Cinematographer but not videographer?
In a world full of various kinds of vendors, it can be overwhelming. Which videographer do you pick? You don’t want to make a mistake. Thankfully, if you’re reading this, the answer is simple. JKP Celebrations is the ideal choice, and here is why:
- Experienced in Wedding Storytelling: With over 150 weddings filmed, JKP Celebrations understands the art of getting it right once. During a wedding, you often only get one chance to get it right. The first look, walking down the aisle, kissing at the ceremony, first dance, and much more. You can rest easy to know that JKP Celebrations will capture all your major moments effortlessly.
- Cinematic Craftsmanship: JKP Celebrations doesn’t just film your entire wedding day, their film tells the original story of how this wedding came to be. From the tone to perspective to music, your love story is perfectly displayed. Having a background in narrative film gives JKP Celebrations the edge over other video creators.
- Personalized Approach: JKP Celebrations offers a free consultation, in the beginning, to understand each couple to their core. As the wedding approaches, pre-production is taken very seriously so everyone is informed on the vision and how to achieve the outcome. Rest assured, before the wedding day begins, the film is already completed in a metaphorical sense. Now it is up to JKP Celebrations to bring that dream to life.
- Professionalism You Can Count On: Peace of mind is JKP Celebration’s favorite phrase. Getting to the wedding day over an hour early for set up is not part of the schedule and is not charged by any means. This is just to make sure the team is ready to go whenever the official timer begins. The gear used on set assures that audio is never clipped, nothing is unusable, and the team can communicate with professional headsets without disturbing anyone. We are all ninjas of stress-free cinema.
- Exceptional Quality: Utilizing state-of-the-art camera equipment, filmed in gorgeous 4K resolution, everything looks incredible during and after the day is completed. Anyone working with JKP Celebrations always gets what they want in the flexibility that today’s tech provides. Over 50 5-star reviews and counting, the proof is in the pudding.
What is the Difference Between a Wedding Film and a Wedding Video?
The difference lies between the skills of a videographer and a cinematographer. There is a major reason as to why JKP Celebrations classifies themselves as cinematographers and not videographers. Storytelling and production quality mark the first differences:
- Wedding Video (Videographer): This is usually a person hired randomly by some company. They don’t really talk to the couple much, so there is disconnection there. They film the wedding day with “baked in colors”, lacking the creative spark. They usually don’t have assistance to capture creative angles and are often lazy by doing the bare minimum. The audio quality is choppy or you hear background noise. Finally, the end product video is not at all what the couples hoped for. All in all, videographers are good for vlogging but not good for weddings.
- Wedding Film (Cinematographer): A film with a vision, a style, and a creative twist. Want a type of color style? You got it! Warm, cool, black and white, etc. The sky is the limit. Combining cinematic techniques, specialized editing, and, most importantly, bringing your story to new, meaningful parts of your day. This film is as if you’re going to the movies, and the entire audience is your loved ones.
JKP Celebrations specializes in crafting wedding films that go beyond simple documentation to create an unforgettable experience you’ll cherish for years to come.
What Comes in a Wedding Film?
A wedding film by JKP Celebrations is designed to capture the essence of your day and includes:
- Highlight Reel: A beautiful edited final work of your once-in-a-lifetime day, ranging from 2 – 10 minutes. Perfect for sharing on social media.
- Full Ceremony: One of the peak moments of your wedding day, professionally captured and ensured to be rewatched over and over for the rest of time with the same emotions you experienced.
- Reception Coverage: Major highlights including speeches, dances, and all guest interactions.
- Drone Footage: It’s not just the roof of your venue, drone shots add a stunning visual element. Showcasing the place you booked in gorgeous new ways. Landscapes, creative shots with your bridal party, or just the two of you. If it’s hot, it also acts as an amazing portable AC unit.
- Custom Features: Have you ever heard of timecode? It’s a very useful piece of gear used on major film sets. Timecode lets multiple cameras be recorded all at once to easily sync up in post-production. What does this mean? It means you get your finished wedding video much sooner than others.
How Long Does a Wedding Film Take?
At JKP Celebrations, quality is never rushed. Here’s what you can expect for delivery timelines:

A final video consists of meticulous editing, color grading, and sound enhancements to ensure every detail is perfect.
