Film Questions
Won’t having my wedding filmed be intrusive?
With fully trained, courteous operators, dressed for the occasion we blend into the background on your wedding day. Our subtlety is something of which we are very proud and is frequently attested by our clients. Our equipment list also includes 'long lenses' which allow us to get close to the action without ever having a camera in the way.
Can I choose my own music?
YES! Just send us a CD of your favourite songs or email them to us.
Can I have my wedding film in black and white?
Yes, we have a variety of colours and editing styles to choose from. These can be viewed under ‘colour grading’ on our sample DVD. (This service is subject to an additional charge).
Why would I want my wedding filmed in widescreen?
It is important to have your wedding in a format that will last for decades to come. That’s why Jam Weddings shoots all of our weddings in a true 16:9 (widescreen) format, supporting future generations of digital viewing.
Why would I want my wedding filmed in High Definition?
High Definition (HD) format produces results of at least four times the quality of previous standards. We will also be able to provide you with upgraded copies in the future as HD technologies become standard.
I have relatives in other countries - will the DVD work for them?
Just inform us of the country they are in and/or what format they require and we will ensure that a DVD copy in a suitable format is made available (this service is subject to an additional charge).
In addition, with every package, online highlights are the perfect way to share your special day with friends and family overseas.
Why would I want multiple cameras and operators at my wedding?
Multiple cameras not only provide a more detailed account of your special day but also allow Jam Weddings to capture some of those moments that you might otherwise miss. Two cameras allow us to capture both the bride’s preparations and the arrival of your guests. A third camera would capture the groom’s preparations. The final result from a multi-camera shoot is generally more enjoyable to watch. If you have any other questions please contact us directly.
Photography Questions
How long must we wait to receive our wedding DVD or photographs?
With a normal turnaround of two to three weeks, Jam Weddings aim to have them ready for you when you arrive back from your honeymoon (Subject to circumstances).
Why would I want multiple photographers at my wedding?
Multiple photographers not only provide a more detailed account of your special day but also allow Jam Weddings to capture some of those moments that you might otherwise miss. Two photographers allow us to capture both the bride’s preparations and the arrival of your guests.
Is it possible to choose a photograph album from a different package?
Yes, the package would be subject to change, but all of our photograph album range is available for every package. For more information on our package extras and album upgrades, please visit the optional extras page.
Where can I find the costs for a bespoke package?
If you would like to benefit from our co-ordinated film and photography teams working together to capture your day, please contact us for an accurate quote tailored to your requirements.
Can I have all or a selection of my wedding photographed in black and white?
Yes - we have a variety of colours and finishes to choose from, we shoot digitally in colour so effects can be added after. Other more extensive photo editing services may be subject to an additional charge.
What are the advantages of having the combination service of both photography and film?
We can do it all with Jam Wedding Film and Photography:
- Consistently high quality
- Films and photographs that complement each other
- All with the convenience of dealing with only one team
