Exclusive Wedding Films

Exclusive Wedding Films is a team of wedding filmmakers based in Ħamrun, a town close to Valletta. The team works on the idea that a wedding is a story, and that the best film is one that keeps the genuine emotion of the day: the smiles, the tears and the shared glances between the couple and their guests.

If you are a UK couple planning a wedding on the islands, this page explains what the team does, what to ask before you book and how to start a conversation through our video production directory.

The team and its approach

The people behind the camera are storytellers at heart as much as filmmakers. They aim to notice the small details, understand the nuances of each couple's story and turn them into a film that carries you back to the day. The approach is deliberately simple: tell the story honestly, edit it with care and make something you will want to watch many years from now.

That is a useful test when you compare filmmakers, and it is worth doing with at least two or three teams before you decide. Ask to see a full wedding film as well as a short highlight, because a highlight shows style while a full film shows how the team handles speeches, the ceremony and the long stretches of an ordinary wedding day.

Services to ask about

The website points to three particular strengths: capturing the ceremony itself, an optional black and white treatment, and pre-wedding shoots. Black and white can suit a timeless, classic wedding, and a pre-wedding shoot gives you and your partner a relaxed first session in front of the camera before the day itself. For couples travelling from the UK, an earlier shoot can also be a chance to meet the filmmakers in person, so ask whether that is possible when you plan your trip.

There is also a portfolio of past films and a page of packages, and packages can be tailored to each couple. Because the site does not print prices, treat the first conversation as the moment to ask what each package includes, how many people film on the day, how long editing takes and in what form you receive the finished film.

Practical questions to raise include how far ahead to book, whether the team works alone or with several people, and how the filming will fit around your photographer. The team's own frequently asked questions cover exactly these topics, so they are well worth raising when you get in touch.

Choosing a setting and a date

Many couples marrying abroad pick a venue first and a filmmaker second, so it helps to know how the setting affects the film. Old stone streets and baroque churches suit our guides to the capital, Valletta and Mdina, the silent city, while the island of Gozo offers quieter countryside and coastal views. For seaside ceremonies, browse the best beaches in Malta and Golden Bay.

Light and weather matter on camera. Our month-by-month Malta weather guide will help you choose a date, and flights to Malta from the UK are covered separately so you can plan guests' travel around the wedding.

How to start

Ħamrun is close to Valletta and easy to reach from most parts of the island, and the team takes enquiries through an online form. The contact form asks for your name, wedding date, ceremony venue, wedding time, reception venue, your photographer and how you heard about the team.

Having those details to hand will speed up a reply. If you are still deciding where to stay on the island, our guide to where to stay in Malta is a good starting point.

When you are ready, use the VisitMalta.co.uk enquiry form on this page and we will pass your message to Exclusive Wedding Films.
