Creative Spark
At Elite Filming, we create handcrafted cinematic wedding films designed to feel timeless, personal and emotionally powerful.
Every wedding is unique. Our role is to capture the energy, emotion and authenticity of your day — from the quiet anticipation to the unfiltered laughter, from intimate glances to unforgettable celebrations.
We work with a limited number of couples each year to ensure every film receives the attention and care it deserves. This allows us to build a genuine connection with you, understand your story, and translate it into a film that feels truly yours.
Our cinematic filming and editing style sets us apart. Thoughtfully composed, beautifully paced and carefully crafted in post-production, each film is tailored to reflect your personality and the atmosphere of your wedding.
Whether you prefer an interactive style featuring heartfelt messages from loved ones, or a discreet, documentary approach that captures moments as they naturally unfold, we create films that are elegant, immersive and effortless to watch.
The result is more than a wedding video.
It is your story — preserved with intention, style and care — to be relived for years to come.

testimonials
We used Elite Fliming to capture both photo and video for my wedding. The team of 4 were very professional, timely and funny which enabled us to relax during the day. The work is outstanding and they will go the extra mile to ensure that finishing touches are perfect. We have just received our highlights video which is brilliant and Steve has been great throughout the editing. We would highly recommend Elite to capture your special moments. Thank you Elite for being a part of our big day!
Elite Filming are a professional and incredibly creative company. We used their service for our wedding reception and were extremely happy with the quality and framing of the resulting pictures, but also their guidance and hilarious manner when taking the shots! We couldn’t be happier! Thank you to Elite Filming for being amazing!
Elite Filming captured the memories of the day perfectly. The photographer and videographer were great to work with snapping away with creative shots all day. The team were my extended family for the day, I would highly recommend them for a wedding. The final shots are stunning and professionally presented, the team was is open to suggestions in making changes that were requested.
Very professional and hard working team who covered my Pre-wedding photoshoot, Pre-wedding party events, Civil wedding and Sikh religious wedding and reception in July 2016. Maz and Kaz were both honest and knowledgeable, and helped us make the right choices with the budget we had. We had events in both Leicester and London, but the teams were all very professional, on time, and it was all done seamlessly. Sometimes we didn’t even notice the team were there, which for us was great because we didn’t want it ‘too much in your face’. This said, they still captured everything so we can relive these moments again and again. The quality of work, in particular the photography, is of high quality. The videography has taken a while to be produced (still awaiting final copies in 4K blu-ray quality), however this is mainly down to the number of events being edited and produced. Steve, who has helped edit the videos, has been helpful and patient and from the initial drafts the editing looks fantastic – a proper feature production. Overall I highly recommend using Elite Filming for your special occasions. They captured every special moment, and were brilliant to work with. This helped us feel more relaxed on the days with their banter and being on ‘the same level’ as our thinking. Thank you guys for capturing our special days, we will cherish forever. Regards Ricky & Bitz

I had a photographer and videographer . My pics came very fast and I was extremely happy with the quality . I have just received my movie , I am happy with the editing etc . This did take longer due to the fact that I had to view my draft copy and make changes etc which were done to my request. I would reccomend using elite as I’m happy with the service considering they were based in a different town and most of our communication was via email
Whilst searching for the perfect photography and videography team for my wedding I came across Elite Filming on YouTube and absolutely loved the way they had captured details of various weddings. I contacted the team and was quite happy with the price they offered and went to meet with them for a consultation. I really liked being able to meet with them as I got to know the team better and they got to know me and what it is I was looking for.Fast forward to the wedding, the team were extremely professional, on time and were able to capture everything I specified in the itinerary. They didn’t even mind working a little after the time I had booked them for as my guests hadn’t stopped partying and I wanted everything captured on camera! On the wedding day they were helpful and professional in capturing everything that needed to be in the pictures and video. But also extremely friendly and made me feel comfortable with having all these pics taken. Once the wedding events were over they were In constant touch with me in regards to how my pictures and videos were coming along but were also happy for me to send them extremely lengthy emails on details of music and highlights of everything. I believe this is really important as they understood how important it was for me to have all the special moments captured and they fulfilled every specification I had in my emails. Kas was amazing in keeping in contact and even changing little things for me that I wasn’t satisfied with on the pics or videos. The team did an amazing job in capturing my wedding events and I would definitely recommend them to all my friends.
We used Elite Filming for our wedding when we got married in a small Cotswold village close to Oxford. The entire team were beyond the highest professional etiquette, had industry leading equipment & expertise and spared no expense or effort to ensure that the results were perfect. I was especially surprised by just how many aspects were captured from all angles & all nuances of the event… all this whilst being almost invisible to us & our guests. The results were seamless; as well as the quality of both the photos & video being excellent, the variety was both clear as well as complimentary to our best profiles :-). The editing was amazing and came with the most tasteful soundtrack to accompany it all, fantastic fading in & out of the audio so that key parts of the event were focused on but also that a summary of the event featured all the most memorable highlights we had. I’m not sure what else I could say to do justice to the brilliant job they did for us. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them to anyone, for any occasion and especially weddings.
Can’t thank these guys enough for doing an amazing job on our wedding. On the day the team are genuine and really know what they are doing. Making sure they were getting every detail big and small. It’s not easy dealing with all the aunties poses and uncles with there hand held cameras. But the team were patient, polite and pleasant. Once we seen the wedding video it was better than what we could have ever expected. The shots, music and cinematography. They really captured the atmosphere from the wedding and this can easily be seen in our video. Loved it
“Could not recommend enough – made my whole wedding special and personal. All the employees were professional and helpful. Not only did they work hard to get beautiful photos and video footage, they guided me and my husband throughout to ensure the pictures were flattering and very creative. Pictures and videos are amazing and I couldn’t thank them enough for capturing my wedding is such a beautiful way.”
“Elite filming covered our wedding last August. We had two photographers and two videographers. They were absolutely fantastic- from beginning to end! They really know their stuff and work really hard to deliver the final album and film. On the day itself they are a chilled influence on you, still making sure they get all the important shots and those in between. It took a while to get our film but it was completely worth the wait- I would rather they spent time making sure it’s right and what we want- which is exactly what they did. Could not be happier with their services- will be recommending to family and friends!!”
“Excellent service provided by elite filming at our wedding. Elite filming were professional from the onset of getting in touch with them and telling them what we wanted and the videographer worked hard on the wedding day to capture all the important moments of the day. They liaised with us to make sure we were happy with the highlights and the full movie and allowed us to make changes until we were satisfied with the final outcome. Thank you elite filming.”
“Was a pleasure having these guys part of our special few days. Their photos and videography were truly unique, and most importantly they were friendly, easy to get on with, and created some fun moments for us. Our family & friends have been very impressed with their work and I’m sure they will have gained some more customers going forward. We had a very helpful staff member during the editing process who did not hesitate in going out of his way to help us get what we wanted. Thanks again guys..”
“Amazing service from start to finish. My wife and I hired Elite for the entire week of our wedding and we couldn’t be happier. All their photographers and videographers have a really great eye for the visuals — these aren’t your usual bog standard vides — they have energy, dynamism and really make the video a magical experience. Great choice of music throughout, great editing and great service.”
“Elite provided the photography and filming package for my wedding in Oxfordshire. They were amazing from start to finish. Both photographers made me feel completely at ease on my wedding day – this was pretty important to me – I normally hate getting my photo taken but they were so lovely and encouraging. I cried when I received the finished photos and video – the quality was incredible and made me relive the most special moments of my wedding day in the best possible way. Maz even did an extra highlights video for me and worked with me on the draft before sending me the final version. I couldn’t recommend Elite enough – I searched through tonnes of wedding photographers and no-one came close to the level of quality they provide. They are also completely lovely and professional to work with. Elite – thank you so much xxxx”
“Used Elite Filming for my wedding days in Birmingham (Baraat) and Manchester (Walima). They were professional, prompt and very reasonably priced. Me and the Mrs are very happy with the pictures, video highlights and full video experience provided. Thanks Elite Filming for capturing great memories. Definitely recommend.”
“I booked Elite Filming for our wedding day. I am pleased to say I am extremely happy with the results. If you are looking for a team to capture your day without being too intrusive then Elite Filming is perfect. They captured the moments in a discreet manner. The shots are natural, and have a cinematic touch. On the day the team were professional, organised and friendly with family. Communication both before and after the wedding was fantastic and they were quick to respond to any queries. The level of skill and creativity is amazing. The film is high quality and edited to perfection. I am a very particular person and pay attention to small details. I have high expectations and entrusted Elite to achieve it to my standard. They executed this perfectly. If I had to pick a negative it would be the length of time it took for me to receive the film. The timescale is highlighted in the contract but as it was a one day event, i feel it shouldn’t have taken as long as it did. Overall I am happy with the service and would highly recommend Elite Filming. P.s Idris my brothers think your an “absolute legend” they loved your personality and humour!”
