Frequently Asked Questions

Why invest in a wedding video?​​​​​

We know from experience, not getting a video is the number one regret for couples who didn’t get one. There are moments that only video can preserve, moments that photos or content creators simply can’t fully capture. The sound of your family’s laughter and tears, the raw emotion in your partner’s voice during their vows, the joy in a loved one’s speech, it’s all there to relive, exactly as it happened.

Imagine sitting down with your children years from now, showing them the day their parents got married, or revisiting the voices and smiles of loved ones who are no longer with us. Just last year, a bride whose wedding I filmed reached out asking for footage of family members who had recently passed. Being able to gift her those precious memories was a powerful reminder of how much these films mean as time goes on.

While it can feel like a significant investment upfront, choosing a skilled and reliable videographer is something that will keep giving back for decades. Your wedding day happens once, capturing it beautifully means you can return to those moments for the rest of your life.

When planning your wedding, think of it this way: these are the memories you’ll truly treasure forever.

What are the delivery time frames for photo and video?

We deliver sneak peek photos within 3 days, and the full gallery/video within 6-8 weeks after the wedding. During peak wedding season (November - April) this may extend out to 10 weeks at the maximum.

We feel awkward in front of the camera.

It's not natural having a camera in your face, so we have lots of different prompts to help you feel comfortable while having lots of fun! Then we can capture natural and relaxed expressions of you.

What if it's raining on our wedding day?

The forecast for rain on your wedding day may seem terrible, but rain makes for some seriously epic, unique photos!! We have clear umbrellas that we bring along for bridal portraits. Rain doesn't faze us for a second and we will make sure you still get dreamy, incredible photos!

We love to travel for weddings! Please enquire for travel rates outside of Christchurch.
