About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2021

Last update: July 2026

Hi, I'm Dean. Twenty years behind a camera — touring with bands like McFly and The Vamps, directing music videos for the Jimmy Fallon show, making documentaries that screened in cinemas. Six years ago I started filming weddings too, and discovered the same instincts apply. I'm currently making a documentary with Five alongside my wedding work. Whatever the subject, the approach is the same: disappear into the day, follow the music, and trust the moments to tell the story. I think of my wedding films as cinematic documentaries, not Hollywood productions. Four-time Hitched Best Wedding Filmmaker in Hertfordshire.

Do not book anyone else!

Wow. We were really lucky with all our wedding vendors, but Dean was another level. We got quotes from a few different videographers and whilst Dean wasn't the cheapest quote we had in, from what I had seen online I knew that he was the right fit for us and he proved us 10000% right. The end result blew our minds. He was so attentive leading up to the day, answering all our questions and making sure he understood the vibe we were going for, and then on the day we wouldn't have even known he was there!
I must have watched our videos 100 times at least.. we got not only an amazing highlight video, but a teaser, a shorter mini film, the ceremony, the speeched AND when I asked if he had any footage of just our first dance he uploaded it to our portal within 24 hours and didnt ask for a penny more. BOOK DEAN IMMEDIATELY.

Simply Incredible!

Dean was absolutely incredible from start to finish. He was relaxed, friendly, and so much fun to have around on the day, making everyone feel completely at ease. The teaser film is everything we could have dreamed of and more, it perfectly captures the atmosphere, emotions, and joy of the day. Watching it brings all those memories flooding back. If you’re considering booking Dean, do it, you won’t regret it!!

Excellent experience

Dean filmed our wedding at Danesfield House in May 2025 and working with him was an absolute joy from start to finish. Communication was spot on throughout – he kept us updated and was always really easy to deal with.

On the day itself, Dean was a pleasure to have around: very personable, relaxed and fun, but also professional and unobtrusive so everything felt very natural. It genuinely felt like having another friend there rather than a supplier, which made us both so much more comfortable in front of the camera.

The films he delivered – our highlight video, a short reel perfect for social media, plus the full ceremony and speeches – are all fantastic and we’re very happy with them. We’ve had so many positive comments from friends and family about how beautifully everything was captured.

Would absolutely recommend Dean for all your wedding videography needs. If you’re considering booking him, do it – you’ll be in very safe hands.

The BEST Videographer!

We are absolutely delighted with our wedding videos created by Dean- it’s everything we hoped for and more. Dean was excellent from start to finish: incredibly professional, discreet, and clearly a master of his craft. His cameras and equipment are on another level, and the quality of the footage is breathtaking.
We barely noticed him filming on the day (he’s earned the nickname “the ghost” in our household because of how brilliantly he moved around without us even realising!). He managed to capture the most beautiful, natural moments- he truly has an extraordinary eye and such creative vision.

He was also wonderfully flexible with all our requests during the editing process, and nothing was ever too much trouble.

We are delighted with the final videos. It’s stunning, heartfelt, and something we will treasure for the rest of our lives. We couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Amazing videographer and lovely person

From the moment Dean arrived, he made us feel comfortable and at ease, and we are so grateful for the care and creativity he brought to every moment! And for keeping us relaxed through the many nerves! His assistant, Aleena, was so lovely and kind throughout the whole day too!

We truly feel lucky to have had Dean document our day, helping preserve such special memories. The teaser alone is phenomenal!!

Worth every penny!

I did quite a lot of research looking for a wedding videographer, lots of them were really cheesy, but when I saw Deans work online, I knew instantly his work was quality and is a professional film maker. He was fantastic on the day, friendly, professional and seamless. The final film took a while to make it to us, but I promise you, it’s worth the wait and every penny, excellence doesn’t happen over night! We couldn’t be happier with the final result and highly recommend Dean!

Absolutely Amazing

PLEASE BOOK !! If you are debating booking I cannot recommend enough that you take the leap and book. Dean was worth every penny and more, from the start to finish he blended perfectly into our day. Watching our films back we wonder how he even managed to capture moments when we didn’t even notice he was there. Dean was so kind and patient and considerate the whole day. Dean has a way of placing your vows over the perfect clips of footage, it has brought everyone that has seen it to tears. We cannot thank Dean enough for the special memories he has given us that we will treasure forever ( we have watched them 1000 times). Don’t let anyone tell you that a photographer is enough, you will never regret being able to watch your big day back over and over again. Especially if you use Dean, thank you again Dean you really are the best ever.

A Master of Wedding Films!

We cannot thank Dean enough for our beautiful wedding video. Dean perfectly captured the essence of our day, and the love that we felt on our special day is clear to see and radiates in buckets. The quality is incredible - we've not seen anyone create wedding videos to the standard that Dean produces. Watching it back feels like stepping into our day, you can immerse yourself once again and feel all the emotions so clearly. It is something we will treasure forever and are so grateful to have to remember our Wedding Day by. Dean, Thank You. M&T

We hired Dean for our wedding video

We hired Dean as our wedding videographer as we loved the example videos he had on his website! Dean was amazing on the day, professional, put us both at ease and captured the vibe of the day. He really picked up on us as individuals and as a couple and this was reflected so beautifully in the way our video was captured and edited. Thankyou Dean !

Highly recommend

Really over the moon with the videos Dean done for us for our wedding. The highlights video was just unreal and I can't even tell you how many times I've watched it. The moments captured are just perfect and the way it was all put together with the music is perfect! Thanks Dean. We are so happy we found you!

Amazing videographer!

We booked Dean for videography for our wedding in September and we are both in LOVE with our videos. Dean was professional throughout and kept us up to date with emails. He responded quickly throughout. On the day of the wedding, Dean worked closely with our photographer to make the day run smoothly. The videos we received are above and beyond what we were expecting and we cannot wait to re live our day for years to come. Thank you Dean!

An absolute dream!

I really don't have enough positive things to say about Dean. He truly was an absolute dream to have a part of our day.

Full transparency here.... my partner wasn't fully on board with the need for a videographer however we both agreed it was the absolute best thing we spent money on and I am so glad we came across Dean.

I truly despise having my picture taken, or having a camera anywhere near me and I was terrified I wouldn't be happy with anything captured from the day but not only was Dean a breath of fresh air, and a friendly face to reassure me whenever needed.... he also captured SO much from the day without us even realizing he was doing so half the time.

Such a cool guy, made us feel so calm and at ease and we are so lucky to have had him on board for our day. Honestly couldn't rate him any more and we've only had our teaser video so far! Highly recommend.... you will not be disappointed.

Thank you a million times Dean!

Amazing attention to detail and just a lovely guy :)

Dean was absolutely incredible- our video is everything we could have hoped for and more. We got married on the hottest day ever but Dean smiled all the way through! The quality of the footage is incredible, and the way that the music blends into the voiceovers makes it feel like a cinematic piece. We both had tears in our eyes when we first watched our video. Dean's attention to detail on the day means that we have a video that captures even the smallest of details. Dean was the smiling face that kept us going throughout the day, making us laugh and navigating us throughout the various aspects of the day we had planned. He used innovative angles and mirrors to get shots that we didn't even realise he was filming. The candid footage of our guests enjoying our day is amazing. I would recommend Dean to any of my friends getting married, and wish him all the best.

Couldn’t recommend more - just amazing!!

Our wedding day wouldn’t have been the same without Dean. He was so kind, helpful and just all around good vibes. We had a really small guest list and having some elopement style content was really important to us so we spent a lot of time with just the two of us, Dean and our photographer and they were just so fantastic. Dean braved hours of rain, off-roading, and the wild Scottish highlands for us.

And the videos - just SO good. Our teaser video was brilliant, Dean did a phenomenal job at capturing all the emotions and beauty of our day. When we got our full videos back we were so happy, they are so beautiful and brought back all of the memories. Dean is extremely talented and what he created for us was just the perfect reflection of the types of people we are.
If you aren’t sure about having a videographer, if you can find it in your budget then book Dean - it was one of our best wedding decisions and you won’t regret it!!

Professional and personal service

We spent a long time looking for a videographer for our wedding, we finally found Dean. He was extremely professional and explained the whole process to us. We had an initial call to discuss what we wanted from a wedding video. He was amazing on the day, capturing all of the moments throughout and everything we’d asked for. The edits turned out brilliant and we both loved the final outcome!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
