Hello!
Im Ed, the film maker behind Harris Cade Wedding Films. I live on the south coast of sunny (sometimes) Devon with my wife, two wonderfully perfect children and two large and mostly misbehaved dogs.
I craft wedding films that are shot with simplicity, and authentically pieced together. I don’t want your wedding film to be dark and moody, because weddings are essenially happy days with, occasionally, a few sad moments. I don’t want it to be cheesy and bop along to music, but equally nor do I want it to be slow, staged and look like a perfume ad. To me, wedding films are about balance, between the nerves and anticipation, the excitement and energy, the emotion, sadness and happiness, the little moments between people in love, and the energy of a packed dancefloor.
In an era where trends can influence and AI is creating endless false imagry, I embrace classic and simple filmmaking. Making it authentic, real and raw.
My focus on light, composition, and human interaction is not merely a stylistic choice but a deliberate commitment to creating films that endure the test of time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is your Style?
My films are often described as raw, authentic, elegant and beautiful. They are a true reflection of your day, classically filmed and carefully put together to tell your story. More than just a documentary. I am discrete in how I work, having learnt and refined my skills over nearly a decade. No bulky equipment, so no feeling awkward in front of the camera. I give only a little direction during your day so you never feel like you don’t know what to do.
How long do you stay on our day?
I don’t work to mimimum or maximum hours (within reason!), as this is too constrictive to creating a good film. I commit to capturing your day, however you might have planned it. I usually film from the morning preperations right through to seeing some great, and often hilarious, dance moves.
How long until we recieve our film?
I aim to deliver most of my films within 12 weeks of the big day. It’s a creative process putting them together, carefully selecting the right clips, choosing music that perfectly fits each part of the day and thoughtfully using the most prominant parts of your ceremony and speeches to weave it all together. This takes time and isn’t an exact science, so I cannot put an exact time scale on things.
“Good things come to those who wait…”
Do you use a drone?
Yes! I aim to capture aerial footage at each wedding. I am fully accredited and insured to do so. This is always subject to weather and permissons so isn’t guarenteed, but aerial shots often offer a unique and beautiful perspective on things. This is included for all my clients at no extra charge.
Are there any travel expenses?
For all UK weddings there are no extra expenses, it is ‘all inclusive’ if you will. For elopements and detination weddings I charge for travel at cost, please enquire for a quote.
How much does it cost?
If you think we might be a good fit, then please get in touch and I’d be delighted to send you a pricing guide.
“We've just watched the film and we're both thrilled with it thank you so much! The way the speeches have been woven around the day is just perfect and this is something we'll treasure forever. Having our parents on film is something really special to me, let alone all of our friends and family together, what a gift, thank you.”
