Your wedding will probably go by in a flash. You’ll (hopefully) be having the time of your life! But you can only be in one place at a time so of course there will be a tonne of stuff happening that you don’t get to see or enjoy at the time. The excited reunions of friends and family who haven’t seen each other for years; the tears of happiness wiped away as you step down the aisle or your best friend seeing you put on the dress… of course these moments might be snapped in a photo but film lets you see, feel and actually experience everything that was going on around you. After all, you’ll have put so much effort into planning the most fun and memorable event, so why not see it through the eyes of your loved ones?
It’s one thing to see a picture of Nanna smiling at the reception. It’s another thing entirely to hear her cackling away and teasing your dad about his choice of shirt. If a picture tells a thousand words, then a film tells a million. When you’re watching your film decades from now, you’ll be seeing and hearing loved ones and reconnecting with your memories of them in a way that flicking through the album just cannot match.
Flip that sentiment around and imagine how fun it will be years from now to look back on all the cute littlies dressed up to the nines (and probably covered in icecream) running around having the time of their lives. If you’re into nostalgia, you don’t get much better than that!
Where a photo captures a moment in time, a film brings thousands of those moments together and tells a story. It’s so much more than the images – it’s the music, the lighting, the pacing, the words carefully chosen to be woven throughout. When you invest in a film, you’re commissioning a piece of art that is entirely unique. A (good) film won’t be cookie-cutter. Every element of it will be crafted to reflect you as a couple and to capture the mood and emotions of your celebration. That’s the only sort of film we’re in the business of making – films that are original and intimately personal to you. That’s why none of our films look or feel the same. Take these two, for example. Both of these films are our “Classic” but other than the length, there’s nothing similar about them. And, btw, I don’t play favourites – I’m in love with both of these films!
