Elegant wedding films with a calm, story-led approach

Filming weddings across the UK, Spark & Story Films creates natural, emotion-filled wedding films for couples who want their day captured in a way that feels honest, beautiful and full of atmosphere. The focus is simple: to create a wedding film that feels like your day truly felt. Not staged, not overdone, and never intrusive — just thoughtful, polished coverage of the people, the emotion and the moments that matter most.

Relaxed, unobtrusive filming

I film in a way that allows you to enjoy your wedding without feeling like you are performing for the camera. My approach is calm, discreet and story-led, so you can stay present while I capture everything naturally as it unfolds.

From the big moments to the quieter in-between ones, the aim is always the same: to create a film that feels timeless, personal and full of life.

Wedding videography and content creation

Alongside cinematic wedding videography, I also offer wedding content creation packages for couples who want the best of both worlds.

This is ideal if you would love:

  • a beautifully edited wedding film to keep forever
  • natural behind-the-scenes clips from throughout the day
  • vertical content that is ready to relive and share quickly

Content creation works perfectly as an add-on to videography, or as a standalone service for couples who want fast-turnaround memories in a modern format.

A personal and seamless experience

I care just as much about the experience as the final film. From your first enquiry through to delivery, I keep things straightforward, relaxed and personal.

My wife is also a wedding photographer, and we offer joint photography and videography packages for couples who want a seamless and beautifully coordinated experience. Because we work together regularly, the day feels relaxed, well-paced and never over-covered.

For couples who want their day to feel like theirs

Whether you are planning a countryside celebration, a stylish manor house wedding or a relaxed outdoor day, I create films and content that feel polished, emotional and true to you.If you are looking for wedding videography that is modern, natural and easy from start to finish, I would love to hear more about your plans.

The best videographer at our wedding

From the very beginning, John made our wedding experience incredibly special. Even before the big day, the pre-shoot helped us feel relaxed and excited, and it was clear straight away that we were in great hands. Throughout the whole process he was brilliant - always cracking jokes, making us laugh, and really getting involved so that everything felt natural rather than staged. He created such a comfortable atmosphere that we were able to enjoy every moment without feeling awkward in front of the camera. Communication was fantastic from start to finish. He was always quick to respond, answered every question we had, and made sure we felt confident and prepared leading up to the wedding. What really stood out was the relationship he built with us. It never felt like he was “just the videographer” - he genuinely connected with us and also with our guests. Everyone commented on how friendly and approachable he was, which made the whole day feel even more relaxed and fun. One of the most memorable parts was that he even taught us a few ballroom dance moves for our first dance - and funnily enough, they’re moves we still use to this day! We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to capture our wedding. He didn’t just film the day - he helped make it even more memorable

Absolutely phenomenal – we couldn’t have asked for better!

From the moment we first met Sam, Jeremy, and John, we knew we were in great hands. They were warm, professional, and clearly experts at what they do. They helped us feel completely at ease from the start with a pre-shoot that made a huge difference — we were comfortable in front of the camera straight away. On the wedding day, they went above and beyond. They weren’t just taking photos and videos — they were helping with the timings of speeches, making sure my partner’s dress was always looking perfect, and keeping our guests (including the little ones!) feeling relaxed and happy. They took on board all of our ideas and also suggested brilliant shots we wouldn’t have thought of, which made for some stunning results. Sam and John (who are husband and wife) and Jeremy (Sam’s dad) were a dream team. They worked together seamlessly, and their use of a drone and smoke bombs to capture unique moments was incredible. The creativity, attention to detail, and sheer effort they put in was noticed not just by us but by all our guests — we had so many people come up and say how lovely and professional they were. We were blown away when we received a preview the very next day — the photos were absolutely amazing, and captured the magic and emotion of the day so beautifully. Their contribution to our wedding was massive. The three of them are truly brilliant at what they do, and we honestly couldn’t fault a single thing. If you’re booking a wedding, don’t think twice — get Sam, Jeremy, and John involved. You won’t regret it!

If we could give more stars we would!!!

We can’t quite put into words how amazing John was as our videographer. We knew from the get go we wanted our wedding to be captured so we knew we had to get the right guy to do it. When John from Spark and Story was recommended with Capture The Moment, we knew we had to have him as they all work amazingly together and we are so so glad we chose him. From the moment we met him on our engagement shoot we knew we picked the right guy. Him along with Sam and Jeremy (photographers) were the back bone of our day, bringing life, laughter and captured amazing content! They truly were a big part of our day and we couldn’t have done it without all of them. From bridal prep to the evening reception, their energy was high and amazing and we had so many comments about them from guests about how fab they were. If we could give more stars we would! Thank you for everything John, we cannot wait to see our wedding day and relive it! I would encourage anyone who is thinking about booking Spark and Story Films to book now!! Best decision ever. Other than marrying each other of course 😂 Mr and Mrs Southall. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Calming, comedic, creative

Calming, comedic, creative - John was the complete package and the videographer you need! We met John at a Love Actually wedding fayre and instantly knew we wanted him to video our big day. He was so enthusiastic talking about what he does and his footage looked incredible. We had many conversations with John in the lead up to our wedding. It was easy to contact him and always a quick response. We felt like he knew exactly the sort of feel we wanted for our day and the special moments we wanted.

Personable and professional

“Personable and professional, John is truly a gem of a human being and a fantastic videographer to boot. He has a calming demeanour and carries out his work in a relaxed, humorous manner, which really helps to settle any big day nerves! We were determined to have a wedding video that was entirely natural and captured us, as well as our guests, just enjoying the day. We can quite safely say that John absolutely nailed the brief.

John made the most perfect film

John made the most perfect film of our wedding it really captured the day and we will cherish it forever. Not only did he make a perfect film but he put us both at ease. I was so nervous about the day and about being filmed but John made me feel so comfortable and I instantly felt like I’d known him forever (as did my now husband). I can’t recommend John highly enough.

We first met John & Sam back in 2019

We first met John & Sam back in 2019 and instantly knew they were the best option for us. They are such down to earth, easy going people who were perfect for the style of photos/video we were looking for. Unfortunately due to covid, our plans changed multiple times but nothing was too much trouble for John and Sam who were so accommodating and helpful. Cannot recommend them enough. Thank you both xx
