FAQs

Choosing to have your wedding filmed is a decision you won’t regret! While I might biased, I’ve spoken with too many couples who deeply regret not having a wedding video.

Weddings are unique occasions where loved ones come together to celebrate not just the union of two people but also the love shared among family and friends. However, the day will pass so quickly, and even the most vivid memories can fade over time. A professional wedding film captures all the sights, sounds, and emotions of your special day in a way that photos cannot replicate.

A wedding film acts as a time machine, allowing you to relive moments of joy, laughter, and love whenever you wish. It’s an investment in preserving the magic of your day, and you’ll treasure it for years to come. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to document your celebration in the most unforgettable way!

I provide professional wedding filming services across London, Kent, Essex, and the UK. For assignments that require travel exceeding two hours from London, a base travel and accommodation fee will apply, beginning at £200. This fee may be adjusted depending on the project requirements and increased distances.

What sets me apart is my commitment to making your wedding filming experience as enjoyable as the final film itself. I understand that being in front of a camera can be uncomfortable for many people, so I use my decade of experience to create a relaxed atmosphere.

I focus on building genuine connections with couples and their guests, helping everyone feel at ease throughout the day. Before long, the camera becomes a natural part of the celebration, and guests often forget they’re being filmed.

My filming style is natural and unobtrusive, enriched with artistic touches and lots of fun!

I focus on capturing genuine moments with minimal interference, allowing the true essence of the experience to shine through. I engage actively with guests, encouraging them to relax and enjoy themselves while being filmed. This approach creates an atmosphere of fun and spontaneity, resulting in truly remarkable and authentic recordings.

When the moment is right, I love to invite guests to let loose, dance, and have fun in front of the camera. This combination of comfort and creativity enables me to capture authentic moments that genuinely reflect the joy of your special day.

I love what I do, so you’ll often see me with a big smile, knowing I’m capturing priceless shots that will make your wedding film something you’ll treasure forever.

Yes, I record everything in full.

While your highlight film will feature selected visuals and soundbites from the formal parts of the day, I will provide you with complete recordings of these moments separately from the highlights.

This gives you the flexibility to watch everything together or separately if you wish. Couples typically watch these longer formal videos on anniversaries, while they watch their highlight film far more frequently!

No, it’s not necessary to meet beforehand. However, I always prefer to connect in some way before booking — whether in person, via video chat, or over the phone. This helps my clients feel completely comfortable with their decision-making and deciding on me.

That said, if we don’t meet beforehand, that’s perfectly fine. I can still meet you on the wedding day and achieve the same amazing experience and results.

Yes, in some cases, you may need permission, especially in religious settings. Many places of worship and officiants require advance notice if you intend to film your ceremony. It’s important to note that these requests may not always be approved, and even if they are, there could be strict guidelines regarding what can be filmed and from which locations within the venue.

However, outside of the ceremony itself — before and after — you generally have more flexibility. I can still capture beautiful moments throughout your special day, even if filming during the ceremony is limited. Rest assured, I will work closely with you to ensure a wonderful representation of your wedding!

While your wedding film is sure to be amazing, there are several ways to enhance its visual and emotional impact. With a little planning, you can elevate your wedding film to the next level.

Personal Messages.
Consider writing heartfelt letters to each other and allowing me to film you reading them in private before the ceremony. These intimate moments can add a deeply personal touch to your film, providing beautiful visuals and poignant soundbites for your highlight film.

Presenter Positioning.
By choosing a consistent position for everyone to give their speeches during the reception, you can minimise distractions and create a clear focal point for both the audience and cameras. This approach allows me to focus my recording efforts on one spot instead of trying to cover multiple, random and often conflicting position angles.

Choreographed Dancing.
If you have a choreographed first dance planned, please let me know in advance. This allows me to prepare appropriately and use specific equipment to capture your performance flawlessly. Additionally, it enables me to draw on my experience in live music television to ensure that your dance looks spectacular on film!

Don’t rush!
With so many powerful emotions, it’s easy to feel the urge to rush through the ceremony and speeches. However, it’s important to take your time and savor every moment. This means not rushing up the aisle or starting the speeches earlier than planned just to finish them sooner. Whatever you choose to do, please remember not to start without me!

By incorporating these suggestions, you can create a wedding film that beautifully captures your special day and the emotions that come with it!

I use professional level equipment to ensure the highest quality in my films. This includes 4K cameras for stunning visuals, professional-grade microphones for crystal-clear audio, and efficient lighting setups to create the ideal atmosphere. Additionally, I use a drone to capture breathtaking aerial shots. Each piece of equipment is carefully selected to enhance the storytelling and overall production value of the final film.

Yes. I love to fly! Aerial drone footage provides stunning establishing shots that greatly enhance the visual storytelling of a venue.

However, it’s important to note that drone usage is subject to weather conditions and specific regulations based on location.
Certain areas may have restrictions due to safety concerns or environmental sensitivity, which may prohibit drone operations.

No, you don’t have to wear a microphone. However, I highly recommend it for the ceremony to ensure optimal audio quality for your recording. I have a variety of microphones tailored to meet the different sound requirements throughout the day, so you can capture the most important soundbites with clarity.

No, I do not provide raw footage to my clients.

Each film I create involves extensive editing, where I refine every element of the original footage. This includes adjustments to exposure, colour grading, resizing, retiming, and more, resulting in a final product that differs significantly from the originally recorded files.

I also film in a unique way, which is optimised for the way I edit footage together that does not lend itself to be viewed without being edited first.

Additionally, I use multiple cameras that record in high-resolution 4K, which can generate project files ranging from 300 to 500GB. This significant amount of data can be daunting and overwhelming for anyone who isn’t a professional editor.

Rest assured, I carefully select the best moments and takes from your event, so you don’t need to sift through raw footage. You can trust that the final film will capture the essence of your day beautifully, full of the best sights, sounds and moments!

Absolutely! While most couples rely on my expertise to select music that perfectly complements the energy of their video, you are more than welcome to choose your own tracks. I will provide you with access to my licensed music library, where you can select from a wide variety of amazing copyrighted songs.

Please note that all musical choices should be finalised before your wedding date to ensure a smooth editing process. If you need assistance or suggestions, I’m here to help!

My goal is to capture every special moment of your day. I will arrive as early as needed and stay until all the important moments have been recorded, based on the wedding film package you choose.

My coverage can range from 8 to 14 hours, depending on your specific package. This ensures that I can document all the key events and candid moments that make your wedding unique.

To secure your booking, a non-refundable deposit is required. The remaining balance is due upon completion of the project, prior to the delivery of your finalised films.

Completed wedding films are delivered via a beautiful online video album that is compatible with any smart TV or mobile viewing device.

This allows you to easily access, view, download, and enjoy the content anytime and anywhere. Additionally, sharing the films with friends and family is effortless, letting you spread the joy with just a few clicks.

Clients who choose the Platinum film package will also receive their wedding film content on a charming USB drive.

Absolutely. Every wedding I book is a personal commitment, and I take great pride in filming each event myself. My creative passion drives me to be fully involved in every project, and I believe that each couple deserves my undivided attention and dedication.

Therefore, to ensure I can give my best, I limit the number of weddings I take on and never book multiple events on the same day.

The only time I would consider having someone else step in is if I am unable to film due to unforeseen circumstances. In such cases, I will prioritize finding a qualified professional to cover for me, but only with the couple’s consent.

For these reasons my availability is limited, so don’t delay with contacting me when trying to secure your wedding date.

Yes, I work well with photographers and enjoy collaborating with other media professionals when covering a wedding.

For me, it’s important to establish the right chemistry, allowing us to create something special together rather than competing for the same shots or similar outcomes.

I kindly request the opportunity to film couples and their guests in specific ways and at certain times to capture the shots I need, particularly romantic interactions between the couple. This goes double during the magical ‘golden hour’. My goal is to seize these mini-moments between your photography setups to make the most of our time together. I promise you it will be worth it!

Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with some fantastic photographers who I would gladly recommend know they will also deliver an incredible client experience as well as outstanding results.

Yes! With my platinum package, I will stay to film the fireworks and all the festivities that follow your first dance. This is a fantastic opportunity to also capture great footage of your evening guests, entertainment, and any other celebrations you have planned later on. It’s a wonderful way to ensure that every moment— from dawn till dusk, and beyond — is captured and preserved!

Each wedding is a wonderful but demanding day, often taking place in extreme weather conditions, which can be challenging. Having access to refreshments can significantly boost my energy and focus levels.

Most venues are accustomed to accommodating the needs of visiting media professionals, and arrangements can typically be made discreetly to ensure minimal disruption to the main wedding party.

Please understand that while this is not a requirement, but any offering of food and refreshments would be sincerely appreciated.
