Frequently Asked Questions

I am based in Newcastle Upon Tyne and happy to travel within the North East of England. Travel expenses are included within the pricing for the package.

For any travel outside the North East of England, then travel expenses and accommodation would be required.

Please complete the form to make an enquiry and we can have a quick chat around availability for your Wedding date, and then move onto a free consultation to discuss your needs.

My availability depends on capacity and bookings. Usually weekdays are fine, but weekends will need to be checked in the initial chat after placing an enquiry.

Of course! As long as there is availability at the time and enough time to get a free consultation in first then I can be agile enough to capture your big day.

Yes a 50% non-refundable deposit is required, with the final balance expected up to 7 days prior to the wedding day.

Your time initially. We need to have a consultation or discussion about the plan for the day, the location, how you see it unfolding and what the timings should be like.
I will provide a list of requirements once the booking is in place, but it’s just a simple questionnaire with some details I will need to make my job easier and your big day the best it can be on film.

Unless I am hospitalised, I will be there! (Man flu does not affect me). Joking aside, I have other contacts who will be willing to take on the project of capturing the day for you.

Depending on the plan for the day and where I need to be to capture the start of your ‘HitchStory’ will inform the starting time. But usually I require time for equipment check and setup before shooting so as early as I can be. This isn’t just about the ceremony, it’s your whole day.

My wife is a photographer. We have worked together for a while now on events commercially. I understand the importance of your photos, being like a ninja and look to be out of sight as much as possible.

Yes, I aim to capture as much as my SD cards and batteries will allow me, including audio, speeches and even some interviews or behind the scenes chitter chatter that can be weaved into your film and tell the story of your big day.
I hate missing anything, especially of importance.

Just roll with it. Nothing you can do about weather change and I come prepared for anything out of the ordinary. As I am a creative person there are always ways and means to turn something negative into a positive.

Well, I will be there for your full day, and would appreciate some refreshments, and while I’m not expecting any of your wedding breakfast or a seat at the table, I would love to share your enjoyment and sample some of your wedding cake to take home – my wife loves cake! 
I will bring some snacks and drink for myself but a sandwich or something for lunch would be enough.

I specialise in an unstaged vlogumentary style, discreetly capturing the genuine emotions and moments of your special day in stunning 4K.
I produce an emotionally engaging 30-minute film that artfully combines heartfelt laughter, joyful tears, and memorable interactions. Your wedding film will be a raw but polished, cinematic narrative that truly reflects the essence of your big day.

Yes as a licenced drone operator I can and will try to provide and capture aerial footage if conditions are right. Weather conditions must be right for drone flying on the day (no rain or little wind), but also no restrictions in the airspace on location.

Smart, but not wedding attire so not to be mistaken for a member of your wedding party. I may wear comfortable but smart trainers to allow me to be more ninja like moving around a lot.

You can share any big moments you want me to look out for, but typically I will look to capture most big moments anyways – unless of course there are any surprises i’m not aware of.
While I do not take shot lists due to the vlogumentary unstaged style of the video
I will do my best to look out for the big moments. But unless there is a second shooter on location I cannot 100% guarantee the capture of everything.
