About

Black Sheep Films is a wedding videography studio based in Brighton, East Sussex, offering cinematic documentary wedding films for couples across the UK and Europe.

Founded by filmmaker Mike in 2018, Black Sheep Films specialises in natural, unobtrusive wedding videography for couples who want their day captured authentically - not choreographed. Mike uses minimal equipment, blending into the background so that couples and their guests can simply enjoy the day. No large lights, no shoulder rigs, no endless posing - just genuine moments, crafted into a cinematic film.

Black Sheep Films is particularly well suited to relaxed, camera-shy couples who want a wedding film that feels like them. The approach is rooted in documentary-style filmmaking - capturing the emotion, the energy, the details couples spent months preparing, and the spontaneous moments they might have missed entirely.

Wedding films start from £2,000, with two straightforward packages and optional extras for additional coverage. Bespoke packages are available for intimate weddings, elopements, and multi-day events. Mike is based on the South Coast but travels UK-wide, with experience filming at venues across Sussex, Surrey, Kent, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, the Cotswolds and London - including Richmond Park.
