Why you should have a Wedding video

When you're looking carefully at costs, you may find it difficult to see the value in having your Wedding filmed. Particularly if you're already paying for a good Photographer. But having your Wedding day filmed and just as importantly having it filmed really well, is an absolute must. You will find many people will take their own photographs at your Wedding, so along with the ones you've actually paid for you'll have thousands to choose from and remember the day by. How many will take good quality video that's been edited and stylised to your tastes? To us, a Wedding film is a collection of beautiful moving pictures and sounds that record not only the smiles, but the laughter, the cheers, the real energy and emotion of the day.

What we do

Drawing on our years of experience making wedding films for countless couples, we've created a collection of outstanding value wedding video packages; The Finesse; The Prestige and The Exclusive.  Each package can be tailored to ensure that it's absolutely right for you and your Wedding. Once we've established what's most important to you, we'll do our best to stay out of sight and capture all the special moments as they unfold.

How we work

Before the Wedding, we consult with you, generally by phone up to the day itself, to ensure that we know what's happening and are ready to provide the best possible coverage. We'll ask you for a selection of your music and where appropriate any old photos or video that you'd like us to use to produce your wedding film.

During the Wedding, we'll discreetly capture all the major planned events and the little spontaneous ones as they happen naturally. We'll work with your Photographer to ensure we both get the best shots and aren't bumping elbows with your guests.

After the Wedding, we'll be working hard to edit and produce your DVD or Blu-Ray. We'll invite you to provide us with Photographs for the Case itself along with a list of credits to those who helped make your day so special and any other footage or photos you'd like included within the film. It can typically take around 12 weeks to produce the finished product, which we'll present to you in stylish DVD cases along with a bottle of champagne! The video itself is usually around an hour, plus any special features you've requested, to ensure it remains enjoyable to watch again and again. We'll also provide you with a selection of stills taken from the video on a disc for you to share with friends & family around the world online, along with a short video with a selection of highlights from the day, that could easily be uploaded to youtube or facebook for example if you wanted. This is an entirely complimentary service.

Why you should choose Chapter

What makes Chapter unique, is that we put you at the centre of everything we do. We recognise that it's your day, but we also understand that you're not movie directors, so we work tirelessly with you to find out what you like and need, so that we can produce a Wedding video that is both beautifully distinctive and perfectly complimentary to your tastes.
