As your wedding day is a momentous occasion that you will want to remember forever, the task of recording the big day needs to be given to a person of high integrity capable of enduring the pressures of capturing the perfect moment and encapsulating the atmosphere within the four corners of a screen.

How to describe how White Oak Media works. Discreetly and respectfully they operate, capturing the joy and passion displayed by the happy couple and their wedding guests, White Oak Media uses traditional and modern videography procedures to perfectly record the day.

An expertly tailored service, the packages available from White Oak Media are suitable for a wide range of occasions and nearly every venue imaginable!

Making the most of cinematic photography and natural light to create the perfect visual experience, White Oak Media use multiple cameras, a DJI drone, and gimbal stabilisers to capture all of the footage used in the final edits, guaranteeing memorable moments can be shared with everyone, even those unable to attend.

To make the finished products even more incredible, White Oak Media invite their customers to choose their own music for use within the video, with a large selection of songs available upon request.

As a fellow creative within the wedding industry, Kris knows the desire and drive it takes to provide a high-quality service, a desire and drive Kris has seen displayed by White Oak Media at each and every event he has had the pleasure of working at alongside them.

It is for this reason that Kris sat down with the White Oak Media team in order to find out more about the fantastic services they provide!

Up close and personal

How did you become a wedding Videographer?

We had our own wedding filmed thirty years ago and we have watched it hundreds of times. I wanted to create the same thing for other married couples. I have always carried a camera around with me since 16 years of age. I love filming things and taking photographs. Weddings are a fantastic event not just to attend but also to capture. Plus I love wedding cake!

What would you say can be the biggest challenge of the wedding day for you as the videographer?

There are so many things that happen only once on a couples wedding day. The vows, confetti throw, the smiles, the hugs and kisses.The biggest challenge is to capture as much as possible. That’s why I prefer to shoot with an extra camera operator. Less chance of missing something.

What makes White Oak stand out from its competitors?

We film and produce in 4K resolution. Our 4K USB footage looks AMAZING! We also edit our footage to the couples favourite music tracks which makes for a more personalised film.

How can couples go about booking your services? How far in advance should they book?

A fifty pounds deposit secures your chosen date. We do offer free home or video consultation which is really an informal chat. Book as far in advance as possible as we only film a certain number of weddings per month.

What advice would you give to those planning a wedding and looking to hire any Wedding Videographer?

Please, please capture your special day if possible. I hear that many couples say that they wished they wished they would have had their day filmed.

Is there anything that you’d like to mention about your services or the wedding hire process that many people may not consider?

Music choices is a big part of the booking process that couples often struggle with. It’s ideal if customers can give me a big list of songs. That way I can best match songs to suit the footage.

What has been your favourite moment of the wedding day?

There are so many but I do love to see the bride in her dress after getting ready and dad’s reaction. Also when the groom first sees his partner as they walk down the aisle.

We have been friends for a while and I’ve never seen you dance. What track would get you up on that dancefloor? 

Abba’s Dancing Queen. Over the years I have perfected the art of dancing whilst filming. I love the first few dances after the married couple’s first dance!

Looking for more ideas have you thought about your nighttime DJ you need to find one who can get the dancefloor moving. A big one have you chosen your venue? You want the venue that fits you and fits the guest numbers you have planned… A wedding venue I personally love visiting is Manor Hill House.
