FAQ's
I understand there are many questions when it comes to the wedding film process, so I've included a frequently asked questions page here. My goal is to make sure you are informed and happy with your wedding film experience.
Booking Process
What is the deposit to secure you?
To secure your big day I take a 20% non refundable deposit. then the remaining balance 2 months before your big day
Can I get a custom package ?
In short, Yes ! While the popular months are generally booked fast, for out of season or mid week weddings, I can tailor something to your big day.
How do we keep in touch?
You can get me on WhatsApp, Email, Facebook or Instagram. All details are on the bottom of this webpage - I'll try and get back to you within 24hrs
Filming Process
Do you film everything?
I film two big parts of your big day continuously and from two angles: ceremony & speeches. The rest of the day I film in small 10-20 second chunks throughout - I'm always looking for the moments you will want to re watch, but I'm not filming all the time! so you don't have to worry about what you say!
I don't know how to act on camera!
You don't have to! I will get you to chat to each other, that usually looks most natural and at most I will ask you to have a cheeky kiss, by that point you'll be used to it, don't worry !
Will you get on with our photographer?
I've worked with loads of photographers over the years and I always make sure to keep things professional and communicate well with them. Since we work with couples who totally get us, I have a feeling we'll hit it off and create some amazing work together!
Editing Process
How long will it take to see my videos?
I aim to get your trailer to you asap, but in busy months this can take 14+ days. All videos will be sent to you within 8-12 weeks though.
Can I have music from the charts?
Unfortunately chart music needs to have copyright licences, which can cost into the thousands for 1 song. The music I use is paid for by me and fully licensed. I can share the site with you to browse or you can ask me to find similar music to an artist and I will try my best!
Can you edit people out or make people look different?
With film, a single second of video is comprised of 24 still images. Although I have been a VFX artist, I must advise against pursuing things like this due to significant time and resources required. One day I'm sure there will be software available which does it fast, like those for photo, we just aren't quite there yet for video.
