Vimeo or YouTube and I also send a USB with your film. Feature films are vastly larger files and due to the limitations of video sharing sites, I provide this on USB.

  • Editing a film typically takes 40-50 hours. This is because I pay incredible care and attention to editing and you can trust that I have produced every the best wedding video possible. Therefore, I don’t typically offer re-edits. Re-edits will be charged accordingly, unless there’s something that’s wrong (in a technical sense) in the video.

  • I license music after watching through the footage from your wedding. That way, I can choose a song that fits the flow of your wedding day. Licensing popular songs isn’t possible without infringing copyright, so I source independent music for your wedding film. The advantage of independent music is that its far more unique to your wedding film, unlike more popular songs. If you would like some input on music, the best way is to let me know genres that you like.

  • Yes! This covers my gear, indemnity and public liability for myself and my second shooters/assistants. That means that you can have peace of mind, knowing that any problems that arise on or after your wedding can be resolved in one way or another.

  • I recommend talking with the vicar when you first meet them and explain that you will be having a videographer at your wedding to see if they have any specific stipulations. Some request an additional fee if a videographer is present. If this is the case, then it is the responsibility of the couple to pay this fee. Vicars typically request as little disruption as possible and therefore I (and any assistants) will not move around much during the ceremony (which is typically true for civil ceremonies too).

    Another consideration is timings. Before civil ceremonies begin the bride / groom will have a 10 minute meeting with the registrar (which is a legal requirement). This gives me an additional 10 minutes to set up my cameras before the ceremony begins.

    With church ceremonies, no such meeting takes place. Therefore, I aim to leave bride preparation 15 -20 minutes before the bride departs for the church, which ensures that I am ready for the start of the ceremony. However, this means that I may not be able to capture some the end of bride prep, such as getting into the dress.

    Building some additional time into your schedule, or hiring a second shooter are two ways to ensure that I can film bride prep in it’s entirety and be ready for the beginning of the ceremony.

  • Yes, I offer drone (aerial) videography. The drone footage I film, is typically “establishing shots”, such as footage of the venue and surrounding area. If you would like aerial footage in your film please get in touch and I can discuss this with you.

  • Outdoor ceremonies are always fun! They give me the freedom to move around and film angles that I wouldn’t be able to achieve indoors. However, there are also some challenges. The main challenge is audio recording in windy conditions. Gusts of wind can cause the microphone record to muffled audio. However, in my experience, the audio quality still sounds great and it’s certainly not something that should put you off having an outdoor ceremony.

  • You can reserve me for your wedding with an initial deposit of £300, which secures your date in my diary. At the time of reservation you will also receive a written agreement. This outlines the videography service so you know what to expect from your wedding film. Once you’re happy to go ahead, you can e-sign the agreement to reserve me.

  • A second shooter is an additional videographer who will help me with filming on the day and will capture key moments, that potentially wouldn’t be possible to film if I was working alone. Please send me a message if you would like two videographers (or more) filming your wedding.

  • I offer a documentary edit (also known as FOMO edit). This includes every useable clip placed in chronological order and exported as a single video. In order to improve your viewing experience, I colour grade the footage (so it looks good) and adjust audio level of the recorded sound (so it sounds good). I also trim the clips, so you don’t have to watch sections that are out of focus or shaky (it doesn’t happen often, I promise!). I send this option when I send you your quote.

  • I limit the number of weddings I film to 15 per year. This means I get to know each couple, communicate regularly and dedicate more time to preparing, filming and editing each and every wedding film.
