The Full House Wedding Video KitTwo cameras. Two mics. One camera for the guests.
The Full House is The Double with the guests written in. Two Sony 4K UHD camcorders cover the wide shot and the close-up. The clip-on mic kit puts the vows and the toasts in clear sound. And the Camp Snap camera goes hand to hand through the reception, collecting the dance-floor confessionals and messages the camcorders never see. Our studio cuts all of it into one film. $1,129.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Five honest answers about The Full House.
Is hiring a wedding videographer worth the cost?
+
Sometimes — and we say that as a wedding videography studio. If your venue is dim, you care deeply about ceremony audio (broadcast lavalier mics on the officiant + groom), or you want a curated, music-led short film, hire a videographer. The ceremony you only get one chance to record well, and a good crew is worth $4,000–$9,000 for that single hour. The Kit is the right answer for couples who want documentary-feel coverage of the whole weekend — the rehearsal, the speeches, the dance floor — captured by friends who already know them, edited by our studio. Different products, different couples.
What's the difference between hiring a videographer and renting a camera?
+
A hired wedding videographer brings 1–3 trained camera operators, broadcast-grade audio (lavalier mics, shotgun mics, audio recorders on the officiant + groom + DJ), low-light cinema lenses, and a curatorial eye that decides what to show and what to cut. They produce a polished, music-led 5–15 minute film. The Kit is one or two friend-operated 4K camcorders, captured candidly across the weekend, then cut by our editors into a documentary-style short film. The Kit costs $729–$1,249 — a real alternative when budget or vibe leans documentary, not when you need broadcast audio of the vows.
Is this the same studio that makes the cinematic commission films?
+
Yes. The Kit is the budget-conscious counterpart to Shutter & Sound's full commissions. Same editors, same colour palette, same music supervision — just filmed by your people instead of ours.
Do I need video experience to use it?
+
None. The Handycam has clear, plain-English labels on every button. A two-minute test run the day before is all anyone needs. Most of our couples hand it to a cousin with an iPhone-camera instinct and the footage looks beautiful.
When will I receive the edited film?
+
Everything arrives together, three to five weeks after the wedding — your edited film and all your organised raw footage, in one delivery. Same editing cadence as our commissions.
