Wedding films: 6 planning steps every couple should know

Your wedding film is the only record that gives back the moments you miss in the rush of the day. The result depends on planning as much as on the crew's skill.

1. Choose your style

Natural documentary storytelling, or a cinematic, music-led film? Watch examples and share the ones you like with the team.

2. Map the day together

Confirm timings for getting ready, the couple shoot, ceremony, dinner and first dance. Plan the couple shoot around sunset.

3. List key people and moments

Grandparents, close friends, surprise speeches. The list makes sure nothing is missed in the crowd.

4. Prepare for sound

Vows and speeches are the emotional backbone of the film. Discuss the venue's sound system and lavalier mics in advance.

5. Drone and venue permissions

Drone shots may need permission depending on the venue and area; confirm with the venue and crew beforehand.

6. Delivery formats

A full film, a one-minute highlight and vertical reels for social media. Agree on delivery times and music licensing up front.
