The best videographer you could ever ask for!

It’s incredibly hard to put into words just how amazing James is as a wedding videographer. From the moment we first reached out, his warmth, professionalism, and genuine friendliness stood out. His communication was flawless, and we instantly felt confident we were in great hands.

Fast forward to the big day, James didn’t just meet our expectations, he completely exceeded them. The moment we saw his smiling face, any nerves we had melted away. Somehow, having a camera around felt completely natural, and that’s all down to James’ calming presence and unobtrusive style.

James is the definition of a professional. He went above and beyond to create what can only be described as a masterpiece. He struck the perfect balance between capturing all the important moments, allowing us to enjoy time with our guests, and giving us space to be together as a couple. His attention to detail and creative eye are second to none.

By the end of the day, James wasn’t just our videographer, he felt like part of the family. We genuinely hope to see him at every future wedding we attend, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to absolutely everyone. If you're lucky enough to book James, know that you're in for something truly special.

Highly Recommend James!

We’re so glad we chose James as our wedding videographer. He was warm, friendly, and made us feel completely at ease. He captured every moment beautifully while being non-intrusive and professional.

The videos are incredible and full of emotion, and his editing is brilliant. We couldn’t be happier and will treasure them forever. Highly recommend James to anyone looking for a talented and genuine videographer.

1000% recommend!

We feel so lucky to have had James as our wedding videographer! He was so personable and we felt totally at ease around him (especially discussing cats!) He fitted in seamlessly with our other suppliers and with our family, and not once did I feel like it was a chore being filmed. He was super flexible in what we wanted, too.

Some of the shots he got were out of this world, and the edits had so much heart and emotion in them. We couldn't have wished for a better videographer and are so grateful to have these videos to remember our day by. I would 1000% recommend James - one of the best wedding decisions we made!

Highly recommend 🤩.

From start to finish, working with James was an absolute pleasure. He made the whole process so easy and enjoyable, guiding us through everything with such professionalism and calmness. On the wedding day itself, even though he wasn’t feeling 100%, you would never have known — he was fantastic! Friendly, unobtrusive, and full of creative energy, capturing every special moment perfectly.

We’ve already seen our teaser trailer and it’s absolutely amazing — the emotion, the atmosphere, and the joy of the day have all been captured so beautifully. We honestly can’t wait to see the full video and relive it all over again!

James went above and beyond for us, and we couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely lovely videographer, we couldn’t recommend him highly enough. ❤️.

Best videographer we could have asked for!!

If anyone is looking for a videographer who helps with your vision, make you laugh and relax before the moment you walk down the aisle and throughout the day. Then James is the best videographer you could ask for! We always walk along the beach so we booked a venue located along the seafront. My vision was to have the camera looking over the path we walk all the time. Unfortunately as wedding luck had it, we woke up to probably the windiest day of the month. Thankfully James made it his mission to get the drone footage first thing and it looked incredible! He was friendly and all our guests were praising him as a person and work. If we were to do it all again James would definitely be on our list of must haves!!

We highly recommend booking James as your wedding videographer - you won’t regret it!

James is a talented videographer with a keen eye for detail. He is extremely personable, and made us feel really comfortable and relaxed, both before the wedding at our consultation and during the wedding day itself. James was so professional and fitted perfectly into the background of our wedding to capture all of the raw and special moments. He also coached us through some specific shots during our couple portrait session, which came out so natural and easy on camera.

We were so excited to see our wedding video, and when it arrived it was all we could have wanted and more. The video perfectly captures the story of our wedding day, along with all of the details and emotion. Every time we watch it, it feels like we can perfectly relive our special day. Aside from it capturing all of the memories, it is also really high quality and very well put together.

We highly recommend booking James as your wedding videographer - you won’t regret it!

100% recommend


Having videography at our wedding was one of the best choices we made and choosing James was the icing on the cake. We are beyond amazed with our final video, it is everything we hoped for and more.

On the day, James was truly wonderful. We were very nervous being filmed but James put us at ease and there were moments he captured that we didn’t even realise he was there. He had amazing ideas and gave us direction and advice on what to do where needed. This was a godsend as we can easily be awkward behind the camera and he made us feel relaxed, natural and at ease - just what we wanted for our perfect video. He worked really well with our photographer even though they’d never met and he made our guests feel comfortable. He used a range of different cameras and a drone which produced a video from multi directions.

Completely 100% recommended James to anyone looking for wedding videography, you will be in safe hands and have an amazing record of your special day to look back on forever.

Amazing wedding videographer!

James was an amazing videographer for our wedding and we have beautiful wedding videos! They’re perfect and he captured the day so wonderfully with all our special memories, we’re very grateful. Also excellent value for the video, ceremony, speeches videos. James was really helpful in the lead up to the wedding, he was really nice, polite and relaxed. He blended into the background, he had some great ideas on the day and tailored the video to us and what we wanted. We would wholeheartedly recommend him!

10/10 service and videography. James is the best.

Having James provide us with our videography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding which is some statement given the day we had.

From pre wedding day video call to his final work James provided a 10 out of 10 service. He’s so talented and we are blown away with the videos he has provided us with and can’t thank him enough.

Aside from the amazing videos, James was such a great addition to our special day and we really enjoyed working with him and he worked perfectly with our photographer who was booked separate.

The way he was able to combine different cameras, lenses and a drone into his work was amazing and aside from the moments we came away from our guests for some special shots James managed to keep his distance from guests and never felt in the way or in peoples faces.

Really couldn’t be happier with his work.

Thank you so much James.

James is a star, we now have a permanent momento that captures our day perfectly

James was the videographer for our wedding and we cannot recommend him highly enough! He went over and above to accommodate our requests and we are delighted with the end result, having a permanent momento that captures our day perfectly is priceless. James communicated brilliantly throughout, scheduling calls to get to know us, what we were looking for and to regularly checking in to make sure he knew the schedule for the day. He did a great job of capturing our day in a non-intrusive way, even getting some amazing drone footage in December! James worked brilliantly with our photographer as well which made us and our guests super relaxed. Choosing a videographer can be a minefield but we are so glad we chose James.

Incredible

James was an incredible person to work with for my Wedding, he was sweet and charming and put myself and my guests at ease throughout the entire wedding, he never made me feel as though I was on display and shot some beautiful candid moments throughout the day. The final edits were absolutely stunning, they captured the beauty of the day and the joy of all the guests, I was so amazed at his ability to seamlessly edit together songs, speech and everything in between and the final work is something I will cherish forever, Thank you so Much James!!!

Wonderful film to relive our wedding day

We were so thrilled with the video James produced of our wedding day. Our wedding day went by in a flash and it is hard to take everything in so the video is a wonderful reminder that really captured the atmosphere in such an authentic way and really does take us right back.

James has a lovely natural. relaxed and obtrusive style and he worked really well with our photographer. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to other couples.
