Cinematic Wedding Video FAQs
Here, you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions I get from couples about their wedding films. Whether you’re planning a wedding in Devon, Cornwall, or anywhere across the South West, I aim to make the process feel simple, relaxed, and easy to understand from the start.
My goal is to create cinematic, documentary-style wedding films that feel natural, personal, and a little bit luxurious in every frame. If you don’t see your question here, please feel free to get in touch. I’m always happy to chat and help you plan your perfect wedding film.
Why should we have a professional Videographer?
In the words of Dr Seuss, “You’ll never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.”
Your wedding day will feel like it flies by, and one of the biggest regrets couples often share is not having it filmed. Photos capture beautiful moments, but video brings everything back to life — your vows, the sound of laughter during speeches, and all the small in-between moments you might miss on the day.
A wedding film lets you relive it all, exactly as it felt.
How much does wedding videography cost with you?
My wedding videography packages start from £1,200, with three options depending on how much of your day you’d like captured. All packages include the same cinematic films, and travel is always included.
When should we book you, and can we meet before booking?
As soon as possible is always best. I can only film one wedding per day and my diary, especially for peak season (May to September), tends to fill up quickly.
I always encourage a consultation before booking as well, so you can feel comfortable and confident about your wedding film and what I offer. This can be done over a quick call and gives you a chance to ask anything you need before making a decision.
How do we book you?
Once you’ve enquired, I’ll check my availability and come back to you as soon as I can. If I’m available for your date, we can have a relaxed chat about your plans so you can make sure I’m the right fit for your day.
If you’d like to go ahead, I’ll send over a booking form along with a simple £150 deposit to secure your date, no matter which package you choose.
How many weddings do you take on each year?
I only take on a limited number of weddings each year so I can give every couple my full attention and ensure each film is crafted with care.
Where do you cover, and are there any travel charges?
I’m based in Plymouth and film weddings across Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, and the wider South West and beyond. I’m always happy to travel wherever your wedding takes place.
Travel is included in all packages, so there are no hidden extra charges.
We’ve already booked a photographer, how will you work with them?
No matter who you’ve booked, whether we’ve worked together before or it’s our first time meeting, we’re a team on the day. We’re both there to capture your memories in the best way possible.
I always make sure to communicate with photographers so we work smoothly together and never get in each other’s way. If I haven’t worked with them before, I’ll usually introduce myself ahead of time.
We’re nervous about being on camera…
That’s completely normal, and you’re not alone. Most couples feel this way at first.
I film in a very natural, discreet way without posing or interrupting your day. My goal is to capture everything as it genuinely unfolds, so you can relax and enjoy every moment without feeling like you’re being directed.
Why do wedding films cost what they do?
Creating a cinematic wedding film takes time, experience, and a lot of attention to detail. I only take on a limited number of weddings each year so I can give each film my full focus.
From filming across Devon, Cornwall and the South West, to carefully editing your Highlight and Feature Films, every step is designed to tell your story in a natural and cinematic way.
When you invest in a wedding film, you’re not just getting footage, you’re getting a carefully crafted story of your day.
Can we choose our own music for the films?
For your Highlight Film, I select music that fits your day, and ensures it can be shared safely online due to copyright rules.
For your Feature Film, I am able to license specific tracks, so your film can feel even more personal.
How long will our films be, and when will we receive them?
Every package includes two films.
Your Highlight Film is typically around 5–8 minutes, depending on your day and the music used.
Your Feature Film is a longer cinematic film that usually ranges from 30–60+ minutes depending on your ceremony, speeches, and coverage.
Your films are usually delivered within 12–16 weeks after your wedding. I never rush the editing process, as this is where your story really comes together, and I want your films to feel thoughtful, cinematic, and worth the wait.
Do you provide raw footage?
I don’t provide raw footage, as each film is carefully edited to tell your story in a cinematic and intentional way.
You will receive the key moments of your day, with repetitive or unusable clips removed, so your final films feel natural, polished, and beautifully structured.
Do you offer drone footage?
Yes, where conditions and location allow. Drone footage is included at no extra cost, but is always weather, venue, and airspace dependent. If it can’t be flown on the day, nothing is lost from your package.
When used, it adds a beautiful cinematic perspective of your venue and surroundings.
Where are you based?
I’m based in Plymouth in Devon, and I regularly film weddings across Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, and the wider South West.
