Timing matters more than people think. Book too late and availability shrinks. Leave it too long and details get forgotten before the day arrives.
As a general rule, popular dates and locations get booked weeks or months ahead, particularly during busier seasons. Booking six to eight weeks out gives enough runway to plan properly without the wait dragging on. If your date is flexible, that flexibility is worth using, since it often opens up availability that a fixed date wouldn’t.
Last-minute bookings for a wedding film are sometimes possible, and worth asking about directly rather than assuming the answer is no.

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.
