FAQ

What areas do you cover?

We are based in Glasgow and film the weddings mainly in Scotland but will pretty much travel anywhere.

What is the booking process?

Contact us and check our availability first via our website or email us at hello@utopiafilms.co.uk. If we are free on your wedding day and you would like to book us, we will email you our booking form and details on how to make a booking fee/deposit to secure our services.

How much is the booking fee/deposit?

We ask for a minimum £250 booking fee to secure the date. The booking deposit comes from the overall cost of our service. Our wedding videography services are secured when the booking fee is paid. We take payments via Bank Transfer. The remaining (final) balance is due four weeks before the date of your wedding (unless stated differently in our booking form or on the invoice).

What is next?

About fife weeks before your wedding day, we will email you a form with the details we need from you regarding your wedding timetable. We always try to meet up with our couples nearer the wedding day and have a wee chat.

How do you work on a day?

Most of the time we work together as we love shooting the weddings together. Some small and intimate weddings do not require a presence of two videographers, and one is enough. We want to capture your wedding in the unobtrusive way and let you enjoy the day with your friends and family.

What equipment do you use?

The cameras we use are modern and light to allow us to blend in with your guests and catch the moments. We try to work with the minimal equipment on a day and we might use handheld cameras as well. We record in 4K/HD. Documenting the wedding day is not only about the image but also the sound. We use the top-quality audio devices that are ridiculously small.

Are you insured?

Yes, we are, and we highly recommend that each couple take on the wedding insurance.

How long does it take to finish our wedding film?

The average waiting time is between 9-14 weeks. The final turnaround time depends on how many weddings we have in the queue. The turnaround time will not exceed 24 weeks which is guaranteed by our contract/booking form. Should you require an express turnaround, please get in touch!

How will you edit our feature wedding film?

The main feature will be about 20-25 minutes long edited in an artistic and creative way to show the story of your wedding day and you as a couple. The Film will have snippets from your ceremony (i.e. vows) and from your speeches. In addition to the main feature, you will also receive the short highlights clip. If you have booked our Package 2 – LOVE & LAUGHTER – you will not only receive the 20 minutes long feature film and the highlights clip, but also the full ceremony and the full speeches edited separately. The videos are entertaining and exciting to watch! We spend countless of hours working on each wedding film, crafting a top- quality film that takes you on an emotional journey.

How you deliver the wedding videos?

All videos are delivered in full HD quality on the USB in our ‘Utopia Films’ box. If you wish to order the disc copies, we strongly recommend going with the Blu-rays as the videos won’t have to be compressed down so much to fit on the disc.

Can I pick my music for the wedding film?

Sure! We will ask you to email us songs or the type of music you like and enjoy. Highlights video clips/online trailers or videos will have music chosen by us from the music we are able to license and purchase online.
