Not simply coverage.
A film that feels like you.

We begin with the people, places and details that give your relationship its character. From a private London morning to a destination weekend, each commission is shaped as a visual story—never forced into a standard wedding template.

Signature film

See the feeling in motion.

Voice, movement, atmosphere and the moments between moments. Film preserves what still images cannot: how the day sounded and how it moved.

This wedding film is hosted by YouTube.

The experiences

Film first. Always personal.

Choose the shape closest to your plans. Every proposal is then built around your locations, pace, people and creative ambition.

The Lumiere approach

Considered from first conversation to final frame.

A high-touch process gives the creative work freedom. We resolve the practical details early so that the filming itself can feel calm and present.

  1. 01

    Discover

    We learn how you met, what feels meaningful, what you are drawn to visually and how you want the experience to feel.

  2. 02

    Shape

    We develop the locations, pace, visual references, access, travel and supplier coordination into one coherent plan.

  3. 03

    Create

    On the day, we combine discreet observation with clear, natural direction. Nothing is performed simply for the camera.

  4. 04

    Finish

    Your film is edited through story, sound and colour, then delivered privately with any agreed trailers, vertical edits or photographs.

For planners, hotels & creative partners

Made in good company.

Exceptional celebrations are collaborative. We work closely with planners, venues, florists, designers and stylists so that access, timings and visual priorities are clear before filming begins.

Discuss a collaboration

What partners can expect

  • Discreet, professionally managed filming
  • Clear pre-production and venue coordination
  • Respect for guest experience and supplier timings
  • Accurate supplier credits on published stories
  • Optional venue and social-media cutdowns

Commissions

A proposal built around the story.

Elopements, pre-weddings and intimate weddings vary in location, travel, filming time and final deliverables. After a short discovery conversation, we prepare a tailored film-first proposal with clear options and no unnecessary coverage.

Questions

Planning your Lumiere story.

Practical answers for couples planning an elopement, pre-wedding or intimate celebration in London or abroad.

What is a creative elopement film?

It is a film built around you rather than a conventional wedding timetable. Your day might include private vows, meaningful streets, a hotel, dinner, countryside, travel or an activity you love. We help turn those ingredients into a natural visual story.

Do you film pre-weddings in London and abroad?

Yes. We work in London, throughout the UK and internationally. We will consider travel time, light, access and local filming restrictions when recommending the route and schedule.

Will we be expected to act for the camera?

No. We give calm direction when it helps, but the objective is not to manufacture emotion. We create situations with visual potential, then allow your real dynamic to lead the film.

Can photography be added?

Yes. Film remains the lead service, while a concise photography companion can be added when the timeline allows both formats to be made properly. This is especially effective for pre-weddings and elopements.

Can you record our vows and the sound of the day?

Yes. Natural audio, private vows, speeches and ambient sound can give the finished film its emotional structure. We discuss what will be recorded and any privacy preferences during planning.

Do you provide drone footage?

Drone filming may be included where it adds to the story and where weather, venue approval and local regulations permit. It is never treated as guaranteed until the necessary checks are complete.

Do you work directly with planners and hotels?

Yes. We welcome early coordination with your planner, hotel or venue team. Clear access, timing and supplier communication help us protect the guest experience and create stronger work.

How far in advance should we enquire?

For fixed wedding dates and destination work, earlier is better. Weekday elopements and pre-weddings can sometimes be arranged with a shorter lead time, depending on travel and permissions.
