The How-To Guide

Filming the weekend, simply.

The whole rawframes process, from the box on your doorstep to the final film in your inbox - written for someone who has never picked up a camcorder before.

Phase I

Before the wedding

01

Book your package

Choose the package that suits your wedding, add anything extra you'd like, and confirm your dates. Once you're booked, we'll take care of getting everything ready.

Do this as early as possible
02

Receive your kit

Your rawframes kit arrives at your door in the days leading up to your wedding. Inside, you'll find your camcorder, batteries, charger, memory card, instructions, and a little inspiration to help your guests know what to capture.

You will receive this 3 days before the event
03

Do a quick test run

Before the wedding, take a minute to try the camcorder. Turn it on, press record, film a few seconds, and get comfortable with how it works. Simple.

Phase II

The weekend itself

Hands off, mostly

04

Choose your camera crew

Choose a few loved ones to help capture the moments you don't want missed — the friend getting ready with you, the cousin near the speeches, the brother on the dance floor. The included shot list helps cover the important bits, while the camcorder can still be passed around naturally as the weekend unfolds.

05
The most important step

Capture the weekend

Record the real stuff: getting ready, vows, speeches, hugs, dance floor chaos, quiet in-betweens, late-night laughs, and everything around the edges. It does not need to be perfect — the magic is in the footage feeling honest, personal, and completely yours.

All weekend
Aim for 90+ minutes of raw footage

Phase III

After it's over

Your part is done

06

Ship it back

After the wedding, pack everything back into the original box and send it back using the prepaid return packaging.

We edit the footage

Once your kit is back with us, we download the footage, organise the raw files, and begin the edit. Your finished film is delivered digitally within 4–6 weeks.

4–6 weeks
You receive: finished film + raw footage library
08

Watch it all back

Pour a drink, get comfortable, and relive the day through the eyes of the people who were right there with you — the real moments, the messy moments, and the ones you didn't even know were being filmed.
