This weekend we were filming a wedding video in Claridges hotel London. London Wedding Videos are always very glamorous affairs and this was no exception. Claridges is a wonderful venue and the bride and groom were a wonderful couple. There are quite a few clips of wedding videos we have shot in Claridges in our sample clips if anyone would like to see this venue. There are larger examples in our free DVD show reel too. I think wedding videos give huge scope for presenting a mixture of filming and editing styles. The day is always a combination of romance, family reunion, making new acquaintances and love. I have been filming wedding videos for over 18 years all over the UK and I always enjoy them. Having lived in London for over 20 years, I am particularly fond of filming in London. One can take one’s own city for granted but a wedding video always reminds me of what a wonderful city London is. Our clients are from many different cultures and backgrounds and their weddings reflect this diversity. I feel very privileged to have witnessed so many different cultures and wedding ceremonies and to have shared in those very intimate moments.

The previous weekend we had the pleasure of leaving London to a shoot a wedding video in the New Forest, Hampshire. Although we are a London based wedding video company, we travel al over the UK and it adds little to the cost of the day for the client. By the way, our prices are available to view on-line in the “prices” section of our website at www.movingimagefilms.co.uk. The wedding started at 3pm but we arrived sometime before that to catch preparations. A beautiful church in the heart of Winchester. The guests had travelled from all over the UK and the build up to the Wedding was fantastic. When creating a wedding video, the time of the guests arrival is one of the most exciting and important parts. A wedding video is a very lively and exciting film and the sight of all the guests, dressed in their finest outfits, full of anticipation and looking forward to showering the couple with love and affection, is one of the best sequences. People LOVE a wedding. The drama builds as the groom and his close family arrive. People take their seats before the Bride finally arrives looking beautiful. The church falls silent when word spreads that she has arrived. The priest goes out to greet her. Heads turn to catch the first glimpse.
All this drama makes a great wedding video and is one of the most exciting parts of the video. We carefully placed cameras, we caught all of the action and the sequence will look beautiful.

Many of these are available to view in sample clips. Please contact Moving Image for any more information.

Most of the weddings we film are based in London. However, we don’t just shoot London Wedding videos but travel all over the UK and Europe . Whatever the location, we always remember the purpose of the wedding film: it is a reminder of a wonderful day and of the friends and relatives who joined with you in the celebration. We always identify our approach with our clients. It is important to spend time getting prepared, pre-plan capturing key moments and getting good audio in the key moments. We also take many cutaways under all the conditions (you can never take too many cutaways). You can find out how we work in our How we Work and About Us section.


We remind our clients that in 10 years down the road you'll be more interested in the people who attended than in yourselves. Sure, you want to see how you looked and all those things, but "look, there's grandpa and aunt Flo" become treasured sights. And all those speeches are always included in full with good audio. These can be so lovely to revisit a few years later.

After the Church, we always try and capture lots of interactions between people -- parents being congratulated, friends chatting. This is a nice scene as it’s the first few moments of the couple of husband and wife and when the celebrations begin.


A great deal of our work is done in post (during the edit). We take our work very seriously – so this can take up to 8 weeks during the busy season. But, its an important memento and should not be rushed!
