74% of couples on wedissimo book a full day videography package. This allows your videographer to be present and film the entire day, from preparations through to first dance and cutting of the cake. Across the whole of the UK, couples typically pay around £1,200 for a full day videography package, with most spending between £750 and £1,874, with packages in London starting at £650. Much of what you are paying for with videography is in the edit, and you should therefore expect to pay significantly more for longer feature films than a ten-minute highlight video even if the videographer is with you 'all day' on the day itself.

Based on UK-wide wedissimo data (August 2026), couples typically pay around £1,200 for a full day videography package, with most spending between £750 and £1,874. Full day packages in London start at £650. For a half day package and a short highlight video, couples typically pay £750, and ceremony-only video packages are typically priced around £600. You may find higher price ranges quoted by other studies online, but our booking data is based on real-life bookings rather than self-reported surveys, and runs below oft-quoted figures which typically range from £1,800 to £2,800.
It's important to review the videographer's work on wedissimo and choose a style and edit that matches what you are looking for. Beyond that, you will need to decide whether you want the videographer to be there all day (most couples do) to catch highlights from across the day. Remember, it may be possible to ask your videographer to provide further edits at a later date (for an additional cost) but they can't edit what they haven't shot. Highlight films are typically between 5 and 15 minutes in length, and would normally have a soundtrack. If your venue permits drones, these can create incredible atmospheric shots to give the finished film a really professional feel, however central London has strict drone laws, which are covered below. Almost all (97%) of Full Day packages covering London on wedissimo include a highlight film, with over half (54%) including a full-length film, often as an extra.
You should also consider sound: do you want the ceremony recorded, including sound? That can involve complex mic setups, and some venues and churches will not permit it. If you want the speeches, do you want them in full as a separate edit? Again, you will need to consider having speakers wear a mic. You need to have a think and plan this all well in advance. Wedissimo provides a video call feature so you can have an introductory chat before booking your videographer, and several planning chats ahead of the big day. During peak season, it may take a while to get your finished video back. On wedissimo you can check the delivery time for each videography package. This is typically around 8 weeks, but it can vary between 2 and 20 weeks, so worth checking before you book.
London has some of the most restricted airspace in the UK, so although most videography packages on wedissimo offer drone footage, your options in central London are limited. Three permanent restricted zones cover much of the centre, around Hyde Park, the City and Westminster, and Canary Wharf, where drones of any size cannot fly without special permission arranged weeks in advance. The flight restriction zones around Heathrow and London City airports rule out large parts of west and east London, and all eight Royal Parks, including Greenwich Park, Regent's Park and St James's Park, prohibit drones under their own byelaws.
Away from these zones, towards outer London and into the Home Counties, drone filming is often possible, provided your videographer follows the aviation rules and your venue and the landowner give permission. Experienced wedding videographers know the rules well, so raise it with your videographer and your venue early to avoid disappointment (rules correct as at August 2026).
Yes, you usually need permission to film a wedding ceremony, and your videographer will expect you to arrange it. The people you want to seek permission from would normally include the celebrant (or the priest and the church if it is a religious ceremony), and the venue. Many churches have very strict rules on photography and videography, particularly during the service itself, but as our article about photography at Westminster Cathedral demonstrates, it's often fine provided you ask well in advance and stick to the church's guidance. You will want to discuss lighting, sound and positioning with the venue and the officiant to make sure everyone is aligned.
Almost all (97%) of full day packages covering London include a highlight film, and just over half (54%) include or offer a full-length film. Note that a full day package doesn't always include a full-length feature film; often this is an extra.
Couples typically book their wedding videographer about 5 months before the wedding. A third of couples book within 3 months of their big day, so late booking is normal for videography, and searching by your wedding date on wedissimo shows you who is genuinely available.
Most videographers commit to delivering the final film within 8 weeks, but this varies between 2 and 20 weeks depending on the package and the season, so it is worth checking the delivery time listed on each package before you book.
Yes, experienced videographers regularly coordinate with photographers on the day. Both the photographer and videographer are likely to want to capture the same moments. Professionals are well used to working together, but it is often helpful to introduce them ahead of the wedding so they can share any shot lists and coordinate better between themselves.
Film captures the day in an entirely different way from photographs. With photography you are likely to want to print a number of images from the day, display them around the house, or even give them as gifts to family. Video captures the day in motion, and in sound, in a way that still photography cannot: your vows, the speeches and the first dance as they actually happened. A lot of couples we speak to say that they watch their video far more after the wedding than they go through their wedding album.
