A wedding film booked by photo and film 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.

FAQs
The short version follows.
How long is the final film?
A highlights film typically runs three to five minutes: the ceremony and speeches lead into the first dance. A longer documentary-style cut is available on request.
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.
