What areas do you cover?

I'm based in the beautiful city of Bath and primarily cover the south and west of England, but I travel across the UK and even offer destination weddings too. For locations over two hours away, there may be an additional travel charge to cover expenses.

Do you use a drone?

Aerial videography can be a small but powerful addition to your wedding film. As a qualified commercial drone pilot, I include safe, legal aerial content in all packages. Usage depends on geographical location, venue permission and weather conditions. Contact me to see if drone videography could be possible at your wedding.

Do I have to wear a microphone?

Great quality audio is vital in video, usually a lapel microphone can be attached to a groom and / or celebrant during the ceremony and equally for the speeches to capture crisp sound. If there's a professional audio set up, I can often plug a recorder into the sound desk when available.

Can I choose the music in my film?

Generally I choose all tracks used in the production as I feel the best results occur when I'm able to match the music myself based on the footage I have and my own creative vision. If couples would like to help pick music, I just ask that they contact me soon after the wedding before editing commences. All music is licensed.

Do you supply raw footage?

I present you with just the finished, edited product. The reason being that each wedding uses around 500 to 700GB of memory which is difficult to supply and requires a fairly powerful computer to edit. Sometimes I’m running around from place to place filming the floor, or I film something over and over to get it just right, or I could unintentionally capture unflattering shots of guests that must never see the light of day. You don’t want to see these things!

Do I need to ask permission to have my wedding filmed?

If you’re getting married in a religious setting, it’s important to alert the relevant persons that you intend to have the ceremony filmed. Some churches may charge an additional fee for a videographer or ask to see proof of an MPCS-PPL license. They might also place restrictions on camera positioning which may effect the final production. I always make sure to introduce myself before the service and make it known that I intend to film discreetly throughout. For civil ceremonies and receptions, some venues may ask for proof of public liability insurance which I can provide on request.

Do you have a set limit on hours?

I don’t have a set limit on hours, but typically I’ll arrive around three hours before your ceremony to capture those essential getting ready moments, and stay for up to an hour after the first dance to catch the fun as everyone lets loose! We’ll discuss and confirm the exact timings and coverage duration before your wedding day, so everything is tailored to your needs and all your key moments are captured.

What’s the payment schedule?

Once you've decided to book me for your wedding, a contract is sent to you online which is signed and submitted with a £400 booking fee to secure the date. Payment can be made by debit, credit card or bank transfer with the remaining balance payable four weeks before the wedding.
