Sarkis Films | Wedding Videographer

Frequently asked questions

Why a wedding video?: Your day will go by at lightning speed and there will be so many highlights that you won't be able to remember them all. Photos capture a precise moment and give you frozen memories. Thanks to audio, video lets you relive the highlights of your wedding. What your husband whispered in your ear when he discovered your dress, your parents' and witnesses' speeches, the exchange of vows.... Imagine yourself, in a few years' time, curled up on the sofa (popcorn included), reliving that magical day. Or showing your children just how glamorous mum and dad were on the dance floor!

Why does the price include a second wedding videographer?: I'm convinced of the added value of an additional videographer, which is why the presence of two professionals is systematically included in the standard package (3 hours for the second person). Preparing the bride and groom, the first look, exchanging vows, the best man's speech... There are so many moments to capture from two angles on a wedding day. It's great to be able to be everywhere at once and capture the emotion that arises from all sides.

What justifies the budget?: There are a number of reasons for the substantial price, with each element contributing to the creation of a high-quality end product. I invest in professional quality equipment and spend time getting to know your story and advising you. On site, there are two of us to cover the D-day, being attentive to every moment. Finally, the editing process takes me between 45 and 50 hours. Selecting the best sequences, appropriate music, editing, colour correction... A wedding video is certainly a financial investment, but bear in mind that you are investing in priceless memories. Like a fine wine, your wedding video will increase in value over time.

Can we get the raw footage?: Of course! The "family movie" option gives you all the clips from the day put together (around 3-4 hours of video).

Is it possible to get a longer film?: Naturally! I also give the opportunity to my couples to get a 10 minute film as an add-on. This means moments, speeches, vows and emotions added to your film to give it a deeper story.

Can we choose the music for the film?: No, and for several reasons. Firstly, because the tracks you like to listen to don't necessarily reflect the rhythm and energy of your day. I carefully select the music according to the images, the audio elements and the general mood of your wedding. Also, the music we listen to doesn't generally have a rising phase or climax that builds tension and generates emotion.

However, I am interested in your musical tastes and I take them into account when selecting the music. If you tend to listen to hip hop, rock or pop, this will guide my choices when editing.

In addition, I only use music that is free of copyright via licensing platforms so that I can create films legally, with the agreement of the artists. This allows you to share them easily with your friends, family and on your social networks.

What is your cancellation or refund policy in the event of an unforeseen problem, such as a pandemic?: Rest assured, the contract we sign together protects you in the event of force majeure. The deposit paid remains valid until a new mutually convenient date is set. The rates and conditions that were initially proposed to you remain in force.
