Professional videography services in Kenya
Video made for a real audience
The right video can explain your work, preserve an important occasion, extend the reach of an event or give a campaign a stronger human voice. Shammah Media provides professional videography services for organisations, event teams, couples, agencies and creators in Nairobi and across Kenya.
We plan around the result you need—not simply the number of hours a camera will be present. Tell us who the video is for, where it will appear, what viewers should understand or feel and when you need the finished work. We will use that information to recommend a production approach and prepare a written quotation.

Choose your videography service
Video production
Take a video from the first idea through planning, filming, editing and final delivery. This service suits projects that need one team to coordinate the complete production process and prepare the finished work for specific platforms.
Corporate videos
Show customers, partners, employees or investors what your organisation does and why it matters. Corporate video can support company profiles, brand stories, internal communication, training, project documentation and stakeholder updates.
Event video coverage
Record the defining moments, speakers, performances, audience response and atmosphere of your event. Choose edited highlights when you want a concise story, longer coverage when important programme sections need to be retained, or clearly defined versions for both uses.
Conference recording
Capture keynote speeches, panel discussions, presentations, interviews, exhibition activity and participant experience. We plan around your agenda, rooms, sound arrangements, presentation material and the way each recording will be published or archived.
Wedding videography
Relive the voices, movement and emotion of your wedding through a film built around your programme and priorities. Share the locations, timings, important people and cultural or family moments you want the coverage to preserve.
Documentary production
Develop a factual story around real people, places, work or social issues. Documentary projects can include research, contributor planning, interviews, observational filming and a structured edit for the intended audience.
Interview filming
Record clear, credible interviews for corporate communication, testimonials, documentaries, media, research or campaigns. We plan the setting, sound, contributor preparation, supporting footage and final edits around the message you need to communicate.
TV commercials
Produce an advertising film from a defined offer, audience and message. Tell us where the commercial will run and provide the broadcaster or media specification early so that duration, format, approvals and delivery can be planned correctly.
Social media marketing videos
Create video for the way people actually watch on social platforms. A planned campaign can include vertical, square or landscape versions, concise openings, captions and multiple edits from one production where the formats are identified before filming.
Podcast recording
Record audio and video podcast episodes with attention to the conversation, contributors, sound, camera coverage and branding. Your scope can include a full episode and selected shorter clips for promotion when requested in advance.
Drone videos
Use aerial movement to establish a destination, development, venue, property or outdoor event. Drone filming is planned only where it adds value and remains subject to location, airspace, weather, safety and required permissions.
Video editing
Turn existing footage into a clear finished story. Before quoting, we review the available files, ownership and permissions, required duration, brand assets, sound, graphics, captions, final formats and the condition of the source material.
What your video project can include
Every production is scoped around its intended result. Depending on your brief, the quotation may include:
Requirements such as actors, presenters, makeup, styling, sets, specialist animation, translation, paid locations, permits, travel, rush editing, raw footage or project files need to be raised before the quotation is finalised.
- concept and message development;
- script, interview questions, storyboard or shot planning;
- production scheduling and location coordination;
- filming for the agreed dates, locations and scenes;
- camera, lighting and sound work appropriate to the production;
- interviews, event coverage and supporting footage;
- editing, colour and sound finishing;
- titles, names, logos and agreed motion graphics;
- licensed or client-supplied music where included;
- captions, subtitles or voice-over where requested;
- main, short and platform-specific versions; and
- secure delivery of the agreed final files.
From enquiry to finished video
Tell us the purpose, audience, central message, intended channels, filming date, location and deadline. If you need more than one video, list the priority version and every additional format.
Once the scope is agreed, preparation can include a script, interview themes, shot list, filming schedule, contributor list, location access, brand references and approval route. The level of planning reflects the complexity of the production.
We record the agreed scenes, interviews or live moments while paying attention to sound, continuity and the footage needed to support the final edit. Your nominated coordinator helps with access, people and schedule decisions on site.
We shape the selected material into the agreed video and prepare it for review. Your project should have one person who consolidates comments and confirms factual, brand and spelling accuracy.
After agreed changes are completed, we export the versions named in your quotation. Shammah Media’s normal video turnaround is four to six weeks . The exact schedule depends on the deliverables and review timing; rush delivery must be agreed before production.
Plan once for every channel you need
One filming day can sometimes support several useful outputs, but only when they are considered before the cameras start. A website profile, television commercial, YouTube film, vertical reel and conference archive do not use the same framing, pace, duration or call to action.
List the platforms, orientations and approximate lengths in your enquiry. We can then plan the script, camera positions and supporting footage to serve those versions. If a format needs different scenes or a separate message, it will be identified rather than treated as a simple crop after filming.
Captions are also worth deciding early. They help when viewers watch without sound and support people who are deaf or hard of hearing. Tell us whether you need burned-in captions, separate caption files, subtitles in another language or a clean version without text.
Prepare people and locations for filming
Contributors and interviews
Tell each contributor the purpose, audience and likely length of the finished video. Share interview themes or approved talking points in advance, confirm how names and titles should appear and allow time for sound checks and another take when needed.
People usually sound more natural when they understand the message instead of memorising a long answer word for word. If the subject is sensitive, agree on the editorial boundaries and approval process before recording.
Business and production locations
Confirm permission to film, access hours, available space, noise, power, security, parking and any safety rules. Make the required people, rooms, products or equipment available at the time shown in the schedule.
For a workplace video, complete cleaning, branding and setup before the crew arrives. For several locations, allow realistic time for travel, security clearance and equipment movement.
Conferences and live events
Share the final programme, room plan, speaker list and venue sound contact. Mark moments that cannot be repeated and identify any restricted session. If edited highlights are the priority, also tell us which audience reactions, sponsor elements or participant experiences need to support the story.
Combine videography with other Shammah Media services
Add event photography when you also need a still-image record for reports, publicity, participants or print. Add livestreaming when remote viewers must watch the programme while it happens. Add drone photography or aerial video only when the location and permissions allow it.
Shammah Media can also coordinate printing services for event banners, brochures, branded materials, frames, canvases or other physical outputs connected with the project. Combined services are itemised so you can see the role and deliverables of each team.
What to send for an accurate quotation
If you are still developing the idea, send the objective and available facts. We can identify the production questions that need answers before the scope is confirmed.
- the type and purpose of the video;
- the intended audience and platforms;
- filming date, town, venue and available hours;
- the main message or story;
- contributors, speakers, scenes or programme moments;
- preferred duration and every required version;
- existing footage, script, logo, music or brand assets;
- captions, subtitles, graphics or voice-over needs;
- who will review and approve the work;
- the final delivery deadline;
- any privacy, access, safety or location restrictions; and
- whether photography, livestreaming, drone work or printing is also required.
Videography across Nairobi and Kenya
Shammah Media is based in Nairobi and can travel for suitable productions in other Kenyan cities, towns and destinations. Travel and accommodation may apply depending on the schedule, location, crew and equipment required.
International and expatriate clients can begin planning before arriving in Kenya. Share the local contact, location access, time zone and review process early, particularly when filming dates are fixed or several stakeholders will approve the video remotely.
FAQs
The price depends on planning, filming time, crew, locations, equipment, sound, editing, graphics, captions, number of versions, travel and deadline. Send the same complete brief when comparing quotations so that the scope—not only the headline price—is comparable.
