Here’s a few ways a guy + a gal with a few extra cameras can give you the tools to make the most of your day:
1. We can help you discover a location and plan your elopement in a way you’re excited about
Struggling to figure out where/how to get married? Having filmed more than a handful of weddings, we can offer quite a few suggestions, especially if you’re just dipping your toes into the world of planning your wedding or elopement. 2020 is the year of adapting, becoming resilient and growing more creative, especially when it comes to planning a wedding.
If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you haven’t planned a full-on wedding before, unless you have a thing for wearing matching dresses + planning. Even then, there’s a good chance you haven’t been to 50+ weddings. We have and are more than happy to help!
2. Videographers can offer suggestions for timing and assist with setting the tone for your day
A wedding video tends to be one of the last things couples think about. You book your venue, your photographer, your caterer and then you’re spent. Literally! There are SO many ways to spend money on a wedding and having a video from the day you get married may feel like a luxury. We are so much more than camera operators. Sharing timing ideas, offering tips for locations for photos and even sourcing AirBnb’s for you to stay at — we want you to tap into our wealth of knowledge.
3. A videographer can boost creativity with fellow vendors and advocate for capturing your day more candidly
You can tell when someone feels awkward, stressed or just uncomfortable. This is the opposite of how you deserve to feel on the day you get married. We’ll encourage movement, connection with your partner and just plain fun. You deserve a day filled with good food, great friends and a whole lot of love.
Gone are the days of mammoth cameras with a massive mic and florescent lights ruining the mood. Our cameras are subtle, often smaller than a photographers and designed to capture moments on the move. We are designed to move (one of the key reasons Grady wears stretchy pants) and be observant, seeking out the little interactions that will matter to you. And future you.
4. A video gives you the gift of reliving moments that matter
Video offers another perspective to share with everyone who matters to you. The people you choose to capture your day will be with you all day and it’s pretty important that you like them. They need to know what you’re looking for, have to be willing to work cohesively and have the understanding of the kind of experience you want, so that it’s one that will make you feel good.
With COVID-19 sticking around for the the foreseeable future, it may be a long time before you can have the kind of reception or celebration with the 50+ people in your life you care most deeply about. Video captures what a wedding is all about — you and your favourite people celebrating in one place.
5. You deserve to feel your wedding day with more than a single frame.
Sound, emotion and words bring memories to life. When people talk about their wedding day going by fast, this is what they mean. Imagine the look on your face when you hear words straight from the heart of the person you love most. Imagine hands grasping your back with a giant hug and then holding your face in their hands as they look on lovingly. These fleeting moments make us human and are captured so beautifully with movement and sound.
Bonus!
We’re a lot of fun to have around. Totally dorky, love-junkies who adore dogs, food + good times! You’re probably going to have an awesome wedding regardless, but if you think there’s a small chance any one of the above perks are worthwhile, we’d love to hear from you.
Wondering whether it’s worth it to include a videography team in your day?
Our approach as videographers is to guide, prompt and suggest ways of being together that encourage you to feel connected and present with each other. Oh, and we’re totally here for the snort-laughs, too.
A really good film captures movement and tiny details that showcase people as they are, connecting you to how the day felt. Our job is to find out the deep connection a couple shares in their relationship, giving them a way to highlight this for years to come. We fully believe a talented photographer and videography team will give you an even more amazing experience.
You want videographers who will take care of and be there to support you! This is one of the ways we show up and bring a little extra pizzazz. We connect ourselves with environment, capturing what extends this moment in time without making you feel like you need to be anywhere else.
What video can capture, is something that’s hard to describe — it has to be felt. A laugh, the emotion felt in a voice and the subtle in-between moments. It’s beyond seeing something happen, it’s being fully immersed in all the senses of the experience.
Video can literally take you right back to being in that moment. There’s an artistic side to creating a film, which makes videography subjective. There’s a key difference between a transaction and an experience. A talented videographer gives you the guidance and support to make the most of yours!
Maybe you’re not the kind of couple who wants a video of themselves — together — celebrating the commitment you’re making, and that’s totally okay. Thanks for being here and exploring the possibilities!
If you’re just dipping your toes into the world of planning your wedding or elopement you’re in luck! 2020 has become the year of adapting, becoming resilient and growing more creative, especially when it comes to creating a really beautiful way to celebrate getting married.
We’re storytellers and the cameras are our essential tools to connecting you back to this day.
