About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2020

Last update: February 2025

Hi, I’m John Joseph, a professional wedding videographer based in Manchester. I have shot over 200 unique weddings and love my job!

My style is fly on the wall. I want to capture all the natural cheer and joy of the day. The best moments on film are always the unplanned ones. I want to think I am a friendly face on the big day, being as unobtrusive as possible.

I have been a videographer and video editor for nearly 10 years. I love creating something that couples will treasure for a lifetime. Outside of weddings, I have worked on promotional work and adverts and have filmmaking experience, allowing a cinematic approach to my films.

I can’t wait to hear from you and capture your special day.

Fantastic Video and videographer

We made a semi last minute decision to have a videographer as my grandpa wasn't able to make the wedding, and it was the best decision we made. The videos we have were absolutely incredible, we laughed and cried watching the video. They were truly magical, and I would 100% recommend John to capture your day. From the moment we first communicated he was brilliant, and incredibly friendly and warm. When he arrived on the day, within minutes he had everybody laughing.

Best decision

I went out on a whim last minute and booked jon and it was the best decision I could have made! When he arrived in the morning he straight away put me and my bridesmaids at ease. We didn't actually realise when he was in the room. I've had so many compliments on how friendly he was and considering he had never met my photographer before they jelled instantly and people assumed they were a team. Thankyou so much jon we absolute love our video and will treasure it always x

Amazing john

We had a very small, private wedding earlier in May this year and John captured it perfectly. He understood what we wanted from our video and we have watched it back many times since. Honestly was one of the best things we did was hire John!

Amazing videographer

I cannot recommend John enough, he captured our day beautifully. He worked along side our photographer amazingly and we cannot thank him enough. We were undecided if having a videographer was worth the extra expense but I can definitely say it is 100% worth it. I am now able to watch through my wedding day anytime I like and watch those little bits that I would never had seen if it wasn't for John !!!

Such a joy of a videographer

We cannot thank John enough for helping us create a lasting memory of our special day.

From the moment we booked John, they were so informative and thorough. Everything was so clearly explained to us and no question was too much. We loved how enthusiastic they were about our plans and how adaptable they were when we explained our vision for the day.

They worked seamlessly with our photographer even though they’d never met. All our guests loved getting involved and John created some really fun moments throughout the day.

The film was edited beautifully and everything was captured perfectly. The quality of the film and sound is exceptional and for such a reasonable price.

I would highly recommend John if you want a documentary style, spontaneous and real representation of your wedding day.

Highly recommend/fantastic service

John was our wedding videographer and we could not recommend him enough. Always so responsive before the day with any questions or queries we had. On the day, he was an absolute star. So friendly and put us at ease. John has a very candid/relaxed approach to his filming which captured some incredible shots. We got our wedding trailer back very quickly and can't wait to see the full version.

Highly recommend. Thank you John!

Have no doubts about hiring John as your videographer!

I could not recommend John Joesph enough! Communication was excellent throughout, on the wedding day he remained professional and the perfect combination of hidden in the background and at the forefront. The trailer and highlight video were sent quicker than anticipated and were of a fantastic quality. They captured everything we had asked for with a combination of candid and posed clips. Guests and suppliers commented on how polite and friendly John was.

Beautifully authentic

John was an absolute pleasure to work with. The video captured every aspect of our special day beautifully and we couldn't be happier. Capturing natural and authentic moments, John was also loved by our guests which made him sharing our special day even better.
Thanks for capturing memories we'll enjoy watching over and over again..

The best investment in our wedding - book him!

We hired John to video our wedding in September 2023 and we couldn't have had a better service. We wish we could give him more than 5 stars! In the run up to the wedding, John was organised and professional, meaning we didn't need to worry about a thing. On the day he was such a lovely presence, making all of our guests feel comfortable.

Upon receiving the edited videos we couldn't be happier. It's incredible how he managed to capture so many wonderful moments, while also being virtually invisible on the day! We now have a moving record of our entire day (including bits we missed) and it was the best investment we made. We know we will watch these videos back for years to come. If you're considering booking John, do it, you really won't regret it!

Professional and friendly service

John was a fantastic asset to our special day. He did a great job working in the background throughout the day and capturing some lovely moments, all while being friendly and helpful when we needed him or when he wanted to recommend certain shots. Couldn't be happier with the final video, an overall wonderful experience.

Wonderful video, great person

John James is genuinely so so lovely. He and our photographer had never met before but they worked seamlessly together on the wedding day.

We would absolutely recommend him to anyone and he had such a fair price. He sent the preview video back much quicker than expected and we absolutely loved it!

Excellent and beyond expectations!

We got Johns details through Hitched and emailed him for a last minute wedding videography booking. John was extremely fast at getting back to us via email and we quickly booked and confirmed with him. He suggested a zoom meeting to get to know eachother which was a great idea and he immediately put us at ease. During the wedding at times I forgot John was there because he was so unobtrusive. Everyone commented on how friendly and chatty he was - he’s just a really nice guy. He came up with some great ideas using different areas around our wedding venue and we were really encouraged to have fun! We have already seen our 2 minute wedding trailer and I have watched it hundreds of times already, I love it! Can’t wait to see the full video. I really think it was the best money we spent on the whole wedding. Thankyou John!!
