Last update: December 2025

Hi, I’m John Corcoran. I film weddings in an unobtrusive and unscripted way, naturally filming the day as I see it unroll. I always feel privileged being asked to film a wedding - it is a day full of happiness and love, which the couple shares with all of the people close to them. I started my business, A Beautiful Day Productions, over 15 years ago to shoot weddings in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire and throughout the UK. In 2018, I won the prestigious award of wedding videographer of the year for the Eastern region.

I film using small professional Canon mirrorless cameras and lenses, capturing moments from a distance to record your special day. A Beautiful Day Productions offers a wedding film with a movie feel and touch for each film we produce.

The Highlights wedding Package. Full day filming (from preparations to the first dance), 8-10 minute 4K cinematic highlight film plus a 60-second preview video. £875

Holmewood Hall Wedding

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with John and Monika. From the very beginning, they were professional, friendly, and incredibly easy to work with, which immediately put us at ease on such an important day.
On the wedding day itself, they captured every special moment so naturally and beautifully — from the big emotional highlights to the small, candid details we didn’t even realize were happening. They blended into the day seamlessly while still making sure nothing important was missed.
When we received our video, we were absolutely blown away. The storytelling, editing, and music choice perfectly reflected the feel of our wedding and brought us right back to those moments. We’ve watched it countless times and still get emotional every time.
If you’re looking for a videographer who truly cares about your story and delivers stunning work, we cannot recommend A Beautiful Day Productions enough. This video is something we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

Speechless!!

John was the first vendor we booked when we started planning our wedding as I knew from the very start that I would want to capture every single moment of our wedding. My memory is not great and I was so scared that id forget details soon after.
We had meetings before the big day where we went through everything. I felt 100% confident in him and his work and my god he came through.
We felt so comfortable around him. John is polite, friendly and and easy to talk to.
Our video is beyond incredible. It surpassed beyond my expectations. I knew it would be amazing and it was even better.
We laughed and cried ALOT whilst watching our film, it felt like we were getting married all over again, I felt every emotion watching it back. I will never ever forget our special day for as long as we live, thanks to John.
Thank you so so much!

A must have for your wedding!

I cannot recommend John’s services more! We’ve just received our full wedding video back and it’s a perfect capturing of our day. What we loved the most was being able to see some of the smaller moments that we had missed and that photos didn’t do justice to like the best man putting a hand on the groom’s back as I came down the aisle, my sister running over to me after the first dance, the smiles between family members at a shared joke and all of the reactions to the speeches. It’s so wonderful to be able to hear those words again as I felt like I hardly took them in on the day itself. John blended seamlessly into our day, working perfectly with our photographer to capture all of the big moments and those little details in between. He was always quick to respond and professional throughout. Our final video was delivered to us in a beautiful presentation box with everything we needed to watch our special day and the editing was so perfect. Thank you again!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Enormous Thank You to John and Monika!

We want to express our deepest gratitude to John and Monika for the truly exceptional job they did capturing our special day. From our very first meeting, they were warm, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. They took the time to understand our vision, listened carefully to what mattered most to us, and made sure every important detail was beautifully documented.

On the day itself, they were an absolute joy to have around — calm, organized, and full of positive energy. They managed to be everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive, capturing genuine moments of emotion, laughter, and connection. Their teamwork and creativity were amazing to watch, and they put us completely at ease in front of the camera.

The final video exceeded all our expectations. Every scene flows so naturally, and the way they captured the atmosphere, the emotions, and the little in-between moments brought all the memories flooding back. It truly feels like reliving the day every time we watch it.

We are so grateful for all the care, effort, and artistry John and Monika put into their work. They are not only incredibly talented videographers but also wonderful people who clearly love what they do. We will cherish this video forever and can’t recommend them highly enough to anyone looking for professionals who go above and beyond, the cherry on the cake was how John hand delivered our wedding video in a box with a bottle of Prosecco and a box of Maltesers, absolutely priceless.

Once again, thank you to the both of you xx

August Wedding at Burghley House

John was absolutely brilliant right from the start, having had 2 meetings with him prior to our wedding for him to understand all the details of the day. On the day John and his second shooter were brilliant to work with, professional, friendly and a pleasure to have on our day understanding all our needs.
The end results were everything we dreamed of and more, edited in the most beautiful way we couldn’t recommend John enough!

Absolutely top tier in every single way 🥂

Booking A Beautiful Day Productions for my daughter’s wedding day was one of the most important sections we made. John and Ryan captured the love and emotion of the whole day, so professional, polite and kind. It was a day full of surprises but they never missed a single second, memories that we will cherish and will last forever. When we received the finished film we were blown away. The music, the effects, the timing, all perfection. I have watched it so many times and each time I see something different and it makes my heart skip a beat. Thank you John and Ryan, for all your hard work, before during and after the very best day of our lives 🥂

May 2025 Wedding

My husband and I are delighted with our experience working with John at A Beautiful Day Productions! During our initial meeting, his professionalism and love for his work was immediately apparent - we really enjoyed chatting with him and seeking his professional advice which was offered with no expectations.

John was communicative and reassuring in the run up to the wedding so we knew exactly what to expect, and he was such a friendly and encouraging presence on the wedding day itself which was so appreciated. We had been apprehensive that the couple shot moments throughout the day might feel unnatural or awkward but we both had so much fun!

The final products are just outstanding. The two minute trailer was sent to us the evening of the next day, and we recently received the highlights and full video in 4K. John captured the essence of the day brilliantly. It is visually stunning, but the way it reflects the character of the day - relaxed, but joyfully earnest - was so thoughtful and considered; we're so impressed!

We would thoroughly recommend A Beautiful Day Productions!

A great videographer with an exceptional service

We were very lucky to require Johns services through our photographer, and we couldn't be happier with the results.

John was great on our wedding day, very professional yet made it a fun experience. Throughout the day it didn't even feel like cameras were there and that we were even being filmed, yet John has managed to capture very moment we could have wished for, and the moments we had missed ourselves, which have been fantastic to watch back.

The video itself is edited in such a way it feels like we our guests watching our own Wedding back, and reliving every amazing moment; such a beautiful soundtrack used as well.

John even provided additional footage for us on request, which he didn't have to do, but that just shows John goes the extra mile to provide the best service.

We would highly recommend.

Our wonderful wedding video

We took a lot of time choosing a videographer, it was one of the decisions that made me feel overwhelmed, mainly because I knew after our day was over, the main things we'd have to cherish our day forever would be our photos and video.

After trawling through what felt like hundreds of videographers we found John, I watched a sample of his work and then set to finding him on Instagram to look at more! He captured our attention straight away - we wanted someone that could offer a full length video but also a trailer that we could share on social media... something John did very well, so got in touch with John to have a chat about the service he offered and to check that he was a good fit for us and our day!

On chatting to John we felt confident he could offer exactly what we wanted and in the blink of an eye our day arrive! We'd obviously met John over videocall in the run up to the wedding but the first time we met in person was on the big day, John is one of those people who you meet who is instantly warm, you feel like you could have known him years.

John seamlessly fitted into our day, we wanted someone that could manage to capture our day but without if feeling invasive and he had this down to a tee. He worked with our photographers to ensure they all got the content that they needed, meaning they each had the quality shots without fighting each other for them (trust me I've been at weddings where this was NOT the case)

John was there from us getting ready until after the band were playing away and checked with us that we were happy and we had everything and everyone we wanted included before he left- we couldn't have been any happier with how the day had gone and had no doubt that the final video would be incredible ❤️

A short few weeks after we received a trailer of our video and it captured our day perfectly, I couldn't even imagine how perfect the final video would be! After a few months wait (but still before the time frame John gave us) we received the most beautifully presented box in the post! Our wedding video but with an arrangement of goodies including a framed photo, chocolates and a mini bottle of prosecco- such a beautiful touch.

That night we sat down to watch and I cried for about 50% of it, the happiest of tears streaming down my face! My husband and I, our beautiful children, parents, grandparents and friends all there on the big screen, celebrating our day - it was perfect! The work John did managed to condense every important moment of our day into our video... and i couldn't be more greatful.

Having a videographer for us was an investment - something we originally didn't know if it was in our budget, but to have the ability to see all of the people we love, in one video celebrating one of the most important days of our lives is honestly worth its weight in gold and I can't thank John enough

Scrivelsby Garden Wedding 2024

Our day was captured beautifully!
From start to finish we were made to feel at ease and as though the camera wasn’t there (very important for two people not that comfortable in front of a camera but eager to capture our special day). John was really organised prior to the day, gaining info on our timeline, which helped with capturing the smaller details throughout the day. As a very nervous bride, I felt instantly calm and comfortable with John and he captured such beautiful moments, from the bridal party getting ready right through to the driver of our Rolls Royce, who I shared was a really important part of our family. He was kindly directive, which was really helpful for me and the groom who needed the direction to help us capture the shots!
We look back at our wedding videos and can see our personalities captured so wonderfully throughout. We got to enjoy some of the most amazing moments which we didn’t get to see on the day, due to being the bride and groom! The editing of the video was fantastic (and emotional) and we’re pleased John honoured our music choices! Initially not sure if we’d book a videographer, I’m so so pleased we did! It was worth every penny and we’re so grateful to have this core memory to look back at and enjoy in the future. Thank you so much 🤍

John was amazing. Having him part of our amazing day was effortless. He guided us when needed, and stood back and captured the gorgeous moments with no one realising.
Everyone who watched our trailer cried, as it captured our day perfectly , and our full video is just so so special,

I can’t recommend John enough. Thank you for capturing our memories

Unforgettable Memories!

We found John through a Google search and were immediately drawn to his advert videos and competitive pricing. After reaching out, he came to our home to discuss our vision for the day. He had in-depth knowledge of our wedding venues — Normanton Church in Rutland and our reception venue in Stilton — and offered valuable insight into what he could and couldn’t do. His communication was fantastic leading up to the wedding, always quick to answer any questions we had.

On the day, John arrived promptly and looked very professional. He was relaxed but professional throughout, blending seamlessly into the background, which allowed us to enjoy our day without feeling overwhelmed. A few weeks after the wedding, we received our 3-minute trailer video — it was pure joy! I’ve watched it countless times. John ensured we had the full video before Christmas, and it was magical to relive the day and see all the moments we missed. After Christmas, our 13-minute highlight video arrived, capturing all the special moments perfectly.

We absolutely love our videos and don’t regret booking John for a second. If you’re on the fence about hiring a videographer, do it — it’s absolutely worth the extra cost, and booking John is a decision you won’t regret. He’s professional, talented, and worth every penny!

Best wedding video ever!

We had the pleasure of working with John & Monika for our wedding in August, and they exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were unmatched.

The video perfectly captured the emotions of the day—every laugh, tear, and special moment was beautifully preserved. They have an incredible eye and the editing was seamless and elegant.

They were a joy to work with: punctual, responsive, and so easy to communicate with. On the wedding day, they blended into the background while still capturing everything perfectly. The whole family loved them and they were great with our four kids. They worked hard all day which we might add was a very long one!

If you’re looking for a wedding videographer who will tell your love story with authenticity we wholeheartedly recommend John. We cannot thank you enough.

The MOST talented videographers 🎥

A Beautiful Day Productions were perfect. The mini-video they created for Instagram has so far had over 26-THOUSAND (26.6k) views! So it’s not just our friends and families who love the video they produced
😊 The wedding preview is incredibly high-quality and romantic, with lovely ethereal music. My husband and I must have watched it 100 times! 😅 (Here is the website link, if you’re curious: https://vimeo.com/990917354)

The longer wedding video captured the feel of our wedding so well that it really does feel like we’re back there again when we watch it!

On the day, John and Monika were so discreet, and worked very well with our photographers. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with lovelier people, and we hope you get the chance to work with them on your Big Day, too!

Thank you again John and Monika for everything you did for us before, during and after our wedding day! Tesh and Callum Hibbert

Holmewood Hall 13th July 2024

We had the wedding of our dreams! A truly magical day. A beautiful day production were instrumental in making this happen. John & Monika are a dynamic pair. Professional, talented, creative, approachable & I felt they truly listened to what was important to us for our wedding video. Nothing was too much trouble & they understood exactly what we wanted as they took time to get to know us, make notes at our initial meeting & remember all the little details that make for a unique video, tailored to us the wedding couple, as we are all unique individuals. Our completed wedding video in it’s entirety made me cry tears of pure joy!! Importantly they are discreetly in the background, capturing special moments without us even realising they were there!! I cannot recommend A Beautiful Day Production highly enough!!! John & Monika you rock!!!! 😊
