How many cameras do you use?

All our videographers are based near Kent. When you book one videographer, we use unto 2 cameras at one time, one is on a tripod and the other one operated. The issue with static unmanned cameras is that someone can stand in front of it! However we do let those around it know it is there.

With our extra videographer option, we use 3/4 cameras and are able to monitor all the cameras used, guaranteeing various angles of the bug moments throughout your day.
How far in advance should I have book?

The sooner the better, however we often have late availability for weekday weddings.
Does filming get in the way of the wedding?

Many people are used to cameras now and are less worried about being filmed, after all you are captured on over 1000 cameras on a single high street shopping trip! We do however pride ourselves on being discreet, meaning we don't make ourselves known for no reason or get right up close.

What is the difference between Documentary and Cinematic?

These terms mean different things to different people. For us Documentary is "how it happened". But polished up a bit! Your main film is a record of your day set to music of your choice lasting unto 90 minutes depending on the length of your ceremony and speeches.

Cinematic is a highly styled and themed clip , our highlights , where we bespoke style it according to your day and your preferences. Some couples love the romantic style and want poems etc to be included, others want a fun, relaxed style with their characters shining through.

Cinematic is best described by watching this video below
Why are your films more expensive than others?

We hear you! We provide wedding films for discerning clientele, who can tell the difference between our films and cheaper ones and appreciate the extra service they will receive. Whilst many of our competitors still use older HD Canon 5D cameras or smaller photo based cameras like the GH5 and A6300, we use larger 4K Sony Video Cameras with full manual controls and only use smaller cameras for B-Roll or Gimbal footage.

We know we are not the cheapest wedding film company and we are not the most expensive either. We spend allot of time crafting our films and we also make a substantial yearly investment in cameras and equipment. We want to cover the best weddings in the UK and treat them with the same level of detail as if it was going to be watched by millions of people on the big screen, we spend on average 40 hours editing your films.

How do your record sound?

We use professional sound recording equipment for the ceremony and the speeches. By informing the readers and the people making the speeches to pick up a sound recording device from us beforehand will help us, otherwise we will ensure they have a device.

Our sound recording devices have a small microphone which attaches to the grooms jacket during the ceremony and sometimes we will also attach one to the officiant, however we never put a mic on the brides wedding dress, unlike some other film companies! The bride will be standing next to the groom and will be picked up clearly off his microphone.
What if you are ill and unable to attend?

David or Ricky are yet to miss a wedding out of nearly 1000! However we have connections with lots of experienced camera operators, who have filmed weddings with us before.
What will happen on the wedding day itself?

We just turn up and get on with creating you a fantastic film. We generally arrive slightly early to talk to the venue coordinator and find a discreet area for our equipment. We will then introduce ourselves to you, to let you know we have arrived. We then remain one step ahead in the background of your day recording all the natural moments in front of us.
Will you require a meal?

We do not filming during your wedding breakfast and we will use this time to recharge ourselves and equipment.
