Wedding Videography Process

A Seamless Wedding Video Experience

A stress-free videography process designed so you can enjoy your wedding day while I discreetly capture the moments that matter most.

01
Before the wedding

Enquire, choose your package, and lock in your date

Once you reach out, I confirm availability and help you choose the right coverage. Before the day, I run a briefing call to understand what matters most - the moments, the people, the parts of the ceremony you want preserved. That conversation shapes the edit before I pick up a camera.

  • Fast availability check
  • Clear package guidance
  • Simple booking process
02
On the day

Candid, documentary-style wedding videography focused on real moments

On your day, I work calmly and unobtrusively - the same person you spoke to when you booked. I use multiple cameras, professional wireless audio, and drone footage to capture your day without ever making it feel staged or heavy-handed.

  • Multi-camera coverage
  • Discreet vows and speeches audio
  • Drone footage where possible
03
After the wedding

Your film is edited with intention and delivered with a premium finish

After the wedding, the footage is shaped into a story-driven film with careful pacing, polished colour, and audio that feels natural. The goal is a wedding film that you'll rewatch for years to come.

  • Story-first editing
  • Professional colour and sound
  • Private online delivery

Auckland Videographer Reviews

Kind Words From My New Zealand Couples

Read reviews from recently married couples who trusted Joshua Dalton Media with their Auckland wedding videography.

“What could have been a missed opportunity to capture one of the most important days of our lives turned into something unforgettable, all thanks to Josh.”

We couldn't be happier with our wedding film created by Josh! From start to finish, he was super professional, organised, and so easy to work with. He made the entire process feel seamless and took the time to truly understand the key moments that mattered most to us.

We were also so impressed with how quickly he delivered our 14-minute highlight film - and the quality of it truly exceeded our expectations. The final video was beautifully balanced, thoughtfully weaving together our vows, speeches, and key moments in such a meaningful and authentic way.

If you're looking for someone who genuinely knows how to tell your story and can create a wedding film you'll treasure and rewatch for years to come, Josh is the perfect choice. We can't recommend him highly enough :)

We were recommended Joshua via our celebrant, and he was the absolute perfect fit for our big day! From the moment we met Joshua he was professional, relaxed, and made the whole process feel effortless. On the day he blended in so naturally that we hardly noticed the cameras, yet he somehow managed to capture every important moment, all the emotions, and the little details that made the day special.

The guests all said how great he was and didn't make them feel like he was even there. The final video absolutely blew us away. The quality, storytelling, and editing were incredible, it truly feels like we're reliving the day every time we watch it. He captured our amazing day so perfectly!

If you're looking for a videographer who is talented, professional, and genuinely cares about capturing your day perfectly, we can't recommend Joshua highly enough. Thank you for giving us something we'll treasure forever!

Joshua kindly offered his services to us to film our wedding and we were absolutely blown away with the results. He managed to capture some super special moments without us ever knowing he was there and adapted to our ever-changing timeline with ease.

The short film he produced was so creative and perfectly layered in dialogue, music, and key moments from our wedding day. Thank you so much Josh for giving us something we can look back on and cherish forever.

We had a videographer booked for several months leading up to our wedding. Unfortunately, the night before our big day, he contacted us to say he could no longer attend due to equipment issues, which was incredibly stressful at such short notice.

Our photographer recommended we reach out to Josh, and thankfully, despite the last-minute request around midnight the night before, he stepped in without hesitation. From the outset, Josh was clear, professional, and reassuring. He communicated exactly what to expect, outlined the schedule, and made us feel completely at ease.

On the day he was outstanding, capturing every special moment seamlessly, including incredible drone footage that added a unique perspective to our wedding. The final result exceeded all expectations. What could have been a missed opportunity turned into something unforgettable, all thanks to Josh. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a videographer.

Wedding Videographer FAQs

Common Questions About Wedding Videography

Everything you need to know about booking your Auckland wedding videographer, from turnaround times to music licensing and travel.

How do we secure our wedding date?

Your date is secured with a signed agreement and booking retainer. Once those are in place, the date is locked in exclusively for you.

How long will our highlight film be?

Base package highlight films run between 5 and 10 minutes depending on the flow of the day and what matters most. The goal is a story-driven film you'll actually rewatch.

Do you capture full ceremony and speeches?

Yes. Full ceremony and speeches edits are available as separate deliverables, and are professionally mic'd and edited for clean audio and complete coverage.

How do you handle audio?

I use professional wireless lavalier microphones, plus a separate independent recorder running as backup. Every word of the vows is captured clearly. Every speech. I have never lost audio on a wedding day, and I carry backup for every critical piece of gear.

Do you work with our photographer?

Absolutely. I coordinate closely with your photographer so coverage runs smoothly and neither of us compromises the other.

How long is turnaround?

Highlight Films are delivered within 10 weeks of the wedding. Signature Films within 6 weeks. Timelines are confirmed before the day so you know exactly what to expect.

Can we choose the music?

You're welcome to share preferences or artists you like, but copyrighted music can't be included. Final tracks are selected from licensed libraries so your film is legal to share online.

Do you travel for destination weddings?

Yes. While based locally as an Auckland wedding videographer, I can film destination weddings in Queenstown, Tauranga, Waiheke Island, and across New Zealand. Travel costs are quoted transparently upfront.

How do payments work?

Booking is split into two payments. A 50% retainer secures your date - once that and the signed agreement are in place, the date is locked in exclusively for you. The remaining 50% balance is due 7 days before your wedding.

Do your wedding video packages include drone?

Yes, both the Highlight and Signature packages include professional 4K drone footage to capture your Auckland wedding venue from above, weather and airspace regulations permitting.

What if we're awkward on camera?

Most couples say this. My approach is relaxed and unobtrusive, with the focus on natural moments rather than forcing performances.

Can we add extra coverage or raw footage?

Yes. Add-ons like extra edits, content creation, or a FOMO Film can be added either when booking or once your timeline is clearer.

Still unsure about something specific to your day, venue, or timeline?
