We’ve been photographing weddings since 2012. And then, back in 2019, we thought, “Hey, why not try our hand at making wedding films?” Let’s just say our first ever video (of course free of charge and a surprise for the couple) was a little shaky and overexposed, but let me tell ya, it’s still up there as one of my personal all-time faves!
The magic of short wedding films
Weddings are like a treasure trove of awesome moments just waiting to be filmed on camera. From the tears of joy to the crazy dance moves, we live for these exciting moments. We capture them as pictures but just look at those film versions…. you can’t really capture the sound and all memories related to it on pictures, right?
How about the sound of your grandparents’ voices….
Wouldn’t you like to hear your grandparents’ interviews on their wedding day, listen to their love story, how they met and learn all about their hopes and dreams for the future?
Question… do you really need a longer film?
This was one of the things that we’ve agreed on straight at the beginning of our ‘wedding films’ career. We just never wanted to create anything long and boring. I mean if you had the choice – would you prefer a short and beautiful creative film capturing all the emotions or something too long and rather wedding-typical?
Take a look at this beautiful day at the Old Downton Lodge:
This is one of our favourite wedding films – we knew the couple was super camera shy, the vast majority of our couples are, but boy don’t they look stunning? And all those beautiful words… perfection! We fell in love with making wedding films and honestly – if you are camera shy – don’t worry, because we won’t force you to pose and you will love your photos and film!
Probably the best bride’s speech we’ve EVER heard
We LOVED Ellen & Ben’s wedding day – a truly fantastic couple it was a true honour to be a part of their wedding day! Have a look at their film:
How about something a bit more bespoke?
We are always open to suggestions, so any ideas are most welcome! We can create something longer, faster, more in line with your music taste (just look at this amazing wedding!), we can record a separate ceremony, the speeches or even send you the unedited footage from your entire wedding day! Just so it doesn’t get lost in the past undocumented or end up being a poor quality shaky content on your uncle’s iphone!
Don’t get me wrong, we also use our phones to record some bits at weddings – but that always is a bonus, just like the end of this film – you REALLY have to watch it till the end!
This is what Jen & Jon wrote in their review, thank you guys!:
If you’re considering Marta & Artur for your wedding photographers then just do it! They were everything we wanted and needed for our day. Professional, organised and very fun! They captured the vibe we were looking for perfectly and fitted into our day like guests. We never felt like we were being taken away from the party for more than a moment which was really important to us. They get totally into the thick of it resulting in the most amazing candid shots which we absolutely love. Thank you for immortalising our day so beautifully x
EDIT: We just received our wedding video too and I am blown away. The brief was to capture the feel of the day. Watching our video felt like being back at Lyde Court and caught every pivotal moment. The whole concept is really well thought through, beautifully put together and you can tell they care deeply about their work. It’s definitely not just some boring old run-of-the-mill wedding video as it’s full of character and captured the vibe of our day. This video has now become OUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION and we cannot praise Marta & Artur enough!

PS: they also booked their wedding film last minute which is possible and stress free with us when you book two of us to photograph your wedding day. This way you can always add a wedding film literally last minute!
Just take a look at this wedding at Lyde Court and listen to those beautiful words….
What a beautiful family, amazing speeches, a pure delight to watch over and over again. AND they booked that film literally last minute! Can you imagine not having that captured for you at your own wedding? Just lost forever, because you just can’t repeat your wedding day… and if some of your family lives abroad – what a way to share the memories with them?!
This one is all about their love!
We’re all about capturing couples and those mind-blowing vistas in this epic video (whether it is the Cotswolds or beyond). Picture this: it’s the summer of 2020 and this totally rad couple, who had already tied the knot a while back (and we were their photographers), decided to rendezvous with us again. And voilà, this video was born! Something a bit different again…
SILENT MOVIES
Or if you’re not quite convinced about wedding films above, we can also create this timeless film – your very own silent movie featuring your entire wedding day.
