In twenty years, it’s the voices you’ll want

Most wedding videography is sold as a highlight film: a few minutes of slow motion over a song. The speeches get cut to a line each. Whole ceremonies and full speeches are usually extras, if they’re offered at all.

The Family Record starts from the other end. We record every word clearly and keep it whole. With the roll call, everyone who matters to you gets on camera, from your grandparents to the table at the back. The short film is built from what was actually said.

Every word of our nikkah, kept

Seventy seconds from our own nikkah: the day's own voices, nothing laid over them. Turn the sound on.

Questions couples ask

Will there be music over the vows or the speeches?

No. The ceremony and the speeches come to you as they sounded on the day. The short film is cut to the day’s own sound too, and music only goes in if you ask for it.

We don’t want music at all. Is that OK?

Yes. You can have no music anywhere, a nasheed with voices only, or a track you pick with us. Tell us when you book and every part of the film follows it.

How does the roll call work?

A week before, we agree with you which tables or family groups take part and send them three short prompts. On the day we go table to table at a quiet moment, usually after the meal, and each group gets about half a minute to say something to you. Anyone can say no, and nobody is filmed by surprise. If you don’t want a roll call, we leave it out.

What if a speech runs long?

We record every speech to its last word, however long it runs, and it reaches you uncut. If the timings slip so far that the speeches fall outside your booked hours, we’ll tell you on the day before anything changes.

Do you film nikkahs and civil ceremonies?

Yes: weddings, civil ceremonies at the register office and nikkahs. Our own nikkah is where the pictures on this page come from. If your nikkah has a sisters’ side, tell us how the family wants it handled and we’ll plan around it. When a woman should film it, Aaliyah (Uwais’s wife) steps in as photographer or videographer: just ask when you book.

When do we get everything?

The reel within 7 days. The full ceremony and every speech within 4 weeks. The short film and all the footage within 8 weeks. Those dates are written into the contract you sign. Everything stays in your private online gallery for 12 months, and we remind you a month before it closes. After that we keep an archive copy for two years, so you can always ask us for it again.

Is there anything to add on top of the price?

No VAT: we aren’t VAT registered, so the price is what you pay. Travel inside Leicestershire is included. If you’re further away we add travel and tell you the figure before you book. A £100 deposit holds your date and comes off the total, and the rest is due within 30 days of the day, by bank transfer.
