Hybrid wedding photography
Why have only one when you can have both?
Have you heard of "hybrid wedding coverage"? It's a fantastic option for couples who want both amazing photos and videos of their big day. When you book a hybrid wedding photographer, you get someone who can take both pictures and videos at the same time throughout your entire wedding.
These days, the way we share and remember special moments has changed a lot. Photos are still important, but videos have become a big part of saving memories. A wedding video is like a time machine that lets you hear and feel all the love and happiness of your big day anytime you want.
Videos are great for sharing your wedding with people who couldn't be there. It makes them feel like they were celebrating with you, even if they were far away. Years from now, a wedding video will help you relive those special moments better than photos can. You'll hear your vows, your dad’s voice when he did his speech, watch your first dance, and see all the little details that made your day perfect.
That's why having a wedding photographer who can take both photos and videos is such a great idea. It's about capturing all the special memories of your wedding day that you can keep forever and share with future generations.
If you want to make sure every moment of your wedding day is saved in a way you can treasure always, consider hiring a photographer who can do both photos and videos. You'll be so glad you did!
So, what is Hybrid Coverage and how it works?
A hybrid wedding photographer is someone who is really good at taking both photos and videos. They can switch between the two throughout your wedding day, from the time you start getting ready until the last dance of the night. This means you'll have one person capturing all the important moments, and everything will look consistent in your final photos and videos.
There are many reasons why hybrid wedding coverage is a great choice. First, it makes the booking process much easier. Instead of having to find and talk to separate photographers and videographers, you only need to deal with one person. This can save you time, stress, and maybe even some money.
Plus, a hybrid photographer knows your wedding schedule inside and out. They can capture all the key moments without getting in the way or disrupting the natural flow of your day. They know exactly when to switch between taking photos and videos, so you won't miss a single important detail.
When you choose hybrid coverage, you'll get a beautiful collection of both photos and videos that tell the full story of your wedding day delivered seamlesslyin one platform. You'll have a mix of candid shots, formal groups, couple shots, speeches, party all in still and videos, The highlight films will encapsulate all these key moments that you'll want to watch over and over again.
In short, if you want a convenient, stress-free, and creative way to remember your wedding day, hybrid coverage is definitely worth considering. By trusting a skilled hybrid photographer to capture your special moments, you can relax and enjoy your wedding, knowing that every moment will be preserved in amazing photos and videos.
What’s my hybrid style?
When I'm filming your wedding day, my goal is to be super sneaky in the best way possible. Most of the time, people won't even know I'm filming them, which means I can catch all the real laughs, happy tears, and big hugs without anyone feeling shy or weird.
Hybrid coverage makes your photos even better and is great for couples who want to catch those important moments on video without turning their day into a big show or having to deal with lots of different people and cameras around.
Using really good professional cameras (NOT PHONES!), I'll make a beautiful 3-5 minute highlight video for you, set to music and everything, while keeping things simple and not getting in the way - no excessive gear, tripods or bulky microphones. Just real, authentic moments caught while I'm already there taking your photos - I like to think of the videos as your photos coming to life! Is you wish, you can also choose to add full ceremony and full speeches videos.
I'll be with you from the time you start getting ready until the dance party at night, so I won't miss any of the important stuff. I just wnt you can relax and have fun, that’sw hy my aim is to allow you to fully enjoy your wedding day alongside your guests, rather than being away for extended periods solely for the purpose of photos and video. I love working with couples who are essentially looking for the day to be documented just as it happens.

Setting the expectations: Is there anything you can’t do?
Good question! While I can in general capture most of the key moments in video throughout the day, I always prioritise the photos. As much as I would like to capture everything in full, there are some things that aren’t possible - it’s always a compromise and I like to set the expectations.
A highlight film is a wonderful taster of your wedding day, a glimpse into the day's events in the form of movement - a lovely keepsake if videography wasn’t something you were planning to have on your day.
