Documentary Wedding Photography and Film Presentation

So how do you want to remember your wedding?

This is an age old question I have to ask all of my clients because I’m a very creative soul and can show your wedding to you in so many different ways.

My most popular service is when couples book me for their wedding is to commission me to create a hybrid documentary wedding film, which is designed using a perfect blend of both photography and video.

It’s a bit like having a slideshow that comes to life with video as well.

You know what, I made a showcase hybrid film to show you what it means…

Hybrid documentary wedding film with both photography and video.

I use a variety of effects on the occasional bit of footage as you’ll notice when watching the film. This is always used sparingly and only done for special effects to enhance a particular part of the story. I have a real knack for choosing the right music to lead the films and usually spend pretty much an entire day searching for just music when working on one. I thought it would be worth me adding that in there because my clients only ever really see me at the wedding. Then I settle down in my studio to spend the next week working on your wedding. YES, I spend about a week on each wedding. So maybe you can appreciate why weddings are expensive. I don’t just turn up and then your artwork magically appears! Sometimes I wish it would but if the truth be known, I actually love the entire process and it gives me such a buzz when I see the reaction from my couples.

The Norcups - The Wedding Day

The Norcups Wedding Film

This is the beautiful story of Clint and Gemma Norcup on their wedding day at Bosworth Hall Hotel in Market Bosworth.

Clint and Gemma have been engaged and living together in Hinckley, Leicestershire for 19 years now and have 6 children between them, including two sets of twins. They have a wonderful and large family that bonds them together so tightly.

They commissioned me to create a film for their wedding day, even though I’d never filmed a wedding before. I’m becoming quite experienced at making films per se but have only ever done still photography at a wedding, until now.

I have 8 years of wedding photography experience but was very nervous about filming, just through understanding the pressures of not missing a thing. As it happens I absolutely loved the process and felt more at home filming the wedding than being the main photographer. I think I’ve found my calling!

I made plenty of mistakes in the recording and naturally so with it being my first ever wedding film. I had problems with the audio and some of my kit just wasn’t up to recording in the low light conditions that sometimes presented themselves. The beauty of these mistakes is that it hasn’t affected ‘The Norcups’ film badly and they absolutely love it and I now know what I need to do, to not make those mistakes again, meaning my next wedding film is going to exude a much better quality. I’m not unhappy with what I’ve produced here but I know I can do better, if you know what I mean?

What I’m extremely happy about is that despite the kit issues and audio quality, I’ve got the story and that’s the single most important factor. Their story is beautiful and I believe I’ve told it in the right way.

You may not even notice what I do but I strive for perfection and excellence and it disappoints me when I don’t live up to my own expectations.

So please be the judge of that for yourself and watch ‘The Norcups’, then leave me some feedback.
