North Wales · photography and wedding video
North Wales wedding video, with your photography taken care of.
The photographs matter. So do the little movements you might otherwise forget: a reassuring hand, a laugh during the speeches, the two of you heading back to your guests.
I’m Mark. I’ve photographed weddings since 2006, and my video options come alongside your photography. Choose a music-led highlight, or add full ceremony and speeches recordings with a dedicated videographer. You can watch real examples below and decide what you’d like to keep from your own day.
Photo and video from £899. No travel charges anywhere in North Wales.
Watch real wedding videos
Have a proper watch, rather than judging everything from a few seconds on social media. These are complete highlights; full ceremony and speeches recordings are a separate part of Platinum and Ultimate coverage.
Steve & Nathan at Plas Maenan, North Wales
A real North Wales wedding highlight from my own YouTube channel. Watch Steve and Nathan’s day at Plas Maenan to see the atmosphere, people and movement that photographs alone cannot show.
See their Plas Maenan photographs as well.
Emma & Adam at Grosvenor Pulford, Cheshire
A second example from Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa near Chester, on the Cheshire side of the border. This is a Cheshire wedding, included so you can compare another complete highlight video.
Which photo and video coverage fits your day?
Gold · £899
Full-day photography and a music-led highlight video of around 5–7 minutes. I photograph the day and capture short video clips. This does not include full ceremony or speeches recordings.
Platinum · £1,350
Photography, a highlight video and full ceremony and speeches recordings. A dedicated videographer records the ceremony and speeches while I photograph your wedding and capture highlights.
Ultimate · £1,799
Everything in Platinum, plus the selfie booth and three luxury 12 × 12 inch wedding albums. See the packages page for the booth timings and full inclusions.
Full-day coverage is eight hours or until just after the first dance, whichever comes first. Extra hours are available separately. Compare the current package details and optional extras before booking.
Every full-day package includes the wedding planner app, private gallery and free guest QR uploads for photographs, video clips and voice messages. Guest uploads give you your friends’ side of the day alongside the professional coverage.
Normally, photographs are ready in 3–5 working days and highlights in 7–10 working days.
The people, the atmosphere and the bits you didn’t see
A North Wales backdrop can be lovely, but the moments I look for are often much closer: a parent’s face, your friends laughing together, someone quietly wiping away a tear. I’d rather capture those than turn your wedding into a production.
We’ll make time for photographs of you together and the family groups, with enough direction to help you feel comfortable. The highlight clips come from the day around that. You don’t need to repeat everything for a camera.
A highlight and a full recording do different jobs
A highlight brings back the feel of the day through movement and music. A full ceremony or speeches video lets you return to the words. Neither replaces the other, so it is worth deciding what you want to watch again before choosing a package.
Planning the film around your North Wales wedding
Tell me where you’re getting ready, where the ceremony is and whether the reception is somewhere else. We can allow for the journey and discuss any venue restrictions before the wedding, rather than discover them during the ceremony.
For Platinum and Ultimate, the dedicated videographer and I plan our positions together. We need a clear view without getting in each other’s way or blocking your guests. If you have readings, surprises or particular people you want included, let me know.
Still choosing a venue? My North Wales venue guide has viewing pointers and links to real weddings. For photographs without video, start with my North Wales wedding photography page. The hybrid and highlight guide explains the approach in more detail.
What to ask before booking a wedding videographer
Whether you book me or somebody else, ask these questions and make sure the answers describe the coverage you are actually buying:
- Who covers the day? Confirm whether one person is capturing photos and highlight clips, or a dedicated videographer is recording the ceremony and speeches.
- What will we receive? Watch a complete highlight and ask for examples of any full recordings you want.
- How is sound recorded? Ask about microphones, venue restrictions and what is included in your film.
- What happens if plans change? Discuss timings, extra hours, equipment backups and the arrangements if someone is ill.
- What is in the booking agreement? Check insurance, payment dates, delivery and cancellation terms in writing.
I carry spare cameras and use dual-card recording for my photographs. I’m happy to explain the arrangements for your booked photo and video coverage; I won’t promise that nothing could ever go wrong. If I were unable to attend, I would try carefully selected associates, but I cannot guarantee someone would be available. If no cover were available, I would refund the money paid, including the deposit.
For the photographs too, my wedding photography checklist helps you think through the people and moments that matter.
From your first question to your finished gallery
Send me your date and venue and I’ll check availability, then email a full quote and the information you need. You can ask as many questions as you like by phone or email. I’d much rather you understood the choices than booked something that wasn’t right for you.
The deposit is £100 for Gold, or £150 for Platinum or Ultimate. Your date is secured when the deposit is paid. The balance is normally due 45 days before the wedding, with payment options available.
Before the day we’ll go through your timings, family photographs and any concerns. Afterwards, your private couples gallery brings together the finished photographs and videos included in your package. The free full-day guest QR uploads add your guests’ photographs, clips and voice messages.
A few useful answers
Does a highlight video include our vows and speeches in full?
No. Gold’s highlight is a music-led film of around 5–7 minutes, made from short clips alongside your photographs. If hearing your ceremony and speeches in full matters to you, Platinum and Ultimate include those separate recordings, with a dedicated videographer alongside me.
How do you record the sound for ceremony and speeches videos?
For the full recordings included with Platinum and Ultimate, we plan the microphones and recording arrangements with your venue and the person leading the ceremony. Outdoor conditions and any recording restrictions need checking beforehand. A music-led highlight is a different type of film.
Do you charge travel expenses for North Wales weddings?
No. There are no travel expenses or travel charges for weddings anywhere in North Wales. This also applies to shorter photography bookings, not just full-day packages.
What if we are both camera shy?
Please don’t worry. I’ve naturally developed a calm, relaxed approach over the years. I’ll give you gentle help when you need it, and I won’t ask you to do something you’re uncomfortable with. Most of the day is about what happens around you, rather than performing for the camera.
When will we receive our photographs and highlight video?
Photographs are normally delivered in 3–5 working days and the highlight video in 7–10 working days. We’ll confirm the delivery arrangements for your booked coverage. Your private gallery gives you somewhere to enjoy, download and share the finished work.
Is drone footage included?
Gold, Platinum and Ultimate include drone footage where it is permitted and the weather and location allow safe flying. It can show the setting beautifully, but I can’t promise a flight on every wedding day. Your people and the moments on the ground still come first.
Tell me about your North Wales wedding
Start with your date, venue and whether you’d like highlights or full ceremony and speeches recordings as well. You don’t have to have everything planned. I’ll reply personally and help you choose what fits.
