I have a relaxed approach to filming Weddings
My style is editorial, emotive storytelling
Capturing every moment authentically
Guided rather than posed moments
~
So, what do I offer?
The most important part of your Wedding film collection is your Wedding Story Film.
On the day I will capture everything needed to create your Wedding film
All day coverage to capture all those important moments
~
Of course every wedding day is different and so I won't edit a film to a specific length, rest assured that your film will match you and it will be a personal story of your day which you can relive forever.
I film every Wedding in full no matter which Film Collection you decide upon
That way you can upgrade and customise your collection at a later date if you wish
Aerial drone footage can be included in all the Film Collections but is dependant upon the Weather and permissions.

Drone
I am a CAA Approved Commercial drone pilot. I can offer you aerial videography as an added extra to your Wedding Film. I am Insured and have the latest 4K capable equipment.
Additional Camera Operator
Having two Videographers will almost double the footage giving alternative angles and views and allows us to be more creative and to be in more than one place at a time, it allows us to capture a range of reactions that may otherwise have been missed
Engagement Shoot
Engagement shoots are a great way to get to know you before your Wedding day and it will help you to feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera. Typically taking around 2 hours, you will receive a set of photographs and a short video.
Extra days
You might be hosting your Wedding over a number of days with several events that you would like to include. We are happy to discuss filming these additional days with you.
Can we get the RAW footage
This is a very common question amongst brides and grooms these days, especially now that computers and technology have advanced to the point where cutting together home movies in iMovie is a relative breeze. One could request raw footage of their wedding for a multitude of reasons, but few understand exactly what raw footage actually is. Most of the time it’s such a hassle, it never even ends up being seen.
Storage Space
The first caveat has to do with the storage space that the raw footage takes up. For us, an average wedding clocks in somewhere between 300 to 500GB. For most home computers and laptops, this is too large to save on your computer among all your other applications, music, and photos we save, so it becomes necessary to purchase an external hard drive to store the files.
Hundreds of Files
Raw footage is not easy to watch. It’s not something that can be burned to a DVD and watched on your television. Nowadays all videographers shoot on digital media, which means every time we start and stop recording, a new video file is created. Now imagine how many times we do this throughout the entire 10-12 hour wedding day, not to mention that most of us are using 2-3 cameras for each wedding! What you end up with is hundreds of 10-60 second clips which we must then sort, color correct imperfections, and then ultimately piece together to create a story. Who has the time to sift through and double-click, watch for a few seconds, close, double-click, watch, close, hundreds of times?
Our Solution
We do still offer raw footage for a small cost for those who really want it, £300 on a hard drive provided by us or £250 on a hard drive provided by you, however we do provide something a step above. Our Documentary Edits run anywhere from 1-2 hours in length, and are an easy way to watch all of the raw footage from the day without the hassle of scrub through video clips all night. This extra content is ready-to-watch, and can be included with every one of our wedding videography packages for an extra £400
