The Info

I usually work alone or in couple, also three videographer if needed. We shoot everything in Full Hd quality and from 2017 in 4K, providing the best quality in the market. We shoot using gimbals, drones, monopods, tripods, sliders or just handheld, depending on the look we want to give to our videos.

We start from the very beginning, the location, recording all the beautiful spot around the area. Then we get to the bride's room, to film our favourite moments of the build up to the wedding, the bridal hair and make up. This is the place where emotions start to surface., where all the magic happens. Whenever possible, we film the groom's dressing, his family, friends and all the ceremony preparations.

Once we get on location, it could be a beautiful forest, a sandy beach, a picturesque church, we start to film every single moment with our style, trying to capture all the emotions during the ceremony and especially during the most important moment of a wedding: the exchange of wedding rings and the bride and groom's vows.

We care a lot about image quality and audio, this is why we always recommend to shoot at least in two people, in order to make your wedding film special.

We film all the speeches with different cameras from different angles, capturing good quality audio and we edit it in the film or a full video of the speeches.

At the reception you will never noticed us, we move like ninja through tables, guests and friends, to report in a natural way the progress of the wedding . We film on average about 10/11 hours for every wedding but we can stay with you till the last dance if needed.

Once we finish to film, we save all the files in a secure hard drive, making two more copies as a backup. Then we start to edit all the material with powerful computers, using all our skills and knowledge to provide you with an unforgettable film of your wedding.

The final edits are two: "the highlights" and the film. The highlights' film is a three minutes video, showing all the best moments of your wedding day which you can share on your social networks. The film is about ten minutes long and goes deep into emotions and feelings, giving you an accurate video with song and music that we choose for you. Yes, we decide to do it for you because we know better than anyone which kind of music is the right one, but we would like to know all your taste, in order to choose the right musics for you.

Once we finish with editing, we export the video in the highest possible quality delivering it through usb key and boxes, dvd, vimeo, youtube, you must tell us before what your preference will be and we will provide you the best possible service.

Types of Wedding Videos

Cinematic

What does it means Cinematic? It is defined as a ‘filmy’ look.  This style aims to increase the emotional impact through use of slow motion and transition effects, saturated colors, creative camera angles and dramatic music.  It has that ‘wow’ factor to tell your story in a unique way.

Concept Videos

Concept wedding video is the most artistic and elaborated type of wedding videos. It is usually scripted and includes a lot of preparation, usually a few pre wedding shoots, interviews with the couple or guests and finally the wedding video itself.

Short Form Wedding

Although there is no official standard, the generally accepted rule of thumb for a short form is between 10-45 minutes in length.

The first thing you will probably notice when viewing a film is that events don’t always occur in chronological order. Normally the different elements of the day are connected by speeches, sound bites or vows from the ceremony, together they tell a compete story.

Instagram Videos

Since the rise in popularity of mobile phones and social media apps, especially Instagrams popularity there has been an increase in much shorter wedding videos. The typical length of an Instagram video is 15 seconds to 60 seconds for the Instagram feed. You can also upload longer videos too to IGTV.

Is quite common to share highlight video on YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Instagram and other social networks to family and friends. The shorter highlight video is quite often popular for showing to friends, while immediate family members and close friends might want watch the full-length wedding video.

Trash the dress

A fad that struck the video and photography markets from 2005 to 2008. The idea was to create art by soaking, staining, dirtying or outright destroying the wedding gown. The shoot often occurred after the wedding day.
