FAQ's
What equipment do you use?
To film your wedding we use the most up to date technology. We use professional sound recording equipment and Canon XL2 Camcorders that are used by television stations like BBC1 and Channel 4 to film the day. Then we use the latest computers and Adobe professional software to edit your footage onto a professional DVD.
How many people will be there on the day?
That depends on what optional extras you choose. The standard package includes just myself. You do have the option of an extra camera and camerman which we do highly reccomend. It ensures every shot is covered throughout the day and leaves the chief operator available to roam, capture artistic footage and create multi angle shots. All of this ensures that nothing is missed and gives the final edit a stunning finish.Just think of us as two extra guests.
How long will the final edited film be?
We do not have a set time to which the film must fall into, but most films will run somewhere between 1 hour and 1 hour 30 minutes.
Do we need to meet with you?
Not necessarily, but it's suggested. As long as we are able to discuss what you are hoping for and have an informal chat. We will of course, come to you to discuss things, at no extra cost.
Are there any rules or regulations?
The only thing we ask is that you check with whoever is taking your service and confirm that filming is allowed, as some venues have certain rules about filming. We take care of all other licenses that are required.
Do we need to wear any microphones or equipment?
No. It is not neccesary as we have recently invested in some new sound equipment that does not require being worn in any way.
Where in the UK do you cover?
Everywhere. We are based in the South West, in Bristol. However we will film any event for you anywhere in the world. Additional travel costs will be added for those weddings that take place further than 50 miles from where we are based. Those within 50 miles of Bristol will not incur any extra costs.
I am worried you will get in the way or pester the guests
We make sure that we stay in the background on your wedding day. We film things naturally and we will never require "re-takes" or ask you to stage anything, we will film the day as it naturally unfolds. We never pester anyone and with our filming style all your guests are relaxed and enjoy being on camera. Unless being interviewed everyone says they do not notice us at all.
