About Wedding Documentary Company

Wedding films for people who don’t like wedding videos. Funny, honest, story-led documentaries that capture the people, personality and moments that made your day yours.

Most wedding videos look beautiful. The problem is, a lot of them could belong to almost anyone.


The Wedding Documentary Company does something different.


We make wedding films built around people, personality and story — the conversations, laughter, speeches, characters and unexpected moments that actually made your wedding memorable.


I spent more than 30 years producing and directing television, where the job was never simply to make things look good. It was to find the story and make people want to keep watching. That’s the same approach I bring to weddings.


We film naturally and unobtrusively. There’s no endless posing, no pretending the camera isn’t there while you walk slowly through a field, and no attempt to make your wedding look like somebody else’s.


The result is a proper documentary of your day: warm, funny, emotional and completely personal to you.


If you want a conventional cinematic wedding film, there are lots of brilliant people who do that. If you want something you’ll genuinely enjoy watching for years, have a look at our films.

Wedding Documentary Company Details

  • Wedding films for people who don’t like wedding videos, funny, honest and genuinely entertaining, without the usual cinematic clichés. LOTS of our happy customers weren't going to have a video at all until they saw ours.
  • We make proper wedding documentaries: the people, conversations, stories and little moments that made your day completely yours.
  • Your film is built around personality and story, not slow-motion walking, endless drone shots and a soundtrack doing all the emotional work
  • Filmed naturally and unobtrusively, so you can enjoy your wedding rather than spend the day performing for the camera
  • Made by a TV producer/director with 30+ years’ experience telling real stories, bringing documentary instincts to weddings.
  • The result is a film that feels like you: warm, funny and personal, and something you’ll actually want to watch again in years to come.

Meet the Key Person

Alan Howard

I’m Alan, the filmmaker behind The Wedding Documentary Company. I spent more than 30 years producing and directing television before deciding that wedding films could be much more interesting than the traditional formula. I don’t want to turn your wedding into a glossy advert. I want to capture the people you love, the things they say, the laughter, the stories and all the little moments you didn’t even know were happening. I film very unobtrusively and then use the same storytelling instincts I’ve used throughout my television career to turn it into a proper documentary about your day. If you want slow-motion walks through fields, I’m probably not your man. If you want something funny, warm, personal and unmistakably yours, we should probably talk.
