FAQs
How can you do both?
The flippant answer is – ‘I found a button on my camera that records video: I’d never pressed it before!’
The serious answer is – The cameras and lenses I use are brilliant for filming as well as photographing. As I’m photographing I’m able to shoot 10 second clips alongside my photography. These edited together create the ‘home movie’ style wedding films.
How is a ‘Home Movie’ different from a wedding video?
I think I’m creating something I remember from my childhood. My Dad with his Super 8 camera recording family holidays and parties. Those were highlights – short bursts of film assembled to remind us of the day. When I’ve watched them back they include snatched sound and atmosphere, so I could hear peoples voices again and fleeting glimpses throughout the day that spark memories I already have. That’s what Im looking to create.
It’s not the modern wedding video with smooth panning shots, lapel microphones and long, lingering romantic takes cross fading into each other. That’s a whole different language of film.
Do you film all the ceremony and speeches?
I don’t. I’m purely taking snippets of the day – moments and ‘wild’ sound that is then edited together to make the final film. If you want full video coverage of the wedding I’d always recommend a dedicated videographer (I can help you with that).
What do I get?
My wedding films are typically 6-10 minutes long (often a bit longer) with a mixture of sound clips and music soundtrack. I’ll upload it directly to your photography gallery so it can be viewed in the same way as the photography from the wedding day. The finished film can then be downloaded or viewed directly from your gallery.
You’ll also get a 1 minute ‘Sizzle Reel’ edit for social media – a quick hit of the wedding day for everyone to share!
