Dear couples, I've put together some useful information about wedding filming.
We like to make films that every generation enjoys, from the youngest guests to the oldest. My short films are dynamically edited, but only to the point where you can still follow, understand and love them. In post-production we use vivid, natural colours.
After 3 years of filming as a hobby, I stumbled into the world of wedding films in 2017, still as a kid and with a phone, at my cousin's wedding here in Debrecen. Since then I've filmed 250+ weddings as lead or second camera operator. Since 2022 we've worked as a team. 2026 was my eighth full season.
Yes, on the Wedding films page you'll find some recent work from the last 2-3 years. I usually publish each year's work at the end of the year.
Yes, you can decide on how long I'm with you, the rough length of the edited videos, the colour grading, the music, the effects, an additional camera operator and much more.
I'm with you until 1 am. By then the bride's and groom's dances, the conga line and the rest have usually taken place. I can also stay on after 1 am, at 20,000 HUF per started hour.
Doing both as one person doesn't work for me, but if you ask, I can recommend nearly 10 photographers in different price ranges. As a videographer I work with a different photographer week after week, and I can see better than most who really knows their craft. So I can point you towards a quality photographer who offers good value, and the choice is yours: it's easier to decide between 7-8 photographers than from 100 Facebook comments.
Yes, I ask every couple for a 50,000 HUF deposit.
I take the deposit at our in-person meeting, in cash, by card or by bank transfer. For transfers, payment is due within 1 week. The bank details are on the contract and on the invoices. If the transfer doesn't arrive, the date goes to another couple. The remaining balance can be paid on the wedding day, in cash, by card or by bank transfer.
I don't expect it, and I usually have change on me. If you're happy, the best tip for me and the other vendors is a few lines about us in the wedding vendor groups, or a review. You can review me on Google Maps. 🙂
The sooner the better: paying the deposit secures your date.
A few days before the wedding I like to catch up with couples by chat or phone, usually between Monday and Wednesday, during the day or in the afternoon.
Yes, I sign a contract with every couple. I'm happy to send you a sample by email or Messenger.
At the start of the season, around April and May, a Highlights short film or a long film can be ready in as little as 1-2 weeks. The contract states a 1-month deadline if you order 1 short film or 1 long film, and we do our best to keep to it even in the busiest summer peak season. For 2-3 films of different lengths the deadline can be 2-3 months, but we don't hand everything over at the very end: as soon as the first film is ready, which can be within 2-3 weeks, we send it straight to you.
We deliver the edited films via the cloud (Google Drive). They're usually available to download for 1 month. If you happen to miss the window, I can upload them again once, within a certain period.
I keep the raw footage for a further 1 month after the edited films are delivered, the edited long films for 3 months and the short Highlights films for 1 year.
We can remove or swap individual shots, frames or effects in the short film and the long film, and we can also change the size, font and colour of the text. Please don't send corrections one by one: think them through carefully and list them in one document with timecodes, or even screenshots. You can request corrections twice within 1 month of delivery. We can't change the music, because the whole video would have to be re-edited. That's why you're welcome to request music that's close to your hearts, before or after the wedding.
Yes, after the wedding I'm happy to copy the footage onto an external SSD that you provide.
I can only copy the raw footage onto a Samsung T5 / T7 / T7 Shield SSD. These work with Mac, Windows and Android, and with TVs too, copying is fast, and 4K videos play back smoothly. A 500 GB drive has room for your wedding photos as well. It's worth buying two, or copying the first one to a second location, so that if one gets lost or has a glass of water spilt on it, you still have a backup. I'm happy to help with the purchase, and if it doesn't arrive in time, I can give you an address or parcel locker where I'll collect it.
I show finished videos (e.g. Highlights short film, first dance, Creative short film) on my website, because that's how I can show my style to future couples. A lot of new bookings come in thanks to them. If you'd rather no video of you is published, we can cover this in the contract, or if you decide later, just let me know by phone, email or Messenger and I'll take it down.
You'll find the full list on the About page, in the Equipment section.
Yes, I arrive on the big day with several cameras, drones, batteries, SD cards and microphones.
For nearer venues I plan to arrive 1-2 hours before filming starts, so I'm there on time even if something is delayed. If I'm working further afield in Hungary or abroad, I arrive the day before to avoid any traffic problems on the day.
If the wedding venue is within 2 hours of Debrecen, I don't need accommodation. For venues further away, after a 12-14 hour day ending around 1-2 am, resting near the venue may be the best option rather than driving.
In my own car, or together with the photographer.
Luckily, no.
Feel free to get in touch through any of my contact details. Happy wedding planning!
