Wedding Films – Cinematic Wedding Videos by Peter Haken

Story‑led, natural films that let you relive the day — vows, laughter and all the little glances you might have missed.

We’re Oxfordshire & Cotswolds wedding videographers creating cinematic highlight films, videos, longer feature edits and full ceremony/speeches films with broadcast‑quality audio. Below you can watch recent weddings and see exactly what’s included.

Highlight Films

Short, shareable highlights films (anything from 2–7 minutes) that condense your whole day into an emotional, fast‑moving story. We blend cinematic visuals with natural sound — vows, readings, laughter and cheers — so the film feels like you, not just a montage. Pacing builds from relaxed prep to confetti and the dance floor; cuts are clean, storytelling is clear, and every track is fully licensed to suit your vibe and venue, from Oxford college chapels to rustic Cotswolds barns. Edited in 4K, colour‑graded for warm, natural skin tones and the Cotswolds’ soft limestone palette, and delivered ready to stream, download and share.

Feature edit (12–20 minutes)

Your feature edit is the complete story with room to breathe — typically 12–20 minutes, structured chronologically from prep to first dance. You’ll hear more of the vows and speeches, and we keep natural audio from the day to preserve the atmosphere. It’s the film you’ll sit down to watch every anniversary.

Good to know:

  • Delivered in 4K (and HD versions for easy sharing).
  • Licensed music chosen to suit your vibe — or we can match the tone of tracks you love.
  • Colour‑graded for natural skin tones and the warm, textured look of the Cotswolds.

Ceremony & Speeches films (full length)

Alongside your creative edits, we supply separate, full‑length films of the ceremony and speeches. These are multi‑camera edits with clean audio from professional microphones, so you can hear every word clearly. Perfect for sharing with family who couldn’t be there.

  • Ceremony film:
    Full processional to recessional, with natural audio and discreet camera angles.
  • Speeches film:
    Each speech cut with its own close‑up and a wide camera for reactions.

Audio & vows you’ll actually want to replay

Audio is half the experience. We use a mix of tiny lavalier mics, discrete recorders on lecterns, and direct feeds from venue/DJ mixers where available. This lets us blend vows, readings and toasts seamlessly into your films without intrusive gear.

  • Multiple backups to protect against drop‑outs.
  • Wind protection for outdoor ceremonies.
  • We always get permission from registrars/celebrants and work within venue rules.
  • Podcast Walk - Both the full ceremony and speeches edited and made into a podcast, so you can play back together sharing headphones on a romantic walk!

Drone & filming in the Cotswolds AONB

We’re experienced flying in and around the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Oxfordshire venues. Drone shots are weather and permission dependent, and we assess each location for safety, airspace and privacy. If flight isn’t possible on the day, we’ll prioritise strong ground‑based establishing shots so your film still feels epic.

Popular venues we know well: Hyde House, Cripps Barn, Stone Barn, The Tythe Barn (Launton), Blenheim Palace grounds, Oxford colleges. If you’re planning something off the beaten track, tell us — we love a recce.

Real venues, real timelines

Every venue has its sweet spots. We’ll help you build a relaxed timeline that protects time for natural portraits and golden hour without keeping you from your guests.
  • Hyde House (Stow‑on‑the‑Wold):
    The field path for sunset, The Grange for bright, airy vows.
  • Cripps Barn (Bibury):
    Woodland confetti run and candlelit interiors — we bring fast lenses.
  • Stone Barn (Near Aldsworth):
    The open meadow and the big stone wall for dramatic backdrops.
  • Oxford colleges:
    Quad cloisters, chapels and Bodleian/Radcliffe Camera for a city wander.

FAQs

How long are your wedding films?

Our highlight films are typically 5–7 minutes. Feature edits run 12–20 minutes depending on your day. Full ceremony and speeches are delivered separately at their real‑time lengths.

Can we choose the music?

We license music so your films are legal to share. Tell us artists or genres you love and we’ll select tracks that fit the story and pacing. We tend to use Musicbed for our music licensing.

Do you record clean audio of vows and speeches?

Yes. We use multiple recorders and microphones to capture vows, readings and each speech clearly, then mix them into your edits.

Do you fly a drone?

Where safe and permitted, yes. All drone use is weather/permission dependent and at the pilot’s discretion on the day.

How soon do we receive everything?

Teasers (if added) within 1–2 weeks, highlight and feature films typically 8–12 weeks in peak season. We’ll confirm current turnaround when you book.
