DSLS Films

One of my most memorable weddings took place at a beautiful private property in Cheshire. The day was filled with heartfelt speeches, genuine emotion, and an understated sense of elegance. What made it truly special was the couple’s incredible connection. The way they moved through the day together with such warmth and ease. After being together for over twenty years before tying the knot, there was a depth of love and history between them that made every moment feel especially meaningful to capture.

My style of videography is best described as documentary or natural storytelling. I focus on capturing the real atmosphere and emotion of your wedding day, letting the events unfold organically rather than directing or staging moments. I pay close attention to the pacing, mood, and feel of the day so that your film truly reflects the experience as it happened. One of my key strengths is working unobtrusively, many couples have said they barely noticed I was there, even when they later realised I had captured all of the most meaningful moments. This approach allows me to film genuine, candid memories that feel authentic and timeless.

Yes, I provide full-length ceremony and speeches films alongside your main wedding film. These are edited very lightly to keep them clean, natural, and true to how the day actually felt. I use three cameras to capture the ceremony and speeches from multiple angles, and I also use several microphones so that every word and moment is clearly recorded. This ensures nothing important is missed, while still keeping the coverage feeling unobtrusive and authentic.

I offer two wedding film packages based primarily on coverage time. My 6-hour package is ideal for twilight or shorter weddings, while my up-to-12-hour package is designed for full-day celebrations. Both packages include the same level of service, including drone footage, professional colour grading, sound design, and four final films: a sneak peek, a highlight film, and full ceremony and speeches videos. The main difference is simply how long I am there to capture your day, which naturally shapes the length of your final films. Both packages are designed to give couples films they will genuinely love and look back on for years to come.

All packages include a pre-wedding consultation so we can plan your day together. Coverage includes drone footage where location and weather allow, and professional editing with colour grading, sound design, transitions, and carefully selected royalty-free music. You will receive four final films: a sneak peek, a highlight film, and full ceremony and speeches videos. I also remain flexible with timings on the day, and your films are delivered in 4K on a USB for you to keep.

I’m always happy to travel anywhere across the North West of the UK at no extra cost. For weddings outside of this area, I may ask for a contribution towards travel or accommodation depending on the location, but this would always be discussed with you in advance and clearly included in your quote before booking.

Your sneak peek will be delivered within 72 hours of your wedding so you can relive and share a few moments straight away. The remaining films are then completed and delivered within seven weeks of your wedding, giving me time to carefully craft your videos to ensure everything looks and sounds just right.

es, I am fully insured for wedding filming and I also carry backup equipment with me on every wedding. I work with multiple cameras, lenses, and audio equipment so that if anything were to go wrong technically, I can continue filming with very little disruption to your day.

I work closely and collaboratively with the photographers you choose for your wedding day. Over multiple weddings, I’ve built strong rapport with every photographer I’ve worked alongside, and I place real value on that creative partnership. We communicate discreetly behind the scenes, coordinate our movements, and support each other in capturing the most important moments from different perspectives. This teamwork helps ensure your day runs smoothly, feels relaxed, and results in both beautiful photographs and films that complement each other perfectly.

I usually use carefully selected royalty-free music that matches the style, tone, and emotion of your wedding and your final film. This allows your videos to be shared freely on social media without any restrictions. If you have particular songs or artists in mind, I can also choose royalty-free tracks with a similar feel so you still get the atmosphere you want while keeping that sharing freedom. If you would prefer a specific, commercially released song, I can use this too, but please be aware that it may limit where and how you are able to share your films online.
