Why Choosing One Team for Photo + Video Makes Your Wedding Day Seamless

Planning a Wedding? Here’s Why You Should Book One Team for Photo and Video

Planning a wedding is a full-time job—and chances are, you already have one of those. Between sorting venues, dress fittings, table plans, and trying to explain why your mum's cousin's neighbour isn't invited, there’s a lot going on.

So when it comes to booking your photo and video team, here’s a tip from two people in the thick of planning a wedding ourselves:

Choose one team that does both.

Here’s why it will save you time, make your life easier, and ensure your memories are captured beautifully.

When it comes to dancing - there's a lot going on so having a team who stays out of each other's way is key

1. Less Admin, More You Time

Booking separate teams means double the emails, double the timelines, and double the contracts. Sure, you could manage that, but wouldn’t you rather be picking out your entrance music, browsing through shoes, or looking at wedding decor inspo?

With one team (like us 👋), it’s one booking and one conversation. You also get a shared style between your photos and videos. Most importantly, there’s no faffing about. We communicate constantly, so you don’t have to play middleman between your vendors. This means you get more time to plan the fun stuff!

2. Less Fuss, More Flow

Photo and video teams from separate businesses can sometimes clash—not in a blow-up argument way, but in a practical "get out of my shot" way. One team is setting up a shot while the other is blocking it. One wants golden hour portraits, while the other is trying to plan a group drone shot.

Chaos.

When we work as one team, we don’t compete for time or space. We plan together, shoot together, and know exactly who’s capturing what and when. This ensures your day flows smoothly, and your content looks seamless from start to finish.

3. One Style, One Story

Your wedding day is one big story, so why split it between two styles?

For example, our style is natural, cinematic, and relaxed. When you book photo and video from the same team, that style carries through everything. The editing, the tones, the vibe, your teaser film, and your photo album feel like chapters of the same story.

There’s no big difference between “the video team did this” and “the photo team did that.” It’s one team, one approach, and one beautiful story—your story—told seamlessly so you can keep it forever.

4. More Genuine Moments

We'll be the first to say it: being in front of a camera can feel a bit weird.

We believe in staying out of your way. No “stand there and laugh on 3,” and no endless group photos while your dinner goes cold. Just discreet, candid coverage—the kind where you forget the cameras are even there.

When we shoot together, we’re in sync. This means we don’t need to repeat moments or over-direct. You just live your day, and we’ll quietly catch it all.

5. A Stress-Free Day Starts with a Solid Team

Booking one team means building one relationship. And when that team is made up of a couple who are also planning their own wedding (👋 that’s us again), you get people who get it. We chat, we laugh, and we get to know what matters to you.

Because we're one unit, we come prepped with a shared plan, a joint kit list, and a calm, candid style that keeps things relaxed. Just think of us as your mates who are documenting your wedding in the background.

6. The Value of a Unified Vision

When you choose a single team for both photo and video, you gain the advantage of a unified vision. This means every shot is intentional and contributes to the overall narrative of your day.

Imagine flipping through your photo album and watching your wedding video, both of which reflect the same aesthetic and emotional tone. This consistency enhances the storytelling aspect of your wedding, allowing you to relive those moments as if you were there all over again.

7. Seamless Coordination on the Big Day

On your wedding day, the last thing you want is for your photo and video teams to be at odds. With one team, you eliminate the risk of miscommunication.

We coordinate everything in advance, from the timeline to the specific moments we want to capture. This means less stress for you and a more enjoyable experience overall. You can focus on celebrating with your loved ones while we take care of the rest.

8. Capturing the Essence of Your Day

Every wedding is unique, and we understand that. Our goal is to capture the essence of your day in a way that feels authentic to you.

When you choose one team, we take the time to understand your vision, your style, and what’s most important to you. This allows us to tailor our approach, ensuring that every significant moment is documented in a way that resonates with you.

TL;DR? For Wedding Photo and Video: Book One Team. Stress Less. Get Better Results.

We know it’s tempting to shop around and “mix and match.” But trust us, when your day comes around, the last thing you want is clashing creatives or double the coordination. With a supplier who can do both, you'll get:

• Less admin

• Smoother coordination

• Shared style and storytelling

• A more relaxed, enjoyable day

• And better memories captured beautifully, without the faff.
