FAQ
Q. Can you tell us a more about Hatch.. ?
A.Hello and welcome. My name is Paul McAuley. Over the past eight years I've been honoured to film weddings for couples across Northern Ireland, ROI and other parts of Europe. I choose to shoot weddings using a simple stripped back approach. Using small handheld cameras (like your Photograher) I'm able to blend in and capture lots of little moments as your day unfolds naturally, while remaining in the background as much as possible. When it comes to editing my aim is to tell the story of your day in the best possible way. Nothing delights me more than delivering something that I know you will love and treasure for a lifetime.
Q. Can you tell me more about the packages you offer?
A. The Packages I offer are flexible and can be tailored to your requirements. I have one main package for weddings which is flexible to suit your requirements. I've also a range of package options for Elopements and small intimate weddings. Please contact for more details.
Q. Can you provide the full ceremony & speeches?
A. I normally provide a full length Vows and Speeches video With Audio to watch as it happened on the day. If you’d like the entire ceremony filmed from start to finish I 'd need to add
a second videographer to your package at an additional cost.
Q. Will there be we one or two videographers on the day ?
A. I like working alone as it keeps the footprint on your wedding day to a minimum. If you're planning a large wedding with over 200 guests or would like additional coverage I can add a second shooter to your package at an additional cost. Please contact for details and costs.
Q. Can you film both parties getting ready?
A. I normally cover bridal preparations at your home or venue of choice then get to the ceremony venue 30-40 minutes before it starts to capture the groom and guests arriving, so things are nicely balanced between the bride and groom on the morning of their wedding. If both parties are getting ready at the same location I can cover both bride and groom preparations no problem.
Q. Do you provide packages for Elopements / Destination Weddings?
A. Yes, absolutely! Packages are tailored to your requirements. Please contact to check availability on your date and discuss your options.
Q. Who chooses the music?
A. Music is at the heart of my work so ultimately I choose the music. I only use licensed music which means you can share your video online without copyright infringements.
Q. Do you always overlay speeches on the highlights videos?
A. No. I believe each wedding is different and every wedding film should be too. I may include a few words from the vows or speeches in your cinematic short story but it really depends on what was said on the day and your personal preference.
Q. Do we need to meet before our big day?
A. While I'd love to meet in person prior to your big day, it's not practical or necessary. I'm always emailing back on forth with couples from the initial contact stage right through until completion. I always arrange a call with couples prior to their wedding to confirm all the details for their day.
Q. Is there a deposit required?
A. Yes, there is a deposit payment of £300 required to secure your date.
Q. How do we book?
A. The first thing to do is check availability on your date. Booking forms are completed online via this website using a private link.
I hope this answers some of your questions for now. If there’s anything we've missed please feel free to reach out and ask.
