What is "Raw Footage only"?
So you may be wondering what we mean by "Raw footage only"
...So here's a breakdown of the different parts of it, just so it makes a bit more sense.
BRIDAL/GROOM PREP
From here we'll typically go to the morning prep, so this is either from bridal prep, or if you are setting anything up in the morning, following with that happening, getting the natural banter that will happen.
​
Throughout this there will be natural gaps for me to borrow people to ask them some questions so you get those messages from your loved ones.
COCKTAIL HOUR
So once your ceremony is finished, its time for cocktail hour, this may start with the confetti walk or possibly include it later on. Throughout this we'll just mingle and get some shots of people just chatting, but then also either interview several people...OR!
if you have a bit of a...confident, sure of themself person, we can give them a handheld microphone and have them go round interrogating people for cute or funny messages.
​
We'll then end with some shots of you two having some time together before we head over to the speeches
THE WEDDING MORNING
All of our weddings we film the same regardless of what package you choose. The only difference is the edit. So just because you've chosen the raw footage package, doesn't mean we'll do anything different. Typically starting with some location shots to establish where we are. With a mixture of the drone
THE CEREMONY
So now it's the moment it's all been building up to. Though this can sometimes be the quickest part of the day.
If you have people giving readings we'll mic them up too so they're nice and clear. Typically we'll stay with the groom and can then pan to see the bride walking in whilst capturing the groom's reaction.
​
We like to be up there at the aisle with you so we capture the facial expressions but are happy to stand far back if you'd prefer. The main thing is about mic'ing you up so we can hear your voices say "I do"
THE MIDDLE POINT
Depending on if the speeches are before or after food, this will typically be our break time.
RECEPTION
Think of this as cocktail hour 2.0 ... essentially everyone will be a bit more tipsy. They may be lethargic from all the food...but it's another chance to interview people. Plus you may have evening guests show up, so new faces !
​
Sometimes you may have people take part in a heated game of croquet outside...who knows!
THE SPEECHES
Now back to it, it's time for the speeches. This is usually the part which is unedited as you'll just want to hear the speeches from start to finish. We'll put a mic on everyone who will be talking so that wherever they decide to stand up and give their speech...you'll still hear them
DANCING
Now comes the fun part where everyone is just dancing the night away. Or any other activities that happen in the evening we'll capture. Typically staying 1hr after the first dance, so you've plenty of footage of people dancing and any additional messages from your evening guests.
CAKE & SHAKE
Time to cut the cake, then have your romantic first dance which we then transition into a fun dance video montage of everyone shaking their booty. Which then transitions into the end credits. Basically a fun music video of everyone dancing to celebrate the wedding!
DELIVERY
Due to the nature of not having to edit, turn around time is super fast! All we do is make a backup copy on our drives, label everything and then pop your USB in the post.
​
Typically footage & audio can be between 300gb - 500gb
We recommend making your own backups.
