HITCHED WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR 2024 & 2025

Proud winner of the Best Wedding Videographer Award for two consecutive years (2024 & 2025). The greatest compliment I receive is when couples say: “We hardly noticed you were there!”

Every wedding film includes stunning, fully licensed drone footage as standard. Based in Manchester, and ideally located near Cheshire, Cumbria, Liverpool, and Lancashire, I capture weddings across the UK and abroad.

The best! We could not have asked for more - Sarah & Joseph 23.06.25

​"Outstanding Service & Exceptional Quality! Base Aura films exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, the team was professional, creative, and detail-oriented. The photos and videos they captured were absolutely stunning — every moment was perfectly preserved with such artistry. The quality of the work was beyond what we could have hoped for, and they truly brought our vision to life. Communication was seamless, and they made the entire experience so enjoyable. If you're looking for top-tier photography and videography, look no further. Highly recommend and looking for the next excuse to use Phil’s company! 🙌".

The most wonderful day beautifully captured for us to enjoy forever - Katie & Aidan 27.06.25

​"Phil was amazing from start to finish. He kept in great communication with us, organising calls to discuss our needs for the day. He was brilliant at coordinating the livestream of our wedding service, attending our rehearsal to check shots and liaising with clergy. This meant our service was captured so family members who couldn't make it could enjoy it, which was so important to us. He was great throughout the day, capturing footage unobtrusively. The result is a wonderful video we will cherish forever, beautifully capturing all of our favourite memories. All the footage has been put together so well- we couldn't be happier".

A Huge Thank You to Phil at Base Aura Films - Tony & Amanda 14.06.25

"I genuinely can't thank Phil enough. The now Mrs was a little hesitant about booking a videographer at first, but after our video call with Phil to discuss the format of the day, he completely put her mind at ease. He answered all her questions with confidence and clarity, and from that moment, we knew we were in safe hands.

On the day itself, and right through until he left, I barely noticed Phil's presence. He was unobtrusive, professional, and calm throughout. And then... we saw the footage. Wow. Just wow. What he managed to capture is absolutely insane...emotional, cinematic, truly magical, pretty much everything captured in one!

Not only is Phil exceptionally talented at what he does, but his service and turnaround time were second to none. And beyond the technical brilliance, he's just an all-round lovely bloke and a genuine pleasure to deal with.

It goes without saying that we would recommend Phil in a heartbeat. You will not be disappointed, far from it! The now Mrs was completely blown away by the final video (which, I’d like to point out, I told her she would be - the only time I’ve been right, haha!)".

Phil is amazing!

We couldn't have been any happier with Phil! We had a call before we booked to go over some questions and we immediately knew we wanted to book him. He was very quick to respond to messages throughout the process and happy to accommodate our requests. He was also fantastic on the day. It really is true when people say you hardly notice he is there! Our video is absolutely perfect, we are so happy we are able to watch our special day back and see ourselves and all our family and friends smiling and laughing. We would highly recommend Base Aura to anyone!

Phil, you’re wonderful

We selected Base Aura to capture our wedding day after being let down by another videographer and it was the best thing to happen to us. Phil was fantastic from the minute we first made contact with him. We opted for Elevate package and whilst we have not seen our full video, the highlights video is amazing! Phil was a joy to work with. He directed us brilliantly on the day to ensure elements were captured. Phil has a friendly and calming presence that put us at ease all day. My favourite part of my wedding was leaving our guests for a little while and going off into our venue grounds with my new husband and Phil and our photographer to capture our content. Thank you, Phil. It was an absolute pleasure to have you with us on our wedding day 🫶🏻

The best!

Phil was absolutely amazing. From the first enquiry we sent until a good month after the wedding, Phil kept us in the loop and answered all our questions promptly.

We have now received our footage and it’s been on repeat ever since. A beautiful day wonderfully captured. We couldn’t have asked for a better videographer and would highly recommend Phil to anyone who is looked for someone to capture their big day!

Do It!!

Highly recommended

Working with Phil has been fantastic. He is so talented and professional whilst also very calming works in a very human and approachable way. Just his way on the day with myself, family and friends put us all at ease on the wedding day and I was absolutely blown away by the quality of our video along all the different elements of our wedding that he captured on the day. Phil was always prompt with contact andtje drone shots he captured of our venue and surroundings were absolutely stunning. I would highly highly recommend Phil. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Mr and Mrs Nester :)

Amazing every step of the way!

From the initial booking to our wedding day and beyond, Phil put us instantly at ease. He has an incredible talent at capturing every special moment so perfectly and we couldn’t have been in better hands for our wedding video! He had the best communication with us in the lead up, on the day, and after our wedding. We were so excited to receive the video, which arrived so quickly and it did not disappoint! Thank you so much Phil! We cannot recommend you highly enough and hope our paths cross again soon.

Best Videographer. Would book again and again

Philip was the first person i saw at the venue on my wedding morning, and he instantly put me at ease. An absolute gentleman who captured our day perfectly. Great communication before the wedding, and we received our amazing content really quickly after. Couldn't be happier that we found Philip for our wedding.

Amazing videographer

We honestly cannot thank Phil at Base Aura Films enough for the incredible job he did capturing our wedding day. From start to finish, he was absolutely amazing – so professional, yet so warm and easy to be around. He blended into the background perfectly, so much so that half the time we didn’t even realise he was there, yet he managed to capture every single special moment so beautifully.
Our wedding video is beyond anything we could have hoped for it’s stunning, and takes us right back to the magic of the day. Phil has such an incredible eye for detail and a true talent for storytelling through film.
Choosing Phil was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He gave us memories we can relive forever, and for that we’ll always be grateful. We cannot recommend him highly enough – if you’re looking for a videographer, Phil is the one. You will not be disappointed
