The Process

At First Dance Films, we specialise in cinematic films for events, brands, and weddings, capturing moments with sophistication and a timeless, personal touch. From intimate gatherings to multi-day celebrations, we adapt seamlessly to your plans with a calm, unobtrusive approach.

Our cinematography expertise informs every detail, from thoughtful framing and movement, to colour, composition, and pacing, ensuring each film reflects the quality and emotion of the day.

We work closely with clients, planners, and venues to make sure every element runs smoothly. By managing all aspects of video production in-house, we simplify communication and provide a single, trusted team throughout the process. Known for being organised, adaptable, and discreet, we prioritise clear timelines, efficiency, and precision.

Our process is simple:
We get to know you, plan around your timeline, work discreetly on the day, and deliver everything with care and clarity - quickly, and without compromise.

Just classic cinematic storytelling.
