Wedding Photography and Videography Packages in London

Your wedding day will be filled with moments you will want to remember: the excitement of getting ready, the emotion of the ceremony, the sound of the speeches and the energy of the evening celebration.

Wedding photography preserves these moments as timeless individual images, while videography allows you to hear the voices, music and laughter again. By booking a combined wedding photography and videography package in London, you can preserve the complete atmosphere of your celebration.

WedMagic offers flexible photography, videography and combined photo and video packages for intimate ceremonies, traditional celebrations and full-day weddings across London, Kent and the UK.

1.Why Book Wedding Photography and Videography Together?

Photographs and films preserve your wedding in different but complementary ways. A photograph can capture a single expression or detail perfectly, while video records movement, sound and the sequence of events.

Photography Preserves Timeless Moments

Professional wedding photography creates a carefully edited visual story that you can display, print and share for many years.
Your gallery can include:
  • Wedding dress, shoes, rings and personal details
  • Morning preparations
  • Guests arriving
  • The wedding ceremony
  • Ring exchange and first kiss
  • Confetti photographs
  • Family group pictures
  • Couple portraits
  • Reception details
  • Speeches and guest reactions
  • Cake cutting
  • First dance
  • Evening party

My approach combines natural documentary wedding photography with elegant portraits and gentle direction. Most of the day is photographed as it happens, allowing you to enjoy the celebration without spending hours posing.

You can explore more details on the WedMagic wedding packages page.

Videography Preserves Movement and Sound

Wedding videography gives you something photographs cannot: voices, movement and music.

A film allows you to hear your vows, relive the speeches and watch the first dance again. It can also preserve moments you did not see personally because they happened elsewhere during the celebration.

One Coordinated Creative Approach

Booking photography and videography through the same company can make planning simpler. Your team can coordinate positions, timings and priorities before the wedding.

This helps reduce the risk of photographers and videographers blocking one another during important moments. It also creates a more consistent visual style across your photographs and films.

You can see an example of how WedMagic combines the two formats in my article about photo and video at a wedding.

Why Do I Photograph Weddings with Two Cameras?

I always work with two professional cameras. This provides essential backup protection and allows me to use different lenses without repeatedly stopping to change equipment.

One camera can capture wide photographs showing the complete atmosphere, while the second can be used for emotional close-ups, portraits and spontaneous reactions.

3.Full-Day Wedding Videography Package in London

A dedicated wedding video team is the best option for couples who want detailed coverage of their ceremony, speeches and reception.

What Is Included in the Videography Package?

  • Morning preparation footage
  • Wedding venue and detail footage
  • Full ceremony recording
  • Full speeches recording
  • Short musical wedding highlight film
  • Full-length wedding film
  • Reception and party coverage
  • Drone footage where permitted, safe and weather conditions allow

Full Ceremony Recording

Your ceremony is the heart of the wedding day. A complete recording allows you to hear the vows, readings, music and words spoken by the registrar or celebrant. It can be particularly meaningful for relatives and friends who were unable to attend in person.

Wedding Speeches Recording

Speeches are often filled with stories, laughter and emotional memories. Professional recording preserves both the speaker and the reactions of the couple and guests.
Clear planning is important so the team can position cameras and audio equipment before the speeches begin.

Short Wedding Highlight Film

A highlight film brings together selected moments from the day in a concise and emotional format. It is ideal for sharing with family, friends and on social media.

Full-Length Wedding Film

A full wedding film preserves the day in greater detail. It can include preparations, arrivals, the ceremony, speeches, couple footage, cake cutting, first dance and evening celebration.

4.Combined Wedding Photography and Videography Package

Some couples prefer a streamlined package in which photography and video are created by the same professional.


This package provides 10 hours of combined coverage at £250 per hour.
It includes:
  • 650+ professionally edited photographs
  • Full ceremony recording
  • Full speeches recording
  • Short musical highlight film
  • Full-length wedding film
  • Drone footage where permitted and conditions allow

Who Is This Combined Package Suitable For?

This option may work well for couples who want photography to remain the main focus while also preserving the ceremony, speeches and selected video moments.
The filming approach is planned carefully in advance. Fixed cameras may be used to record longer events such as the ceremony and speeches while photography continues.
For larger weddings, complicated schedules or couples wanting extensive cinematic coverage from multiple perspectives, I recommend working with a separate professional video team.

What Is Photographed and Filmed During a Full Wedding Day?

Every wedding is different, but full-day coverage usually follows the main stages of your celebration.

Morning Wedding Preparations
Morning coverage can include the wedding dress, rings, jewellery, stationery, flowers and final stages of hair and makeup.
It also preserves relaxed interactions with parents, bridesmaids, groomsmen and other close family members. These small moments help establish the atmosphere at the beginning of your wedding story.

The Wedding Ceremony
The ceremony is documented from several perspectives where venue rules allow. Photography captures expressions and key moments, while video preserves the vows, music and spoken words.
Your team should discuss positioning with the registrar, celebrant or venue coordinator before the ceremony begins.

Confetti and Family Photographs
After the ceremony, we can organise a confetti exit followed by family group photographs.
A prepared family list and one helpful guest who knows everyone can make this stage quicker and more relaxed. This leaves more time for natural guest photographs and couple portraits.

Couple’s Wedding Portraits
I usually recommend allowing at least 20–30 minutes for relaxed couple portraits. This session does not need to involve complicated or uncomfortable posing.
I provide gentle guidance while encouraging natural movement and interaction. The result is a combination of timeless portraits and genuine moments.

Wedding Breakfast and Speeches
During the reception, photography captures table details, conversations, laughter and guest reactions. Videography preserves the complete speeches and the voices of the people closest to you.

First Dance and Evening Party
The first dance marks the transition into the evening celebration. Professional lighting and careful positioning allow both photographs and video to capture the movement, atmosphere and reactions of your guests.

5.Should You Add a Second Photographer?

A second photographer can be valuable when your wedding has a large number of guests, preparations at different locations or simultaneous events.
Benefits of a Second Wedding Photographer

A second photographer can:
  • Cover both partners getting ready
  • Capture alternative ceremony angles
  • Photograph guests while the couple has portraits
  • Provide more reception coverage
  • Document simultaneous moments
  • Add another level of equipment backup
I particularly recommend considering a second photographer for larger celebrations and complex wedding schedules.

6.Can Wedding Drone Footage Be Included?

Drone footage can show your venue, grounds and surrounding landscape from a dramatic aerial perspective.

When Is Wedding Drone Filming Possible?
Drone operation depends on:
  • Venue permission
  • Local airspace restrictions
  • Weather conditions
  • Guest and public safety
  • Suitable take-off and landing areas
  • Time available in the wedding schedule
Because these conditions cannot always be controlled, drone footage is offered where legally permitted, safe and practically possible. It should be considered a valuable addition rather than a guaranteed part of every wedding.

7.How to Choose the Right Wedding Photo and Video Package

Consider which memories matter most to you and how you would like to experience them after the wedding.

Choose Photography If You Mainly Want
  • A complete gallery of timeless images
  • Fine-art prints and a presentation box
  • Natural documentary moments
  • Elegant couple and family portraits
  • Photographs for albums, frames and social media
Choose Videography If You Mainly Want
  • Your vows recorded
  • Complete speeches
  • Movement and natural sound
  • A musical wedding highlight
  • A film showing the atmosphere of the celebration
Choose Combined Coverage If You Want Both
Combined photography and videography provide the most complete record of your wedding. You will have individual photographs to print and display together with films that bring the voices and movement of the day back to life.
