Wedding films in Birmingham the Midlands
I film weddings handheld, so I move with your day instead of running it. No posing. No staged scenes. You get the day as it happened, including the bits you missed. Live sound runs all day, so you hear the vows, the speeches and the laughing exactly as they landed.
What you get
A 15 minute highlight film
Your ceremony and speeches in full
A short trailer for Instagram
Drone footage where the venue and the weather allow
Want photos too? Photo and film run as one plan. I lead the film and a photographer I trust covers the photos, so each job gets a pro's full attention. One booking, one point of contact, no two suppliers fighting over the same spot at your ceremony.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes — I offer wedding films across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands, including Worcestershire, Warwickshire, and Leicestershire. From morning preparations through to the evening celebrations, I capture the full story of your day.
-
Coverage follows your day: bridal prep, the ceremony, speeches and the reception up to just after your first dance. You get a 15-minute 4K film, the full ceremony and speeches as separate films, and a short Instagram trailer.
-
We offer combined photo and video packages with our in-house team for the best compatibility and seamless coverage. If you’re hiring an external photographer, that’s no problem — we work closely together on the day, using multiple camera angles and careful coordination to ensure nothing is missed and neither of us gets in the way.
-
On average, films are delivered within 8 weeks. During peak wedding season (summer), delivery can take up to 12 weeks.
-
Yes. I use between 3 and 7 microphones on the day — from discreet on-body mics for the groom and officiant, to room microphones capturing the atmosphere. All of these sources are professionally mixed afterwards to ensure your vows and speeches sound clear and natural in the finished film.
-
All music used in your wedding film is fully licensed from professional music libraries, which means we can’t use copyrighted tracks by commercial artists. This ensures your film is legal to share and keep forever. For short clips on TikTok or Instagram Reels, you can still overlay select songs from artists within the app’s rules.
-
Yes — drone coverage is included as standard, where conditions and permissions allow. Drones can’t fly in strong winds or rain, and some venues close to restricted airspace may not permit flights. If this applies to your venue, I’ll let you know in advance.
-
After your initial enquiry, we'll arrange a quick phone call to discuss your needs. From there, I'll create a custom package or suggest one of my existing options. Everything is managed in a single online client portal, where you can review your package, sign the contract, and pay 20% to secure your date. The rest is split into two further payments before the wedding.
-
At the moment I don’t take on international weddings, as I prefer to keep travel within the UK. My focus is on weddings that can be covered within a single day, so I can balance my work with family life.
-
I prioritise handheld, authentic footage and capture the natural sound throughout the day. The result is a raw, emotive film filled with laughter and energy, with minimal slow-motion playback. I use cinema-grade equipment designed specifically for filmmaking, which allows me to create a very different look and feel compared to traditional photography gear.
