To keep things simple, all of our packages include:

• One shooter from Wagner & Co. as your videographer
• 8 continuous hours of coverage

We’re happy to provide customized proposals if your needs fall outside of our standard packages.

For us, being selective about what we shoot and how we shoot, are essential to making a creative wedding video. This is where having just one videographer comes in.

Instead of filming anything and everything that catches our eye, we capture with careful attention to the moments, people, and considered details that contribute to the overall spirit of your celebration. Doing so allows us to stay curious and creative throughout the entire wedding day. We get to pick up on both the small gestures as well as the grand moments when we shoot with intention. This approach ultimately results in a better and more unique video for you to look back on.

Having 2 or more shooters is not our idea of efficiency or fun, especially when many of the clients we work with prefer a non-obtrusive and personal approach. And for weddings requiring travel we can help reduce costs for airfare if there’s only one videographer to consider.

We’re all about conveying the overall energy of your wedding and striking that perfect balance of joy, sentiment, and fun. We do this by combining moments, people’s interactions, and details in videos that not only have heart but often a bit of humour as well.

We mostly film things as they happen, in true documentary fashion. But we also enjoy interacting with you and your guests whenever possible, especially if you’re keen on adding some personalization and cheekiness to your footage.

We celebrate you as a couple but we also recognize that a wedding isn’t just about two people. We include the humans (and non-humans) in your videos in a big way because you cherish your community.

Super 8mm is a motion picture film format beloved by international fashion brands and indie enthusiasts alike. Over the past decade of using this medium, we’ve been in love with everything about it: The built-in nostalgia; how it interprets colour and expresses movement; the beautiful textures and grain you can only find in actual film stock. And maybe most of all is the way it elevates a moment while staying true to its real, humble, and home movie-like qualities.

One of our favourite experiences while shooting Super 8mm is how often guests delight at the very sight of the camera. “What is that?” we often hear. The click, and then the actual film spool whirring into action. This analogue format is something so few get to experience.

DIVE INTO THE GOODNESS THAT IS SUPER 8MM

Most of our videos do not have voice overs. We love cinema’s ability to convey mood and emotion without the need for dialogue. That said, we do offer coverage of the CEREMONY and SPEECHES and will often incorporate the best parts of this audio into a longer video called the FEATURE.

No, and here’s why:

The hundreds of clips our cameras produce at a wedding are the unedited building blocks we use to create the creative videos you see throughout our portfolio. If we skip out on the extensive but essential process of working on your footage, we aren’t providing you with the elevated experience we’ve been hired for: To thrill you with the unexpected, offer you our unique take on your wedding, and preserve your memories at their best.

Pouring our knowledge and expertise into your footage is a time-consuming process, no doubt about it. But all of it is necessary: Working with you to curate a soundtrack, identifying the right moments, cutting and timing these to music, making adjustments and corrections to audio where needed, and colour grading every scene to convey a mood and style, and more.

We want you to be as thrilled as possible with everything we create for you and we know that raw footage won’t provide that feeling. That extra something you’re hoping for in a wedding video.

We’re not at your wedding to simply record what happens: We’re here to elevate, apply our magic (AKA experience, training, intuition, technical expertise, love for what we do) to create something for you that’s both extraordinary and unexpected.

So, if you’re wanting quantity over quality, or aren’t terribly interested in our style or vision, we’re unfortunately not the best fit for you.

Music selection is one of the most involved parts of the filmmaking process and we value your input here.

After we’ve reviewed your footage, we’ll curate a short list of songs we believe would work best for your video. From this list, we’ll ask you to select the one you love most. This short list is based on:

• Music that can be purchased and licensed via a reputable music library;
• The overall pacing and feel of your day. If your celebration was full of events, people, dancing, and an energetic vibe throughout, your music will reflect this by being uplifting, fast-paced, and fun. If your celebration was more relaxed and intimate, your music will most likely be sweeter, slower-paced, and more romantic;
• Details we gather via a client questionnaire. We want to know what you love and gets you moving. And we’ll do our best to figure out if this matches the overall direction of music that’ll make for an amazing and personalized wedding video.

We strike a balance between allowing your memories to simmer (on a low, even heat) and giving ourselves the time to pour all of our creativity and care into your videos. This is why we don’t offer same day edits or sneak peeks.

But! We don’t think it’s reasonable to keep you waiting for a year or more. Our sweet spot for delivery is within 16 weeks but if we can get everything to you sooner, we certainly will. We promise it’ll be worth the wait.

TOMASZ WAGNER, our Creative Director, has you covered. We’re happy to work with photographers who vibe with our style but we’re especially chuffed when working alongside people who care as much as we do about making great art for, and with, you.

You’ll be hiring a team that already knows how to work together.

We have a very similar approach to working with our clients on the day of the wedding, even though the end “products” may look and feel different. There are many photographers who don’t understand how to collaborate with videographers unfortunately, and vice-versa. This can sometimes mean that your videographer will get less than ideal footage as the photographer often takes the lead on locations and posing cues.

But as your photo and video team, we’ll always chat beforehand and do a bit of storyboarding together before your wedding, especially if we know there are some unique elements to your venue or schedule we want to tackle together as a team. Dreaming up ideas collaboratively like this always results in extra personalized coverage. Always.
