About this supplier

On Hitched.co.uk since 2025

Last update: October 2026

Hi, I'm Louis, a Surrey-based filmmaker making natural, documentary-led wedding films.

Every film I make is built around the couple. No two weddings are the same, so I adapt to your day, your people and how comfortable you feel in front of a camera. I don't stage moments or turn your day into a production. I move quietly, work hand in hand with your photographer and other suppliers, and capture things as they unfold: the nervous laughter, the tearful speeches, the moments between moments.

My kit lets me pick up the finer details from a distance, the glances, the hand squeezes, the reactions from across the room, without ever getting in the way. Then I shape the edit using years of storytelling experience from TV and film (including Bridgerton, The Witcher and The Rings of Power), so your film feels like your day did.

Couples tell me they forget I'm there, and that I help them relax even if they hate being filmed. I'm friendly, easygoing and always up for a laugh, because the best films come from people who feel at ease.

I also take time to learn what matters to you before the day, whether that's a grandparent, a small detail or your dog. One couple's much-loved dog Podrick was a huge part of their day, so I made sure he featured throughout.

Last year i experienced the joy of getting married, I know how fast the day goes. If you want a wedding film that feels warm, honest and genuinely yours, I'd love to hear about your plans.

Fantastic quality and attention to detail

From the initial consultation to the receiving of the film and beyond Lois was professional, personable and thoughtful. He included some moments that he’d picked up on to be special and was able to perfectly capture the feel and mood of our day. I can’t recommend him enough.

100% Recommend for your wedding!

My wife and I are so incredibly happy that we chose to have Louis be our videographer on our wedding day! From the moment we first sat down on a call to discuss his services and our vision, it was clear Louis was a very friendly, warm and knowledgeable person who made us feel at ease, and even more excited for what was to come.

Louis was a great professional both in the build up to the wedding and the day itself. He blended in so well into the background being able to pick up on video the little smiles, special moments and fun experiences everyone had, which my wife are I couldn't always see with the typical busy schedule!

He was brilliant working hand in hand with our other vendors, and it was just a genuine pleasure having him around smiling and laughing with us as he got on with his work. We were really happy with the final video we got, including speeches and dances. We've watched it many times over, and if you're wondering if it's worth getting a videographer, we would absolutely recommend Louis without hesitation.

We couldn’t recommend Louis more highly!

Louis is wonderful! Choosing your wedding suppliers is such a big decision, not only because of the memories they'll capture, but because they'll be such a big part of your day. With years of experience in media production, it was clear that he had a natural ability to capture moments beautifully. Having also got married himself last year, Louis understands just how special and important a wedding day is, and that really came across in the way he approached ours.

From the moment Louis arrived, he fitted in perfectly. He is warm, friendly and kind, and truly goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. He blended in so naturally and worked seamlessly alongside our photographer, which helped the whole day feel relaxed. Our dog, Pod, was a huge part of our wedding day, and it was clear from the start that Louis understood just how important that was to us. He made sure to capture plenty of moments with Pod too, which we couldn't be happier about!

If you're looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also a genuinely lovely person to spend your wedding day with, we couldn't recommend Louis more highly!!!

Above and Beyond❤️

From the moment we met Louis, we knew we were incredibly lucky to have him as our wedding videographer.

We honestly couldn’t be more grateful. We weren’t originally planning to have a wedding video as it just wasn’t in our budget, so when he offered to film couples for free while building his portfolio, it felt like such an amazing opportunity.

We were actually his very first wedding, which makes the experience even more special to us. He had gotten married at the same venue the year before and wanted to start capturing other couples’ big days there too. From the moment Louis arrived, he was kind, caring, and genuinely excited to be part of our wedding.

Throughout the day Louis went above and beyond to capture everything. He was chatty, friendly and blended in so naturally with everyone. He made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, could take a joke, and had a great laugh with us and our guests, which made the whole experience so relaxed and enjoyable. He also somehow managed to catch all of my good angles – which is a skill in itself!

We’re so incredibly grateful for the time, effort, and heart he put into filming our day. Having these memories captured means the world to us, especially when we never thought we’d have a wedding video at all. Thank you so much for being such a lovely part of our wedding day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

I came into weddings after years on big TV and film sets, and found that nothing I’d worked on matched the emotion of a real wedding day. Getting married myself last year made it personal. I know how quickly the day passes, and how much it means to relive it afterwards. I love being trusted with that. My goal is for you to watch your film years from now and feel exactly how the day felt.


Outside of filming, I love sports, travel and going on adventures with my wife. I’m a big foodie and a terrible dancer (luckily thats not part of the jobe role). I’ll always get on with couples and guests, and I’m happy to be the person who laughs at the best man’s jokes.
