Describe your typical process with a couple.
After he deposit to secure our services has been made, we then arrange an informal meeting either by video call or face to face to get all the details and timings of the wedding.
On the day, we film in a totally natural style, blending into the background to ensure every moment is captured. We cover everything from morning prep through to the evening dancing.
After the wedding, we select a number of video screenshots that we post on social media, with the highlights (normally put to the music of the first dance) following shortly afterwards. We then keep our couples up to date with when to expect their final film, which is sent through our online service. The online service means you can download it on to your phone, computer, lap top, and watch it anywhere, you can also share with friends and family.
USB's can be purchased also at an additonal cost.
What is the most exciting thing you have caught on camera?
There have been so many over the years, it honestly would be difficult to pinpoint one. We filmed an event once with HRH The King, which was great and also a secret proposal on Greenan Beach in Ayr....... which was lovely to film and see the reaction of the bride to be when the proposal was made.
What is your favourite soundtrack to put to a wedding video?
Braveheart or Highland Cathedral.
Music is very important throughout a wedding film, and we ask all clients to provide 10 to 12 of their own personal favourite that we then include in the edited Wedding film. We have had everything from ACDC to Star Wars and Harry Potter , so don't think all the songs have to be traditional.
Describe how you got into videography.
It all started as a hobby, having filmed and edited a few short documentaries, we were then asked to film a family Wedding...... and the rest they say is history!!
We started the business in 2011 as Ultimate Moments Videography, but in 2023 took the massive step of rebranding our business name to V.I.P Wedding Films - which has worked very well for us.
