Rogers & Co.

Very easy, casual, light-hearted! We let the photographer run the show and with a creative direction here and there, we capture the candid, intimate moments that happen naturally. We don’t use lots of gear that’ll get in the way, it’s just us with our cameras disappearing into the background, Like well dressed Ninjas 

Lots of people have different definitions, but for us, cinematographers are more highly trained and experienced in the artistic side of filming than videographers. Videographers are self-taught. They know a bit about cameras so they’ve found a way to make a living videoing people. Cinematographers are trained and have been mentored by very experienced veterans of the film world. Videographers simply capture the wedding, whereas cinematographers will use their knowledge of framing, lighting, colour, and movement to add depth to your film and bring an emotional connotation to every shot. With a cinematographer you’re not just paying for the camera, you’re paying for the artistic ability.

We’re not just people who’ve picked up a camera and taught ourselves to make wedding videos because we thought it’d be a good business. We’re filmmakers who’ve trained at some of the top film schools and gained experience on feature films and TV shows. We’ll go the extra kilometer and make sure your film is unique to you. Most wedding companies hire others to edit their film and pay them minimum wage to do it or outsource to India. They pay a team to do your film for half the price they’re charging you and they pocket the rest. This leaves no room to spend an extra day making the film just that little bit better. All our editing is done in house and we take very little profit. This way we can afford the best editors in the industry and allow them to take their time in making your film perfect without charging you more. Because we’re not in this to get rich off brides, we’re in this because we love making films and we’re hopeless romantics.

A good wedding video is all about the edit. A lot of companies use lots of fancy gear to give the illusion of quality, yet at the end of the day, their films look like they were made by a toaster. A good filmmaker could make a great wedding film even if they were shooting on their phone. A good film will tell you the story of the day in a way that makes you feel like you’re there. It’ll make you cry, make you laugh, make your heart skip a beat and won’t for a second feel staged. When looking at wedding filmmakers, choose the ones whose films tell you a story, make you feel something and don’t all look the same.
