Films you’ll want to watch for a lifetime

We were lucky to find Nigel not long before our wedding. Right from the off you could tell he cared about making a video you will treasure forever. His portfolio was excellent and he really listened to understand what we were looking for. Despite not having long before the wedding he connected with our photographer and the two worked brilliantly together on the day.

The editing was amazing, it was quick, the footage all looked incredible and the videos came together beautifully. I know we’ll be rewatching them for years to come! It’s so special to have all of the vows and speeches too. We would 100% recommend Nigel if you’re looking for a video that captures your story, the joy of the day, and with great creativity!

A pleasure to work with

We choose Nigel to create a video of our wedding supporting the more traditional photographer. He was a pleasure to work with and communicated well in advance of the event planning everything with us, was super organised and worked the wedding well recording all of the important details. He is artistic and the questions he asked us and guests really brought out the spirit out the event and the warmth present. He worked exceptional hard after the event editing the films and incorporating music etc. We had a video of the ceremony, the speaks and a feature films which was very well constructed.

In summary very easy to work with and talented - the films arent cheesey and capture the spirit of your wedding - so glad we did it! Highly recommended

Extremely professional, highly recommended

We had Nigel shoot our Wedding Day in March. We met over video chat to discuss everything beforehand. He then liaised with our Photographer at Pausing Time Photography and the two communicated extremely well to map out the plan of action for the day. They worked exceptionally well together, along with our Celebrant, Emma Butler. They were an absolute dream team and pleasure to have with us on our special day. It put us completely at ease knowing that we had the best of the best, in terms of professionalism but also a group of people who felt they were giving a personal touch to everything they did that day too. What Nigel shot was nothing short of spectacular and amazing. We are extremely lucky to have met him and have him capture our day, it’s a memory we can cherish forever and we are eternally grateful. The video that he put together captured the raw emotion of the day so perfectly. We cannot express enough just how much we love it. And yes, it has made lots of people we shared it with very emotional! Including us! Lots of smiles and tears, in the best possible way. We could not recommend Nigel enough, words can’t express how highly I would recommend his expertise to capture your special day.

December Wedding in Cirencester

Nigel was the videographer at our wedding in Cirencester in December 2025.

We were absolutely thrilled with the films we received! He's a talented chap with an excellent eye for detail. Not only did he capture all the main highlights of the day, but he also did well capturing the small things that made our day so special too. The films were in keeping with our own individual unique tone and "vibe" of the day too. It was very "us"!.

We received two brilliant highlight reels and a reel of our first dance, and we couldn't be happier. Nigel's communication throughout the process was brilliant too, offering to make any changes or revisions to the films as we went along.

Nigel's presence on the day was great too. Nigel is warm, friendly and professional, discreetly working with our photographer and venue staff behind the scenes.

All in all, we could not recommend Nigel more highly if you're thinking of considering him for your wedding videographer. Do not hesitate!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

Hi! I'm Nigel, and I run Gardner Films!

I'm super passionate about making beautiful wedding films.

I like to blend ultra high-quality 4K camera footage with crisp audio from the day to bring back all the feelings of such a special time in your life.

I'm getting married myself in 2027, so I know how overwhelming all the planning can be. That's why I prefer to keep things as simple as possible by offering just one package!

When I'm not filming/editing, I love to play drums and guitar.
