What are the benefits of hiring an experienced and creative filmmaker?

A wedding film is a living memory, allowing you to relive one of the happiest days of your lives for years to come. Hiring an experienced wedding videographer ensures your special moments are captured with care, professionalism, and creativity, and edited to the highest standards.

How long will you spend on location?

The time I spend filming depends on the length of your ceremony, speeches, and any other planned activities. Typically, I’m on location for around 8 to 10 hours, ensuring I capture the highlights and candid moments throughout your day.

What happens between the filmmaker and photographer on the day?

Before the day begins, I always have a friendly chat with your photographer to coordinate our approach. While we both aim to capture your special moments, our roles are different, and I ensure we work together seamlessly.

During the formal group shots, which usually involve 10 to 30 setups, I’ll capture a few moments to include in your film but won’t linger on static poses, as these don’t translate well to video. Instead, I focus on candid moments and natural interactions around the venue to create a dynamic, emotional wedding film.

Can I use mainstream music in my wedding film?

Unfortunately, no. Due to UK licensing laws, I can only include music from licensed sources that I subscribe to. Rest assured, I have access to a vast library of beautiful, high-quality music to match the tone and emotions of your wedding day.

How long does it take to get the final package? What does the process involve?

Our turnaround time varies depending on the time of year but is typically between 8 and 16 weeks. Each film is painstakingly edited with:

• Sound adjustments to ensure perfect audio clarity.

• Colour grading to enhance the mood and aesthetics of the footage.

• Exporting to prepare your film for streaming or download.

Once the feature edit is complete, you’ll receive an online proof via a secure link. You can review it, approve it, or request minor changes through our easy-to-use approval form. I take great pride in delivering a wedding film that’s worth the wait, ensuring every detail meets my high standards of quality and creativity.

What should I expect from the finished product?

You’ll receive an online showcase of your wedding film through Vimeo, a professional streaming platform. All films are downloadable, so you can save them forever and share them with friends and family.

What makes you different from other wedding videographers?

I craft wedding films with artistry and passion. With a career in the creative industry that began in 2001, I started as a graphic designer in marketing and advertising agencies across Scotland and New Zealand. Since 2010, I’ve focused on wedding videography, bringing a decade of industry experience to every wedding I film.

My unique combination of natural artistic talent, technical expertise, and storytelling ability sets me apart. You don’t have to take my word for it—browse through my portfolio, and let my work speak for itself!

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes! I’m based in Scotland but am happy to travel throughout the UK or even abroad to capture your wedding. Additional travel costs may apply for locations outside of Scotland—let me know your plans, and we can discuss the details.

Do you offer different wedding film packages?

Absolutely. I offer a range of packages to suit different needs and budgets, including highlights-only edits, full-length feature films, and everything in between. Let’s chat about what you’re looking for, and I can recommend the perfect package for your day.

Can you film other events, like pre-wedding celebrations or elopements?

Yes, I’d love to! Whether it’s a pre-wedding party, an intimate elopement, or another special occasion, I’m happy to provide videography services tailored to your event.

What’s your filming style?

My style is candid and natural, with a focus on storytelling. I aim to blend into the background and capture genuine moments rather than staging shots. This ensures your wedding film feels authentic, heartfelt, and unique to you.

What happens if there’s bad weather on the day?

Scotland’s weather can be unpredictable, but I’m well-prepared for any conditions! Rain or shine, I’ll ensure your wedding film is stunning. For outdoor shoots, I’ll work with you to find creative ways to adapt and make the most of your surroundings.

What if I need to reschedule my wedding?

I understand that plans can change. If you need to reschedule your wedding, please let me know as soon as possible, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your new date. Rescheduling policies may vary depending on availability and timing, but we’ll work together to find a solution.

If you have any other questions, feel free to get in touch! I’d love to hear more about your plans and how I can help create a beautiful, lasting memory of your wedding day.
