FAQ

Frequently asked questions for wedding videographers

Hiring a Brisbane wedding videographer to capture your special day on video is an important investment. A video can provide a visual record of the ceremony, including the wedding vows, emotional family reactions and speeches. This allows couples to relive the memories years after the wedding day has passed. Couples spend months, even years planning this day and when the time comes, its over in the blink of an eye. We are there to make sure that when the day draws to an end, you have something special to look back at and share for generations to come. The power of wedding videography will take you back to those special moments and relive them over and over.

Why should I have a Brisbane videographer at my wedding?

A highlights film is a cinematic short film of your wedding day. It is a video generally under 10 minutes that showcases the day whilst capturing the atmosphere and emotion. Edited to music and voice overs, with cinematic style editing and colour grading - the highlights reel is a perfect timestone for you to relive the magic from your day for generations to come.

What is a highlights film?

It is important that we keep everyone feeling comfortable on the day. Our style of filming is realistic and natural. We ideally look for candid shots and it's hard to achieve that if the videographer is making everybody nervous. So, our approach is to be minimally intrusive and to capture everything naturally as it unfolds throughout the day.

I want my guests to feel comfortable, so is wedding videography intrusive?

After capturing your wedding day, we aim to have a 1-minute social media teaser within a week. Your wedding video gallery (highlights film, ceremony video and speeches video) will be available to download and share within 12 weeks.

What is the turnaround for my wedding video?

We may ask what kind of feel or atmosphere you want the music to have and you can certainly suggest tracks however we only use songs that we can obtain proper licensing for. For the stand-alone ceremony video, we can use the actual music presented on the day.

Can I choose my own music for my wedding video?

Drone wedding videography is offered in the half and full day options. Jay is a certified and licensed drone operator focused on obtaining the perfect drone shots for your wedding film.

Is wedding drone videography included in my wedding videography package?

Ten Years From Now...

Ten years from now, when you're watching your wedding film, we believe you'll treasure the heartfelt moments, the advice your grandmother whispered in your ear, the tears in your dad's eyes as he prepares to walk you down the aisle, and the quiver in your partner's lip as they see you for the first time - far more than the footage of you putting on your makeup. As dedicated filmmakers specialising in wedding videography in Brisbane and surrounding areas, we focus on capturing the details that truly matter - the ones just outside the spotlight, the ones that tell your unique love story.

Your future self will thank you.
