If you have any questions we haven’t covered then please call us on 01934 822455. These are the most common questions we get asked.
Do you film using a high quality camera format?
Yes, we use professional broadcast digital equipment and also High Definition format.
Will I have my wedding put to DVD format?
Yes we have been authoring weddings on DVD since 2001, as a point of interest we can transfer and encode any footage to DVD.
You have to make sure that your machine can play back DVD-R Video disc’s, we can supply a test disc for you so you can check your machine. Most machines produced since 1999-2000 can play these types of discs back. We have had clients reporting drop out but when tried oin another machine our films are playing perfectly, some machines are very fussy.
What background music accompanies my wedding film?
We use music that you have chosen and supplied. We can select appropriate music for you if you require. We assume you have cleared any copyright or we can arrange a blanket fee coverage. POA
How do I provide the music?
We would prefer the original CD’s or MP3 format or you can burn your own CD with all the tracks you would like us to use.
We have a huge library of music copyright free which is increasing weekly. We can also source hard to find music for you. we ask you to list the tracks on the booking form and on the discs and also ask you to write your names on the CD.
Will you be unobtrusive when filming?
We have over 25 years of wedding filming experience and it is essential to be unobtrusive, for the obvious reasons, it is also important that we capture key moments naturally as they happen, without it looking staged or performed in any way, this is something we pride ourselves in and has lead to excellent relationships with every other service provider on the day such as vicars, photographers, etc;
Which areas do you cover?
We can and do travel to any part of the UK or anywhere abroad, preferably the Maldives.
We are based in the South West of England. We charge mileage for travel at the AA suggested rate.
What parts of the day do you cover?
We offer a bespoke service to all our clients, you must remember we are service providers and if you want us to film from waking to sleeping then we will. For instance if the Groom and his entourage are having a round of golf in the morning we can film and edit a sequence in an interesting way all set to music you have chosen of course, or you might need us until you leave the evening reception. Anything is possible, after all it is your day.
How many other weddings will you do on my day?
When you book us, that day is yours 100%. One operator per wedding per day, we do not let our operators do two in one day.
Can I change the options after I have booked and placed a deposit?
Yes, you can change the options, realistically up to two weeks before the wedding day.
How quickly can we pick the video up after the day?
We get to work on the video the following Monday and usually most couples pick up the finished version after they come back from their honeymoon. But through the very busy summer months we may not be able to have it ready for return of your honeymoon, as we do not rush it.
How many cameras do you use?
We employ techniques to give the impression we have used multiple cameras when filming, but if you need more than one camera on the day, we can organise this for you. An extra operator or a static camera can be used.
What about price changes if we book more than a season in advance?
When booking us, we stress that you are not booking the price given via literature and web prices at that point unlerss of course you are getting married in the same season.
Some clients book 2 years in advance to make sure we are available, we cannot say what we will be charging in a year or two's time, saying that we did not have any price increase for three years four years ago, if prices change they change in October of that year. We advise if you are booked with us looking on this website in the year you are booked with us if booking so far in advance. The increase is usually due to new technology, higher operating costs, new options, etc;
Why do I have to feed and water the camera operator?
We require you to offer our operator a hot plate of food and cold drink while the wedding breakfast takes place, as in some cases we can be filming for 8 hours before that happens. So it is in our contract for you to provide this a lot of venues don't even charge for it.
Please do not hesitate to contact us regarding your wedding day we will endeavour to answer all your questions.
