Wedding Highlights

A popular and most common, 3-5 minute video capturing the most exiciting events and moments of the day. You would be amazed at all the memories we can capture in this short video. Plus this video is great to share on the web and with family and friends!

 

Documentary Edits

This includes everything we shot during the wedding day in chronological order. It includes parts within the video with music and creative editing, while the rest is some raw footage allowing you to hear and see everything that's going on in that moment. We try to make our Documentary Edits a perfect in-between of music and creative editing while still keeping pretty much all the video we shot during the day included with NO TIME LIMIT. Ask us to send you a sample so you can get a feel for how these are produced.

Below are short samples of Documentary Edits. We included the time stamp in the corner so you can see where in the video the shots are placed. Ask us for a link to check out a full sample.

 

Love Stories

Tired of boring photo slideshows? What better way to show everyone your love with a 3-5 minute video of your personal love story edited with photos in between!  We’d meet you at a special location about 2 months before the big day and shoot video of you two together and interviews of you separately. Its a fun surprise to see the final product debuted at the reception.

 

Engagement/Proposal Video

Are you planning to propose? Want to capture this exciting moment on video? This latest addition to our services involves working with individuals to plan out the best way to capture how they pop the BIG question. We make sure to stay un-noticed so the real emotion and reactions are sure to show.

From booking your big day, to receiving your videos, and everything in between.

We Meet

Send us an email inquiring about our packages. Tell us the day you are planning to get married, the full names of who's getting married, the ceremony and reception venues, and any other details to share and we'll respond back as soon as we can. If you would like to talk over the phone, via skype, or meet up just let us know and we can make arrangements. Once you decide what package is right for you, just let us know and we'll write up a sample contract for you to review. If everything looks good, then sign the contract and send it back with the deposit. Once we've confirmed that the contract and deposit have been received, you are officially booked with Mótus Films! Before the wedding day, we send you information on how to choose music for your video(s), how to plan for the wedding day, and any other tips for you to keep in mind.

We MAKE

So you have booked us for your wedding day and the big day is quickly approaching, what can you expect from Mótus Films? The month before the wedding we touch base with you and confirm our start time and get an itinerary from you on how the day is planning to take place. On the wedding day we arrive and begin to film. We strive to capture real emotion so we'll try to be like "a fly on the wall", so you can feel comfortable and be your self. Our documentary style shooting captures moments as they happen and make for realistic and natural films. We may ask for you to repeat certain actions or maybe adjust for better lighting, but that is pretty much the extent of our direction. We love being able to film details and reactions that couples adore and sometimes miss, only to relive and rediscover later. 

 

We deliver

So the wedding day has come and gone, what now? Once the day is over, we get back to the studio and crank away at the editing process. We back up all the footage we shot that day to make sure nothing gets lost as we work hard on your film(s). Once the final Highlight video that you ordered is ready, we upload it password protected on the internet for your review. Once reviewed and approved  you can share, send, and post to whomever and wherever you like! We'll then get to finishing your Documentary Edit, if ordered, and then sending you a link to it upon completion. The target date for completion and delivery of all final videos is 3 months after the date of the wedding. Most instances, we can deliver before that. We try to make the process as easy as possible and with the best quality and attention to our couples as possible.

 

BEHIND THE SCENES

This Behind the Scenes video shows how we work to capture the best shots for the best wedding videos ever!!!

WHY MOTUS FILMS?
Because we are a boutique style production house, we only do a VERY LIMITED amount of projects each year. That allows us to give personalized attention to each couple.
