A little clarity before the big day

Good questions.
Honest answers.

The films, the day and the practical things you might be wondering about.

Where do you film weddings?

I’m based in County Durham and film across the North East, including Newcastle and Northumberland. I also travel across the UK and for destination weddings. Tell me where you’re planning your day so I can confirm the arrangements.

What does a BLOC collection include?

Every collection includes a Short Film of at least five minutes, your Ceremony Film and your Speeches Film. Ever After adds a Feature Film. Keepsake adds guest messages, a next-day Sneak Peek and a physical keepsake. You can compare the current options on the collections page.

Will you tell us what to do all day?

My approach is documentary led. I want you to enjoy being with your people, rather than spend your wedding performing for a camera. I’ll talk through the practical details beforehand and work alongside your photographer on the day.

What is Kiss Goodnight?

It’s a quiet conversation together towards the end of your wedding. You talk about the day you’ve just lived, while it’s still fresh. Those words can become part of the story in your film.

What is Memory Maker?

It’s a chance for your guests to leave private voice messages without having a camera pointed at them. The result is a collection of familiar voices and personal messages. Guest messages are included with Keepsake.

Can we tell our story before the wedding?

Yes. Pre- or post-wedding interviews give you space to talk about how you met, your proposal and what the wedding means to you. They’re optional, and I can explain how they could fit into your collection.

What if we’re getting married in winter or it rains?

We plan around your ceremony time, daylight and indoor options. The weather becomes part of the day rather than a reason to stop making memories. I’ll work with your venue and photographer to find sensible opportunities without taking you away from your guests for ages.

Do you film the whole ceremony and speeches?

Yes. All three current collections include separate Ceremony and Speeches Films. Let me know about any venue filming restrictions, unusual layouts or speeches spread between courses so I can plan the coverage.

Is drone filming guaranteed?

No. Drone filming depends on the location, permission, airspace, weather and safe operating conditions. Your wedding film is planned to stand on its own, with aerial footage used when it’s suitable.

How do we check availability?

Use the enquiry page to share your date and venue. You can ask to BLOC your date for free while you get to know the films and collections. There’s no payment or obligation at that stage; I’ll contact you first if another couple asks about the same date.

How will we watch our films?

Your finished films are made available through your BLOC films portal, with streaming and download access. Keepsake also includes a physical keepsake. I’ll confirm your delivery schedule and the full details in your booking documents.

Can we talk through the music?

Of course. Music is part of the storytelling, and the finished films use licensed music. Tell me the feeling you love in a film, whether that’s intimate, energetic or somewhere in between, and we can talk through the approach.
