• Why have your wedding day filmed?

  Your wedding day is an unrepeatable once-in-a-lifetime, event. So why burden the responsibility of making a priceless recording of the biggest day in your lives on some poor relative with his un-tested new camcorder? Chances are you’ll end up with a three hour tape of muffled audio and grainy visuals with the date and time stamped in the corner. Why take the risk? We use broadcast quality equipment, and our crews have the technical expertise to get the best results. Our post production is done using the latest AVID editing technology, that allows us to grade the pictures, and mix the sound to the highest standards, and your finished film is presented on a DVD or digitally that you and your family will cherish forever.

• How long will the wedding film be?

  Generally the duration of your wedding film depends on the length of the Ceremony and the Speeches. The package chosen is also a factor, since a package with 2-3 cameras will have more footage available to use, and can include preparations from the Bride and/or Groom. Having live entertainment and other wedding based entertainment will also extend the length of your film. The more that happens on the day, the longer the film. As a guide our films last anywhere from 7mins – 2hrs.

• Do you require a deposit/booking fee?

  We require a non refundable booking fee in order to secure the wedding date with us. The final balance is due no later than 2 weeks before the filming date.

• How do you film the wedding?

  We’ll liaise with you before the wedding date to ensue we have all the necessary information for the big day. This is usually done through email and phone calls for convenience, however we are more than happy to meet prior and even attend a rehearsal if necessary. It’s very important to us on the day to blend in with your guests, in order to minimise any attention to the camera(s), which is why our crew will always be dressed discreetly. Our style is to capture the story of the day as it happens live, through the use of candid and general atmospheric shots. There are times when romantic shots will be filmed, which often coincides with the photographer’s and last little more than 10mins. Speeches, cake cutting and the first dance are filmed live and our crew know the best techniques to best cover the action. Ultimately we want you to feel completely at ease on your special day and enjoy it so we’ll do our utmost on our part to make sure that happens.

• We’ve booked a photographer, won’t that be enough?

  Well not necessarily. There are many photographers of quality out there and the formal and candid shots in the album more often than not look fantastic. However a picture is simply that. Video captures the wedding in a different way with movement, sounds and personality, truly capturing the atmosphere of the big day, especially the Ceremony and the Speeches. Sharing videos online is now as easy as pictures so why not have both? Being able to sit down in years time with children and watch the wedding day, sharing and reliving those emotions again as if they were yesterday – Priceless! It’s also a perfect way of immortalizing family and friends on film forever, a visual memory. Both video and photo have their own merits, and where possible having both at the wedding should be sought.

• What area do you cover?

  We’re based in Blackpool, but we will travel up to 60 miles around Lancashire at no additional cost to you to film your wedding. Effectively that includes Preston, Cheshire, Lancaster, Southport, Bolton, Manchester, Blackburn, Burnley, and as far north as Carnforth and the Lake District!
