FAQ’s
Q: What kind of films will I receive?
A: We have two styles of films that have proven the most popular with our clients and upon booking you will be able to request which film styles suit you best;
Short Story – You’ve most likely watched one of our Short Stories on our ‘Films’ page, they are 3-6 minute highlights films and are a gorgeous summary of your day. We normally upload these to Vimeo.com for you to easily share with friends and family via social media.
Feature Film – A beautifully crafted selection of the very best moments from your day. Running for approximately 20 minutes, it includes hand picked highlights from your ceremony and speeches, ensuring you can re-live those extra special moments.
Ceremony or Speeches full edit – A little raw-er than the polished films above. We of course trim out a few bits of ‘faff’ and dead air but you get to see the whole thing as if you were right back there.
Q: DO you offer photography?
Yup! My husband is a pretty amazing photographer, and I think he’s a bit of alright :) So while I don’t do the photography myself I obviously highly recommend him to anyone who’s still looking. We work great together and most people seem to love that we can get all their wedding coverage sorted as a husband & wife team. Theres a link to some photo info in the tabs above, or you can go see his full site here: Luke John Photography
Q: What can we expect from you on the day?
A: You can think of us like a second photographer, we will be side by side with the photographer all day recording all the little details and events that happen.
Generally our style is ‘documentary’ which means we take a backseat and film your day as spectators taking note of all the ‘happenings’ and ‘goings on’.
Q: Do we need to organise a meeting with you?
A: We absolutely love to meet all our booked couples and enquiring couples. Meetings aren’t 100% necessary but if it helps you determine if we are the right fit then we are all in. We live near McLaren Vale and schedule all our meetings nearby due to the high volume of meeting requests we receive. You are of course welcome in our home for a coffee, wine or preferred bevy. We are absolutely open to having a zoom chat or phone call for those unable to travel this way.
Q: When can I expect delivery of my films?
A: Short Stories are typically available for viewing within 12-16 weeks and Feature Films within 6 months. This may be shorter or longer depending on our workload and time of year.
We are a boutique editing service and our workload can play a part in how long it takes to finalise your films.
Q: What can I expect to pay for my films?
A: Pricing starts at $5900
Get in touch with us via the “Contact” page and we can send you a whole heap of info about what’s on offer.
Q: How do you choose the music for our films?
A: We make all your music selections to suit the vibe and feel of your day, your personalities and of course your footage. This thing has to flow and vibe at the right times to make sure it’s the best freaking thing you’ve ever seen. We love getting some music influence from you to feel out your music taste but we take it from there.
We source all our music from licensing sites, you know, because…laws & copyright. It’s very possible you won’t have heard of the artist or song before, but if you love the soundtracks we use on all our other films then you’ll see there are some pretty kick arse artists out there.
Q: Can I purchase RAW (unedited) footage?
A: Unfortunately, the cutting room floor just isn’t where the magic happens. Raw (unedited) footage is not available for purchase. This is relatively standard practise throughout the industry and allows us to preserve our creativity and professionalism.
Q: How about Drone, do you have one?
A: Ok, so drones are kinda ‘in’ right now. Yes, we have one, and we will likely fly it (weather, time and laws permitting) but please remember that your wedding film isn’t a travel ad, we use this footage to story-tell and if it adds value to the vibe and feel of your film then we are all in.
Q: Do you pencil in dates?
A: Not to brag, but we get A TONNE of enquires, and often for the same date, dates are only confirmed/reserved on payment of an initial booking fee (deducted from your total payment). We normally start taking bookings for popular dates 18months in advance, but it’s well worth checking in, even if your date is a little closer.
