What’s different about a wedding film for documentary-style couples

A wedding film booked by documentary-style couples has a slightly different brief to the average session, even if the process looks similar on paper.

The images need to work harder for a specific purpose, whether that’s a particular platform, a particular audience, or a particular use case that a generic wedding film wouldn’t necessarily account for. That means a slightly different conversation before the shoot, and sometimes a different selection of looks or setups on the day.

If you fall into this group, it’s worth saying so clearly when you enquire, so the session gets planned around the actual use case from the start rather than adjusted afterwards.

Pricing, process and everything else sits on the Wedding Films page, and a direct message gets a straight answer faster than a search ever will, so get in touch if in doubt.

FAQs

Two common questions, answered.

Do you include drone footage?
Where the venue allows it, yes. Aerial shots of the venue and grounds are a nice addition to a highlights film, subject to permission on the day.

Can we book film alongside photography?
Yes, and most couples do. Shooting both under one roof means one crew, one visual language, and no awkward hand-off between separate photo and video teams on the day.
