What Your Wedding Day Coverage Includes
Coverage starts early, filming the venue and preparations to capture the excitement as it builds. The day is then documented in a natural, unobtrusive way, focusing on the genuine interactions between you and your loved ones. Key moments captured include:
- Both partners getting ready
- The full ceremony and exchanging of vows
- Heartfelt speeches and guests’ reactions
- The cake cutting and first dance
- A romantic couple’s shoot
Many couples love the quick turnaround of a teaser trailer, often delivered within 24–48 hours, so you can share the highlights with friends and family right away.
A Distinctive Cinematic Style That Tells Your Story
The finished films are elegant, emotive, and relaxed—capturing the true spirit of your day with style and heart. Josh doesn’t just record your wedding; he creates a cinematic film that reflects your personalities and the atmosphere of your celebration. If you’re interested in both photography and videography, combined packages are available to provide a seamless, cohesive record of your wedding.

Don't rush the day as it will go so quick! I will take you both off for 30 minutes to get Romantic shots, this is designed for you to take a break and look at your beautiful wedding day.

Photos of the couple dotted around a marquee showing off their lives and travels together.

From your first enquiry to me I will outline my services and offer a meet up or Zoom call to discuss your requirements and answer any questions you may have. After this a small deposit is required to secure your date. On the day I will arrive early and stay with you in to evening dancing. During the editing process I will deliver a 1 minute teaser 24/48hrs after the wedding and the final film at a layer date.

Too many things to choose but one thing that sticks is a couples first dance in smoke with a Sax playing to their song.

Wedding wise they are all me but if we are talking blockbuster film then any dark Knight sequel as the extra effects and quality of film is epic!
What is your favourite soundtrack to put to a wedding video?
I like to style my films and music to you as the couple, everyone has different tastes and personalities so I like to match the music.
Describe how you got into videography.
I started out filming properties for high end estate agents and chose to have my wedding filmed. I was instantly hooked with the wedding process and with my camera skills, I put the two together.
