Can you work with a photographer?
No problems at all. We will always allow the photographer to take the lead in organising the shots that he or she requires. Stills are not so important to us and as we generally film from a far greater distance we generally don’t get in the way. We are also very friendly!
Do I have to provide the videographer with a meal?
If the videographer has been requested to stay beyond 1900 hrs then it would be appreciated if you can provide a suppliers "main" meal. Please chat to your venue or catering provider as generally suppliers meals are free or at reduced rate.
Do you hold insurance?
As professional videographers we hold full insurance and will provide you full details of the same to provide to your venue. Insurance includes DRONE, PUBLIC LIABILTY AND PROFESSIONAL INDEMNITY
Do you have a formal contract?
Yes a formal contract will be issued to you prior to any retainer being paid. Only once we both sign will any fees become payable. The contract outlines the price you will pay and the services that have been agreed.
How do I book?
Simply contact us with the date of your big day. We will send out a full Wedding contract and a couple’s questionnaire which can be signed digitally. Once we have these returned, we will request a £250 retainer which will hold your date. The retainer offsets your final balance which will become due around four weeks prior to your day.
Can you see samples of your work?
We'd love you to - we are proud of what we do. Example films are available from the link below.

Drone is included in the price will I get a refund if the drone cannot fly?
Our Drone has always been included in our price and we will always look to fly however, on occasions, weather, venue restrictions or no fly areas will prohibit the flight. We do not offer partial refunds under these circumstances and this is explained in our contract.
How is my film delivered?
Your films will be delivered digitally and a bespoke USB will be forwarded to the address given to us.
How long will my film be?
If you have ordered the Highlight and Teaser Package, they will be a between 5 - 8 minutes for the highlight and 1 minute for the teaser. Extended cuts are dependent on the length of the service OR speeches. In general, though this will normally be upwards of 40 minutes plus.
How soon after the wedding will I get my film?
Throughout the wedding season during the spring and summer months we are normally busy. We aim to get your highlight video to you within 18 weeks and the full film in 20 weeks although we often deliver earlier. This may be extended in busy periods - feel free to ask on booking and we will be open with you.
Quality is important to us and we would always prefer to make sure your wedding film is perfect. We fully understand that you will be longing to see the finished film but would ask that you allow us time to give the care and attention to your film that it deserves.
I want to use a popular chart song in my film is this allowed?
The use of commercial music will fall under copyright law and their use online is generally very expensive. Powerhouse Videos can licence music for OFFLINE use through the PRS (Performing Rights Society). We licence ALL of your ONLINE films using Royalty free licences which we obtain on your behalf. The above licences are included in our pricing.
There are aspects of filming that I feel uncomfortable with how do you deal with that?
Just let us know - we are so used to dealing with couples and fully understand that some may feel nervous or worried about being filmed. We will ensure that you are relaxed and we will work together to record those magical moments.
Will you capture everything?
We will certainly do our level best to cover every part of your wedding day. Sometimes there will be circumstances out of our control that may restrict or hamper filming i.e. Outside venue with Roadworks nearby, heavy rain or perhaps the videographer is between tasks and cannot cover two areas at once. Churches often have their own regulations to which we have to abide and it is often advisable to check with the church office on possible restrictions for both videography and photography. Churches often have restricted views - we will do our best to gather the entire ceremony however sometimes the church may impose restrictions that may restrict that.
Please note that throughout the winter filming hours externally may be reduced due to the light and that this may affect the level of film content - please bear this in mind when booking.
