Christian weddings
Church ceremonies, filmed beautifully.
From vows exchanged before God to the confetti outside, covered with respect for what the ceremony actually is.
The vows are the moment
A Christian wedding turns on a sacred exchange of vows before God and the people who came. Everything else in the day is arranged around those ninety seconds.
So that is what we build the coverage around. The processional shot from both ends, the walk in, and the faces at the top of the aisle waiting. The declarations and the vows close and locked on. The rings, the register, the recessional.
Churches vary as much as any other place of worship in what they permit: some allow free movement, some restrict you to one position at the back, some forbid filming during prayers. We confirm with your vicar or priest in advance and work inside whatever the answer is.
We also film a great many Christian ceremonies as one half of a fusion wedding, which is its own craft, see the fusion page if that is your day.
What we cover
Getting ready through to the last dance.
- 01
Getting ready
The morning at home or the hotel, the dress, the details, and the family in the room before anyone is performing for a camera.
- 02
The processional
The bride's entrance, covered from the aisle and from the front, because the reaction waiting at the altar is half the moment.
- 03
Vows & rings
The declarations, the vows and the ring exchange, the binding moment of an English ceremony, filmed close with the audio properly mic'd.
- 04
The register
The signatures and the witnesses. The quiet, official beat between the ceremony and the celebration, covered without staging it.
- 05
Recessional & confetti
The first walk back down the aisle as a married couple, and the confetti outside where the church allows it.
- 06
Reception
Speeches, the first dance, the cake and the dancefloor, plus the formal family groups, which matter more to Christian families than most.
Coverage
Most Christian weddings are a single long day rather than a week.

We don't publish prices, because no two of these weddings are the same. Tell us the date, the venue and how many events you are running, and we will send an itemised quote with nothing to decode.

Why couples book us for church weddings
We understand what the sacred part of the day is, and we film it that way.
The vow moment
It is the emotional core of the ceremony and it happens once. We position for your voice, your partner's reaction and the weight of it, film so you can hear it again, stills so you can see the face they made.
We know how churches work
Available light in a stone building with high windows is its own problem, and most churches restrict where you can stand. We have worked in a lot of them and we plan around the constraints rather than arguing with them.
We treat it as a service, not a shoot
A wedding in a church is an act of worship with guests, not a photoshoot with a religious backdrop. Behaving accordingly is the whole job, and clergy notice immediately when a crew doesn't.
Questions
Before you ask.
Can we have cameras in the church?
Almost always, but the rules vary a lot, some churches restrict movement, some ask you not to film during prayers. We contact your church beforehand, confirm the policy, and plan the coverage around it.
Can you start with getting ready?
Yes. Most couples have us start at the house or hotel in the morning and run through to the reception. It is where a lot of the best unguarded footage comes from.
Are the formal family photographs included?
Yes, and we plan time for them properly. A list agreed in advance is the difference between twenty minutes and an hour of everyone standing around after the service.
Do you film the confetti?
If the church permits it. Most now do, outside. It is one of the few genuinely choreographed moments worth choreographing.
Can we ask for specific shots?
Please do. Tell us at the consultation who matters and what you want covered, and we build it into the plan rather than trying to remember it on the day.
Ours is a church ceremony and an Asian ceremony. Can you do both?
Yes. That is a lot of what we film now. See the fusion page: one crew across both, and one grade, so it plays as a single wedding rather than two videos.
