Wedding Videographer in Laval and the South Shore

Looking for a wedding videographer in Laval, Longueuil or on the South Shore? Instant Impact is based in Montreal and films weddings in Laval, Longueuil, Brossard, on the North Shore and across Quebec. When the day takes place off the island of Montreal, a few points are worth planning ahead.

The trip between the ceremony and the reception

Many couples hold the ceremony in one place and the reception in another. Between Laval, Montreal and the South Shore, you have to cross bridges, and traffic can change travel time a lot, especially late in the day and during roadwork. Build a margin into your schedule: it is good for your day, and for the film, which then misses no key moment.

Light changes with the season

In Quebec, the length of the day varies a lot between summer and winter. For an autumn or winter wedding, the sun sets early: couple portraits are done earlier in the afternoon, before the ceremony or just after. In summer you have more time, but midday light is harsh. We talk about it with you when building the schedule.

Venues: indoors, estate, waterside

An indoor reception venue needs particular attention to light and sound. An estate or a riverside offers beautiful settings, but plan a backup in case of rain. At our first meeting, we go over the venues and the timeline to spot what matters for your film. Also read our article on planning your wedding day timeline.

Aerial shots

Aerial images give scale to an estate, a lake or a vineyard. They depend, however, on Transport Canada regulations, venue authorization and weather. Near an airport or in controlled airspace, authorization may be required. We check what is possible with you before the day, and these shots can be cancelled for safety reasons.

A team sized to your wedding

For an intimate wedding, a single filmmaker is enough: a discreet presence, with editing and color grading handled by a professional editor. For a large wedding, we bring a full team of filmmakers and technicians. The sound of your vows and speeches is recorded with a microphone, because it is what you will want to hear again in twenty years.

Getting ready and first look

The getting-ready hours are often the most beautiful images: the dress, the details, the glances. Choose a room with a large window and leave some time before leaving for the ceremony. If you plan a first look or a walk with your partner, tell us early so we can scout the spot and the light.

What if the wedding is farther away?

We travel anywhere in Quebec, Canada and the world. Transport and accommodation costs depend on the location and are shown in your proposal. If you are marrying abroad, read our article on film logistics.

Travel costs in Laval and on the South Shore

Laval, Longueuil and Brossard are part of our usual area around Montreal. Travel depends on the exact venue and the length of the day; it is shown clearly in your proposal, with no surprise afterwards. If you are hesitating between two venues, send us both addresses: we will tell you what each one means for the film, the timeline and the sound.
