Most disappointment around wedding film pricing doesn’t come from the headline figure. It comes later, from an extra that shows up after the booking is confirmed.
The ones worth asking about directly: travel costs beyond a photographer’s usual radius, parking or congestion charges if you’re in central London, additional retouching once you’ve seen the full gallery, and rush fees if your deadline moves up. None of these are unreasonable to charge for, but they should be disclosed before you pay a deposit, not after.
At LemonShark Studio the quote for a wedding film (from £600 for a highlights film) is built to include everything discussed on the initial call, so there’s nothing left to discover later. If something changes on the day, that gets agreed with you before any extra work happens, not billed as a surprise afterwards.

FAQs
A couple of quick answers.
Is the filming intrusive during the ceremony?
No. Cameras are small, discreet and positioned to stay out of guests sightlines, the same unobtrusive approach used for photography.
How soon do we get the film?
A highlights film is usually delivered within four to six weeks, alongside the photography gallery.
