We recommend booking your wedding videographer 9-12 months in advance, especially for summer weddings (May-September) in Dorset and Hampshire. Popular Saturday dates during peak season are typically the first to be reserved. For winter weddings or weekday celebrations, 6-9 months is usually sufficient, though earlier booking always gives you better choice and peace of mind.
Simply contact us with your wedding date and venue location. We'll confirm our availability within 24 hours and arrange a convenient time to discuss your wedding plans in detail.
Absolutely! We film weddings seven days a week across Dorset, Hampshire, and South England. Weekday weddings often have a more relaxed, intimate atmosphere which translates beautifully to film.
We require a non-refundable booking deposit to secure your date, with the balance due 4-8 weeks before your wedding day. We'll provide full payment details and terms when we discuss your booking.
We offer customised packages to suit different wedding styles and budgets, from intimate ceremonies to full-day celebrations. Our packages typically include:
All our packages include professional equipment, expert filming, cinematic editing, and digital delivery. Specific inclusions vary by package but typically feature:
Our packages typically start from £1,650 depending on coverage hours, deliverables, and specific requirements. We offer various options to suit different budgets whilst maintaining our high-quality, candid filming approach. Get in touch for a personalised quote based on your wedding plans.
Where appropriate and conditions allow, we can include aerial footage to showcase your venue's beauty. However, drone work is dependent on:
We always prioritise capturing your authentic story over aerial shots - beautiful videography comes from genuine moments, not just impressive angles.
Yes! We understand every wedding is unique. We're happy to tailor our services to your specific needs, whether that's extended coverage hours, additional locations, or specific requests. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
We specialise in natural, candid wedding videography. Our approach is discreet and unobtrusive - we document your day as it naturally unfolds rather than staging or directing scenes. This allows you to be completely present with your loved ones whilst we capture the authentic emotions, spontaneous laughter, and genuine moments that make your wedding uniquely yours.
The result is a cinematic film that truly feels like your wedding day, not a performance.
As a married couple ourselves, we bring unique advantages:
Not at all! Our discreet approach means you'll barely notice we're there. We blend into your celebration, capturing moments naturally without interrupting conversations, blocking guests' views, or disrupting the flow of your day. Many couples tell us afterwards that they forgot we were filming - which is exactly what we aim for!
Absolutely! We have excellent working relationships with photographers across Dorset and Hampshire. We coordinate seamlessly to ensure you get beautiful photos and videos without either team getting in the other's way. If you haven't booked your photographer yet, we're happy to recommend trusted professionals we've worked with before.
We're based in Bournemouth and proudly cover all of Dorset, Hampshire, and South England. This includes:
Dorset: Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Wimborne, Dorchester, Weymouth, Swanage, Lyme Regis, Sherborne, and surrounding areas
Hampshire: Winchester, Southampton, Portsmouth, New Forest, Basingstoke, Petersfield, Fareham, and surrounding areas
We also travel throughout South England and are available for destination weddings across the UK and abroad.
Travel within Dorset and Hampshire is included in our packages. For venues further afield, we'll discuss any travel costs during your consultation - we always aim to keep these fair and transparent.
Yes! We love filming destination weddings, both across the UK and internationally. Whether you're planning a Scottish castle celebration or an Italian villa wedding, we'd be delighted to capture your special day. Get in touch to discuss your destination wedding plans.
With over a decade of experience filming across Dorset and Hampshire, we've worked at many popular venues. Even if we haven't filmed at your specific venue, we're experienced at adapting to new locations and understanding each venue's unique features and restrictions.
For local Dorset and Hampshire venues, we're familiar with most locations and their characteristics. For venues we haven't filmed at before, we're happy to visit beforehand if needed, or we can arrive early on your wedding day to scout the location and plan our coverage.
Some historic venues, National Trust properties, and churches have specific filming guidelines. We're experienced at working within these restrictions whilst still capturing beautiful footage. We'll liaise with your venue coordinator to ensure we comply with all requirements.
Yes! We regularly film outdoor ceremonies and celebrations across Dorset and Hampshire, from coastal clifftop ceremonies to countryside garden weddings. We're prepared for unpredictable British weather and always have contingency plans for rain, wind, or sudden weather changes.
We typically deliver your finished films within 8-12 weeks of your wedding day. This allows time for careful editing, colour grading, audio balancing, and music selection to create a film you'll treasure forever. For an additional fee, we can offer expedited editing if you need your film sooner.
Your films are delivered via a private online link where you can stream, download, and share your videos with family and friends. The gallery remains accessible for at least 12 months, and we also provide a USB gift box for you to keep forever.
We include one round of minor revisions to ensure you're completely happy with your film. This might include adjusting music choices, removing specific moments, or tweaking the pacing. Major re-edits may incur additional fees, which we'll discuss transparently.
Our packages focus on delivering beautifully edited, cinematic films rather than raw footage. However, if you specifically require unedited footage, we can discuss this as an additional service. The raw files are very large and require specialist software to view, so we generally recommend trusting our editing expertise!
Absolutely! You're welcome to share your wedding film on social media, with family and friends, or anywhere you'd like. We only ask that you keep our credit intact and tag us if possible - we love seeing couples enjoy their films!
This depends on your chosen package and wedding timeline. We typically arrive 30-60 minutes before we start filming to set up equipment, scout locations, and coordinate with your venue and photographer. We'll confirm exact timings when we discuss your wedding day schedule.
No! Our natural, candid approach means we capture your day as it unfolds. We don't direct or stage scenes - you simply enjoy your celebration whilst we document it authentically. For couple portraits, we might suggest beautiful locations at your venue, but even these are filmed in a relaxed, natural way rather than with formal posing.
We recommend letting guests know you've hired professional videographers so they feel comfortable being on camera. If you're planning an "unplugged ceremony" (asking guests not to use phones/cameras during key moments), please communicate this clearly - it ensures we can capture unobstructed footage of your ceremony.
Many couples feel this way! Our discreet filming style and years of experience help even the most camera-shy couples relax. We don't draw attention to ourselves, and you'll quickly forget we're there as you get caught up in your celebration. The result is natural footage where you look relaxed and genuinely yourselves.
If your wedding includes a sit-down meal during our coverage hours, we appreciate being provided with a vendor meal. This is standard practice and doesn't need to be the same as guest meals - something simple is perfectly fine! We'll coordinate with your venue or caterer on the day.
We use professional-grade Sony A7 cameras, GMaster lenses, stabilisation equipment, and audio recording systems specifically chosen for wedding videography. All our equipment is regularly maintained, and we carry full backup systems to ensure your day is captured perfectly, whatever happens.
We use wireless lapel microphones and directional microphones to ensure crystal-clear audio of your vows, readings, and speeches. For outdoor ceremonies or windy coastal venues, we use professional wind protection systems. We always position multiple microphones to guarantee perfect audio quality.
We carry comprehensive backup equipment, including spare cameras, audio recorders, and batteries. We're also fully insured. In over a decade of filming weddings, we've never had to cancel due to equipment failure - but we're always prepared just in case.
Absolutely! We love filming weddings that blend different cultures and traditions. If your wedding includes specific cultural ceremonies or customs, let us know so we can research and understand the significance of different moments, ensuring we capture everything appropriately and respectfully.
We celebrate love in all its forms and have filmed many same-sex weddings across Dorset and Hampshire. Your love story is just as beautiful and deserves to be captured with the same care, respect, and artistry as any other wedding.
Yes! We love the authentic emotion of intimate celebrations. Whether you're eloping to a coastal location, having a small ceremony with just close family, or planning a micro-wedding, we can create a tailored package to suit your celebration style and budget.
We're experienced at adapting our approach to ensure everyone's comfort and dignity. If you or family members have accessibility needs, mobility considerations, or other requirements, please let us know so we can plan appropriately and ensure everyone is included in your film.
Yes, we carry comprehensive professional indemnity and public liability insurance for all our work. We can provide proof of insurance to your venue if required.
Yes, we provide a clear contract outlining our services, what's included, payment terms, and responsibilities on both sides. This protects everyone and ensures we're all clear on expectations.
We understand that circumstances change. Our contract includes clear terms about cancellations and rescheduling. If you need to postpone your wedding (as many couples did during recent years), we'll work with you to find a solution. Get in touch to discuss your specific situation.
If you need to change your wedding date, we'll do our best to accommodate your new date, subject to availability. Any deposits or payments made are typically transferable to your new date, though terms vary depending on timing and circumstances.
We're committed to being there for your wedding, but we understand unforeseen emergencies can happen. We have a network of trusted fellow videographers who could step in if absolutely necessary. In over a decade of filming, we've never had to cancel - but we always have contingency plans.
