Frequently asked questions
General
The cost of wedding videography in Melbourne can vary depending on the number of hours of coverage, the number of videographers, the length of your finished wedding film and whether you would like additional footage such as your full ceremony or speeches.Something Blue offers different wedding videography packages so couples can choose the level of coverage that suits their day and budget.
Wedding videography packages can include coverage of your wedding day, professional audio recording, multiple cameras, a cinematic highlight film and additional edits of important moments such as your ceremony and speeches.Our packages range from shorter wedding coverage through to full day videography, with options including two videographers, highlight films, full ceremony footage, speeches and teaser videos.
This depends on which parts of your wedding day you want captured.Seven hours can work well if you want the key parts of the day filmed, while ten hours gives your videographer more time to capture everything from getting ready through to the celebrations at your reception.When choosing your coverage, think about the moments you would want to watch again in five, ten or even thirty years.
Not every wedding needs two videographers, but having two shooters can make a significant difference.Two videographers can capture different perspectives at the same time. For example, one can film a bride or groom walking down the aisle while the other captures their partner's reaction.It also allows us to capture more candid moments throughout the day without constantly moving between locations.
Wedding photography captures individual moments as still images, while wedding videography captures movement, voices, music and emotion as they happen.Your photos might capture your partner's face during the vows. Your wedding video lets you hear the vows again.For many couples, having both photography and videography provides the most complete way to remember their wedding day.
A wedding videographer and a wedding content creator both capture your wedding day, but they create very different types of content.A wedding videographer uses professional cameras, audio equipment and editing to create a polished wedding film that tells the story of your day. This can include your vows, speeches, ceremony, first dance and all the little moments in between, captured with high quality video and audio that you can look back on for years to come.A wedding content creator generally focuses on short form, social media ready content, often filmed vertically on a phone. The aim is usually to capture behind the scenes moments and create photos and short videos that can be shared quickly on platforms such as Instagram and TikTok.You don't necessarily have to choose between the two. They can complement each other depending on what you want from your wedding coverage.If you want a professionally filmed keepsake that captures the story, sound and emotion of your wedding day, wedding videography is designed for that. If your priority is having lots of casual, social media ready content to share straight away, wedding content creation may also be worth considering.
Photography and videography capture your wedding in very different ways.A photographer gives you beautiful still images, while a videographer records the movement, voices, reactions and atmosphere surrounding those moments.Wedding videography can preserve things photographs cannot, such as your vows, speeches, laughter, music and the voices of the people celebrating with you.
It is worth enquiring as soon as you have your wedding date and venue confirmed.Popular Melbourne wedding dates, particularly Saturdays during peak wedding seasons, can book well in advance.Booking early also gives you more choice when selecting your wedding videographer rather than trying to find someone who is still available closer to your date.
Many couples book their wedding videographer around 12 to 18 months before their wedding, although there is no set rule.If your wedding is during a popular time of year or on a Saturday, enquiring earlier can give you a better chance of securing your preferred videographer.If your wedding is coming up sooner, it is still worth asking. We may have your date available.

Not constantly.Most couples aren't used to having cameras following them around, so feeling slightly nervous about wedding videography is completely normal.Our approach is relaxed. We will give you direction when it helps, but we also spend plenty of time simply capturing what is happening naturally.The goal is for your wedding film to feel like you, not like a performance.
Depending on your chosen coverage, wedding videography can include getting ready, venue details, your ceremony, vows, family and bridal party moments, couple portraits, reception entrance, speeches, cake cutting, first dance and celebrations.We also look for the moments happening between the planned parts of your day.A hug from a grandparent, your parents watching the ceremony, your bridal party laughing together or the reaction of someone hearing a speech can become some of the most meaningful footage in your finished wedding film.
