This week we decided to start a Facebook group and invited our past and future couples to join us.
It’s a great place to give us your views, talk to our Mintyslippers Brides (and grooms) and just have a general chat about your wedding.
Our group is open to all so feel free to pop on by over here.
For anyone not yet familiar with Facebook It’s a great place to keep in touch with people or chat with like minded folk.
James and Heena approached us with an interesting request. They were planning a white wedding, and a Hindu/indian ceremony on the same day, with lots of costume changes! We were both very excited at the prospect of filming our first Hindu/Indian wedding and jumped at the chance to get involved. It realy was an amazing spiritual day, with an aray of colours, and plenty people who wern’t camera shy!
The day was filled with scenes from what could have been a Bollywood movie, the drummers, the dresses, the dancing…..everyone had the best time, including us.
We’d just like to say thanks to James and Heena and their family and friends, for allowing us to share their amazing day. The highlight clip is around twice as long as our usual clips, but it was so hard to choose the best shots as it was such an artistic day.
We really enjoyed filming this one, our best experience yet. Enjoy.
For any friends and family wishing to purchase a copy of the final DVD please do so via the happy couple themselves.

Today we purchased a new piece of equipment to help us add that cinematic touch to your wedding day, A Glidetrack.
The Glidetrack is a little piece of equipment which allows our camera to glide along as if it were on rails. You see the movement all the time in the movies where the camera slowly moves across. Rarely do you ever see the camera totally still.
Unlike our Glidecam, this allows for much slower, stable movement. Imagine as the image slowly moves in as you exchange rings. Or to showcase your wedding car in all its splendor.
I think its best to see what can be produced with this small video from it’s creator, Alistair Brown.
For more information about the Glidetrack visit www.glidetrack.com

They offer a whole host of services, many of which I had no idea even existed ranging from simply finding you a supplier all the way up to full wedding day co-ordination.

Some time ago we set about becoming Dolby® certified. To gain this accreditation we had to fill our a few forms, but more importantly we had to send our work to Dolby® labs for them to analyse, poke and prod to ensure the work we give our happy couples meets their high standards.
We have always created our DVD’s using Dolby® Digital sound, which produces the same audio quality you have come to expect from big budget Hollywood movies but now we have their permission to use the logo on our work to prove that what we create really is of the highest quality.
But the best bit is not the fact we get to use the logos but that the paperwork came back in a nifty plastic wallet with the Dolby logo on the front. How sexy is that!

As of 1st January 2009 we will be increasing our Wedding Videography prices. This is a result of our continuing investment in equipment and expanding the area that we now cover.
As of 1st January 2009 our prices will be as follows;
Dream Package - 10 hours coverage : £1,295
Simple Package - 7 hours coverage : £995
The features of the Simple package will remain the same. Each package still includes great value with 10 hours or 7 hours coverage, starting and finishing when you choose. We can film anything you want during your day, so unlike others we do not charge extra for guest interviews or special requests. It’s your day! We don’t even mind staying that little bit longer sometimes, if the party’s really on!
The good news is if you book now for 2009 with a deposit of just £180 you will pay 2008 prices!
UPDATE: We will also be making a ground breaking change to our Dream package. For all bookings taken after the 1st Jan 2009 we will be including 10 copies of your wedding DVD!
We see a lot of visits each day to our site and blog, some are new but we also get quite a few returning visitors. And this makes us wonder… Who are you? ? Why would you keep coming back?
So we have come up with this little poll. Its totally anonymous but feel free to leave us some comments. Let us know why you visited us today. If you are a bride/groom who is looking for a videographer then leave us a comment and tell us what you like, what you dont like or what you would like to see.
Why did you visit us today?

Loading ...We always have fun at a wedding but Jez and Cat just raised the bar. The new Mr and Mrs Parfitt had a wedding packed full of laughs and smiles right from the rehearsal to the moment we parted.
They had lollypops for the kids (and me), a highly entertaining toastmaster (Steve Morey), two best men and the longest speeches EVER! The DJ was also playing all the right songs to get the dance floor going.
We hope their highlights show just how wondeful their day was.
For any friends and family wishing to purchase a copy of the final DVD please do so via the happy couple themselves.

We often see couple who are in love (it does help on your wedding day) but saw something extra special between Lorraine and Paul Currie. While editing we see a lot of footage but need to find those special moments, those little looks the couple give each other and for Lorraine and Paul these were not hard to find.
We had the pleasure of delivering their final DVD’s this week and here is what the happy couple had to say;
“Well, where do we start ? Well by saying a massive thank you would probably be a good place!
