Absolutely! We want your wedding video to reflect your style and personality as much as possible, and music is a key part of that. However, please note that since this is commercial work, we need to obtain the necessary copyright licenses for any music used. But don't worry, we have a large library of music to choose from and can help you select the perfect track that fits your style and preferences.

You most definitely can choose your own music for your wedding, however beware that if you attempt to live stream using Youtube or Facebook  to stream your wedding it is quite possible that the stream will be cut mid way through if any music is played that is copyrighted. With our private platform that does not happen. Youtube and facebook can detect if copyright music is being played and can cut the sound or the whole stream all together.

Yes, but if you want to publish your wedding film on social media you could have copyright issues.

A good way to avoid this is to find cover versions of the songs you like.

As we feel this is much of our creative power, you may request certain styles of music, which we will try to find similar tracks too. Ultimately though, we feel the music we choose will give you the most enotional film you can imagine. The reason is simple, When we film your day, we choose certain ways of capturing the event. We then create a story of your day. If we were to use music that does not complete the emotion or doesnt fit properly, we feel your film will not be completed. That is why we choose every song specific to that portion of the video. When we want you to experience something poetic in places that need emotion, while we choose something faster that will give your dance that oomph! When we need something classy, our choice will be something surprising. We can assure you, our choice in our songs will be enlightening....

I provide a form for my clients to provide me with a list of music to be included in the final product with preferences to which song to use on their highlight film or creative short film. 

Something to be aware of is that often when clips are shared online, algorithms will detect if a copyright protected song has been used and this may flag it for review. YouTube is notorious for this while Vimeo has been more lenient over the years. Facebook can flag copyright protected song too. Theres also a variety of music licensing services out there which provides good quality music for online use. You generally have more freedom on videos for private use as they are not in the public arena, therefore your choices are virtually limitless for song choice.
