ALISBY WEDDING FILMS

Wedding Films, Digital & Super 8

Quietly observed wedding films for celebrations across the UK and abroad — shaped around the people, place and atmosphere rather than a formula.

THE APPROACH

The wedding comes first. The filming works around it.

Alisby films in a calm, observational way. The important parts are planned properly, the sound is taken seriously and the rest of the day is given room to happen.

There is no need to spend the drinks reception repeating the same walk for camera or turning genuine moments into a production schedule. A little direction can be useful; running the wedding is not.

The finished film is built from what was actually there — voices, reactions, movement, atmosphere and the odd bit nobody realised had been caught.

THE FILMS

Different formats. One way of working.

Digital wedding films

Discreet coverage, properly recorded voices and an edit built around the character of the day rather than a stock sequence of shots.

Genuine Super 8

Real motion-picture film — grain, softness, colour shifts and all. It can sit alongside digital coverage or become a shorter piece in its own right.

More when needed

Multi-day celebrations, additional filmmakers and destination travel can be added where the wedding genuinely calls for them.

Super 8 wedding film

GENUINE SUPER 8

Not a filter pretending to be film

Alisby shoots actual Super 8 motion-picture film. It behaves differently from digital: softer edges, visible grain, shifting colour and the occasional imperfection that makes each roll its own thing.

Used alongside digital footage, it gives parts of the wedding a completely different texture without sacrificing clear sound or the fuller story.

FROM FIRST CALL TO FINAL FILM

You deal directly with the filmmaker

No sales team hands you over once the booking is made. The same person who discusses the wedding with you is involved in planning, filming and shaping the finished work.

That keeps things straightforward and means the person behind the camera already understands what matters to you before the wedding starts.

Small footprint

Many weddings do not need a parade of crew and equipment.

Proper sound

Vows and speeches are treated as part of the story, not an afterthought.

Discretion when required

Additional privacy or NDA arrangements can be handled quietly when they are genuinely needed.

EXPERIENCE

Enough experience to know when not to interfere

Alisby has been filming professionally since 2009, across weddings, private events and destination work. The useful part of that experience is not a bigger kit list; it is knowing how to anticipate what is about to happen and where not to stand.

Since 2009

Years of professional filming across very different kinds of celebrations.

UK & destination

Coverage across London, the Home Counties, the wider UK and celebrations abroad.

Scaled to the day

A compact setup when that is enough; additional crew when it genuinely improves the coverage.

CLIENT REVIEWS

What Couples Say

The film matters, obviously. But so does having someone around on the day who fits in, keeps things relaxed and doesn’t make the wedding feel like a film shoot.

★★★★★

Richard + Susan, Richmond

We wanted somebody normal who wouldn’t spend the day ordering us around and making us walk through a field seventeen times. Mark understood the assignment. He was relaxed, very funny and completely unobtrusive — then produced a film that made us laugh, cry and immediately watch it again.

★★★★★

Ricky + Kira, Oxford

Mark was basically an extra wedding guest who happened to be carrying cameras. My dad loved him, the bridesmaids adopted him and by the evening we’d forgotten we were being filmed at all. Then the film arrived and somehow he’d caught everything. Absolutely brilliant.

★★★★★

Tom + Jenna, London

We barely noticed Mark filming most of the day, although we definitely noticed him at the bar afterwards. He fitted in brilliantly, got on with everyone and somehow captured all the bits we’d completely missed. The film feels like us — funny, slightly chaotic and much better behaved than we remember being.

CURRENT COLLECTIONS

Keep the numbers in one place

Wedding-film options, Super 8 combinations and the current investment are kept on one central page. That keeps the information accurate without scattering prices across every location page.

For larger, multi-day or destination celebrations, coverage can be shaped around what is actually happening.

Digital

Story-led wedding films with professional sound.

Super 8 + digital

Modern coverage with genuine analogue film woven through it.

Bespoke

For celebrations that do not fit neatly into a standard shape.

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS

Before you get in touch

Do you travel for weddings?
Yes. Alisby films weddings across the UK and abroad. Travel and any extra coverage are planned around the celebration.
Do you offer genuine Super 8?
Yes. Alisby shoots real Super 8 motion-picture film, either alongside digital coverage or as a shorter standalone piece.
Will we be directed all day?
No. The approach is primarily observational. A small amount of direction can be useful when appropriate, but the wedding is not turned into a film set.
Can you work alongside our photographer and planner?
Yes. Timings, access and any practical requirements can be coordinated beforehand so everybody can work without getting in each other’s way.
Where can we see current pricing?
The current collections and investment are kept on the wedding film collections page.
Can you cover multi-day celebrations?
Yes. Welcome dinners, the wedding day and additional events can be covered where the commission calls for it.
