Your big days,
just as you lived them.Eric Vidal, Wedding videographer near Toulouse, on the ground and by drone
Honest films, shot discreetly, for couples from all over the world getting married in France.
I create wedding films the way I tell a story. True stories, made of glances, silences and simple gestures. The kind that gain value with time.

A selection of projects I've been lucky enough to film. Some full films stay private, they belong to their clients. Several have kindly agreed to let me show theirs: let's talk.

Eric Vidal
My approach is discreet and deeply cinematic. I step back to let emotion, authenticity and what makes you unique shine through.
I work with a deliberately limited number of couples each year, to create intimate, sincere films, designed to be revisited, cherished and passed down.
I am also a licensed drone pilot, and I film sports events, companies and places. Based in France, fluent in English.

How I work
Before
We get to know each other.
- A call or a coffee, in English. You tell me about your plans, I tell you honestly what I can do.
- We plan it together. For a wedding: the moments that matter and the music you love. For a business or a town: your goals, the places and the people to film.
During
I blend into the background.
- I stay in the background and film what really happens, without asking anyone to replay anything: a wedding day, a workshop, a sports event or a village fair.
- On the ground and, when the place and the regulations allow it, from the sky with the drone.
After
I take time over the edit.
- I sort the footage, set the music, look for the right rhythm.
- This is the key step: it is where all the footage finally comes to life, whether for a wedding, a business or a town.
Collections and pricing
Every project is different. The price depends on your date, your location and what you want to receive: tell me about it and I will send a clear quote.

They say it better than I do

Eric is this sweet, kind, adorable and warm human but do not get mistaken, he is the best videographer you could get for your wedding or your business. Jake and I got married in France, in the south west, we live in America but Eric was recommended to me by my photographers. Eric is funny, discreet, witty and talented, he knows how to make himself small and discreet at the church and at the chateau, but he was also loved by everyone. He responds super fast, super helpful with guidance and music choices, and super knowledgeable. My husband is in the film industry and his jaw was on the floor too, is that enough to say, take him as your videographer?

Merci Eric d’avoir capturé chaque moment magique de notre mariage ! Dès le premier contact, nous avons été conquis par son professionnalisme, sa bienveillance et son écoute. Le jour J, il a su se faire discret tout en capturant les instants les plus précieux avec une telle finesse. La vidéo finale est tout simplement époustouflante, pleine d’émotion, de spontanéité et de lumière. Il a su saisir l’âme de notre journée, des rires aux larmes, dans une perfection qui dépasse nos attentes. Nous avons regardé le film encore et encore avec des yeux émerveillés et nous savons que ces souvenirs resteront gravés à jamais. Si vous recherchez un vidéaste talentueux, passionné et incroyablement attentif, ne cherchez plus ! Nous le recommandons vivement, sans hésitation. Merci encore pour ce travail exceptionnel

Questions
How much does a wedding film cost?
Every project is different: hours of coverage, venues, travel, editing. The two wedding collections are described on this page, and I send a tailored quote after a first conversation.
Can I watch a full wedding film?
Not online: these films belong to the couples, and I never share them without their consent. During a first conversation, I can show you a full film from a couple who agreed to it.
Do you speak English?
Yes. Many of the couples I film come from abroad to get married in France, and everything can be done in English.
Where do you travel?
I film mostly around Toulouse and across South-West France, and travel anywhere in France and abroad.
When should I get in touch?
As soon as your date and venue are set. I only take a small number of weddings each year, because I want time to get to know you before the day.
What happens in the first conversation?
A call or a coffee, in English or French. You tell me about your project, we plan the day together, then I send you a clear proposal.
When do we receive the film?
For a wedding, delivery is through a private gallery within 2 months. For other services, the timing varies by project and is set out in the proposal.
