About

I’m a Kent based wedding videographer, filming weddings across the South East.

Over the years my work has been recognised with awards, but my focus is always on capturing each couple’s day in a natural and authentic way.

My approach is relaxed and unobtrusive. Using small, cinema-quality cameras, I blend into the day while capturing real moments as they unfold. The result is a cinematic wedding film that feels timeless, honest, and true to life.

James makes dreams come true

I’m not sure where to start other than i didn’t want working with James to end! From the intro call to the planning meeting, arriving on the day and delivering our special video, working with James has been nothing short of an absolute JOY!

James has the unique ability to be your fun and caring friend on your wedding day whilst still maintaining the highest level of professionalism professional, and not only that, he brings bags of enthusiasm and insane levels of talent. When James had finished shooting our day, we didn’t want him to leave!!

When we received our wedding video, we got to relive our day through the eyes of our guests and the love that was shared - we shed many tears! As my mum sobbed watching the video back she said “he’s captured the joy” - and he really did. I’ve wanted a wedding video since i was a little girl, and James has made that little girl’s dream come true. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, James. 🫶🏼 Love, Mr & Mrs Westerman

The best of the best

An unforgettable experience from start to finish - in all the right ways! We were lucky enough to have James shoot our wedding and his charm, character and talent for capturing all the little moments made for the most incredible videos. He caught every expression, every look, every moment, and we ended up with films that we’ll cherish forever. My husband and I said that while watching them back, we could feel how we felt in the moment. What more could we ask for! And a shoutout to Yasmin who was nothing short of incredible throughout the process. So kind, caring and professional and willing to do whatever she could to make the process easy and enjoyable. All in all, a brilliant team who will deliver everything you want and more. Book them, you won’t regret it!

Just magical!

I have finally emotionally recovered from watching our wedding film and can hopefully put into words just how much we appreciate everything James David Films has done to make our wedding the most memorable experience of our lives!


Firstly, James was on it from the very beginning. A true professional and master of his craft. I had already viewed a few of the previous wedding films he’d shot and edited and it was unlike anything I’d ever seen before. They weren’t just clips strung together, they were a cinematic experience. I knew I had to have him as part of our special day. Yasmin (who deals with the admin side of things) was also wonderful, her communication and organisation was extremely smooth and efficient.

We were super lucky to have Hannah as our videographer. A genuine, warm person with so much passion and talent behind the lens. She captured every nuanced moment that would have otherwise been forgotten due to the craziness of the day. She was assisted by Mick who was so kind and relaxed, putting us at ease throughout.

They vibed so well with our photographers, working together to ensure we’d have memories of love and joy to last a lifetime.
The final product is unbelievable! I’ve watched our film (and it really is a film) every day since receiving it and every time I notice something different. A moment of laughter, a guest reaction, a look of love. It really is something else.

Thank you so much to everyone at James David Films for giving us something that we will treasure for the rest of our life.

Go and book them, you will not regret it!

Amazing videographer!!

We booked James and Mick as our wedding videographers and they were amazing! They captured the day perfectly.

Really easy to work with and captured everything we wanted and more, in a beautiful and natural style. Watching the videos brings us right back to the big day!

Hannah was also really helpful in organising and coordinating everything, making it so much easier.

Thank you so much! We would 100% recommend them.

Can't recommend James and team enough!!

All I can say is WOW! I cannot recommend James and his team enough! In the lead up to the wedding, James and Yasmin were both so attentive, answering any questions, sending us regular emails and video calls to run through details on the day - in which they both helped us to feel so calm and really get into the moment and enjoyment of what was to come in the following weeks. On the wedding day, both James and Mick fit in so well with the rest of the suppliers we had on the day, everyone became a well oiled machine and it meant that everyone could do what they needed to. James and Mick were also friendly and fit in seamlessly with guests also - was like they were part of the guest list! Nothing was too much of an ask, including helping us to capture the announcement of our wedding day surprise, our baby! We felt so at ease with them recording and to be honest, at some points completely forgot they were there as they blended in so well! Since the day, James has been teasing us with video sneak peaks and they give me goosebumps every time! I cannot wait to see the whole thing!! My husband and I have felt so emotional as cake has been eaten, flowers have wilted and our memories of the day are starting to fade and seeing these teaser clips has helped to take us straight back to the day and notice so many details that we'd hadn't noticed before! I cannot wait for the whole film. Would thoroughly recommend James and his team for your big day!

We've now received our final films and they are a beautiful way to relive the day. so many emotions and small things captured that we didnt notice on the day - having them to watch over and over again is beautiful.

You need james as your videographer for your wedding!

From the moment I filled out the form on his website to the conversation I had with him on the phone, I knew he was the right person to capture our wedding day perfectly!!! and from the videos we have now received from capturing every moment from the ceremony to the speeches and up to the evening celebration he has got the high spirit of the whole day and every moment is stunning and beautiful, so this is confirmation he is your guy!!!

James on the day was so professional and also very discreet in capturing the day with us and picking up moments that even we didn't notice. Even with people who are camera shy he has such a friendly manner it made then feel so at ease and comfortable that they loved it!!

Not only was he there doing the wedding video he also did these amazing Instagram reels including our guests which was utterly brilliant and everyone loved this and commented how amazing it was!!

I can't express how lovely these videos are - I literally cry happy tears every time I watch it. I will have these memories with me for a lifetime and just hearing your loved ones voices especially when they are not hear anymore still feels like they are in the room with you and that is priceless!!!!!! 5 stars just isn't enough I would give him 10 stars if I could.

Captured the emotion in the ceremony and the fun in the evening perfectly

We cannot thank James enough for the incredible wedding video he created for us. He perfectly captured the spirit of our day, from the ceremony to the evening celebrations, preserving every special moment beautifully. We are especially grateful to have the speeches recorded to relive forever!

James was early, professional, and discreetly captured so many wonderful moments without us even noticing. His friendly and relaxed nature made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, which truly shines through in the video.

On top of that, he created some fun short Instagram reels that I’ve absolutely loved watching and sharing! They perfectly highlight the best moments of the day in such a creative way.
