ClaraStory Videography
This is us – Aneta and Daniel
Our adventure with wedding photography and videography has been going on for over a decade. During this time, we have had the pleasure of meeting many wonderful couples, creating for them a unique souvenir from this magical day, so that returning to these unforgettable moments years later brings tears of joy and emotion. We create our productions with passion, commitment, and dedication. We strive to capture captivating moments through the lens to pass them on to the couple.
On this day, we are not just a photographer and videographer; we are also your friends, your Wedding Planners, the ones who are closest to you and guiding you. We want this day to be recorded in your memory as beautifully as possible with our participation and help. See for yourself what we have managed to create over the years, because sometimes words are unnecessary to express emotions. You can judge our work yourselves, and we are eagerly waiting to create your LOVE STORY.

FAQ
Where are you based? Where do you work most often?
We are based near Warszawa, but we work seamlessly all across the country, most frequently in cities such as Warszawa, Łódź, Radom, Kielce, Lublin, etc. However, all formalities related to wedding videography or photography can be settled via email or video chat from the comfort of your home. We also value direct contact. Therefore, if the distance is not too great, we can meet with you in person to discuss the details of your wedding film and photography.
Do you offer a package that combines photographer and videographer services?
Yes, we offer an attractive package that combines wedding film and photography at a more favourable price. Additionally, we can offer an outdoor wedding session, thank-you videos for parents, an engagement shoot, and any pre-wedding clip based on your or our concept. As part of this package, you will receive a corresponding discount on these sessions. Simply ask us about our offer.
In the case of a long distance, should we provide accommodation for you?
It depends. In the case of individual services, we kindly ask for accommodation to be provided or reimbursed on the wedding day if the venue is located over 120 km from our head office. For sessions taking place on a day other than the wedding, depending on the location and distance, accommodation may be required – regardless of the chosen package.
Can we order an engagement photoshoot from you?
Yes. An engagement session is a great way to capture your love in a special way right before the wedding. We can shoot it in a location of your choice – outdoors, in the city – everything depends on your vision, and we can offer suggestions. Photos from such a session can be used for your wedding invitations, reception decorations, or as a form of thank-you gifts for your parents.
What is a mini session on the wedding day? Is it worth doing?
A mini session on the wedding day is a short (around 20 minutes) moment just for you, where we can capture the emotions accompanying you on this special day, right after the ceremony or during the reception. It is a fantastic way to also have a unique keepsake with selected guests, if you wish. It is also a lovely way to get shots of just the two of you if you do not plan a separate session on another day after the wedding. However, there might not always be time or the opportunity to hold such a session. Many factors can influence this, e.g., weather, unfavourable conditions, a late ceremony time, or the season, as it gets dark earlier in autumn and winter. If conditions allow, however, we will certainly encourage you to make the best use of this time.
Can we count on a post-wedding photoshoot?
A post-wedding photoshoot is a perfect moment to create an unforgettable keepsake in peace, without stress or time pressure. We can hold it outdoors, in a charming town, by the sea, in the mountains – wherever you dream of. We are happy to advise on location choices, but we are also open to any inspirations you have.
Can we send you our inspirations, and will you take them into account during our collaboration?
Absolutely, we would love to see them. This allows us to better understand your vision. However, you must keep in mind that we will not always be able to recreate them fully. We have developed our own style over many years, which relies on our experience and way of working. Often, inspirations are created in completely different conditions, influenced by other people, surroundings, light, weather, or other factors.
Do you have a permit to photograph and film church ceremonies?
Yes, we hold the appropriate accreditation to photograph and film church ceremonies. We have completed a special liturgical course for photographers and videographers. Thanks to this, we not only meet formal requirements, but also know how to conduct ourselves in church so as not to disturb the service.
How do you dress for our celebration?
When working at a wedding, we always strive to look elegant and professional. We dress appropriately for the event in subdued colours to blend into the background and not draw unnecessary attention. We aim to make our presence felt as little as possible.
How many hours does the coverage last? What is the cost of additional time?
We are with you from an agreed time during preparations until the main highlights of the wedding reception wrap up. Standard coverage lasts up to the end of the traditional oczepiny games, but no later than 1:00 am. However, if you would like us to stay longer, additional hours can be purchased. The cost of each additional hour is outlined in our current offer. It is best to decide on extending earlier so we can plan our work accordingly.
When do we agree on arrival times, the preliminary itinerary for the day, and what does the coverage look like?
We arrange our arrival times on the wedding day a few days before the celebration during a phone call. That is also when we fine-tune the schedule, day plan, and any possible changes so that nothing slips past us or takes us by surprise.
Do you take photos and film guests at the tables during the reception?
Yes, although we mostly try to capture spontaneous moments, as those result in the best shots. However, we primarily focus on the fun on the dance floor.
Can we suggest who to pay special attention to during filming and photography?
We usually try to capture all guests, but if you let us know in advance that certain people are particularly important to you, we will certainly place greater emphasis on shots with them. During the reception, we also set aside a specific moment for joint, posed photos.
Do you have backup equipment in case of breakdown?
We always strive to be prepared for any eventuality, as this is a top priority for us. During our work, we use two cameras, three video cameras, and spare lenses and microphones, which means that even in the event of a device failure, we immediately switch to backup gear. Additionally, our cameras record photos and video simultaneously to two memory cards, protecting the footage in case a card gets damaged. We also create backups to eliminate the risk of file loss after the job is done.
What happens if you are unable to carry out the assignment on our wedding day?
Life can sometimes play tricks on us. It has never happened to us before, but in unforeseen circumstances, we will ensure a worthy replacement, as we collaborate with many photographers and videographers.
Does signing the contract require a meeting, or can it be done online?
For your convenience, we offer the option of signing the contract both online and in person. If you prefer the electronic format, we can send you the contract by email for signature and finalize all formalities without needing to meet. However, meeting up, chatting in person, and getting to know each other is always welcome.
Can we review the contract in advance?
Yes. You can review the terms of cooperation before making a final decision. We can send you a template contract by email so you can carefully read through all the provisions and clarify any doubts.
Will the price remain fixed after signing the contract?
Yes, the price will remain unchanged after signing the contract. The only exception is if you decide to purchase additional services, such as a post-wedding session. In that case, we will only add the cost of that service at the current rates on the date of your decision. If for any reason you wish to reschedule to another year, the price may change.
Can we add extra options after signing the contract?
Yes, it is possible to purchase extra options after signing the contract. Things often pop up unexpectedly and you don't always have to be aware of them on the signing day, so simply arrange it with us in advance. However, the prices of additional services may change over time.
What if we have to cancel your services? How does contract termination work?
We understand that unexpected situations can happen in life, which is why contract termination is possible. If for any reason you must cancel, it is best to inform us as soon as possible. In accordance with the contract, the deposit is non-refundable because we reserve a specific date for you and turn down other couples. In some cases, however, there is an option to transfer the deposit to another service or date – depending on the situation and our availability. If in doubt, we can always talk and find the best solution together.
How long do you archive our materials?
We store finished photos and film coverage on our hard drives for a maximum of 6 months from the date of delivery. After this time, the files may be deleted, which is why we recommend making your own backups – on an external hard drive, computer, or cloud storage. If your package includes an online gallery, it will be available for 6 months from the date of publishing. After that, it may be removed, so it is worthwhile downloading the photos to your own device.
When will we receive the finished wedding video and photos?
We usually send your wedding materials within 90 working days. We strive to have the material ready as quickly as possible, but we cannot fully guarantee an earlier date; various situations and events beyond our control may prevent us from working. Hence the clause in the contract specifying 90 working days. Please keep this in mind, as it is quite an important point.
Can we receive raw footage or unedited photos?
Unfortunately, we do not provide raw materials. You receive a finished, polished wedding film and carefully edited photographs. These materials are final products that represent our artistic work, reflecting our style and quality.
Is it possible to receive an invoice?
Yes, of course! Upon request, we can issue an invoice. You just need to let us know in advance.
Is an outdoor shoot possible on a day other than our wedding day?
Yes, of course, and we highly recommend such a session! During a separate shoot, you can focus solely on it without any rush. The freedom to choose a location also makes a huge difference. Such a session is priced individually depending on the location and time required.
What influences the price of wedding coverage?
Our wedding film coverage consists of unique artistic works created with passion, commitment, deep emotion, and a professional eye. Therefore, the price of our services reflects our dedication – you are paying not only for the time spent, but also for the team, their experience, expertise, and sense of aesthetics.
What shapes the price of wedding video coverage?
• Top-class filmmaking equipment – we work with cameras featuring cinematic sensors, stabilisers, professional audio recorders, and many other tools that deliver a cinematic effect.
• A professional approach to every production – we ensure that the coverage is tailored to your story, evoking emotions and tears of joy every time you watch it.
• Quality of the final product – we deliver your coverage in high-definition video and audio.

• Professional data backup – we protect your memories by keeping secure backup copies.
• Drone footage – weather permitting, we enrich the film with spectacular aerial shots.
• Smooth and secure execution – we work discreetly yet professionally to capture what matters most.
The price of wedding film coverage reflects not only the technical aspects of production, but also the passion and commitment we pour into every frame.
What does a full wedding coverage produced by you look like?
On our website, you will find several examples of our work that showcase how we operate.
What length of wedding film can we expect?
We aim to create lifelong keepsakes that engage viewers and capture the atmosphere of your wedding. Under the contract, the film has a guaranteed length of 30 minutes. However, we usually have enough footage to produce a significantly longer video. It all depends on our individual arrangements.
Is the wedding highlight reel included in the total duration of the film?
No, the wedding highlight clip is not included in the duration of the main film. It is a separate piece of footage summarizing the most beautiful moments of your celebration and day. The full wedding film is a separate production containing more details, emotions, and more of you and your loved ones. A social media reel is also not included in this time.
Can we completely entrust you with the video coverage of our celebration?
You can fully entrust the coverage of your wedding day to us. We have years of experience and a well-established style.
Should we follow any specific guidance during filming?
During filming, we have a plan that allows us to capture key moments of the day while remaining as unobtrusive as possible, guiding you gently so you feel confident and avoid unnecessary stress.
Does the wedding package include a highlight video?
Yes, our package includes a wedding highlight clip summarizing the most important and emotional moments of your day. It is a fantastic format to watch with friends.
How is the party edited in your wedding film?
We aim to include dynamic cuts and short, emotion-packed shots so the film is engaging and enjoyable to watch.
Can we choose the music for our wedding film?
You are welcome to suggest your preferences, but ultimately we match the music to the shots so everything flows together cohesively.
Do we have a say in the final look of the wedding film?
After receiving the finished film, we can accommodate minor, cosmetic tweaks, but its ultimate artistic shape remains our creative responsibility.
Do you use additional lighting during filming?
We bring our own lighting gear. However, we determine on-site what will be necessary and whether it is needed at all. We always strive to preserve the most natural feel in our shots.
Can we receive the film on a USB drive?
Yes. As standard, we deliver finished materials on a flash drive presented in an elegant case. Additionally, all files are made available in the cloud so you can download them or share them with family and friends.
Is the cloud version of the film the same quality as the original? How long does downloading take?
The shared material is provided in full resolution, exactly as prepared. Download time depends on your internet connection; with high-speed internet, it takes just a few minutes.
