We video record in '4K' [U.H.D.] and Dolby Atmos surround sound.
We produce both Feature Length and Highlight edits. We produce two versions of each of these: one for Social Media use and one for a modern TV.
The following comments relate to a typical wedding: if yours is different or unusual, don't hesitate: we enjoy working in unusual circumstances.
The Ceremony
We arrive early and record the decor inside and out. We set up between two and four camera positions and record the whole of the Ceremony. More cameras means variety of shots and audience reaction. We record your exit from the Ceremony, then cameos of guests and some of the photography.
The Wedding Breakfast
We record the entrance of guests to the Wedding Breakfast plus any special decorations such as Post Boxes and mini events and then the arrival of the couple.
We videorecord the Speeches using high quality audio.
The Evening
We record the Cutting of the Cake and the First Dance and often end with the guests dancing. We leave by 20:30 unless you have asked us to stay later for some reason such as fireworks or an extra band. We charge extra if we have to stay beyond 20:30.
We record other events which are specific to your day,- no two weddings are the same.
The Editing
Now our work begins in earnest: we move your media from our cameras to store, in duplicate for security. We catalogue the files then ingest them to our editor. We create a rough edit of the feature-length movie in Ultra High Definition and Surround Sound.
We assemble the movie then fine edit it and then send you download links for these. We also send a YouTube link so that you can quickly share the Highlight version with your friends and relatives.
Do the cameras get in the way?
Check out our customer feedback: most customers just don't notice us!
Do you do still photography as well?
Yes we do: we provide separate operators for video and photography. You can then take £100 off the combined bill. See here for details.
Do you do Consultation Meetings?
Absolutely: we offer Zoom meetings during which we can answer any questions you may have by showing you examples of our work.
If your arrangements are close to the traditional pattern you may feel that it isn't necessary.
My wedding isn't conventional: is that a problem?
We love non-traditional or unusual events! Tell us about yours.
If it's really very different, for example if it takes place over more than one day or in unusual locations, you should ask us for a custom quotation.

How long will my video be?
The length of our Feature Length videos depends on your day but can vary between 40 and 90 minutes. The Highlight video will vary between 4 and 9 minutes.
Can I have the footage you don’t include?
We retain editorial control over the selection of material in order to ensure that the material we distribute meets our quality standards. In all likelihood you wouldn’t want the footage we don’t include anyway!
How long will it take to produce my video?
We reserve six weeks for this but in practice it is rarely more than one or two. Summer weddings take longer than those at other times of year.

Are you D.B.S. checked?
All of our operators are D.B.S. checked: ask us for details.
Why don't I just get a friend to video my wedding?
S/he might want to enjoy the celebration and friends can get distracted! If you're really keen to have friends record your day we have a service aimed at people who want to video record the day themselves. There's more here
