Our wedding videography has the power to capture it all – loving glances, tears of joy, and everything in-between. We don’t just film your big day; we also pour hours into carefully editing your final wedding video for the best result imaginable. Of the many investments, you will make for your wedding, most last only in your memory after the day itself is over. A carefully crafted and edited wedding film is your keepsake that lasts the test of time. We know how many things you need to juggle when planning a wedding. We want to keep your wedding film videography as simple and straightforward as possible, so here’s a speedy breakdown of what you can expect working with us:
Let’s get to know each other a little better and have a casual call or chat over coffee to see if we’re a good fit for you! Once you’re ready to make things official, we require a 30% deposit to start planning, and we’ll share all the info you need regarding what to expect during the process.
Finalise the balance, and catchup to go over the run-through of events on your big day – and all your must-not-miss moments for your wedding!
Let’s jump on a quick call to make sure we’re up-to-date on any changes and weather backup plans (if needed).
We’ll let you know when we’re on the way, arrive early (and caffeinated) to set-up, and from there capture ALL the memorable moments in our unique, stylish way!
We’ll have our storyboard with all the best clips shortlisted into our timeline. This includes colour-grading each clip and overlaying ambient audio from your day throughout.
We work as quickly as we can, but we don’t want to rush and leave you with anything less than perfection. Countless hours of dedication later, we’ll deliver your final files that you can share with your friends and fam. Trust us, the best things in life are worth the wait!
You absolutely can, and we’d love to chat before going over details and get to know you better (and you us). We can organise a quick in-person coffee catch up if you’re close to our office or a video call – whatever works for you!
You’re the boss of your wedding, and we’re there there to support and guide you! You can expect a calm and a relaxed approach on our end. We don’t want to be distracting, and so our style is very natural. We find this also plays a massive part in making sure you and your guests come across candid (not fake or forced, which nobody wants captured on film!)
We can relate! For most of us, it’s not every day that you’re being filmed and photographed by pros. What can make a huge difference here is getting to know each other a little beforehand – even before you decide to work with us. Breaking the ice in advance and having a chance to get comfortable with us means you’ll feel more relaxed and have peace of mind by the time your wedding day arrives! We’d love to have a casual chat over coffee or a video chat, so we can get to know more about you guys, your wedding preferences and vibe!
ALL your usual wedding festivities, plus other surprises or specials requests you might have in store. Some of the big moments may include your aisle walk and ceremony, your newlywed reception entrance, first dance and cake cutting. Other considerations we’re more than happy to film could be: you and your partner getting ready before the wedding *officially* begins, photoshoots, any cultural traditions/customs, lawn games, performances, fireworks, speeches, cake cutting, bouquet/garter toss, newlyweds exit – the list goes on! In short, we’ll have our eyes and ears open all day, ready to capture all the moments you’ll be able to cherish forever (including any spontaneous “priceless” moments).
We don’t film non-stop instead, we capture the moments you really care about, from the start till finish. Here’s a different way to think about it; a Hollywood movie can take up to 10 months (or more) to shoot footage that gets edited into a film, usually a few hours long. We loved Titanic, but it may not have been as good if it clocked in at ten hours! That’s what we’ll do with your film: take the very best moments of your day, and thoughtfully edit them into an emotional, captivating, and beautiful wedding film. The final highlight film is usually 5-6 minutes long, but if you really want something longer, you can book our extended documentary film upgrade. This provides 30 minutes of film footage – our couples love them!
Yes! We use on-camera microphones that capture audio at all times. We’ll switch to professional audio recording for the extra special/important moments, such as the wedding ceremony and reception speeches. This means using wireless lapel microphones and/or backup audio recorders to make the sound as crystal clear as possible! We generally attach a wireless lapel microphone to whichever partner is wearing a suit for the wedding ceremony, so it can be hidden well. Additionally, we also like to connect one to the celebrant (pending their permission prior). For the reception speeches, we usually plug directly into the wedding DJ’s audio system. If that’s not possible, we can attach a wireless lapel microphone to the microphone used for the speeches instead! Don’t worry; we’ve got it covered, and we always come prepared with a backup plan if needed!
No! It’s not our day; it’s yours! As we said above, you’re the boss, and we’re your support team. We do our best to blend in on your wedding day – that means no tripods setup in the middle of the isle piles of gear all over the place. We’re super organised and basically ninjas. Our hope is that you would notice us about as much as you would notice your wedding photographer.
We believe that wedding photos and films are equally important, so we’ll collaborate with your chosen photography team. If we haven’t worked with your photographer previously, we’ll take the time to touch base with them a few days/weeks before your wedding and create a game plan together. Easy peasy!
We’ll adhere to your dress code or special requests, so just let us know. Usually, we wear “dress smart”, which ensures we blend in with your wedding guests, and so our presence is as non-intrusive as possible.
It’s true the best things in life take time and trust us, your bespoke wedding film will be worth the wait! High-quality wedding videography is highly customised and personalised, and our approximate turnaround is 6-8 weeks for the main film. Social media showreels will delivered as soon as possible so you can start to show off. Social media reels are usually ready with 7 days. We take our time creating and polishing your film to ensure you’ll receive a result that blows your socks off and “wows” you! Although the process is time involved and in-depth, often we can work our magic sooner (pending the season). We’ll always keep you updated along the way.
We pay a license fee on any wedding video music we use (to avoid copyright infringement – yup, even wedding vids can’t escape it). The music we choose will be expertly selected to complement the look, feel, and style of your wedding day. You can trust us on the music front since Hey Jack specialises in wedding entertainment too. We’ll also make sure the wedding music in your film won’t sound outdated in ten years, which is very important for this long-term investment! If there is a specific song that’s very meaningful for you, let us know, and we’ll see if we can license it.
Within 40miles of Sittingbourne, your transport is included! For a destination/overseas wedding, we charge for the direct cost of flights with Easyjet, transport (such as car hire) and basic accommodation. For weddings within the UK that involve vast driving distances, we charge a travel fee of £2 per mile further than 40miles of Sittingbourne.
Food is our fuel, and we do need a little meal break. For full day weddings you can place us wherever you want although we prefer to be seated away from the main wedding breakfast so we can recharge batteries and set up gear ready for the evening without getting in guests way. (we don’t expect to sit at the head table). Since we’re on hand all day, this sustenance will help us perform at our best! Generally, the best time is for us to eat when we eat. Most of the time, not as much is happening during dinner, and we can ensure we don’t miss anything (plus, we can continue with loads of energy right after). This is important to discuss with the caterer beforehand. For half day or Twilight weddings we do not need a meal.
Yes! We are fully insured (£10 million in public liability insurance), which gives peace of mind to everyone.
