The Process

At First Dance Films, we specialise in cinematic wedding films and refined photography, crafted to feel personal, timeless, and true to the day. Whether it’s a quiet elopement or a multi-day celebration abroad, we adapt to fit your plans with a calm, unobtrusive approach.

Our background in cinematography shapes everything we do, from considered framing and movement, to colour and pacing. We also offer industry leading photography, either as a standalone or seamless part of your film package.

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.

Partnerships

We collaborate closely with planners, production teams, and venues to ensure every part of the day runs smoothly. With both photo and video handled in-house, we streamline communication and reduce moving parts, giving you one trusted team across everything. We're known for being calm, organised, and highly adaptable, with a focus on clear timelines, quick responses, and professional execution from first call to final delivery.

FAQ’S

  • The consultation is a key part of our process. It’s a focused, friendly conversation where we’ll walk through your plans, timeline, and what you’re looking for in both film and photography. We’ll identify any logistical needs, talk through coverage options, and make sure everything is aligned, creatively and practically. It’s also your chance to ask anything on your mind. Our goal is to give you confidence that nothing will be missed.

  • Start by heading to our bookings page and filling out the enquiry form. Once we’ve had our consultation call and confirmed we’re the right fit, we’ll send over a proposal along with a 50% deposit invoice to secure your date. From there, your booking is locked in, and we’ll guide you through the next steps with a clear plan and timeline.

  • Absolutely. We regularly travel across the UK and internationally for weddings and events, and are well-versed in the logistics of destination coverage. Travel and accommodation fees may apply depending on the location, but all associated costs will be clearly outlined and agreed upon before confirming your booking. Our goal is to ensure a seamless experience, wherever your celebration takes place.
