Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. It's natural to want to remember as much of it as possible to show to your family, friends and future generations.

A professionally produced wedding video does more than just record images of that day; it tells the whole story and captures the moments that can't be captured by a photographer -- like the bride walking down the aisle or the couple's first dance. Once you have made the decision to have your wedding videoed you then need to ensure you get the best quality for your money. Being a live event your wedding should be captured with at least two cameras and audio needs to be captured in high quality. The pre-wedding interview needs to be done and the finished product should be personalised for the bridal couple. Wedding videography is a combination of the above and also needs passion, technical skill and experience counts towards the final package.

Hippo Productions offer two core wedding packages with the option of adding additional services as you require.

Our Silver wedding package includes the entire wedding service from the arrival of the guests to the informal photo shoot at the venue.
