Unobtrusive Wedding Filmmaking

We have been filming weddings with one videographer for the last 20 years, the difference nowadays is the one operator can use several static discreet cameras to cover more angles.  One videographer can certainly cover a wedding, but the number of videographers you need ultimately depends on your budget, wedding size, and personal preference. Having a second videographer can provide additional coverage and angles, capturing more of your special day and can capture multiple things happening at the same time.

We do recommend two operators for weddings larger than 75 guests or/and for weddings where you require multiple things recorded that may be happening at the same time.  If you want a more styled wedding film a second videographer also has the license to be more creative, whilst the main videographer captures the important moments professionally.

A videographer is responsible for capturing and recording the key moments of your wedding day, such as the ceremony, reception, speeches, and other important events. They are also responsible for professional sound capture when possible.  They may also provide additional services such as editing, colour correction, and audio enhancement.  Our videographers are trained with certain rules to follow.

To choose a wedding videographer, you should consider their experience, style, portfolio, and pricing. Additionally, it's important to meet with them in person to discuss your wedding day vision and ensure that their personality and communication style aligns with yours.  Why choose us?

Both photographers and videographers can capture the special moments of your wedding day in their own unique ways. If you can afford both, having both can provide you with a comprehensive record of your special day. However, if you have to choose one, consider your personal preference and what you value more - still images or moving pictures.  View our wedding film and photography packages where you can save up-to 40% booking together.

The cost of wedding videography services can vary depending on the level of experience, the length of coverage, and the quality of the final product. On average, professional wedding videography services in the UK can cost anywhere from £1,500 to £5,000.  Our charge is based on our experience, time spent on your final film and the level of equipment we own and continue to invest in. https://snowbirdfilms.co.uk/wedding-inspo-blog/f/how-much-should-you-pay-for-a-wedding-video

When you booking wedding videography you are paying fro someone to create a film of your special day.  You may decide to only have a short highlights film picking out all the best moments of your day and combining these into a short film with original emotive audio from your vows, readings and speeches.  You may decide you also want a full feature film of your day, showing the day as it happened in a chronological order, with the ceremony and speeches in full.

To save money on wedding videography, consider shortening the length of coverage or opting for a highlights only package. Additionally, booking during off-peak seasons or weekdays can often result in lower costs.

The length of time you need a videographer depends on the duration of your wedding events. Most wedding videographers offer packages that range from a few hours to full-day coverage.  Our common coverage package is 6-7 hours to cover from ceremony until the end of the first dance.

Many wedding videographers also provide editing services as part of their package. This can include colour correction, audio enhancement, and special effects to create a polished final product.  editing is included with all of our packages.
