More than two thirds of couples choose not to have a video, and several surveys have shown that it’s often a couple’s number 1 regret afterwards. Before your wedding all the attention is on the day itself, but what are you left with when the cake and confetti are long gone? With a cinematic Orchid Films wedding video you are able to re-live the excitement and emotion of the day, not only seeing what happened but hearing it too.

The cost depends mainly on the type of film you’d like and how much of the day you’d like to be filmed. We offer a five minute Cameo highlights film or a longer 20-30 minute documentary style edit with a 2-3 minute trailer plus speeches, ceremony and first dance in full if you wish. If you’d like to let us know some details about your day (locations, time of ceremony) and what sort of film you’d like we can give you a personal quote.
As a guide, the starting price for a Cameo film covering the whole day is £750. There may also be an extra modest charge for travelling and overnight accommodation depending on the venue. If you’d like drone footage or a second videographer that can also be arranged.

Experience, talent and attention to detail.
On the day itself I’m calm and discreet, and through long experience know the best place to be and what will work in the edit. I make the most of available light, and am always on the look out for creative shots. The edit is where the movie magic happens. It’s all about story telling, which is where my BBC background kicks in. I know how to craft together stunning imagery with meaningful audio, leaving you with a wedding film that is beautiful, emotional and engaging.
I’ve covered most kinds of wedding, including same sex ceremonies, Asian weddings and elopements.

We’d be delighted if you chose us! Once we’ve confirmed your day is available we ask for a non-returnable booking fee to secure the date. The balance is due a month before the wedding, when we also arrange to meet up with you, preferably in person but sometimes via Skype, to go through the details of the day and answer any questions about filming.  We aim to deliver the final film within two months of your wedding.  You receive it on a USB suitable for Smart TV’s and computers or online, as the traditional wedding DVD has had its day!
