Frequently Asked Questions
Why should we get a Invest in a wedding video?
We know for a fact its always the absolute biggest regret of anyone who didn't get one done....
There are moments that only a 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.
You might not watch your wedding film 100 times, but it will always be there when you need it most. Imagine sitting down with your children years later, showing them the day their parents got married, or revisiting memories of loved ones who are no longer with us.
Last year, we heard from a bride whose wedding I filmed years ago. They asked for footage of family members who recently passed, and being able to provide them with those precious moments is a reminder of how meaningful these films become over time.
While it might feel like a significant upfront expense, choosing a skilled and reliable videographer (or photographer, celebrant, caterer, etc.) is an investment that keeps giving. A professional vendor will ensure your memories are preserved beautifully and seamlessly, saving you from regret later.
When planning your wedding, think of it this way: these are the memories you’ll treasure forever. Don’t let a tighter budget lead to sacrifices that might cost you those irreplaceable moments.
What are the delivery time frames for photo and video?
We deliver sneak peek photos within 1 week, 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!

Who selects the music for the film?
We hand-pick the music for your film and please allow us to do this for you. We carefully take into consideration song choice and arrange every unfolding scene in harmony with the highs and lows of the music. Picking the right music is fundamental for us to tell your love story in the most majestical way.
Can we use our own music for the video?
We are open to suggestions of certain styles/types of music you like, but we cannot use any copyrighted music, as we have to licence each song we use (and Ed Sherran is very expensive to copyright!)
