Raw footage: what's it all about?
Every second we capture on camera is yours to keep.
Get access to every single moment and memory from your wedding day, preserved on film forever.
Raw wedding footage includes all of the raw video and audio from your wedding day. In other words, it’s everything we’ve captured on camera—from the big moments you’ll remember forever to the sweet nothings you may have missed—organised in an easy format for you to hold onto forever.
Raw footage is automatically included with every videography booking—you can even opt to book raw footage on its own (with no requirement to pay for any editing). Later down the road, you can book us to put together an edited wedding film for you—the files are completely yours to do with what you please, when you please.

Why you’ll love it...
Booking Lovereel for just raw wedding footage ensures your day is documented and preserved on film from start to finish, without locking you into a film purchase. You’ll gain access to everything we’ve captured on camera and get to relive your wedding through your guests’ eyes—from bride and groom preparations right up to the newlyweds send-off at the very end of your reception. We can also document anything else you have planned, such as a tea ceremony or first look.
The best part is you have all of the professional files you need to have our team create an edited wedding film later on should you choose.
Will we need a second videographer?
Many of our weddings are beautifully captured with just one videographer, but if you'd like more comprehensive coverage and flexibility, booking two videographers with us is an excellent investment. We can be in two places at once, capture a greater variety of camera angles, deliver significantly more raw footage and a more dynamic wedding film. Bonus: includes a video guest book and aerial drone footage.
There's no pressure to decide right away. Many couples book one videographer initially and add a second later if they'd like the extra coverage and flexibility.
Learn moreWhy it makes a difference
Our team has worked together extensively—we know each other's movements and coordinate seamlessly to stay out of each other's shots while maintaining the same unobtrusive, candid approach that makes our coverage so special.
While photographers can quickly move between moments, videographers need to stay in position longer to capture those continuous, cinematic shots you see in our wedding films. Having a second videographer means one of us can focus on your official timeline and formalities, while the other captures guest reactions and heartfelt behind-the-scenes moments that could otherwise be missed.
If you have important cultural traditions or performances you want fully documented, having a second videographer makes capturing everything much more achievable.
How we cover your day with two videographers
📹 Preparations
The benefit: Huge time saver, especially with separate getting-ready locations.
What we capture: One films bridal preparations while the other captures the groom’s preparations, aerial drone establishing shots, and sets up for your ceremony.
💒 Ceremony
The benefit: Multiple perspectives of your most important moment.
What we capture: Three different camera angles—one on you, one on your partner, one on both of you together, as well as candid moments of your guests. If it’s a tiny venue with no room for tripods, having two bodies means you’ll still get a minimum of two angles.
📸 Photoshoot
The benefit: Simultaneous coverage of your photoshoot and cocktail hour.
What we capture: One films your photoshoot while the other documents cocktail hour and guests mingling back at your reception venue. We’ll also start capturing heartfelt video messages from loved ones wanting to share their well-wishes (your video guest book!).
🎉 Reception
The benefit: More complete coverage of all your celebrations.
What we capture: Speeches from three angles—one on the person giving a speech, one on both of you, and one on your guests. All other formalities from two angles. More video messages from guests after formalities conclude. Plus, simultaneous coverage of anything else you might have planned.
