"We loved having you.
You guys really did us proud and have been such a pleasure & joy to work with.
We appreciate you both -
you've both gone above and beyond for us and we couldn't be happier with all that you've done for us"
I am really proud to offer video packages along with my standard photography package. I work on my own capturing photos and film or as part of a team with my my husband James (@butterfilmweddings) to offer combined photography and videography packages.
We think that having a husband-and-wife team who can prepare together, shoot together and laugh together really makes a difference on the big day and shines through in our work.
James takes all of the elements of your day and bottles them into beautiful films that will make you laugh, cry and want to watch again and again.
The videography packages include James dedicated to filming for the entire day and editing your film. No two films are the same, but a typical documentary film will have a runtime of around 45-60 minutes, packed with all the fun and emotion from your day.
Everyone who chooses a videography package will get a short trailer very soon after the big day, and weather and venue permitting James will put the drone up to add stunning aerial perspectives to your film.
As an optional extra you can add a shorter ‘featurette’ to your package. Set to a single piece of carefully chosen music, this condenses some of the loveliest moments into 4-5 minutes of cinematic, action-packed joy.

"We absolutely love our feature film, we were both crying like nobody’s business. It’s beautiful! You’ve cut it so beautifully, and the way you’ve integrated the sound is unreal! You’re a very talented filmmaker"
Documentary Films:
"Heather & James captured our day so beautifully, we are so grateful! From our first video chat, to the chilled pre shoot and then on our amazing wedding day, they have both been incredible to work with. They were really attentive in making sure they knew what we wanted ahead of the day and we didn’t have to worry at all. They blended seamlessly in and we had so many guests tell us they didn’t even notice them capturing all the candid moments! Their communication throughout has been 5* and we are so pleased with our gallery and videos. We’ve been so excited to show our family and friends! They worked out some great angles, lighting and encouraged us to be ourselves, rather than anything too staged. We would highly recommend anyone to work with the perfect pair for their wedding!!
Thank you again x"

Yorkshire Wedding Photos and Films
I am so excited to be able to offer combined and (literally) in-house photography and videography packages, courtesy of my husband James. For couples who are interested in a wedding film as well as photography, this means one booking for you and effortless coordination for us, from pre-wedding planning to editing everything for you afterwards. We are also fully qualified and licensed to use drones, so if you want that extra airborne perspective we can do that too, venue and weather permitting!
James’ approach to videography matches mine to photography. Don’t expect distracting set pieces or intrusive filming, but do expect us to capture all the lovely details of your day in glorious cinematic detail. We are less drawn to cheese-heavy edits and tend towards a light-hearted and colour-rich retelling of all the special moments that make your wedding yours. That said, every wedding is wonderfully different and our wedding films are the same; there is no one-size-fits-all. But at every wedding we’ll be looking for the humour, the happiness and the love, and trying our absolute best to bottle it for you.
Wedding Videography with Photography in Yorkshire
What to expect
First and foremost, don’t worry about equipment overload. James films with a DSLR just like mine, and to all intents and purposes he’ll seem like a second photographer. He sometimes needs to mount the camera on a gimbal for buttery smooth footage, but to you this will just look like a camera on a short pole. At times we’ll also set up additional cameras in fixed positions, but unless you’ve specified more, there will just be myself and James moving around. Just as with photography, we may occasionally need to light a scene up a little, or manoeuvre ourselves into the best spot to film, but we’ll always tread lightly when we do.
One of the most important considerations is sound and it’s important that we get good audio from the ceremony and from the speeches. To do this we’ll use professional microphones, which we’ll put either on you or near to you. Don’t worry, these are small and unobtrusive little bits of kit, and we’ll only ask you to be as ‘mic-ed up’ as you feel comfortable with.
We’ve mentioned our drone - this is completely optional of course and we totally understand that buzzy flying machines aren’t every couple’s cup of tea. If we do fly, it won’t be up there all day long; we’ll be using it at key moments around the venue and surroundings but never for very long.
Lets have a chat!
You may not have even thought about a wedding film until you read this, or you may be here because you specifically want a combined package. James and I would love to chat with you about what we do and what you want, so if you think we might be right for you then fill out a contact form!
