Wedding films in Hackney
From a short civil ceremony to a three-day celebration in Hackney, we bring two cameras, proper audio and a delivery date in writing.
We film weddings in Hackney through the year, and each venue has its own habits. Shoreditch, Dalston, Stoke Newington and Hackney Wick studios and halls. Knowing those in advance is the difference between a film that feels calm and one where the filmmaker is visibly catching up.
We have filmed at or scouted venues like Shoreditch Town Hall, Hackney Town Hall, Hackney Empire in Hackney. 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 Hackney and to a third location that night.
Travel to Hackney is included in every package. Drone flights across much of inner London are restricted by the airport flight restriction zones and the Royal Parks ban, so for central venues we plan the opening shots from the ground and tell you honestly if aerials are not possible.

FAQ
Questions about filming in Hackney
What if the ceremony room in Hackney is dark?
We shoot on full-frame cameras with fast lenses and do not add lights during a ceremony. Churches and older halls in Hackney are often dim, and the films still look like the room did, only cleaner.
When will we get the film?
Highlights within 6 to 8 weeks of the wedding, feature and documentary edits within 10 to 12 weeks, a teaser within 7 days if booked. The dates are in your confirmation.
Can you fly a drone at our Hackney 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.
