It isn't possible for me to hand over the unedited footage. That's because my weddings are about 500gb of unsorted clips,  with no colour grading (they'll look grey and washed out). Chances are your computer won't be able to even open the files! However, my "heirloom documentary film" is a great way to see all the usable clips from the day. 

Can we get the raw footage?

I film weddings in Northern Ireland (or within 2 hours of Belfast) free of charge. I am more than happy to travel further than this in Ireland, though this will incur an extra charge of £100-200 to cover overnight accommodation - I'd rather avoid long drives late at night after a 12-14 hour work day! I can even travel further abroad if you so wish! Weddings outside Ireland will be priced individually.

What areas do you cover?

You'll receive your sneak peek within 2 weeks of your wedding, and the final full gallery within 16 weeks. It takes time due to the complicated editing involved to make it the high quality product you're expecting. 

How long does it take for us to get our final films back?

Not usually, no. I want to make sure that the songs I use for your film are available to be licensed for weddings, so we won't run into copyright issues. I use special music from dedicated websites that I select to match the vibe of the day. I tend to pick music that is more subtle and draws attention back to the action of the film. 

Can we choose our own music for the highlight films?

While I don't personally do photography, I can arrange to bring a photographer with me on the wedding day if you're interested in securing a combo booking. 

Do you do photography, or combo bookings?

Thankfully in my 10 years of business I've never had to call in sick to a wedding! However, if for any reason I'm no longer able to make it to your day, I will make sure to send someone in to cover the shoot for me, and then I will still do the editing to ensure you still get a film in my style. 

What happens if you're sick or can't make it to the wedding?

Get in touch via my contact page and I'll confirm if your date is available. If you decide to go ahead, I take a £350 retainer to secure the date, and there's a quick questionnaire to fill out and a contract to sign. This is all done via an online portal, very quick and easy!

What's the process for booking?

On a typical wedding day I will start around 2-3 hours before you plan to leave for the ceremony. Then I'll be with you through to the first few dances of the evening reception. If I have second shooter with me, they typically stay until you have your dinner. 

How long do you typically stay on a wedding day?

In a time where you've so many options for capturing the memories of your day, it can be a bit overwhelming to know what to get. As videographers, a big part of what we do is capturing just visuals but also high quality audio of your day. If you want to be able to not just watch but hear your wedding again - a wedding video is for you! We're also there to capture those candid moments you might miss on the day. 

Why should we book a wedding video?
