What is a feature film? How is this different from a traditional wedding video?
Our feature films are highly-polished 15-25 minute collections that truly tell the story of your wedding day through beautiful imagery and natural sound such as your vows and toasts. Your wedding day is filmed using 35mm DSLR cameras – the same type of professional cameras that your still photographer uses – in order to achieve the cinematic look and feel our films are known for. We understand that at first it may seem like portions of your 8-9 hour wedding day are being cut in order to create a short feature film. We do not leave anything out, but instead spend additional time editing and crafting an authentic film that you will definitely want to watch again and share with friends. We also include a second, fully-edited version of your ceremony as well as all formal dances, toasts and other special moments as bonus features on your final DVD. If you would like to view a full feature film to see just how different your wedding video can be, let us know and we will be happy to share some recent films with you.
Why invest in a quality wedding film? I already have a great photographer to capture my day.
Your wedding day is one of the most celebrated days of your life. We believe that budgeting for an amazing photographer and wedding filmmaker is a necessity and should be one of the top decisions you make when planning your wedding day. You have spent months deciding on each and every detail. Your wedding film will allow you to relive not only the beauty but also the sounds and atmosphere of your special day for a lifetime. Ask any bride and she will agree that the wedding day flies by. Avoid the regret of not having a way to experience your day again by choosing to capture your day on film. And – we work wonderfully with photographers!
What packages do you offer? Can we customize our package to suite our needs?
Our all-inclusive package provides everything needed to create a beautiful wedding film. Up to 7 hours of coverage is included, and additional coverage may be easily added. The package also includes multiple high-definition cameras, your highlights trailer, all bonus features and 3 DVDs. We arrive at least two hours prior to your wedding (often even sooner) to capture bride and groom preparations before the ceremony begins. You may choose to customize your package further by adding any of our optional enhancements such as Blu-ray HD delivery or rehearsal dinner coverage.
How long with it take to receive my final wedding film on DVD?
We believe that you should not have to wait half of a year or longer to receive your final wedding DVDs. We only accept a limited number of weddings each year, allowing us the time to craft your film within 12 weeks without compromising on quality or artistry. We often complete your trailer sooner and can provide it as a ‘sneak-peak’ while putting the final touches on your feature film.
How do we check availability and reserve our date?
Simply complete the contact form or give us a call to check your date. Our booking process is quick and convenient – we will send you a link to your personalized client access page. This page allows you to select your package details, sign the agreement online and make the initial deposit of $500 to reserve your date. Booking is first come, first served.
Who is Atlanta Wedding Productions and who will actually be filming my event?
Atlanta Wedding Productions is a boutique wedding film studio based in Atlanta, GA. All events are shot exclusively by owner Mike Henry as the lead cinematographer and his team of professionals. We never book multiple weddings on the same day having to rely on part-time help to capture your wedding. We officially opened shop in 2000 but have been in love with the art of filmmaking since grade school.
I love your samples, but can we see a full feature film?
Yes! In addition to our real weddings highlights in our gallery, we can provide access to a private gallery with examples of recent full-length films. This allows you to see the difference in our work and know exactly the value of what it is you are investing in. We encourage you to do the same for all vendors that you are considering to get a true comparison of value and quality.
Will your filming of my event be disruptive? I do not want my wedding day to be a production.
Our goal is to capture the genuine moments from your wedding day. Therefore, we do not stage shots or conduct those cheesy interviews some old-school videographers are known for. In fact, most clients mention after their wedding that they did not even notice us, yet loved all of the candid shots that we were able to capture.
Are we able to view our wedding trailer and/or final film on an iPhone, iPad, Android or other mobile device?
Of course. We will be happy to create a mobile version of your wedding trailer and film at no charge. Just let us know if you are interested!
Our wedding will take place outside of Atlanta. Do you travel?
Yes. While we most often work out of the Southeast, we have captured weddings nationwide. Just let us know and we will be happy to put together a customized package that meets your needs.
Do you have vendors you have worked with before that you can recommend?
Absolutely! Check out our list of favorite vendors below. We have personally worked with each and know they will take great care of you!
