A highlight wedding film is a professionally edited film documenting all the highlights and special moments of your wedding day. These are the films shown on the main page of our website!
A wedding trailer is a shorter version of your wedding film that showcases the best moments of your wedding day, making it easy to share with friends and on social media. Many couples choose to share the trailer while reserving the full wedding film for family.
A Full Ceremony Video is a separate, uncut video of your wedding ceremony. This is separate from your Wedding Highlight Film (so yes, if it is included in your package, you will receive more than one film!) The video is edited to have high-quality audio, angle switches, and colouring.
A full speeches video is a separate uncut video of your speeches. This is separate from your Wedding Highlight Film (so yes, if it is included in your package, you will receive more than one film!) The video is edited to have high-quality audio, angle switches, and colouring.
A Guest Interviews Compilation is a compilation of "best wishes" messages from your guests, which we typically film at the reception! We can't guarantee that we get to everyone but it's a lot of fun.

We have several different sources of audio to make sure we always capture the best quality. We connect directly to the sound systems of microphones, soundboards and we have many sources of back-up audio to ensure we don’t miss anything! We also attach lav mics to the collar of clothing. These will be worn discreetly as possible during the ceremony and speeches.
No, it is absolutely optional! We understand that mics might get in the way of styling and personal comfort, and we will always ask you beforehand.
We have many backup videographers and talented connections within the wedding community. Don’t worry!

Yes, of course! We have a pre-production consultation where you go over everything you want in the final edit, including the music.
