A few things worth knowing before you choose a wedding film – written plainly, from the edges where I usually stand.
I’d rather you chose a wedding film with your eyes open. So this is where I write things down – what to look for, what a film actually costs, and what each region is like to marry in.
No hard sell. Just the honest version, from someone who films these days for a living.
