About Us

We are based in Irby on the Wirral, but we cover Liverpool and the rest of Merseyside, Greater Manchester and other nearby areas such as Chester and nearby parts of North Wales.

Our approach to wedding videography is to be as unobtrusive as possible, whilst really capturing the joy and excitement of the day as it unfolds.

We do not create false/posed scenes like some other videographers. This has the additional benefit in that it allows you to get on with enjoying yourself for real, rather than just concentrating on trying to look like you are enjoying yourself for the camera.

For the ceremony and speeches we will use 2 cameras to provide a variety of angles in the edited footage. We also use a variety of professional microphones including a radio mic to achieve top quality audio for your DVD.

Can I see an example of your work?

Of course. Check out the Testimonials & Examples page.

Why do I need a wedding/event video?

Similar to photographs, a video is a great way of bringing back memories of the day. Often, people tell me that they watch their wedding video much more often than they look at their photos. Because a video includes moving pictures and sound it is much better at capturing the atmosphere of the day. Don’t end up like this couple:



Why not get a relative to do it?

There is a lot to think about when making a video. Experience, organisation, technique and equipment are all highly important. By using a professional videographer you will ensure that the video will be something that you enjoy watching again and again. Remember, you only have one chance to record your wedding.

What does a typical easyweddingvideo.com DVD contain?

The DVD will have a menu system similar to a typical Hollywood Movie DVD. From the main menu you can choose to play the main video, to go to the chapters menu, or to the extras menu (which will contain additional videos such as Best Bits, Diary Room etc. if these have been ordered).

The main video will generally break down into the following chapters:

1. Opening sequence set to music of your choice. This can contain clips of the venue, guests and bridal party arrival, preparations etc. This usually lasts about 3-4 minutes.

2. The ceremony. The audio for this section is recorded using a radio mic for additional clarity (this is usually real time so it lasts as long as the ceremony).

3. Signing register and photo session set to music of your choice (3-4 minutes).

4. Bride and Groom entrance to reception, followed by speeches (real time).

5. First Dance (real time).

6. Highlights from disco/band etc. (3-4 minutes).

Can I have music in my video? Are there any legal issues with this?

Yes, you can have any music you like on the video. Special licences are required for any music that is recorded on your video (or added on during editing). The cost of these licences in included in your package cost so you do not have to worry about the legality of your DVD.

Will the filming be obtrusive?

In short no.

We film what we see and do not direct scenes and we will keep out of the way as much as possible. During a wedding ceremony we use a tripod mounted camcorder behind the Vicar/Registrar, positioned so that your faces can be shown. A second hand-held camcorder is used to capture additional footage from the side.

We also use a camera crane to record certain special shots during the wedding. This can extend up to over 4m high so we cannot claim that it will blend into the background. If you prefer, we don't have to use this equipment, but we think that the footage produced is so great that its worth it.

How long will the video be?

This depends on the length/type of service, the length of speeches and how you want the video to be edited (for example, if someone makes a 20 minute speech, would you like this to be edited down to the best bits). Generally most videos are between 30 and 90 minutes.

Will we meet before the wedding?

The concept behind easyweddingvideo.com is that you can book it all online. However, if you would prefer to meet up before making a booking just get in touch and we will set up a meeting at a mutually convenient time.

Will you require food/refreshments?

We don't require you to cater for us, however, if it is possible for a meal to be provided for us (there will be 2 camera men) away from the main wedding breakfast it certainly makes things much easier for us on the day, and it is much appreciated.
