Jewish Wedding Videographer

Jewish Wedding Films with Artistic Flair Across the UK & Europe

Jewish weddings are so full of joy, making them some of my absolute favourite weddings to film. I love the symbolism of the ceremony, with my favorite being the circling, which visually aids the story of two lives intertwining. The eye contact that often occurs between the couple at this point is like finding treasure. I also appreciate the great emphasis on family as the parents are usually under the chuppah as well, providing an opportunity to capture their emotions, allowing me to build up layers of value within the film. After filming many Jewish weddings, I can confidently say that I am one of the most experienced Jewish wedding videographers in the UK, and I invite you to explore the unique stories I’ve had the honour of capturing. 

KIND WORDS

“I never thought I would get so emotional looking back at our video, but now it’s our most favourite keepsake, it recaptures the whole day beautifully. We didn’t realise that you’d caught so many moments that would have been forgotten, and those details make our video all the more special! Thank you Wagtail!”

Why Choose Wagtail Productions for Your Jewish Wedding Videography?

Jewish weddings are a videographer’s dream, with singing and the smashing of the glass causing a sudden burst of joy. The Hora (Israeli dancing) is the big highlight for me. I strip my camera of its accessories, attach a protective filter to my lens, and dive right into the action. Blending in with the circle, travelling with the movement, knowing I will probably be elbowed in the face again, and going handheld (not to be confused with sloppy camera work) creates an energy in the camera language that best matches the lived experience of the couple and guests at that moment.

Jewish wedding videography is all about observing what is in front of you and translating that through technical choices. That's why, it’s crucial to work with a videographer who has experience with Jewish weddings, as understanding and anticipating these moments is key to capturing the full joy and vibrancy of your day.

CHOOSE YOUR WEDDING FILM COLLECTION

At Wagtail Productions, we offer a variety of wedding film collections tailored to meet diverse needs and preferences, ensuring each couple receives a personalised experience.

HIGHLIGHT COLLECTION

  • We typically start filming an hour before the ceremony or 8 hours before your first dance, which ever makes most sense with your schedule.

  • We will make our way around your wedding, adapting, to stealthy capture different angles of your ceremony and find the moments between people which make your film so personal.

  • Focusing on the key moments of your day, this edit will lead you from your ceremony to your first dance. The result is a powerful edit with only the most impactful shots chosen.

  • Speeches in Full: We produce a multi camera edit of the wonderful words said on your day, complete with reaction shots which really add to the impact. In our experience, speeches vary hugely in length and number of speakers from wedding to wedding. So, we have introduced a customisable pricing structure, meaning you only pay according to the number of speeches.

    Extra Coverage: If you expect the first dance to begin later than 7 hours after the ceremony, you may add coverage by the hour. We will go through the schedule in great detail prior to the wedding to ensure we know the moments that are most important to you. The option of extra coverage gives you peace of mind, just knowing that it's all going to be captured without you clock watching.

    Wedding photography: We include our favourite film stills with all our collections. This is a lovely little bonus. However, if you would like to add dedicated wedding photography to your collection, we offer a combined video and photo package.

SHORT FILM COLLECTION

  • We typically start filming an hour before the bride goes into the make up chair. This allows us to shoot the beautiful details of the venue. If both preparation locations are not logistically close, then we will have a cinematographer with each.

  • We operate a 2 camera set-up, allowing us to capture different angles of the ceremony and split to cover simultaneous events when needed.

  • Focusing on the key moments of your day, this edit will lead you from the buzz of anticipation in your preparations to your first dance as a married couple. The result is a powerful edit with elements of story from a Full Feature edit and pace like our Highlight edit.

  • Speeches in Full: We produce a multi camera edit of the wonderful words said on your day, complete with reaction shots which really add to the impact. In our experience, speeches vary hugely in length and number of speakers from wedding to wedding. So, we have introduced a customisable pricing structure, meaning you only pay according to the number of speeches.

    Extra Coverage: If you expect the first dance to begin later than 9 hours after the bridal prep, you may add coverage by the hour. We will go through the schedule in great detail prior to the wedding to ensure we know the moments that are most important to you. The option of extra coverage gives you peace of mind, just knowing that it's all going to be captured without you clock watching.

    Wedding photography: We include our favourite film stills with all our collections. This is a lovely little bonus. However, if you would like to add dedicated wedding photography to your collection, we offer a combined videography and photography package.

FEATURE FILM COLLECTION

  • From prep to party. We typically start filming an hour before the bride goes into the make up chair. This allows us to shoot the beautiful details of the venue. If bridal and groom prep is not logistically close, then we will have a cinematographer with each.

  • There may be 3 of us but this allows us to be even more discreet during the ceremony. We operate a 3 camera set up, allowing us to capture reactions with minimal movement and stay out of the immediate ceremony area, space dependent.

  • This is a great complement to the feature edit and is easily shareable with friends and family online.

  • We are really able to tell your story in full, to introduce dialogue, to make you laugh, and to make you cry.

  • These are clips that we really want you to have, but don't fit into your edit. It can be anything from Prosecco induced antics, a clip of the band with the live music, or a ceremony reading. We do it this way because it ensures we don't have to crow bar into the edit something that doesn't fit the natural flow of the story but neither do we have to leave it out completely for you never to see. You will find the Deleted Scenes under the Bonus Features section on your Interactive video menu.

  • Speeches in Full: We produce a multi camera edit of the wonderful words said on your day, complete with reaction shots which really add to the impact. In our experience, speeches vary hugely in length and number of speakers from wedding to wedding. So, we have introduced a customisable pricing structure, priced according to the number of speeches. This means you never have to pay for more than what you require.

    Extra Coverage: If you expect the first dance to begin later than 10 hours after the bridal prep, you may add coverage by the hour. We will go through the schedule in great detail prior to the wedding to ensure we know the moments that are most important to you. The option of extra coverage gives you peace of mind, just knowing that it's all going to be captured without you clock watching.

    Wedding photography: We include our favourite film stills with all our collections. This is a lovely little bonus. However, if you would like to add dedicated wedding photography to your collection, we offer a combined videography and photography package.

For Jewish weddings, particularly those with more than 100 guests, we recommend opting for two videographers. This ensures comprehensive coverage, enabling us to film all the events of the day like the Tisch while simultaneously capturing the final bridal preparations. Such dual coverage ensures that every significant moment is captured from multiple angles, enriching the story of your day.
