Derryn Vranch Photo & Film

23/07/2026

One question that comes up quite a bit is...

"Should we book a videographer as well?" 🤔

There's no right or wrong answer, it just depends what's important to you.

If you'd love a video to look back on, but don't fancy having a photographer, videographer and content creator all around you all day, our Hybrid Photography & Highlight Film packages are well worth a look.

As a Somerset wedding photographer, Derryn photographs your wedding exactly as he always does, but throughout the day he'll also capture short video clips using the same camera. Those clips are edited together into a 3–5 minute highlight film, so you get your wedding photos and a video to relive the day.

The biggest difference? It's still just one person.

Most of our couples tell us they're not really comfortable in front of the camera and just want to get on with enjoying the day. That's exactly how Derryn works. No big production, no extra crew and no constantly being asked to do things twice. Just relaxed photography with a few natural video clips captured along the way.

We've just shared a wedding blog from Priston Mill nr Bath on our website, where the couple chose to add a highlight film to their photography package.

Have a read through the blog, watch the highlight film and see how our hybrid approach works, and whether it could be the right fit for your day.

If you're looking for a Somerset wedding photographer and are weighing up whether to book a photographer, videographer or content creator, and you'd prefer a relaxed approach with one person capturing it all, we'd love to have a chat.

Here are a few favourites from Katie & Daren’s wedding at Limpley Stoke Hotel yesterday.
It was a brilliant day from start to finish, with everything happening at the hotel, from bridal prep in the morning through to the first dance in the evening.

The weather played ball, the gardens gave us some great spots for photos, and there were plenty of laughs, happy tears and moments with family and friends throughout the day.

Thanks for having me along, Katie & Daren.
It was great to be part of it and capture the day for you both.

Betty & Kirill’s wedding was a real privilege to be part of.

Surrounded by their church community and loved ones, they were married at Emmanuel Church in Chippenham in a ceremony centred on their faith. It was a heartfelt service filled with prayer, worship, and the promises they made to one another.

Afterwards, everyone headed to Goss Croft Hall to continue the celebrations. The afternoon was relaxed, with great speeches, plenty of laughter, and lots of time to simply enjoy the day together.
Thanks so much for having me along to capture it all. It was a brilliant day from start to finish, and I hope these photos bring back all those memories for years to come.
Congratulations again, Betty & Kirill!

If there was ever a wedding that deserved a weather warning, this was it! Chloe & Jake couldn’t have asked for a better summer’s day at their beautiful lakeside venue… although it was so hot the cake had to be cut early before it made a run for it!

The dance floor barely had a chance to cool down either, with guests filling it from the afternoon right through to the end of the night. Somehow, Derryn managed to tempt Chloe & Jake away from the party for five minutes, and the cornfield next to the marquee rewarded them with some absolutely gorgeous golden-hour photos. Even their dog popped by for the family photos before wisely heading off somewhere a little cooler.

As if the day wasn’t epic enough already, it finished with an incredible fireworks display over the lake, before Nicky Blackmarket took over with a drum & bass set that kept everyone going. We're fairly confident the following morning involved a combination of sore feet, sunburn, and a few heroic attempts to cure some spectacular hangovers. What a day!
Congratulations again, Chloe & Jake!

What a scorcher of a day for Annemarie & Adrian’s wedding on Friday! ☀️

Wells Registry Office definitely lived up to the summer weather – it was so hot there were more fans in the room than at the England match! Thankfully, nobody let the heat take away from what was a beautiful ceremony.

After a confetti-filled exit, we escaped to the shade at the Castle for the family photos (a very welcome break from the sunshine!). We then wandered down to the moat for some relaxed couple portraits, making the most of every bit of shade we could find.

By then, everyone was more than ready for a cold drink, so the newlyweds were whisked away in their wedding car to The Litton, where guests were already enjoying a wonderfully relaxed reception under the outdoor canopy. It was everything you’d hope for from a classic English summer afternoon at the pub – sunshine, laughter, good company, and plenty of reasons to raise a glass.

Congratulations again, Annemarie & Adrian!

Rachel & Charles got married at the Watermill at Priston Mill on Saturday.
There was a bit of back and forth on whether the ceremony would be outside, with the weather sitting close, but it held off at just the right time. They got the outdoor ceremony, group photos and portraits in before the rain came in.

The Watermill is one of those venues that handles it well. Old stone, big windows and loads of character, so when everything moved inside it still felt like the day carried on properly, not like a backup plan.

Derryn leaned into that, using the building, the light and the space to keep things relaxed and natural rather than fighting the weather.
Speeches came from the best man, father of the bride and Rachel & Charles together, then straight into a packed dance floor that didn’t really let up.

Shout out to Chris and the Priston team for looking after everyone and keeping the whole day running smoothly.

Rosina & Ross got married in Bath on Friday and it was one of those days where everything just worked.

Derryn started the day at the Minerva Temple, set within the Royal Victoria Park. It’s a beautiful open-air stone temple with columns, surrounded by greenery, and it gives you that destination wedding feel without leaving the UK. Easily one of the best ceremony spots in Bath and one he’d love to photograph more.

Then it was over to Inglesbatch, Bath for the reception at Field Good. Proper field setup with a marquee, live music, drinks flowing and everyone just getting stuck in. The kind of evening that builds naturally and ends up better than anyone planned.

Ross had written a song for Rosina and played it on the day which caught a lot of people off guard in the best way. No big production, just a really personal moment.

Also worth mentioning the flowers because they were unreal. Bold, colourful and everywhere without feeling overdone.
Just a very good day, done properly.
