What happens leading up to the wedding:
You have signed your contract and paid your deposit. For video only packages, there is no engagement session or anything that needs to be done until the month before the wedding. The month before the wedding you will pay your final payment and fill out our wedding day questionnaire with all your finalized details. We are always around for any questions or help you may need.
How we film your wedding:
Unless you have added on full videos to your package, our main package includes a highlight film. This is where we take a bunch of clips of your wedding day and creatively bring them together to create a 7-9 minute highlight film of your day. This will include audio from the day and music.
The music in your video:
Most couples aren’t aware of how music licensing works. Unfortunately, we can’t use popular hits and music in our films because we don’t have a license to use them. Most of these songs are incredibly expensive or not available to be licensed. It is copyrighted music and if used illegally could lead to legal issues and fines. We do pay for music licensing through a licensing platform and are restricted to the options they have available. Within our videos, most of the music is instrumentals, as your vows/words from speeches or ceremony are the main focus when it comes to audio. We can go back and forth until we find the right songs for your video.
The first draft of your video:
Within a couple of weeks, you will receive the first draft of your video. This will be the bones of your video we have come up with and the time for you to provide feedback like removing sections, adding sections, changing music etc. This is NOT the final video, is not to be downloaded or shared. The faster you get back to us with any changes you may have, the quicker we can get to finishing your video for final delivery.
The social media teaser:
The social media teaser is a one-minute highlight video designed to be easily shared with friends and family on social media platforms. This short and sweet video gives you a glimpse of your wedding day while you wait for your full film. This teaser will be posted to our social media unless otherwise specified. On Instagram, you can add popular music IN the app to a video 1 minute or under, so for this, we can select a popular song.
The social media teaser is delivered within just one week of your wedding, making it perfect for sharing the excitement and joy of your wedding day.
Turn around times:
You will receive your social media teaser the week of your wedding. Your full highlight film will be delivered within six weeks of your wedding. You will receive this in two forms: 1) In a digital gallery where you can download for safe keeping 2) On Vimeo, a sharing platform making it easy to share with friends and family
Add on’s:
If you decide you want to add on to your original package, here are some options for this:
- Full recordings & second videographer: While the highlight film beautifully condenses your day into a creative and cinematic story, sometimes you just want to experience the full moments. This is not included in our packages, but something you can add on. You’ll receive full-length recordings of key moments of your wedding day including your ceremony, those heartfelt speeches, special dances, and intimate first looks. This is a great complement to the highlight film and ensures you have a complete keepsake of your wedding day. This needs to be added on in advance of the wedding day. For a highlight film, we do not record video of the entire ceremony/speeches/dances, we instead get clips from different angles to bring together.
- Rehearsal dinner/day before your wedding day coverage
- Engagement session coverage: Have us come to your engagement session and take a fun one minute social media video
