Important Notes Regarding the Video Filming of Weddings

If you are marrying in church you should:

• Check with the church if video cameras are allowed to be used inside during the ceremony, and whether fees will be involved for the use of videos inside the church. Most churches will charge for this to cover the organist and choir under the "performers Protection Act 1958 & 1972".

• Video recording of church services will be covered by a CCL Licence held by the church. Whilst some churches hold this licence, it will be necessary for you to check with the vicar or minister.

• Any additional charges made by the Church is payable by yourselves and is not included in our Wedding Package Price.

• Providing prior permission has been granted by the Minister to film at the Venue, we set up our tripod inside.
  Most Churches charge a fee for allowing a video inside the Church, and this is paid for by you as part of the Church fees.

• Some Churches don't allow a video at all. If permission has been given,  we film the whole of the Ceremony, hopefully from the front and on the right of the Altar, as this gives the best view of the Bride during the Ceremony.

Most times we film the congregation as the couple are signing the registry, so that they can see everyone who attended their wedding, as most people will tell you that the day goes by in such a blur that they can remember very little, which is why the video is so important.

Outside, we film everyone singly, or in small groups so that we have plenty of pictures to take from the video for the Video Album.

Typically there will be around 150 pictures in still frame and slow motion clips in the Video Album, and it is the main reason why so many people book us, as it means that as well as a video, they have an alternative set of photos, and with modern technology, we now turn those pictures into a CD-ROM for couples to send their images around the globe via the internet.

On to the Reception and we are there to cover the speeches and the ceremonial cake cutting. Sometimes the wedding for whatever reason will overrun past the 4 hours we have allowed for filming. If it does then we stay until the end of the speeches and add the cost of the extra time to the cost of the Wedding.

And that's it. The perfect day captured for you to re-live over and over!
