FAQs
- 001Who are you and what do you do?
My name is Josh, and I live on Sydney's northern beaches with my wife and two kids. I have been working as a full time wedding videographer for 14 years. Since the birth of Joyride, I have filmed weddings all over Australia and have traveled to destinations such as Italy, France, Greece, Thailand, America, New Zealand & Indonesia.
- 002What can we expect on the day?
I aim to be unobtrusive in my approach. In my opinion blending into the background allows me to capture the day authentically, and produces the best results.
- 003When will we receive our videos?
I try my best to provide a quick turn around time. I am a one man team who does all post production in house, and comletely AI free. All of your footage is processed and edited by myself. Most of my films are edited and delivered 12–16 weeks from your wedding date.
Please note I shoot with both super 8 and 16mm film which has to be posted to our film lab in Melbourne, processed and returned — a process which takes roughly 4–6 weeks in itself. My films are then highly edited: culling through audio and footage, cutting it all together, adding music, colour grading, adding effects and mixing the audio, then exporting and delivering.
- 004Can you explain your packages?
I offer two main package types, which I split into Premium and Basic Packages. These are then categorised into different hourly rates.
Premium Packages — Along with your highlight films, the Premium Package includes full coverage edits of both Speeches and Ceremony, with audio recorded of each to be used within the edits as well.
Basic Packages — Just the highlights. Basic Packages are more cost effective but do not include full coverage of Speeches and Ceremony, and audio is not recorded of vows and speeches. However this allows me to shoot much more freely and creatively on the day without having to set up tripods and audio equipment.
