+ One or Two Videographers

You can decide to have one videographer or two but regardless of the package, you always get me at your wedding. When working alone I use one or two additional, unmanned cameras which are used to capture alternative angles during the main events of the day. A second videographer will give you more coverage of the day, ideal for big weddings.

+ CHOOSE THE MOMENTS YOU WANT CAPTURED

You decide how long you need me on your wedding day.

+ JUST HIGHLIGHTS

Receive just the Highlights of your day. This option is great if you don't need my Full Feature or you want to make your own with my unedited video files from the day. With this option your Highlights video will be between 8-12 minutes in length.

+ JUST Full Feature

Receive just the Full Feature of your day. This option is great if you don't want my Highlights video.

+ SELF EDIT

If you'd like to put your own personal touches to your wedding video and edit it yourself using either professional software or more mainstream programs such as iMovie and Windows Movie Maker, all you'll need is an external hard drive so I can give you the entire library of raw footage from the day.

Some couples like this option simply because they receive everything that was professionally captured from their special day. A collection of video clips that can be dipped into at any time.

Please contact me for specific details on what you'll receive. It's helpful to know whether you plan to edit the video files or just keep them as a collection.

+ VINTAGE SUPER 8 CINE FILM

Did you know I can also capture your wedding day on Super 8 cine film? Go to my vintage wedding page here to get some more info, packages and example films. This option isn't in the HD video package and prices list I send in replies to enquiries so be sure to let me know if this is the style you're after. Just so you know, I can create a HD video and Super 8 film combination package.

+ BESPOKE

You might find that after seeing my packages and prices list you don't see an option to suit the record you want of your day. This isn't a problem because I'm more than happy to listen to your plans and create a bespoke package based on your needs.

+ HOW FAR WILL YOU TRAVEL?

I'm happy to travel anywhere in the world! But just so you know, I usually add a travel charge and any other costs involved in getting to your venue if you're over 50 miles away. It's a very reasonable charge and only covers my fuel and time. I'm within a 2 hour drive from many wedding venues based in and around Poole, Southampton, Portsmouth, Hampshire, Devon and Wiltshire.

+ What equipment do you use?

I have three cameras in my kit, suitable for a range of different scanerios, all with 35mm sensors so I can produce life like, cinematic quaility video. For those who need to know details, here's what I use: Sony A7SIII, Sony A7IV and Sony A7III.

For sound I use a sennheiser lapel mic and transmitter (used during the ceremony), and for readings and speeches, Rode Wireless Mic Go II's. I also use a field recorder so I can connect to the line out on sound systems/mixers, allowing me to record speeches where microphones are used. For lighting I use two Aputure spotlights. And my main camera is attached a gimbal most of the day!

+ Do you give discounts?

Sometimes. It depends on a number things. Like the time of year of your wedding, whether it's a weekend or weekday and how many bookings I already have around that time. My busy period is from May to October.

+ What's your booking process like?

First, you let me know where and when your wedding will take place. I'll tell you if I'm free and we'll talk about your options. I'll hold your date whilst you make your decision or until I receive another enquiry for that date at which point I'll be in touch to let you know another couple is interested and give you first refusal.

If you decide to book, I'll give you a booking form which we'll both sign if you're happy with the terms. A £400 deposit is required to secure your booking. A 2nd payment is payable no later than ten days before your wedding date. If you choose an edited packaged a 3rd and final payment is due once all the videos in your package are ready to be delivered.

+ How long do you take to edit the videos?

Editing time is affected by the time of year and your chosen package. My aim is to deliver within 12-16 weeks. Editing is a long process and I'm not interested in rushing, it takes time to build a beautiful video. I don’t outsource any aspect of my video creation, every edit is made by me so please be patient :)
