Do you film in 4k?
As standard all our weddings are filmed in glorious 4k which is about 4 times better than HD quality.
What about sound capture?
We use a combination of ambient sound recorders, plugging into sound boards and wireless mics to capture quality audio.
Do you cover smaller/week day weddings or offer a one cinematographer service?
Yes. We gained expertise capturing weddings with one cinematographer using multiple cameras during the covid era where numbers were restricted and have continued to offer this service for smaller/weekday weddings. and registry weddings.
Do we have to book both the photography and cinematography package or can we just book cinematography?
It's ideal to book both services with us from both a logistics point of view (ie one point of contact before, during and after the day) and a more seamless service on the day. However, over the years we have successfully worked with dozens of other photographers with the one aim of capturing your memories with equal importance for both photography and cinematography. You're very welcome to book cinematography only if that option works better for you.
