Why Wedding Films are a Must-Have
Imagine this: You’re sitting on your anniversary, years down the line, holding hands, pressing play on your wedding film. The laughter, the vows, the cheers, the music – it all comes flooding back. Your grandparents’ voices, the nervous excitement before the ceremony, the epic dance floor moves… this is why wedding films are magic.
PICTURE THIS:
It’s your anniversary, and you press play on your wedding film. Instantly, you’re back in that moment – hearing your partner’s vows, seeing your best friends’ reactions, feeling the electric energy of the dance floor.
Photos are beautiful, but they don’t capture sound, movement, or those fleeting little moments that make your wedding truly unforgettable. That’s where cinematic wedding films come in.
While photos freeze a moment in time, creative wedding films bring those moments to life. They capture not just how your wedding looked, but how it felt – the movement, the emotions, the little glances that might have gone unnoticed. And trust us, when the confetti settles and the cake is long gone, you’ll be so grateful to relive your day exactly as it happened.
But not all wedding films are created equal. Gone are the days of long, drawn-out, slightly awkward wedding videos. We’re all about cinematic storytelling, emotional highlights, and creative editing that captures the real energy of your day.
Ready to see what a wedding film can truly be? Let’s dive in. 🎥✨
KEY FACTS

What Makes a Wedding Film ‘Creative’?
Not all wedding films are created equal. Some are long, slow, and a little… well, boring. That’s not our style.
We believe wedding videography should feel like a movie – your love story told in the most cinematic, emotional, and engaging way possible. But what exactly makes a creative wedding film stand out?
The Secret Ingredients of a Creative Wedding Film
- Storytelling Over Just Footage – A great wedding film isn’t just a montage of clips – it’s a story. From the excitement of getting ready to that first look, to the wild dance floor antics, every moment flows naturally to capture the feeling of your day.
- Music That Matches the Mood – A wedding film without great music is like a party without cake. We carefully choose licensed tracks that enhance the energy, romance, and emotion of your film – whether you want uplifting, emotional, or fun vibes.
- The Art of Emotion – The tearful vows. The best man’s hilarious speech. The quiet, stolen moment between you two when no one’s watching. These are the moments that make a wedding film truly unforgettable.
- Short & Sweet (Not an Endless Watch Party) – Let’s be real: no one wants to sit through a three-hour wedding video. That’s why we focus on shorter, high-impact highlight films that keep your attention, emotions, and excitement levels high.
- Cinematic Touches – Think slow-motion twirls, golden-hour kisses, and sweeping drone shots that add that “WOW” factor. We make every film feel epic, yet deeply personal.

A creative wedding film should feel like YOU – your energy, your love, your vibe. Want to see what that looks like? Scroll down for some of our favourite wedding films! First up… this wedding at Brinsop Court:
Why We Started Creating Wedding Films?
It all started with a little experiment. Back in 2019, after years of capturing weddings through photography, we thought, “What if we tried making wedding films?” So, armed with a camera, zero experience in videography, and a lot of creative energy, we filmed our first-ever wedding video.
Let’s just say… it was a little shaky, slightly overexposed, and definitely not the polished cinematic magic we create today. But you know what? That film still holds a special place in our hearts, because it made us realise something important:
- Wedding films capture what photos can’t – the movement, the laughter, the spoken words, the little fleeting moments you might forget.
- They tell a different side of the story, one that unfolds in motion, with music, with emotion, with all the little quirks that make each wedding unique.
- And most importantly? Couples LOVED them. So much so that we knew we had to level up, invest in gear, learn everything about cinematic storytelling, and make wedding films a core part of what we do.
Fast forward to today, and we’ve crafted countless cinematic wedding films that bring couples right back to their big day. And the best part? Our films feel natural, fun, and full of life – no awkward posing, no forced smiles, just real, beautiful moments.

The Power of Sound – What Photos Can’t Capture
Let’s be real – photos are amazing, but there’s one thing they can’t do: capture sound.
Imagine this… Years from now, you press play on your wedding film and suddenly:
- You hear your partner’s voice cracking as they read their vows.
- You relive the cheers and laughter as your best friend nails their speech.
- You listen to your grandparents’ voices, sharing their love story, offering words of wisdom that become even more precious over time.
These moments can’t be captured in a photo – but in a film? They live on forever.
Why Sound is the Heart of a Great Wedding Film?
- Vows & Speeches That Hit Different – Reading your vows is one thing. Hearing them again years later? That’s next level. The emotion in your voices, the way your partner looks at you – it all comes back in an instant.
- The Unscripted Magic – The cheeky inside jokes during the speeches, the hilarious stories, the spontaneous laughter? Pure gold. These are the moments that make your film uniquely yours.
- Music That Ties It All Together – A great song choice sets the tone. Whether it’s romantic, cinematic, or just full-on party vibes, the music transforms your film into something unforgettable.
- The Little Things You Might Miss – The shuffle of your feet as you walk down the aisle. The sound of the champagne cork popping. The cheers from your guests as you share your first kiss. These small details bring everything back to life.
Imagine Not Having Those Memories…
Wouldn’t it be heartbreaking if all those sounds – the laughs, the cheers, the heartfelt words – were lost forever? That’s why wedding films aren’t just a luxury; they’re an investment in memories.

The Magic of Hybrid Wedding Photography & Videography
So, you want stunning wedding photos and an incredible wedding film? Of course, you do! But here’s the real question…
🤔 Should you hire separate teams for photography and videography? Or is there a smarter, less stressful, and way more fun way to do it?
The answer: Go hybrid! 🎥📸 Instead of juggling multiple vendors, you get one creative dream team (that’s us! wink, wink!) capturing both your photos and film seamlessly. No chaos, no awkward camera clashes – just one relaxed, natural, storytelling approach.
Why Hybrid Wedding Photography & Videography is a Total Game-Changer
- One Team, One Vision – No weirdly mismatched editing styles or disjointed footage. Your wedding film and photos will have the same energy, vibe, and aesthetic – just as they should.
- Less Stress, More Fun – No need to coordinate between two separate crews with their own timelines. We work like a well-oiled, wedding-capturing machine, so you can just enjoy your day!
- No Missed Moments – We don’t step on each other’s toes (or yours). We know exactly how to move, when to step back, and when to get in the action without making you feel like a Hollywood star under too many lights.
- Your Wedding is NOT a Film Set – Let’s be real – your wedding isn’t a production. It’s about you celebrating with your favourite people. That’s why we keep things natural, relaxed, and stress-free while still capturing every epic moment.
- Last-Minute Add-On? No Problem! – Decided you want a wedding film after booking photography? We got you! Since we handle both, adding a film last minute is easy and seamless.
What Does This Mean for You?
A stress-free, natural experience where you get both incredible wedding photos and an epic wedding film without feeling like you’re being followed by a reality TV crew.

How We Create Cinematic Wedding Films?
Alright, so we’ve talked about why wedding films are a must-have and how hybrid photography & videography makes life easier. But what actually goes into creating a cinematic wedding film that feels like your love story on the big screen?
Spoiler alert: It’s not just about pointing a camera and pressing record. 🎥
Here’s how we turn your wedding day into a beautifully crafted, goosebump-inducing film you’ll want to watch over and over again.
Our Signature Wedding Filmmaking Process
- Candid & Natural Filming – No awkward, staged moments here. We capture real emotions, spontaneous laughter, and genuine interactions – the stuff that truly makes your wedding special.
- Music That Hits Just Right – We don’t just slap any song on top of your wedding film. We choose soundtracks that reflect your energy and vibe – whether that’s emotional, epic, fun, or a little bit of everything.
- Short & Sweet (But Oh-So Powerful) – Nobody wants a wedding film that drags on for hours. That’s why we focus on creating impactful highlight films that tell your story in a way that keeps you hooked from start to finish.
- Emotions, First & Foremost – The way your partner’s face lights up when they see you, the quiet nervous excitement before the ceremony, the dance floor madness – we capture it all, weaving it into a film that feels as real as the day itself.
- Cinematic Shots That WOW – Think slow-motion twirls, dreamy golden-hour kisses, smooth drone shots, and seamless transitions that make your wedding film feel like a masterpiece.
- Crisp, Clear Audio – The sound of your vows, heartfelt speeches, and even the laughter in the background – we use high-quality audio capture so that every word, every emotion, and every moment is perfectly preserved.
The Final Result?
A wedding film that FEELS like your day – the love, the excitement, the wild dance moves – wrapped up in a cinematic, beautiful, and truly you masterpiece.
Do You Really Need a Longer Wedding Film?
Okay, real talk: Do you really want a two-hour wedding film that nobody (not even you) will sit through more than once?
We asked ourselves this question when we started filming weddings, and our answer was clear – no one wants to relive their day in real-time. What couples actually love are emotion-packed, beautifully edited highlight films that let them revisit the best moments without the fluff.
But hey, we get it – some couples might want more. So let’s break it down…
Short & Sweet vs. Full-Length: What’s Best for You?
💫 The Wedding Highlight Film (Most Popular!)
- 4-7 minutes of the absolute best moments – raw emotion, cinematic shots, and all the magic in one beautifully crafted film.
- Perfect for sharing with family & friends (and let’s be honest, on Instagram too).
- No filler, just the good stuff – reliving the energy, the romance, and the fun without a single dull moment.
🎤 Full Ceremony & Speech Videos (For the Memory Keepers!)
- Want to remember every single word of your vows and the hilarious (or emotional) speeches? We got you.
- A separate full-length recording of your ceremony and speeches, professionally edited with clear audio and multi-camera angles.
- The best way to hear the words that matter, without sitting through hours of footage.
📂 Raw Footage (For the Documentary Lovers!)
- Prefer to keep everything? We can provide all the raw, unedited clips so nothing is lost.
- Think of it as a behind-the-scenes look at your wedding day.
What’s Right for You?
Most couples LOVE the highlight film – it’s engaging, emotional, and easy to rewatch. But if you want a longer film, we can tailor something that suits your vibe.
The best part? You don’t have to decide right away! If you book us both for photography, you can always add a film last-minute – even after the wedding day.

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!
