Wedding Highlight Films to Complement Your Lake District Wedding Photography
I now offer wedding highlight films as an optional add-on to my Lake District wedding photography packages. Photography will always be my priority, but using professional hybrid cameras, a DJI gimbal and (where time and weather allow) licensed drone footage, I can also create a beautifully edited 5–6 minute wedding highlight film.
My approach to wedding photography is natural, relaxed and fun — and the highlight films follow the same storytelling style. Rather than staged scenes, the film captures real moments and the atmosphere of your day (the bits you feel… and the bits you missed).
While I’m photographing, I can seamlessly capture short video clips during key moments without interrupting the flow of the day. These clips are then carefully combined to create a short, cinematic highlights video that complements your wedding gallery perfectly.
Your highlight film includes
- High-resolution delivery for download
- Playback via your online viewing gallery
- A mobile-friendly version that’s easy to save and share
- Music that is fully licensed for your peace of mind
Full details, pricing and options can be found on my Prices & Packages page. You can also explore examples of my work in the wedding gallery or read more about my documentary approach on my photography style.
Unobtrusive Coverage: Blending into the Background
One of the biggest reasons couples book me is because I keep things relaxed. I work quickly and efficiently for the formal group photos you want, but the majority of the day is captured in a documentary / reportage style — natural reactions, laughter, happy tears and the moments you don’t even realise are happening.
This unobtrusive approach also makes it possible to capture short video clips at the same time, without turning your wedding into a “production”. The end result is a highlight film that feels genuine, story-driven and true to your day.
Wedding Drone Photography & Aerial Film in the Lake District
I’m a registered CAA drone pilot and use DJI drone technology to capture dramatic aerial wedding photos and cinematic establishing footage when conditions and the venue setting are suitable.
Where possible, I’ll arrive early to capture venue shots that show the incredible landscape surrounding your wedding location — one of the biggest reasons couples choose the Lake District in the first place. This footage can also be used in your highlight film and in social reels should you wish.
A Great Add-On — Not a Replacement for a Wedding Videographer
Wedding highlight films are designed to complement your photography, not replace a dedicated wedding videographer or filmmaker. A full-time videographer can provide longer, more detailed coverage, often including full ceremony and speeches with recorded sound. My highlight films are different — they are short, music-led films made up of carefully selected clips, with no live audio recorded, designed to capture the atmosphere rather than document the day in full.
If you’re considering both photography and full videography, I’m always happy to recommend trusted professionals I’ve worked alongside over the years. And if you’d like a beautifully crafted short film that captures the emotion and atmosphere of your day, a highlight film is a perfect addition.
