Wedding films across Germany and all over Europe

A wedding film shows how it sounded: the trembling “I do”, the best man’s speech, your first dance. Lorenzo Conti and his team film weddings across Germany and all over Europe. We are based in the Sauerland (a region in western Germany) and work all over North Rhine-Westphalia. We particularly like to work with couples who live in Germany and marry abroad. You get a highlight film with the most beautiful moments and a trailer to share. How we arrive at a quote for your day is explained under Prices and packages.

What your film is made of

Highlight film

The highlight film is the heart of it. It shows the most beautiful moments of your day, from the preparations to the celebration. We discuss the mood with you beforehand, from romantic to modern. You have a say in the choice of music and can tell us your favourite songs before editing begins.

Trailer

The trailer (2–3 minutes) is the short version for family, friends and social media, made to be shared. It comes as a gift. We choose its music ourselves, there is no choice of music for the trailer.

Additional video footage

Speeches and games are rarely made for a highlight film, but they are valuable to all your guests. That is why they always come as separate files in their original form, as does the complete ceremony. Selected behind-the-scenes shots are available on request.

Equipment and how we work on the wedding day

We work discreetly and with professional equipment: two to three cameras for several angles during the ceremony, speeches and dancing, gimbals for smooth movement and our own sound recording, so the vows and speeches can be heard clearly. The film is exported in 4K and colour-graded.

Drone footage is possible if the location, the weather and the local rules allow it. Whether flying is permitted depends on the venue and is agreed with them beforehand.

As with the photos, we do not get in the way. For a full-day reportage there are three of us: a videographer, a photographer and a third person who supports both. We agree among ourselves who films and who photographs. That is the advantage when wedding photography and film come from one team.

How your wedding film is made

Getting to know each other and planning

We talk, ideally by video call, about your schedule for the day, your taste in music, your favourite moments and the mood you want. Together we find the style that suits you.

On the wedding day

We arrive early, coordinate with your witnesses and the venue, and film in a way that does not disturb the flow of the day.

Editing and post-production

Many hours of footage become your film: selecting scenes, cutting to the rhythm of the music, sound and colour. How long this takes depends on the effort involved.

Delivery

You receive your film in a password-protected online gallery to watch, share or download.

Frequently asked questions about the wedding film

How long will the film be?

The highlight film shows the most beautiful moments of your day, and the trailer is the short version for sharing. How detailed the film becomes is something we discuss with you. Speeches, games and the complete ceremony always come as separate files in their original form.

When will we have the film?

That depends on the effort involved. On request, you get a short preview after a few days.

How many cameras do you film with?

Two to three. That way we capture the ceremony, speeches and dancing from several angles.

Do you fly a drone?

If the location and weather allow it and flying is permitted there. We clarify this with the venue beforehand. If it is not possible, we go without drone shots.

What music will be in the film?

Music with the right licence. For the film you have a say in the choice of music and can tell us your favourite songs before editing begins. Which pieces can legally be used in a film, we clarify with you before editing. For the trailer there is no choice of music.

How do we receive the film?

In a password-protected online gallery, where you can watch, share or download it.

Can we book the film without photography?

Yes. Photo, film or both can each be booked separately, so you can book only the film. If you book film only, Lorenzo comes alone. How the quote comes about is explained under Prices and packages.

How much does a wedding film cost?

That depends on your day. Lorenzo talks to you first, clarifies your wishes and the effort involved, and then gives you the price in writing.
