Videography Packages

Our dedicated wedding film team works alongside me throughout your wedding day. Photography and film are planned together from a single brief, coordinated by a single team on the day, and delivered as two parts of the same complete story.

This matters practically. When your photographer and videographer share the same brief from the start, the day runs more smoothly, portrait time is planned around both disciplines, and nothing falls through the gap between two suppliers who've never met before your wedding morning.

Ceremony Film - £350 (add-on to any package)

A clean, professionally edited recording of your ceremony captured on a fixed camera. Full ceremony audio is recorded throughout, and the finished film is delivered online.

What's included:

  • Fixed camera ceremony recording

  • Full ceremony audio

  • Professional edit

  • Online delivery

This suits couples who want a permanent record of their vows and readings without committing to a full wedding film.

Wedding Highlights Film - £795 (add-on) / £1,095 (standalone)

Our dedicated videographer covers your full wedding day and produces a cinematic highlights film telling your story in four to six minutes. A 60-second social media teaser is delivered within 72 hours* so you have something to share immediately.

What's included:

  • Dedicated videographer for the full wedding day

  • 4–6 minute cinematic highlights film with licensed music

  • Ceremony audio woven into the edit

  • 60-second social media teaser within 72 hours*

  • Online delivery

This suits couples wanting a proper cinematic film of their day at an accessible price, enough to relive the full atmosphere and emotion of their wedding in one sitting.

*72-hour social teaser subject to editing availability. Delivered within 7 days, where same-week delivery is not possible.

Signature Wedding Film - £1,195 (add-on) / £1,595 (standalone)

Full-day coverage from preparation through to the first dance, with a cinematic feature film alongside complete, separate edits of your ceremony and speeches. Aerial drone footage is included where permitted by the venue.

Complete Film Collection - £1,595 (add-on) / £2,095 (standalone)

Our most comprehensive film package. The lead videographer is joined by a second camera operator, providing multi-angle ceremony coverage and a richer, more detailed edit from every key moment of the day.

How Booking Works

Start with an email or a phone call. We'll discuss your date, venue, and what you're looking for. If your date is available and the conversation feels right, a 10% booking deposit secures it.

Once booked, you'll receive a detailed questionnaire covering your timeline, key family members, group photo lists, and any special moments you want to make sure are captured. For couples adding a film package, the videography brief is covered in the same conversation as the planning process; everything is covered together.
