Wedding films in Chelmsford
From a short civil ceremony to a three-day celebration in Chelmsford, we bring two cameras, proper audio and a delivery date in writing.
Chelmsford comes up often in our diary. The Essex county town with large estate venues on all sides. Before any wedding here we check the ceremony room for where the light falls at your ceremony time, where the registrar or celebrant will stand, and where we can place a microphone without it being in every photograph.
We have filmed at or scouted venues like Hylands House, Pontlands Park, Channels Estate in Chelmsford. Older buildings tend to have beautiful light and difficult acoustics; modern ones the reverse. Either way the microphones go on the people speaking, not on the camera.
On the day we arrive around 90 minutes before the ceremony, say hello to the photographer and the coordinator, rig the ceremony cameras and microphones, and then stay out of the way. Footage is copied to two drives before we leave Chelmsford and to a third location that night.
For Chelmsford we add mileage at 45p a mile from Ilford, typically between £20 and £60 each way, and show it on the quote before you confirm. Country venues here usually sit in open airspace, so drone shots are more often possible than in London, subject to the venue’s permission.

FAQ
Questions about filming in Chelmsford
How far ahead should we book a videographer in Chelmsford?
Saturdays from May to September and most of December go nine to fifteen months ahead. Weekday and winter weddings are easier. If your date is close, ask anyway; we sometimes have gaps.
Is there a travel charge for Chelmsford?
Inside the M25 travel is included. For Chelmsford the quote shows any mileage at 45p a mile before you confirm, with nothing added later.
Can you fly a drone at our Chelmsford venue?
It depends on the venue’s position in the airspace and the landowner’s permission. We check both the week before and refund the drone add-on if a flight is not possible.
Do you work with our photographer?
Yes, and we would rather speak to them before the day than meet them in the aisle. We agree positions for the ceremony, confetti and first dance so neither of us is in the other’s shot.
