Photo and film, by the same person.
Booking your wedding photography and videography together gives you one point of contact for planning, coverage and editing. I plan the photographs and filming around your timetable so both tell a consistent story. The right package depends on your hours, the film you want and whether any moments need additional simultaneous coverage.

Plan the moments that matter to you.
Photography and film are planned together around your chosen hours and priorities. The outline below shows possible coverage across a wedding day; it does not mean every moment or a full-length recording is included in every package. Bronze is ceremony-led with a highlight film. Silver includes the full ceremony and speeches in its documentary film; Gold adds longer coverage and both films.
Morning Prep
Photo-led + filmFull photography coverage of getting ready — the details, the nerves, the quiet moments before it all begins — with pieces of film woven in to catch the candid movement of the morning.
The Ceremony
Photo + FilmPhotographs and video of the key ceremony moments are planned together, with dedicated audio recording. Silver includes the full ceremony in its documentary film; Bronze uses selected moments in its highlight. We agree positioning and priorities around your ceremony and venue rules.
Confetti Walk
Filmed + stillsThe confetti walk is filmed as a moving sequence — the one moment where motion beats a single frame — with the classic confetti photographs captured right alongside it.
Garden Party
Photo + FilmFilm coverage of the atmosphere as everyone relaxes into the day, paired with classic photography for the group shots and family formals.
Speeches
Fully filmedSilver includes the full speeches in the documentary film. Bronze uses selected moments in the highlight; Gold includes documentary and highlight films. Speaker audio and opportunities for reaction photographs are planned around your timetable.
Cake Cut
Fully filmedFully filmed as it happens, with stills of the moment the knife goes in and the laughter that follows.
First Dances
Fully filmedFirst-dance and evening coverage depend on your agreed finish time. Silver runs until shortly after the first dance within its 9-hour limit; Gold allows longer evening coverage. Any separate full first-dance edit is agreed in your quote.
Photo + video FAQs
Practical answers to the questions couples ask about combined photography and videography. Anything else? Send me a message — I aim to reply personally within 24 hours.
Why book photo and video together rather than two separate suppliers?
Combined coverage gives you one point of contact, shared planning and a consistent approach to photographs and film. You can choose a highlight, documentary film or both according to your package.
Compare the actual coverage hours, film inclusions and number of operators when considering separate suppliers. For extensive simultaneous coverage in different places, a second shooter can be quoted as an extra.
How do you cover both photography AND video on the same day?
I plan photography and video around your timetable, with cameras and dedicated audio set up for key moments such as the ceremony and speeches. I move between photographing and operating the video equipment according to the agreed priorities.
One person cannot independently follow two events in different locations at once. If you want both preparations covered separately, several simultaneous angles or extensive coverage in different spaces, we discuss a second shooter as an optional extra before booking.
The finished films depend on your package: Bronze includes a highlight; Silver includes a documentary film with full ceremony and speeches; Gold includes both films. Extra edits and coverage are agreed in your quote.
How much does it cost compared to booking separately?
Bronze starts at £1,599 for approximately 7.5 hours and a highlight film alongside photography. Silver starts at £1,999 for up to 9 hours, photographs and a documentary film with full ceremony and speeches; a highlight is an optional extra. Gold starts at £2,499 for 10–12 hours and both films. Platinum is quoted individually.
There is no fixed saving that applies to every wedding. Compare coverage hours, film lengths, included edits, travel and operator numbers against the separate quotes you receive. Your combined quote confirms the total and any extras before booking.
Which package includes the full ceremony and speeches?
Silver includes the full ceremony and speeches in its documentary wedding film. Gold includes a documentary film as well as a cinematic highlight. Bronze includes a 4–7 minute highlight rather than a full documentary; a documentary upgrade can be discussed and quoted separately. You do not need to purchase raw footage to receive the edited ceremony and speeches included with Silver.
Do we get the photos and the film at the same time?
Photos usually arrive first. Where a sneak peek is included in your package, it is typically delivered within the first week, and the full photo gallery typically within 2–3 weeks. The wedding film follows — the documentary film typically within 4 weeks, and a highlight film within 2–4 weeks where included or added to your package. Delivery depends on the season and agreed edits; confirm any fixed deadline before booking. Silver includes the documentary film; its cinematic highlight film is an optional extra.
This staggered delivery is intentional. Editing photos and editing film are different jobs that compete for time. Photos are usually finished first because the workflow is faster; the film takes longer because of audio mixing, colour grading and music sync.
Either way, you’ll always know exactly where you are in the process. No three-month silence.
Is the wedding film edited in the same style as the photos?
Yes. Photography and film share a consistent approach to colour, light and skin tones, while each is edited for its own format. The aim is a cohesive collection of photographs and films from your day.
Can we add wedding content creation and vertical social clips?
Yes. Wedding content creation is available as an optional add-on to combined photography and videography packages. Vertical 9:16 clips for Instagram Reels, TikTok and Stories capture candid moments and behind-the-scenes details. These are quoted separately from your wedding photographs, documentary film or cinematic highlight. The content, filming priorities and delivery timing are agreed before your day.
Explore wedding content creation and mention the social clips you would like in your enquiry.
Can we add live streaming, extra hours or other extras?
Yes — common add-ons include:
- Live streaming — broadcast-grade ceremony streaming for guests who can’t attend (read more about live streaming)
- Extra hours — extending coverage by 1–2 hours (typical for late receptions or split-venue ceremonies)
- Engagement / pre-wedding shoot — relaxed shoot before the wedding day
- Albums and prints — designed together based on your favourite images
- Raw video footage — unedited clips on USB for couples who want everything
- Second shooter — for very large weddings or simultaneous coverage of multiple moments
Just mention what you want in your enquiry and I’ll fold it into a custom quote. You can also ask about wedding guest photo sharing and audio guest book hire as optional extras.
