Lovereel: Wedding Videography FAQ

Whilst the majority of our weddings have been captured by only 1 videographer, there are certain circumstances where you may benefit from having 2 videographers. This may include; if you'd like your preparations captured but there's not going to be enough time for only 1 videographer to cover it, if it’s in a small venue and there’s not enough physical space for our videographer to utilise more than 1 camera by themselves, if you're expecting a lot of guests and you’re hoping to see all of their faces throughout your footage, if there’s going to be lots of cultural traditions, customs, or performances, that are very important to you and you'd like for them to be covered to the fullest extent, or if you're simply after lots of extra raw footage with a wider variety of camera angles. Having 2 videographers ultimately means we can be in two places at once, giving you much more flexibility with regards to our coverage of your wedding day. Contact us if you need help making a decision.

If you book 1 videographer, we'll utilise a 2-camera setup for your ceremony and reception speeches, and 1 camera for all other parts of the day.

If you book 2 videographers, we'll utilise a 3-camera setup for your ceremony and reception speeches, and 2 cameras for all other parts of the day.

You're probably wondering, how long do I really need a videographer and photographer for? Well, we put together a handy guide to help you work out how many coverage hours you'll need us for on your wedding day. Contact us and we’ll email this guide to you.

Contact us and we’ll email you our pricing guide.

You can opt in for a monthly payment plan, making it a whole lot easier to budget. Or, you can pay the remainder 3 months prior to your wedding date. It's your choice.

All of our packages can be upgraded anytime, meaning you don’t have to commit to getting everything done all at once.

Booking our combined coverage comes with an array of benefits! It saves you the time and hassle of searching for multiple vendors; ensures your wedding photography and videography team work seamlessly together; and ensures your photos and films perfectly complement each other and align in style, tone, and lighting.

Plus, we bring the same level of flexibility, effortlessness, and expertise to wedding photography that we built our wedding videography business on—so you can rest easy knowing both your photos and films are in the most caring, capable hands.

While we can’t say exactly which of our shooters will be capturing your wedding until closer the date, we are a small, tight-knit team of passionate videographers and photographers who have worked together for years. We know how to shoot weddings with poise and professionalism—and we’re invested in the stories we capture and the couples we work with.

When you book our combined wedding photographer and videographer services, you will have 1 wedding photographer and 1 videographer present on your wedding day. You also have the option to add on a second photographer or videographer if you'd like to.

Our editing team includes Lovereel co-founder, Kat, and her sister. We think it’s important that the people who edit your film have a personal connection with you in order to effectively stitch together a story that’s true to you.

Lovereel co-founder, Chris, will be your point of contact leading up to your wedding day—and we wouldn’t have it any other way. As a founder, it’s incredibly important to Chris that he gets to know you—and personally answer your questions and provide the honest insight you’re seeking along the way.

We never outsource editing work or bring along a shooter we’re not familiar with.

Yes! Book in a pre-wedding shoot with us when booking us in for your wedding and you can meet with our photographer prior to your wedding date. This is optional.

Yes, we do, however, instead of having this built into our pricing, it’s optional.

Yes! We’ll professionally edit and colour-grade your photos to ensure consistent and beautiful tones—but we don’t heavily retouch your images (i.e. remove people, objects, or imperfections).

Absolutely! Our wedding photographers are highly technically trained. They’re masters of lighting, composition, and colour grading. The final images you receive will tell a stunning, authentic story of the emotions, energy, and essence of your day—and each is high-resolution and fit for printing (and sharing online!).

We give equal attention to both aspects of coverage—while ensuring that neither interferes with the other. Our goal is for you to have an effortless time in front of our cameras and walk away with heirloom-quality images and stunning films you’ll forever cherish.

Raw footage is all of the unedited video and audio captured throughout your wedding day. You'll be able to watch back through your entire event from every angle.

You'll receive all of the original, unedited video and audio files copied directly from our cameras and audio recorders. It will be provided to you as many separate files of various lengths, all organised and filed sequentially, and can be used to get a film edited in the future.

We'll also combine it all into one long unedited video per camera, and convert it into a universally friendly format for easy viewing on any modern TV or computer.

It’s very important to ensure that you book a highly experienced wedding videographer, such as Lovereel, so that you may rest easy knowing that everything will be captured professionally, using only the best cameras and audio recording equipment.

Owning your raw footage means that you always have the option of coming back to us at any point in the future to have a wedding film edited professionally (even years after your wedding day), or you can always have a crack at editing yourself. Either way, the most important thing is that your wedding has been professionally captured by Lovereel, and that you’ll always have access to your raw footage.

We film in 4K unless we’re filming slo-mo where only 1080p is possible. Typically we only capture a little bit of slo-mo anyway.

We'll be using wireless microphones and/or backup audio recorders to record professional audio during your ceremony and reception speeches, and on-board camera microphones for all other parts of the day.

For the wedding ceremony, we’d typically attach a wireless mic to the main mic in use. Additionally, we also like to attach a wireless mic to the groom or celebrant.

For the reception speeches, we’d typically attach a wireless mic to the main mic in use or plug directly into the DJ’s audio system.

We may also use backup audio recorders whenever we feel it’s needed.

Our Short Films are approx. 5mins whilst our Highlight Films are approx. 3mins. Short Films include audio narrative from the day as well as some ambience i.e. cheers, laughter, the clinking of glasses, etc. Highlight Films only include some ambience. Both include music too. The best way to understand these differences is to see for yourself. Here’s an example of a Short Film and a Highlight Film both captured at the very same wedding.
