Service
Several days, many relatives, one crew that knows the running order
A mehndi on Thursday, a nikah on Saturday, a walima the week after. We film each event with the right crew for its size and edit them as one story or as separate films, whichever your family wants.
A large share of the weddings in east and west London run over several days and several hundred guests, and they are filmed differently from a church wedding for fifty. Banqueting halls in Southall, Ilford and Wembley have strong coloured lighting, long stages and a great deal happening at once. We shoot with two filmmakers on the main day as standard, cover the stage from both sides, and keep a camera on the family entrances, the rukhsati or vidaai, and the moments at the back of the room that the stage camera misses.
For the religious ceremony itself we work with the imam, pandit or granthi on where we can stand and whether audio can be recorded, and we respect any request not to film part of a ritual. For mehndi and sangeet nights the brief is energy: the dances, the dholki, the aunties. For a walima it is usually quieter and more formal, and we shoot it that way.
Pricing starts from one of the single-day packages for the main event, with each additional day added from £895 for one filmmaker, or more where the event needs two. We edit a highlights film for each event and, if you want, a longer film that runs across all of them. Urdu, Punjabi and Hindi speeches are subtitled on request.
FAQ
Questions about asian and multi-day wedding coverage
Can you film a four-day wedding?
Yes. Book a single-day package for the main event and add the other days from £895 each. We keep the same filmmakers throughout so the films match and your family recognises us by day two.
Do you work alongside the family’s own photographer?
Always. We share positions at the stage, agree who covers which entrance and stay out of each other’s shots. If the photographer wants a quick word the week before, we are glad to have it.
Can the nikah audio be recorded?
We ask the imam and the family. Where it is permitted we place a small recorder near the couple and the imam so the acceptance is clearly heard. Where it is not, we film respectfully from a distance.
