Frequently Asked Questions

What will be the duration of our wedding film?

This will partly depend on what package you choose, and the fact that every film is different. The Editor will make careful decisions as to what makes the final cut and what gets left to the cutting room floor. Typically a film lasts anywhere between 25 and 60 minutes. If you imagine a half hour TV show has on average of at least 20 hours of material shot, this gives you an idea of the work and careful story telling an editor has to make the finished cut. You have the option to buy the footage that doesn't make the finished master.

What area do you cover

Anywhere. We have access to self-directing TV cameramen all over the country. We are also happy to discuss weddings abroad using our experienced team.

Are you discreet?

Very much so. Our cameramen are broadcast professionals and as such will be discreet but will not miss those special and tender moments.

How long will the finished edit take?

Please allow approximately 6-8 weeks for the full edit, Studio sound mix and DVD Master to be compiled.

Can I choose the music?

We encourage input from our clients. However, many of our clients give us a feeling for the kind of music they like and don't like and through our creative process we are able to perfectly match the footage with a score that compliments it.

Do we need to meet before the big day?

Again, we cannot stress enough that every wedding is different. For some couples it's been a case of a few phone calls, for others it's been meeting in person and walking around the venue. We always produce a creative brief that will encapsulate your requirements and our vision.

Who will be filming my wedding?

All of our cameramen are highly experienced in the TV industry. They have all worked on top shows for many of the networks, BBC, ITV, Four, Five, SKY etc. They may sometimes be accompanied by an additional Researcher/Director should we think it is required.

Can you film anything before or after the big day?

Yes. We have Bespoke packages that are perfect for this. Perhaps we could film the Hen or Stag Party, Interview friends and family before the big day, attend the honeymoon etc. The options are endless.

What equipment do you use?

Our cameramen use Sony DVCAM and HDV TV broadcast cameras. We also use radio mics to perfectly capture and re-produce vocals. Our Directors Cut package includes a Camera Jib for that extra cinematic effect! Our Edit suites are equipped with Avid & Final Cut Pro Studio for professional Offline & Online Editing/Encoding.
