London Wedding Videographer
Modern Wedding Videography Across London
London was my first home after graduating with a BA in Photography. I spent a decade immersed in the vibrant pulse of this city, and I echo Samuel Johnson’s sentiment,“When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford”. I love how weddings in London interact with the surroundings, giving a delightful juxtaposition between the elegance of the event and the bustling public — a perfect backdrop for soulful and elegant wedding films.
The opportunity to be a creative wedding videographer in London is endless. The motivation, for me, is to find a unique style for each couple; I don’t have a standard ‘London wedding style’. I have captured the Grandeur of St Paul’s Cathedral with sweeping shots of the tall ceilings and, contrastingly, the angular urban jungle that is the Barbican centre, incorporating its geometrics into my editing approach. That's why all my London wedding films carry a distinct style, look and feel, each resonating with the couple's character.
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!”

High-End London Wedding Videography
As demonstrated in the above films, each location in London offers a unique canvas that enhances the narrative of your wedding day. This allows me to craft films that are as distinct and vibrant as the city itself. Whether it’s the historic elegance or the contemporary urban setting, your London wedding film will be uniquely tailored to capture the essence of your personal love story and the spirited ambiance of London.
For example, in my film for Hannah and Richard, I filmed them driving over one of London's prettiest bridges, Prince Albert. Two onlookers in flip-flops and shorts cheered them on, prompting Hannah to raise her bouquet in the air, in response. In another London wedding video, camera gazes at two newly weds walking down the street and is broken by a passing red bus, which I then use as a transition to another scene.
CHOOSE YOUR LONDON WEDDING FILM EXPERIENCE
At Wagtail Productions, we understand that each couple has unique needs and preferences, which is why we offer a range of wedding film collections designed to suit diverse requirements.
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.

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.

The option of extra coverage gives you peace of mind, just knowing that it's all going to be captured without you clock watching.

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.
Each collection is customisable, allowing you to add features such as full speeches, additional coverage, and even a private cinema premiere of your film. We can also provide full wedding photography if you'd prefer to have one team handle it all.
