Frequently Asked Questions

What does a wedding videographer do to prepare for a wedding day?

A wedding videographer starts the day with a thorough equipment check and packing session, reviews the couple’s preferences and schedule, and ensures a contingency plan for unexpected situations.

How does a wedding videographer scout and set up at the venue?

The videographer scouts the venue beforehand to identify the best spots for key moments, notes lighting conditions, and potential obstructions. On the day, they arrive early to set up equipment, liaise with the wedding planner, and test audio levels.

What moments and details does a wedding videographer focus on during the wedding day?

The videographer captures smaller details like the bride’s dress, groom’s attire, floral arrangements, and the venue’s architecture. They focus on the couple’s expressions during the ceremony and guests’ reactions and emotions to add depth to the wedding film.

How does a wedding videographer handle the reception and spontaneous moments?

During the reception, the videographer captures the energy and atmosphere, including the grand entrance, speeches, cake cutting, and dancing. They remain adaptable and responsive to capture candid moments and spontaneous interactions.

What steps does a wedding videographer take after the wedding day?

The videographer ensures all footage is safely stored and backed up, reviews the footage for striking shots, and starts envisioning the final film. They maintain communication with the couple, providing updates on the editing process and discussing any additional requests.

Investment

I film a limited number of weddings each year so I can give each one proper time in planning, filming and the edit.

My collections are set up for larger, family-centred days and full weekend celebrations, where film is a key part of the budget and the experience.
