Common questions

When you’re ready, a small payment of £200 secures your date. Once you’re booked, I’ll be in touch closer to the day to walk through the finer details and make sure I’m in the right place at the right time.

The whole thing runs through an online booking system, so no paperwork to print or sign by hand.

Standard pricing covers weddings within about an hour or two of Preston. If you’re unsure, just drop me a message.

Films are usually with you around six to eight weeks after your wedding day, often sooner.

If you’d like them quicker, the Faster Turnaround add on brings everything forward to two weeks.

Think of it as a trailer for the day. A 1 to 2 minute edit, beautifully cut, ready to share on your socials within a few weeks of the wedding. It’s the first taste of what’s to come while I’m still working on the longer films.

A 6 to 8 minute film of your day, fully edited with pro audio and licensed music. It includes all the moments you’ll want to watch back over the years, plus snippets of your ceremony and speeches. If you’ve written your own vows, those land in there too.

A 10 to 12 minute film, fully edited. The extra length gives the day room to breathe, which means I can lean into a more story driven edit with more detail and more of how the day actually felt.

Pro audio, licensed music, ceremony and speech moments throughout.

Your Highlight or Feature Film includes snippets of your ceremony and speeches, edited to fit the pace of the rest of the film.

“In Full” means two separate films alongside that. Your ceremony from the first word to the last. Every speech, start to finish. Nothing trimmed, nothing cut.

Same idea as the ceremony and speeches. Your main films include a moment from the first dance, but with the Feature package you also get a separate film of the dance from start to finish.

Minimal, calm, and relaxed. Real emotion shows up when nobody’s being told what to do, so I look for the candid moments and stay out of the way most of the day.

Most couples tell me they forget I’m there after about ten minutes, which is exactly the goal. You shouldn’t feel like you’re performing for the camera.

Your wedding day isn’t a film set, so the kit stays small and quiet. I shoot on Sony a7iii cameras, paired with professional Sony microphones so the audio from your ceremony and speeches comes through crisp.

A couple of tripods, that’s about it. Less faffing with gear, more time spent actually filming.

Depends on the day, but as a rule of thumb I’ll arrive shortly before your morning prep and stay until after the first dance. The focus is always on filming the best moments, so the timings stretch around what’s actually happening.

If you’d like me to stay later into the evening, the Evening Coverage add on covers that.

Yes, included at no extra cost. Aerial footage adds a lot to the feel of your final film, so it comes as standard across all packages.

Two caveats: it’s weather dependent, and I’ll always check with the venue beforehand. I’m fully legal and certified to operate the drone.

I like to focus mainly on just Film. I do work alongside a lot of photographers across the Northwest though, so if you’re still looking, I’d happily point you in the direction of a few I’d trust with my own day.

Your day still happens, and I still film it the same way. Some of the best moments I’ve shot have been the wet ones. Nothing changes on my side, I treat weather as part of the story.
