Why You Should Add a Wedding Film to Your Big Day

Wedding films offer an immersive, carefully crafted motion picture of your special day that can be watched and cherished for years to come.

Our wedding films are all about capturing the experience of the day and turning it into a stunning highlight film that combines music, professional camera work and editing to create a cinematic story that celebrates your love for one another.

Wedding videos have come a long way over the years

Gone are the days of awkward, hours-long, unedited documentaries that will bore the pants of friends and family (thank goodness).

One of the most significant advantages of adding a wedding film is the ability to share and relive the experience with friends and family. Especially for elopements and smaller weddings, a film allows those who aren’t attending in-person to share the experience in a way that really showcases the beauty and emotion of the day.

Something that is exclusive to a wedding film is the recording of your ceremony/vows and speeches, including the audio. This is something that photos simply can’t capture and if you want to listen back to this audio for years to come then there is only one way to do that. Capture it in a wedding film!

Another big difference when including a video in your booking is that you get to choose the music that goes with your wedding film. This gives things a whole new level of customisation and emotion, making your wedding film even more personal and relevant to your love story.

What exactly is included in a Wedding Film Package?

When you book a wedding film package, you’ll receive all the same high level of customer service and support as when you book a photography package, plus…

  • Video coverage with two cameras for the whole time you book
  • A cinematic wedding film that can be watched online as well as downloaded
  • Audio recording of your vows
  • Audio recording of speeches

Which Video Package is right for us?

Choosing a package for an Elopement comes in two flavours. 3-hour or 4-hour. If you’re on a budget or don’t need us to capture video of “getting ready” (hair and make-up, hotel room with flowers etc and first look), before the ceremony, then the 3-hour is perfect.

If you want to capture everything from getting ready to a second location after your ceremony then the 4-hour is essential and makes for a wedding film with a distinct beginning, middle and end.

When it comes to booking a video for a traditional wedding day (with a venue and guests), it’s fairly simple, choose a package that covers as much of the day as you want. If you’re not sure whether to include coverage of the entire day or just a portion of it, you can speak with Thomas directly and discuss what you’d like to include in your final wedding film.

 

Do you live stream weddings?

Yes, we offer live streaming for both traditional wedding ceremonies and elopement ceremonies. If you’re interested in live streaming your wedding for loved ones who can’t be there in person then get in touch and we’ll tell you all about it.

 

Can we add extra time if we are wanting just one extra hour?

Yes, of course. If your elopement has multiple helicopter locations or you have something planned that will take a little longer than 4-hours we’re more than happy to add additional coverage.

For traditional full-day weddings, you can add an extra 1-hour to any package but it does work out more cost-effective to simply upgrade to the next package and capture even more of your special day 🙂
