Why here

Why choose Wedding film in Lombok?

What separates a wedding film from a set of moving pictures is sound: the catch in a voice halfway through the vows, the laugh from the second row. On Lombok, sound is the hardest thing to get right, for three reasons the island imposes. The south-coast headlands are among the windiest ceremony spots in the region, and an unprotected microphone on a ridge records mostly roar. Surf is constant on the open bays. And the Maghrib call to prayer rings out from village mosques at sunset, exactly when most couples want to say their vows. None of these is a reason to avoid Lombok, but each changes the plan. We record the vows on separate microphones — one on each of you and one on the celebrant — with wind protection, choose a ceremony spot with some shelter, and work with your planner to end the vows before sunset. The result is a film where the place looks wild and the words are still clear.

How the shoot is planned

What does the shoot in Lombok look like?

The route

The thirty minutes start before the first guest sits down. We mic you both and the celebrant, test levels against the wind and the surf, and set one camera wide on a tripod so the whole ceremony is covered even when the handheld camera moves. Then the processional: the walk down the aisle filmed from the front, the reaction of the person waiting filmed from the side. During the vows the handheld camera stays close on faces while the wide holds the bay and the guests; the rings, the kiss and the recessional follow. In the minutes straight after, while guests congratulate you, we film the two of you a short way off — a walk to the edge of the lawn, the view, a quiet word. With extra hours we add preparations, speeches and the first dance, and the film grows accordingly.

The timing

Set the ceremony to finish about twenty minutes before sunset, which on Lombok falls roughly between 5.50 and 6.30 pm depending on the month; Maghrib follows shortly after sunset and can last several minutes across the bays. That timing also puts the couple footage in the best light. Wind matters more for a film than for photographs: on the south coast it usually eases towards evening, but in July and August the trade wind can still be strong at 5 pm, so a sheltered lawn or a villa terrace beats an exposed ridge. In the wet season a morning ceremony gives calmer air and a cleaner soundtrack. Plan around Ramadan and Eid, when flights and venues are busiest.

Before you book

FAQ — Wedding film in Lombok

Will the call to prayer be audible in our film?

Only if the timeline lets it. Lombok has a mosque in nearly every village, and the sunset call carries for kilometres. We plan the vows to finish before it, and because each of you wears a microphone, your words stay clear even if it starts early. Some couples keep a few seconds of it in the film as part of the place.

How long is the film if we book the whole day?

The starting package gives a 2–3 minute ceremony film. With extra hours covering preparations, speeches and the first dance, the film becomes a fuller story of the day; we agree its length with you when we plan the hours, so you know what you are paying for.

Can you film from a drone during the ceremony?

The drone add-on belongs to photo services, so the film is shot from the ground. If you want aerials of the venue, book drone video separately ($320) and have the pilot fly before or after the vows — never during, as the noise would reach the microphones. Airspace near Lombok airport is checked first.

Do you work alongside our photographer?

Yes. Before the day we agree positions with the photographer so neither of us blocks the other at the key moments — usually the photographer at the end of the aisle and the videographer to one side. If you book both with us, the timeline is shared from the start.
