We were with both Lisa & Anthony all day and onto the carriages at night on a bespoke package. I always enjoy the bridal preparations as it gives us a chance to get to know the bride and become part of the day. Not only do we capture memorable and emotive footage we become a friendly face on the day for you which often disarms many couples and lets them relax and enjoy the day without worrying about us. Our style is reportage, that is, fly on the wall. Rarely do we ask you questions, shove a camera in your face and interview. That is of course unless you want to! We stand back and try to be another guest. If at the end of the night you say we barely noticed you then we have done our job (well one third of it as then comes the hard bit of editing it!)Many say the cost of this seems high compared with other extras but the logistics of filming the bridal preparations are the primary reason for the cost and often it means cutting out a sequence from another portion of the disc in order to ensure the best possible quality footage. If there are two camera operators they both must travel. This then involves 2 extra man hours, extra editing, tapes and travel costs.
