Hybrid Photo & Video Coverage for Weddings
As modern camera technology advances, hybrid photo and video coverage is becoming an increasingly popular choice. With powerful gear capable of capturing both high-quality photos and cinematic video, couples are now able to enjoy the best of both worlds—without needing a large team on the day. It's ideal for those looking to streamline their wedding, save a little on cost, and keep the atmosphere relaxed and natural, without feeling like they’re surrounded by paparazzi.
Bradley uses cutting-edge Sony A1 cameras that seamlessly switch between stills and video, along with a custom-designed dual-camera rig allowing him to shoot both formats simultaneously when needed. Drone footage is also included whenever it's feasible, adding that extra cinematic flair.
Using four cameras in total, Bradley can film from three separate angles while also capturing photos during key events like the ceremony and speeches. Unlike many hybrid shooters who toggle between photo or video, Bradley offers uninterrupted coverage—so nothing important is missed. To keep things as unobtrusive as possible, silver light stands replace bulky tripods, helping preserve your carefully planned décor.
Beyond the financial benefits, having one hybrid shooter also brings a few unique perks. Bradley can position himself centrally in the aisle without clashing with other vendors, ensuring great angles and minimal disruption. His low-key setup keeps the focus on your day, not the cameras.
Hybrid coverage is especially well-suited to more straightforward wedding setups—like those held in a single venue. It can still work for larger or more complex weddings, but there are limitations to be aware of. For instance, if two brides need full prep coverage in different locations at the same time, it could be tricky. However, for most bride and groom preparations—where groom coverage is often shorter or optional—it works smoothly.
During portrait sessions, Bradley might ask you to repeat moments briefly to capture both stills and motion, but this is typically wrapped up in 15 minutes or so. While there might be fewer total images or angles compared to having a full team, the essential moments and emotions will be beautifully captured. And if you're the kind of couple who just want a handful of standout images for your home, this could be a perfect fit.
Hybrid is great for couples who don’t need an exhaustive list of detailed shots or a traditional photo album. It suits those who prefer a natural, candid feel, with light posing guidance when needed. While it’s best for smaller celebrations in one main location, ceremonies in churches are still possible—just keep in mind Bradley will need a bit of setup time for the video equipment, so a well-planned schedule helps.
Bradley also regularly works alongside his wife and other experienced photographers, and is happy to collaborate when needed. Two creatives are certainly useful for managing large groups or bigger events. When solo, he may ask a bridesmaid or groomsman to help gather people for group shots.
In short, hybrid coverage isn’t designed for high-budget, high-complexity weddings—but it’s a fantastic option for intimate events, couples focused primarily on film, or those who want a simple set of portraits alongside a beautifully told wedding story on video. A highlight film paired with a few printed photos might be all you need—and far more likely to be revisited than a thick album gathering dust.
