Amazing Videography for Your Wedding

We couldn’t be happier with the incredible work James did for our wedding! From the very beginning, he was professional, responsive, and attentive to all our needs in the lead-up to the big day.

On the wedding day itself, James went above and beyond—working seamlessly in the background while putting us completely at ease. He made sure every meaningful moment was captured beautifully, without ever being intrusive.

We were also thrilled to receive our teaser footage in just two weeks, which was a lovely surprise and gave us an early glimpse of the memories he preserved so perfectly.

If you’re looking for an excellent wedding videographer at a reasonable cost, James is the one. The footage was stunning, and his editing was top-notch—a true professional who delivers amazing results!

Incredible videographer

From start to finish James was very responsive and replied to every question regarding our big day. His attention to detail is outstanding. Our vision was brought to life, capturing from start to finish the love myself and my husband have for eachother (wasn’t a dry eye in sight). Highly recommend James. 5star

What a guy!

James was fantastic! We booked him because we loved the video he shot at Euridge Manor. We loved the way he coloured it all and the shots were gorgeous. Wow. Did he pull that out of the bag for us in spades!
His drone shots were amazing. The angles he got of the day were stunning. The creativity shown was just right.
Overall we really couldn't be happier, thank you so much James. You've made something that we'll be able to look back on happily forever.

Amazing videos to remember a very happy day

We are absolutely delighted with our wedding video experience with James. From start to finish, he was professional, friendly, and so easy to work with. He blended seamlessly into the day, capturing every moment naturally and beautifully. We were so happy with how quickly our wedding preview video was returned. We were even more happy with the content! James sent us recordings of our ceremony and speeches in addition to the full length edited video and preview edited video. They were all of the highest quality, but my favourite is the full length edited video. The video really captured our day and brings us so much joy every time we watch it. James managed to catch all the best bits and piece it together beautifully. We’re so grateful for his work and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone. Absolutely five stars.

The perfect video for our Gatsby themed wedding!

We can't recommend James highly enough. He was very friendly and responsive in all communication, and was so lovely to meet too. In the BEST way possible, we barely saw or noticed him for the whole evening as he documented our wedding party. The video he has created for us is BRILLIANT - he chose the music perfectly for the Gatsby theme and captured the night so perfectly. Our friends and family have all said how great it is too!

Brilliant wedding livestream

We got married in July 2020 so all of our original wedding plans went out of the window with the Covid regulations. We were only allowed 30 guests at our wedding so there were lots of people who were unable to attend and see us get married. James videoed our wedding so that he could livestream it to those who weren’t able to be there. He sorted everything from the link to share with friends and family, multiple cameras for different views and we got a great memento with a copy of the livestream. It was a very unique experience working under the restrictions but James’s diligence and attention to detail helped us to share our special day. We are so grateful for his skills and expertise in pulling this off for us.

If we could give James more than 5*s, we would! James captured our day beautifully! He made us feel at ease in front of the camera and blended into our wedding as if he were a guest! We’re so pleased with the results, he managed to capture shots we never imagined possible and the quality is fantastic.
Don’t hesitate to book James! We would highly recommend him.

Thanks again for helping to bring alive the memories of our day, we’ll treasure it forever!

James is incredible!

We couldn’t be more thrilled with the incredible videography James Freestone provided for our wedding day! On the day itself, he was unobtrusive yet present, seamlessly blending into the background while still managing to capture every meaningful moment.

The final video was breathtaking. James has an incredible talent for storytelling, weaving together the most intimate, joyous, and beautiful parts of our day in a way that truly reflected the emotions we felt. His attention to detail, from the candid moments to the sweeping shots of our venue, was remarkable. We felt like we were reliving the entire day every time we watched the video.

We’re so grateful for James’s expertise and the memories he’s preserved for us. His work is truly exceptional, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to capture their wedding in a way that feels both timeless and personal. Thank you, James!

Incredible videographer

James was our wedding videographer and not only is he incredibly creative, he is an absolutely lovely guy as well. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he was so calm in manner throughout the whole day. He melted into the background for candid shots throughout the day, capturing the moments that really mattered. He was incredibly creative throughout, working with our photographer to create some magical imagery.

He sent us a trailer for the video within a week of the wedding. While it was just a short taster of what was to come, it perfectly captured the feel and tone of the wedding. The cinematic fashion in which he films feels so contemporary yet timeless. The moments he chooses to put on film are selected to perfection. We felt like the film was a true reflection of us as a couple, and of our wedding. I truly don't understand how he has managed to capture, edit and compile a film which seems to show every facet of our relationship down to the letter, as though he has known us and been with us on every step of the journey since we first got together. In short, it has been nothing short of incredible working with him. He is an artist.
