I felt compelled to comment here because our experience with Jamie at Songbird Wedding Videos was completely different.
Even in Oliver’s review it’s clear Jamie was professional on the day, discreet, and delivered a highlights film they were happy with. That already says a lot about the quality of his work and his approach.
From our experience, Jamie’s style is intentionally documentary and cinematic rather than a long, literal recording of every second of the day. That creative storytelling is exactly why we chose Songbird. Our wedding films were beautifully edited and captured the atmosphere and emotion of the day perfectly.
It’s also worth remembering that wedding films are creative edits of the same footage, so highlights naturally appear across different versions of the final films. That’s very normal in wedding videography and certainly not “lazy”.
As for the turnaround time, we also waited longer than we had hoped, but once we received the films it was obvious how much care, editing skill and craftsmanship had gone into them. Quality work does take time, and in our case it was absolutely worth the wait.
Out of more than 150 reviews, this appears to be the only negative one, which really speaks for itself. Our experience with Jamie was fantastic and the films he created for us are something we will treasure forever.
Songbird Wedding Videos is absolutely worth it and we would recommend Jamie without hesitation.

On the wedding day itself, the videographer was pleasant and did not get in anyone's way, which is all one can ask for. We were pleased with the 7 minute highlights video we received, which looked professional and captured most of the key moments we expected. However, things went downhill from there. When the full-length video arrived (a week or so before the deadline), we were surprised to find that Songbird had essentially reproduced the exact same highlights video they had already sent us, only this time it was split up by the full-length speeches and ceremony videos (which we received separately anyway), which were inserted in the middle.

Not only did this seem like a lazy approach, it also resulted in a product that was not remotely what Songbird advertise or what we had discussed and agreed over the phone and via email. We had expected a natural, documentary-style video, and outside of the speeches and ceremony, what we received was essentially a trailer, with zero audio from the day and a series of 2-3 second clips, maybe 5-10 seconds of our first dance and omitting other key parts of the day. Even the speeches weren't filmed properly, with one of the bridesmaids half out of shot.

We sent an email to Songbird 16 days ago voicing our concerns and requesting a resolution. As of today, Songbird have not responded to our email. We will update this review if they do, and consider increasing the rating depending on their response.

We used Songbird for our wedding earlier this year and I'm so glad that we did. Unfortunately our other photographer let us down but the team from Songbird stepped in and made sure that we captured the images that we were missing. The videos are fantastic post event, they are very responsive to edit requests and have even been able to splice in some material that was recorded on a phone.
Thank you very much to all of you for helping us capture and keep the memories that we made on our special day!

Songbird played a huge part in making our wedding day everything we had hoped for—and more.

From start to finish, Songbird’s professionalism, creativity, and care helped bring our vision to life. Every detail came together so beautifully, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. We felt so supported throughout the entire process, and it was clear how much passion and effort went into Songbird’s work.

We’ve received so many compliments from our guests, and we know that Songbird’s contribution made a lasting impression.

Thank you for helping create memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime.

We cannot recommend Songbird Wedding Videos enough! They were absolutely fantastic, from first contact to receiving the final edits.

Rachael made us feel at ease during the first meeting, where we were able to put across the kind of wedding we were having and be listened to with consideration. We knew immediately after speaking with her that Songbird were the ones for us.

Jamie couldn't have been more perfect on the day, he was such a grounding presence and there to give a fist bump of encouragement whenever it was needed.
He was everywhere we wanted him to be without being in anyone's way.

My Husband (yay) and I are both quite awkward people, so Songbird's way of capturing videos unobtrusively without artificial posing was exactly what we both needed. There were so many moments on the final video where I thought "wow didn't even realise he was there for that".

The final videos were perfect and we're absolutely obsessed with them, from capturing the private moments, to the speeches being overlayed, to seeing the partying at night. We've lost count how many times we've watched them already and each time we love it more.

Thank you both so much, we're so thankful we chose you!

We make videos ourselves, so we know just how much goes into getting it right. From the moment we first spoke to Songbird, we felt completely understood. Rachael took so much care during the consultation, asking the right questions, really listening, and gently offering ideas that made everything feel easy.

On the day, Jamie was wonderful. He had such a calm presence, checking in when needed but never intruding. Somehow, he managed to be everywhere without ever feeling in the way.

And then came the final film. We were completely moved. It captured our day so beautifully that we found ourselves seeing moments we hadn’t even realised were happening. The pace, the music, the way the vows and readings were woven into the soundtrack – it all felt so thoughtful, so intentional, and so full of feeling.

We didn’t want anything cheesy or overdone, and they understood that completely. What they delivered was something real and honest and full of love. It’s more than a wedding video. It’s a piece of art we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives.

We honestly couldn’t be more grateful.

Songbird Wedding Videos are absolutely amazing!! The whole experience with them was smooth from start to finish, from firstly liaising with Rachael and discussing what we were looking for, to having Jamie with us on the day, to the beautiful videos we received afterwards! Our wedding was in April this year and Jamie was brilliant from start to finish. He was kind and friendly throughout and really put us at ease, which shows in the footage we received. We opted to have a short video, full length video and separate ceremony and speeches videos. Every single one is perfect! I can't recommend Songbird Wedding Videos enough, absolutely fab!!

Songbird Wedding Videos have been absolutely fantastic throughout - Pav was our amazing videographer and was perfect for our day. We knew our guests wouldn't feel comfortable with a camera right in their face which we explained to Pav. In the run up to our wedding he reassured us he would take a much more background approach whilst still recording the key moments of our wedding day. Our final videos are incredible, so many lovely moments captured - many times we or our guests didn't even realize Pav was filming! All of the videos are made with high quality recording / editing and the team have personalized the overlaid music brilliantly for us. To have a highlights reel, ceremony & speeches captured for memories is wonderful - I haven't stopped watching them since!

Rachael and Jamie are incredible! We were unsure about hiring a videographer for our wedding as we didn't know if it would be worth the money and perhaps it was unnecessary– we were WRONG! It was one of the best (and fairly late-on) decisions that we made. From our first chat with the Songbird team right through all of the planning, the wedding day and receiving our gorgeous videos, we could not have been in safer hands. They really pride themselves on what they do, and the final result was incredible. We couldn't believe all of the amazing shots that Jamie got on the day– he was like a ninja! We barely noticed the cameras, so all of our footage is natural and completely captures the day as it was. The editing is also fantastic, exactly the vibe that we were looking for. Side note, Rachael also created our gorgeous place name cards for the tables, so definitely take advantage of this multi-talented crew :) Thanks Songbird, we appreciate everything so much x

A huge thank you to the Songbird team for being brilliant from the initial consultation right through to delivery of our videos, the service we received was fantastic! The videos are absolutely wonderful and we’ve loved reliving the day over and over again. They captured the day perfectly and the quality and edit is SO good! We barely noticed the camera on the day and seeing everything that was captured (including the raw footage!) has been amazing and something we will treasure for years to come. We are so grateful and would highly recommend!

Massive thank you to Jamie and Rachael! Communication with Rachael was great from beginning to end and Jamie was absolutely fab on the day - he made us feel so at ease and captured our day amazingly! We are so happy with our highlights and documentary videos, honestly can’t recommend Songbird Wedding Videos enough!

Jamie came to our wedding day, was incredibly professional and blended in so well, capturing some natural yet unique moments throughout our day. We are over the moon with everything we received and how well organised they have been! Thank you so much! Cannot recommend enough!!

We are over the moon with how our wedding videos have turned out. Communication with Rachael has been excellent from the moment of enquiring. The videographer, Sam, was so lovely on the day, he was discreet yet evidently from the footage in all the right places at the right times. We had to change a couple of clips in the final footage not due to any fault of the videographer or the company and they were more than happy to oblige with a really quick turn around. Everyone we have shared our videos with have said they have been so well captured and it felt like they were reliving the day all over again. A massive plus is having the raw footage !!!! There are some beautiful clips of conversations with guests including the audio, interactions with our son and various other things that wouldn’t have been necessarily suitable for the final edits but are still such special moments we would never have seen if we hadn’t of gone for this package. We will forever treasure what they have created for us! Thank you all x

We hired songbird to document our wedding in July. A major bonus for us was to be able to receive all the raw footage afterwards.

From the very beginning Rachael was so impressive, quick to answer any questions and put our minds at ease for any queries we may have.

We first met our videographer Ali via a phone call, he was very helpful and friendly, we were able to go through the plan for the day and discuss how we may capture it.

Just before the day Rachael emailed us to make sure everything was all okay and wished us luck which was a nice touch.

On the day Ali arrived nice and early and was very professional, he was very respectful of the rules the church had in place and done a wonderful job of capturing the ceremony in an inconspicuous way.

At our reception Ali fitted in wonderfully getting lovely shots of us and the guests, directing where necessary to capture some lovely images. He really done a great job at making two camera shy people feel comfortable.

Once the day finished we were kept up to date from Racheal about when to expect our videos and they arrived precisely when we were told, which was great.

The videos were edited together in a lovely way. It was great to receive the longer videos of the service and speeches, which we could watch as a couple and with immediate family, but to also receive a shorter video which was easier to show off to friends and family.

We can happily recommend Songbird to any future couples and we are very happy with all the work they done for us.

We cannot thank and recommend Songbird Wedding Videos enough! They captured our day perfectly, the videographer was so professional and we didn’t even realise he was there. He made us feel at ease behind the camera and captured the most perfect shots. We have received so many compliments on the video, it’s beautiful and so natural. If you are looking for a Wedding Videographer then - Songbirds Wedding Videos is a must! Thank you again x
