Frequently Asked
Every film package includes a 15-20 minute cinematic wedding film, edited to music, covering preparations through to the first dance, plus the full ceremony and speeches in 4K as separate edits. The Everything, our paid upgrade package, adds a full chronological documentary edit and an on-camera interview woven into the film.
Your highlight film is a music led, 15-20 minute retelling of the whole day, hitting the key emotional beats rather than showing everything in order. The full documentary edit, included in The Everything, is longer and chronological, showing your ceremony, speeches and reception as they actually unfolded, start to finish.
Depending on your package you'll receive between 600-700 hand edited images, including a duplicate black and white collection. Your sneak peek is shared within a few days via WhatsApp and a linkable blog post you can share with family and guests, with your full private gallery following in 8-12 weeks.
Story is our most popular choice, one photographer and one videographer covering preparations through to your first dance. The Everything adds a second photographer, an upgraded album with two extra parent albums, and the documentary edit and interview mentioned above. If your wedding has 100+ guests, multiple locations, or you want the complete record of the day rather than just the highlights, The Everything is worth the step up.
Not at all, it's the thing we hear back from couples most, that they felt completely comfortable and trusted us to just get on with it. We know the structure of a wedding day well enough to find the right angles without crowding guests or getting in anyone's way. Our photo and video team work in step with each other too, always positioned so neither blocks the other's shot, and we run multiple video angles throughout the day so we're covered if one gets compromised.
A 20% deposit secures your date, with the remaining balance split into two further payments before your wedding. We'll confirm the exact schedule in your contract.
Yes, we cover weddings across the UK. Travel within 100 miles of Birmingham is included in all packages, for anything further we'll provide a travel quote alongside your package pricing.
Equipment fails sometimes, it happens to every photographer and videographer eventually. That's why we've invested heavily in redundancy built specifically for wedding and event coverage, dual card slots recording simultaneously in every camera, backup bodies and lenses on standby, and multiple independent audio and video feeds running at once. If one thing drops out, the day keeps rolling and nothing gets missed. In 12 years and 250 weddings we've never lost a moment, and that's not luck, it's the setup.
We use a professionally licensed music library rather than commercial radio tracks, so we can't use specific chart songs, like Ed Sheeran or your first dance song, in the edited film itself. This protects you too, a film with unlicensed music risks being muted or taken down if you ever share it online. We handpick each track to match the tone and pacing of your story, and if you've got a genre or mood in mind, let us know and we'll work it into the edit.
