Up Close Wedding Productions review
Researched for Drone photographers in Telford

Up Close Wedding Productions in short
Up Close Wedding Productions is a Telford wedding videography business filming since 2013, working from Crudgington with an enquiry form, two phone numbers and an email address. Packages run from a few hundred pounds to under two thousand, with extras such as raw footage and extra filming hours itemised. Few local filmmakers show prices that openly.
Drone shots feature in the delivered films rather than as a standalone service: one couple writes that the aerial shots added something extra to their video. The site explains its filming approach and film lengths with project work to browse. Contact is straightforward, with a promise to answer every email.
Customers across the single source we hold rate the business highly: the Google listing carries a headline rating of five out of five from fifty-eight reviews. That is the second-deepest review base among all twelve firms researched. Read the testimonials beside the Google record, remembering both cover wedding films rather than drone hire.
Our judgement leaves Up Close Wedding Productions a strong wedding-film choice held back by one gap: with no CAA operator registration stated, it sits outside our ranked table, which requires the registration behind drone work to be sourced. For a Telford wedding film with aerial shots in the edit, the customer record speaks well. A claimed listing with the paperwork added would change the picture.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Up Close suits you if you want a Telford wedding film with aerial shots cut into the edit, at prices you can see before enquiring [1] [3]. The gaps sit in paperwork: no CAA registration and no insurance details appear on the site. The customer record is strong, at 5.0 from 58 Google reviews [7].

We researched this provider but have not scored it, because it did not meet one of our eligibility requirements.
G3 · No CAA operator registration is stated on the website; drone shots appear only in a client testimonial [3], and the CAA public pages give no business-name search [6].

Questions about Up Close Wedding Productions
Is Up Close Wedding Productions any good?
On the evidence, yes for wedding films: it holds fifty-eight top-mark Google reviews and films with aerial shots cut into the edit. Packages are priced on the page with extras itemised. The gap is drone paperwork rather than craft. Thirteen years of filming back the review depth. A full recent wedding film is the thing to compare.
Is Up Close Wedding Productions registered with the CAA?
No CAA operator registration is stated on the business site, where drone shots appear only in a client testimonial. That means the registration cannot be sourced from the website or the public pages checked. This is why the business sits outside the ranked table. A claimed listing naming the registration would change the picture.
What does Up Close Wedding Productions charge?
Packages run from £350 to £1900 with extras such as raw footage and extra filming hours itemised on the homepage. That is the most open menu in the field. Raw footage with extra hours itemises on top. Wedding dates decide availability. The package quote should confirm hours, edit and extras before agreeing anything.
Where does Up Close Wedding Productions work?
The business is based in Crudgington, Telford, and films weddings across the town with the county around it. Crudgington keeps the base inside the borough. Venue briefs suit that local base. Marquee and outdoor weddings show off the aerial option best. Send your venue and date with the enquiry to confirm cover.
How do I get a quote from Up Close Wedding Productions?
Quotes run through the enquiry form, phone numbers or email on the business site, which promises a reply to every email. Send the venue, the date and the package that caught your eye. The priced packages give a starting point before you ask. A package quote naming hours and extras is the response to look for.
What do the reviews say about Up Close Wedding Productions?
The Google record shows fifty-eight reviews at the top mark, which is exceptional depth for a wedding supplier. Testimonials on the site describe aerial shots in the finished films. Read both sources in full rather than counting stars. Strong reviews with missing drone paperwork is the honest shape of it.
How does Up Close Wedding Productions compare with the others in the round?
It sits outside the ranked six over missing CAA paperwork rather than weak reviews. Against the ranked filming option it brings deeper reviews with published prices. Ironside Studios answers with stated certification for events. Price openness favours the wedding business. Its edge is priced wedding films; its gap is the unstated registration.
How is Up Close Wedding Productions ranked?
It is not ranked. The business was researched to the same depth but sits outside the table because no CAA operator registration is stated on its site. It can claim its listing and send the missing paperwork for reassessment in the next round. Its review reads best beside the ranked six.
