I know how challenging it is finding, choosing, and finally, entrusting someone to capture all the epic moments of your special day. Rather than knowing how I spend my spare time or where I love to go hiking (lol), you probably have more pressing questions, such as …
Wouldn’t it be great if you had a trusted family friend or Uncle and Aunty that had a wedding videography and photography business to come and do it for you?
Over the recent few years I’ve realised, we are just like those relatives that come to all the weddings (and we’ve been to a few over the years!), the ones with the grunty cameras (not just an iPhone), with all the bells and whistles. That also, just happen to shoot and edit the most phenomenal wedding films and photos.
Our shooting style is candid documentary – authentic storytelling with beautiful cinematic moments. If asked, we might make some helpful suggestions if we have experienced something similar, but we’ll never insist that you change the order or running of your day to suit us. It’s your day 🙂
Our unique editing style is chronological order! Lol! You might have noticed that some wedding videos jump all around through time and space. Although it’s super easy to edit this way, it can make the story of the day confusing and difficult to follow. So we keep things in the natural order that it unfolded and use the best and beautiful bits of your day to create a superb highlights film that makes you feel like you’re right there.
Other companies tend to have a “signature style” for grading their footage and images, but we’d rather take our cues from you. If your wedding day theming is bright and vibrantly coloured, so is your wedding film! If it’s cool and crisp winter vibes, then we keep that feeling in your film! If it’s a warm and hazy summer day, then that’s what you get.
On your wedding night, even though the party is just getting started once we put the cameras down, we won’t stay and party with you. We are still technically on the clock. Because when we get back to base, we back-up everything. We don’t do it the next day or before the next shoot, it’s done on the very same night. We do this because it’s just safer that way. We never have to wonder. Did we back up our memory cards? Is it okay to format my cards? You have the peace of mind knowing that your footage is in safe hands.
We’ve been joyously married for over 20 years (yikes!) so you know we take the institution of marriage seriously. This isn’t just a hobby or a weekend job. It’s an absolute passion. We both work in this business full-time, we don’t have other jobs that we do during the week – Moving Films and the couples we serve is our absolute passion! And even though we’re a small team, we’ve got a network of wildly talented friends we can tap into if we need to.
Plus, because we’ve been doing this so long we’ve seen almost everything a wedding day can throw at you! We are a treasure trove of valuable information about all things weddings! Feel free to pick our brains! X
