Frequently asked questions.
Why hire a videographer?
I love photos, don’t get me wrong, but there is just something about being able to push play and see motion. To hear voices. It is just an entirely different experience. Video does something that you don’t realise until after the day. It captures the entire essence of the day. We have produced an ultimate guide to wedding videography if you are in any doubt.
Can we have RAW footage?
In short yes. We will film so many shots of your loved ones and they might not get used in the final edit. I believe they are more use to you than they are to me.
However, you will not get truly RAW or to put it technically - LOG footage. These files are large and can be difficult to work with. I will compress them and provide them in a format that is easy to view and that will last.
Read my blog to find out why this request can be controversial.
How do payments work?
I take a 25% deposit to secure the date, with the remaining balance due 1 month in advance of the wedding. If you'd like to pay in instalments please let me know and we can discuss options.
What about songs and msuic for our wedding video?
We use a variety of websites to properly license music in order avoid copyright and piracy issues. Wedding video songs should be unique and personal to the couple but, it isn’t always easy to get a mainstream song and the cost for very popular music can be high. If you book with us we will ask about your music taste and try and match to that.
Are you insured?
Yes, we have public liability insurance up to £5 million.
Can you do Wedding Content Creation?
Yes we can! Head over to the packages page to more about this option.
Can you do Wedding Photography?
The short answer is, no. I specialise in video only and have dedicated a large portion or my life to studying and practicing film and video production. There are similarities between the two mediums for sure and I can take a great picture but I pride myself on being a professional videographer who has a mastery of the medium. As such, I don not offer a wddding photography and video package. I have however worked with some great photographers and can make you a recommendation.
