FAQs
Everything you need to know about wedding videography, our process, pricing, and delivery — so you can feel confident your wedding memories will be captured beautifully.
Planning Your Wedding Film
Planning a wedding involves hundreds of decisions, and choosing your wedding videographer is one of the most important. Your wedding film will be the one thing you rewatch on every anniversary, share with your children, and return to whenever you want to relive the happiest day of your life — which is why it deserves careful thought. At Redbeard Film Co, we believe a wedding film should feel like your day — relaxed, emotional, and story-driven. We capture the laughter during the preparations, the emotion of the ceremony, the speeches that make the room go quiet, the first dance, and the spontaneous moments in between. Our approach is natural and documentary-style, meaning we film your day as it unfolds rather than directing it, so every smile, every tear, and every heartfelt word is genuine.
Based in Lichfield, Staffordshire, we work with couples getting married all across the Midlands and throughout the UK at a wide variety of venues — from grand country houses and rustic barns to intimate elopements and city celebrations. Whether you already have a venue booked or are still deciding where to get married, we can capture your story wherever it takes place, working seamlessly alongside your other suppliers to ensure your day runs smoothly and every beautiful moment is preserved forever.

general Questions
A wedding film captures the sounds, movement, and emotion of your day in a way photography alone cannot. You will hear the laughter during your vows, the tremor in your voice as you say "I do", the cheers as you walk back down the aisle, and the heartfelt words from your parents and best friends. While photography freezes a single moment, a wedding film preserves the full atmosphere — the energy on the dance floor, the tearful hugs, and the unscripted moments that make your wedding uniquely yours.
Our wedding film packages cover everything from relaxed morning wedding preparations through to the evening party, ensuring no special moment is missed. Each package includes a full cinematic feature film telling your love story from start to finish, plus a shorter highlight trailer perfect for sharing on social media and with friends and family. Different tiers offer varying hours of coverage, additional photographers, and downloadable film delivery.
Based in Lichfield in the Midlands, we cover weddings across Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Warwickshire, and throughout the UK. We are happy to travel to your venue wherever it may be — whether you are getting married at a grand stately home, a rustic barn, a countryside estate, or a city location. Just let us know where your wedding is, and we will be there.
Many couples choose to book videography and photography together for complete coverage of their day. Our Cinematic Duo package pairs a dedicated videographer with a professional photographer who work side-by-side to capture your wedding from every angle. The videographer focuses on capturing the sound and movement, while the photographer freezes the key moments. Booking together also offers better value and guarantees the two teams coordinate seamlessly on the day.
Yes, we capture weddings throughout the year and across all days of the week. While Saturday weddings are the most popular, we regularly film ceremonies on Fridays, Sundays, and even weekday celebrations — especially popular for elopements and micro-weddings. Each season brings its own beauty, from spring garden venues to cosy winter weddings by the fire.
process Questions
Once you book, the real work begins — but the enjoyable kind. We will have an initial chat to hear all about your wedding plans, your venue, and what matters most to you. We stay in touch in the run-up to the day, and your venue coordinator will know we are coming. On the day itself, we work unobtrusively to capture every genuine moment. After the wedding, we carefully edit your cinematic film and deliver it within approximately 8–10 weeks, polished and ready to watch and share.
We pride ourselves on an unobtrusive, documentary-style approach. On the morning we capture the natural preparation and emotions, during the ceremony we stay positioned to capture the key moments while remaining discreet, and throughout the day we observe and film as things unfold naturally rather than staging them. This allows the genuine emotions, laughter, and organic interactions to shine through in the final film — making it feel personal and authentic to you.
When permitted by the venue and weather conditions, we can include stunning aerial drone footage of your wedding venue and grounds. This adds a spectacular cinematic element to your wedding film, showing the full scale and beauty of your chosen location. We always confirm venue permissions and weather in advance to ensure we can include this magical perspective responsibly.
