Special Day Films

Let us capture the small details of your big day! Please note, these prices are for weddings within a 50 mile radius of York.

We take tremendous pride in our work and our prices are based on the time and care we’ll be putting into the finished product. We don’t have rigid price packages, we prefer to be more flexible so that you get a video or series of videos that are tailor-made for you and capture the parts of the day most important to you. We have two options which we use as a jumping-off point; you tell us if there’

s anything you’d like adding in, changing, or taking out entirely, and we will put together a price for your totally bespoke video package. Also, aerial footage is dependent on favourable weather and permission from your venue! Option one: £1015
- Full-length ceremony video
- Full-length speeches video
- Highlight video (roughly 5 minutes long)
- Aerial footage of the venue
- 3 copies on eco-friendly USB sticks, with upgrade options
- Online video hosting
- Option to add pre-wedding time capsule video

This option includes the ceremony and speeches in full (we believe these are a must-have!) plus a 5 minute highlights video with shots from the whole day. I arrive at 11am-ish, ready to capture the atmosphere and excitement of you and your guests, and I’ll stay until 9pm-ish. You’ll get three copies of the finished videos on eco-friendly USB sticks (with the option to swap out for DVDs or BluRay, and a chance to upgrade to personalised wooden USB sticks and matching gift box), and the videos will also be hosted online to make it easier to share with friends and family. Option two: £1800
- Extended pre-ceremony preparations video
- Full-length ceremony video
- Extended reception video
- Full-length speeches video
- Extended evening reception video
- Longer Highlight video (roughly 10 minutes)
- Your music choices for the highlights
- Sneak preview of the highlights video
- Aerial footage of the venue
- Second camera operator
- Online video hosting
- Option to schedule a watch-along premiere
- 3 copies on eco-friendly USB sticks, with upgrade options
- Option to add pre-wedding time capsule video

This option includes the morning preparations, the ceremony, the reception, the speeches, cutting the cake and the first dance. You’ll get a highlights video (roughly 10-15 minutes and set to your music choices) plus an extended video bundle with full length versions of the speeches and the ceremony, as well as a longer look at the preparations, reception and evening reception. This price includes aerial footage of the venue, plus a second camera operator (which means we can get better coverage of the most important parts of your day). As with option one, we arrive at 11am-ish and stay until 9pm-ish, and you’ll get three copies of the finished video on eco-friendly USB sticks (with the option to swap out for DVDs or BluRay, and a chance to upgrade to personalised wooden USB sticks and matching gift box). We’ll host the highlights video online along with any of the extended films you'd like us to upload to make it easier to share your special day with friends and family. You also get a first-look sneak preview of the video before the full version premieres, and we can even schedule an online watch-along for your friends and family when the video premieres. Bespoke packages (and something for the nostalgia-heads)

As we said, these prices are a jumping-off point and it can all be tailored to you. It’s entirely possible to have a full day highlights film and cherry-pick just one or two extended films from the day. And we’re happy to arrive and leave at whatever times suit you. Maybe you are having fireworks in the evening that you’d like us to stay for. Maybe you’re not bothering with any speeches. Just let us know and we’ll put together something that’s fully customised, just for you. Another service we offer is pre-wedding interviews; these are great fun to watch back in years to come, and a perfect addition to a wedding video package! These cost £265 if you book them in advance of the wedding day, or £165 if you’re able to schedule them for the day itself. If you have a real soft spot for the wedding videos of the 70s, 80s, 90s or 00s our Super LoFi videos could be right up your street (we’re assuming your street still has a Blockbuster on it). These cost £650 and are full of VHS flavour, and if you want to know more, you’ll have to email us…!

Really proud to have worked alongside IDOPyork to produce the films which will be screened across the city - they turned out great (even if we say so ourselves) and we can't wait for people to see them!

The programme runs until October 2, as part of the well-established 50+ Festival, which also takes in the UN International Day of Older Persons…

This is not a filter! This church has a secret hatch in the ceiling so flower petals can be dropped as the newlyweds kiss! 🤯

It was a real privilege to be involved in one of these projects and to be entrusted with someone's personal story.

On the 80th anniversary of D Day we want to pay our respects to the veterans we have worked with over the last few years. On this day in 1944, Codename Operation Overlord commenced, with 156,000 Allied Troops landing by sea and air on 5 beaches in Normandy.

On Saturday, we premiered the short film In The Footsteps of Hank Haydock - verbatim stories of war from Dennis 'Hank' Haydock. Before this was made, it was a live play - socially distanced during covid in Duncombe Park, Helmsley

We had the honour of having veterans Doug Petty, Sid Metcalfe, and Ken Cooke (pictured here with actor George Stagnell) in the audience of this play, alongside Gloria, the wife of the late Ken Smith.

We are also pleased to have their stories told at Yorkshire Air Museum as part of a trail. Those important stories are currently also on our YouTube, and they deserve to be heard wherever you may find them.

With thanks to Everwitch Theatre Special Day Films Helmsley Arts Centre York Normandy Veterans and many others that have allowed these stories to still be told.

Who doesn't like a good blooper reel? Here's the one from The Bloody Tour of York with Mad Alice from a few years back, which required liberal use of the censor bleep button.

Here's what we get up to when we're not working on video projects!

Carecent York is a breakfast centre for all homeless, unemployed or otherwise socially excluded members of the community. Go to www.carecent.org.uk if you'd like to know more, or make a donation.

MEET THE TEAM 👋

This is Adam, who is a team leader on a Wednesday shift.

He cannot remember how long he has been here but thinks that it has been around 7/8 years. He started on the relief team.

He states his favourite thing about Carecent is meeting all the other volunteers.

People are still enjoying these videos we filmed with The Bloody Tour of York way back in 2020 - if you've not seen them yet, they're bloody brilliant (pun intended).

If you're in York or planning a visit, we definitely recommend booking in for a walking tour, and give Mad Alice's socials a follow for more ghoulish tales from York's history! 🕯️🗡️⛓️ 🦇 🪦 👻

Here's a peek into the process! We've launched straight into 2024 with an edit on KPOW!, a short film written by . It's based on the experiences of .ntalk2021 and others as they've gone through cancer treatment.

Thanks to and for part funding, and of , & for help with cameras, lights and sound.

I'm really excited to share the highlights video of Ameena & Asad's special day. It was such a nice project to work on - photogenic people, delicious food and a great atmosphere - a wedding videographer's dream! I also got to attend the mehndi a couple of days beforehand and meet the bride's family, which was a real privilege - if you've not seen the highlights video from that, check our posts from last year! 🤩

(I'd also like to mention that at least one of the music choices have now been added to my personal "certified bangers" Spotify playlist!). Let me know if you want any of the track titles so you can do the same! 🎧

How to remain young, without getting all "Picture Of Dorian Gray" about it.

Earlier this year we met with with InkBlot Films and hung out with Gavin Ramjaun to shoot him hosting this special Saga Spaces talk with Dr Andrew Steele. The talk is titled "Getting Older Without Getting Old" and it could be exact thing you need on a miserable Sunday afternoon...?

In this Saga Spaces Talk Dr Andrew Steele explores the cutting-edge scientific research that is paving the way to actually slow down the ageing process; and ...

Was this our most disappointing wedding? 😤

We'd heard a rumour that Paige and Sam were going to do the "Dirty Dancing lift" as part of their first dance, but Sam had a wrist injury so it didn't happen. What a let down! 😆 Seriously though, Paige and Sam couldn't have been more lovely and their wedding was super romantic 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨 - check out that kiss as they leave the ceremony! 😍

Venue: Runa Farm

If we had one criticism of this wedding, it'd be that Sam had hurt his wrist and they were unable to do the Dirty Dancing lift that had been rumoured to be…

We can't explain how great it was seeing this reaction from Paige and Sam as they see their wedding video for the first time! ❤️

Capturing all the little moments from your big day is what we're here for, and we're so pleased that Paige and Sam will be able to watch this with their family and friends for years to come.

If you had to find someone to give a talk on the topic 'Finding Joy and Resilience in Exercise' who else could possibly be more appropriate than the iconic Mr Motivator??

You may have seen earlier this month that we had the pleasure of teaming up with InkBlot Films and Mr Motivator to shoot a series of exercise videos for Saga Spaces. A week later we were invited back to Derrick (we're on first name terms now)'s house to set up a live streamed talk he was giving with Gavin Ramjaun. It's now available to watch on demand at https://saga-spaces.com/wellbeing/mr-motivator-and-me and it was a really interesting insight into the back story of an absolute icon.

As Gavin said, off-camera: "what a legend". 😎

Do you have a soft spot for that vintage film look? We brought the 8mm film stock vibes for Alistair & Fiona's confetti throw! 📽️ (Also, can we just say? What a gorgeous couple!)

All aboard! What a fantastic way to get from the ceremony to the reception! Claire & Rich arrived at Thirsk Lodge Barns in style! Fun fact: the bride's dad restored and maintains the bus!

No matter how banging the party is, when your venue has a lake like this, you just have to dip out for 5 minutes to take in the view. 😍 Heather & Will's wedding at The Orangery at Settrington was absolutely gorgeous (DM us if you want a link to the full highlights) and we also need to thank them for introducing me to this track by Clean Bandit!👌

Kate & Danny's outdoor ceremony really brought the sunshine! ☀️ With the summer we've had, who else wishes they were there? 🙋 This wedding was pure good vibes and we've been lucky to have made more than one video for this group of friends - word of mouth bookings are the best! 💕 If you want a videographer for your special day, get in touch! #yorkweddingvideo #weddingvideoyork #weddingvideoyorkshire #weddingplanning #weddinginspiration #weddinginspo

"SAY YEAH!" Despite a rubbish start to the morning (Jay's car was vandalised), it dramatically improved with a shoot day with the one and only Mr Motivator and his badass team of Motivators. If I start putting in the hours now, hopefully I'll be in such good shape when I hit 70! Also, is this the first ever video shoot to finish ahead of schedule?? It's always a blast to team up with InkBlot Films and getting to work with EY3 Media for this Saga project was a real joy - thanks for having me along! Special thanks to Anna and the Saga team for looking after us on our visit to the city, as well as the chaps at Manchester Hall who went above and beyond. Can't wait to meet up with the man himself again next week for a Saga Spaces talk - head to www.saga-spaces.com for tickets!

Throwback: Spring 2019 at the Yorkshire Arboretum, with plein air artist Lesley Seeger

Our Story

The three of us have been making wedding videos together since 2005 and we recently realised that our favourite jobs are the ones where the couples have put their own stamp on things. So we decided that we really wanted to meet more and more couples with the desire to make their big day, THEIR big day. For this reason, every wedding we now film is tailored entirely to you and the things that you’re passionate about, whether that’s a love of all things rock & roll, offbeat love stories, or simply a determination to throw out the clichés and have a wedding day that’s as individual as you are.
