IN CASE OF TECHNICAL ERRORS, DO YOU BRING ANY BACKUP EQUIPMENT?
I bring multiple backup cameras, lenses, audio equipment, even backup charger packs for my maps and directions.
HOW DO YOU RECORD SOUND?
Sound is captured using miniature microphones (about the size of your little finger) which record directly on to the device. These can attach seamlessly to a speaker, a microphone for speeches, a grooms jacket pocket. Anywhere discreet that no-one would notice.
HOW DO WE CONFIRM A BOOKING?
I ask for a deposit of €250 to confirm your date with the full balance payable at any time up to and including the day itself.
HOW DO WE RECEIVE OUR FILM?
The film is presented digitally online in a streaming interface similar to a classic DVD menu. This allows streaming through computer and smart devices as well as options to download each file for safekeeping.
DO YOU CAPTURE THE PREPARATIONS?
I capture one set of preparations as long as they are within 15 minutes travel time of the ceremony unless requested otherwise. We will chat before the day and work out a time for my arrival to capture the atmosphere and details. I arrive normally 2 hours before the ceremony and I stay for about 75 minutes then travel to the ceremony location to set up for the ceremony and capture guests arriving which is the part you won’t get to see on the day.
WHAT DOES YOUR SECOND SHOOTER PACKAGE ADD?
With the second shooter package, they will start their day at the ‘other’ preparation . They travel to the ceremony at the same time as these to set up for the ceremony which allows me a little extra time at my preparations to catch the dress on, a last toast etc. The second shooter will also operate drone at the reception venue (weather permitting) and capture guests mingling at the reception while you are having your couples portraits shot. Again capturing more of what you won’t see on the day.
WE AREN’T TOO FOND OF A CAMERA!
I’m fully aware the presence of a camera may make someone uncomfortable and also it can spoil the little natural moments which I am constantly searching for. So I use discreet cameras and equipment and I aim to be as unobtrusive as possible and to blend in with your guests.
HOW IS THE MUSIC FOR OUR FILM CHOSEN?
The music for each video is chosen by myself as I place such an importance on the music setting the tone of your film. I have spent over 8 hours in one day in the past meticulously finding the right song! I choose the music based on the experience and understanding I get from your day, your guests and your personalities. It is also fully licensed which allows you to share your video any way you wish and these licensing costs are included in your package price.
WHERE ARE YOU BASED?
I am based in Bettystown Co. Meath right by the beach! If you fancy a trip and a coffee, I am more than happy to chat all things wedding with you. I travel nationwide (or internationally on special request) and any travel costs are also already included in your package.
WHEN DO WE RECEIVE OUR FILM?
Your film is normally ready approximately 12 weeks after your wedding day. You will receive your highlights film online followed by a delivery of your film package.
DO YOU HAVE A BACKGROUND IN FILM?
I have a degree in Video and Film Production graduating in 2009. I then worked in graphics for 2 years, taught film for a year then begun capturing weddings. I have also captured events for corporate brands such as Google, Facebook, Cisco and more. Outside of shooting weddings, I create documentary films which have received awards at film festivals around Ireland and I also volunteer as part of a therapy dog team with my best pal Wonder. So if you need calming on a wedding morning, I can help with that too!
DO WE NEED TO MEET BEFORE THE WEDDING?
If you would like to meet or have a Skype to go over anything before the wedding, I am more than happy to do so. But if there’s no opportunity for that, don’t worry at all. We will confirm everything over a phone call and I can quickly follow your personality and interests upon arrival and capture the day in a way I can tell would be important to you.
ARE YOU FULLY INSURED?
Yes I am fully insured for Personal Indemnity and Public Liability.
