About

Hello, I'm Ben! (Aka Saffron8 Videography) I am a videographer that makes uniquely cinematic wedding films to memorialise your special day, without stealing you away from your own wedding.

My Approach

I believe your wedding day is best spent with your guests, and most importantly, your partner. I respect the importance of your wedding day and how finite your time is. I film you, and your guests, without intruding on the day's activities. Like a fly on the wall, I am there to capture the wonderful moments that occur; the candid smiles, the tears of joy and the silly dancing.

I utilise the time you have with your photographer, shooting those special moments you have with your partner, away from the chaos of the day. This means I get to have time filming you, without having a video specific shoot.

What makes me different?

I am film-school trained. When I'm not shooting weddings I make music videos, short films, commercial content and more. My video skills are thorough and diverse meaning I know how to make truly cinematic footage through shooting, editing and colour grading.

​Others may create videos that are more akin to documentries or a reality shows. However, the videos I create for you are films. They consist of beautiful, bite-sized moments that come together to form a living, breathing memory of your special day.

Get in touch!

I am happy to answer any questions you have. I understand the overwhelming expeince of getting married (I'm a newly wed!) Please email me, message me, or lets arrange a call.

Super engaging and persobale style with top class output

Ben shot our wedding video a few weeks ago and was fantastic. He was clear and open about his style and approach in advance of the wedding, was well on top of logistics on the day leaving nothing for us to worry about, and was super engaging throughout with kids and adults alike which yielded some fantastic results. His videos we top quality and exactly what we wanted and it was so nice to have the short and long versions as well as a full length for all speachs and some stills too. He worked hand in glove with our photographer as what felt like a single team. And he also used our music tastes and choices perfectly in the final versions. Perhaps the biggest endorsment of all of this was that my wife sobbed with joy throughout the first watching of ithe videos as the made her feel like she was reliving the day.

Incredible videographer who captured the magic of the day

Ben was incredible and recorded us the MOST perfect wedding video that we will treasure forever. The video captured all the moments from big to small and is a perfect reflection of our favourite day. Ben was so professional and on the day you didn't really notice him, he just fitted in with the guests and the results are better than we ever could have imagined. THANK YOU BEN!

The Best Videographer!

Ben was absolutely amazing and just what we wanted for our wedding day. He was so professional and kind, and slotted in so well with our wedding party! It genuinely felt like he was one of our friends, he laughed along with us and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better.

I am BLOWN AWAY by the videos. They are spectacular. The level of detail is amazing and I honestly couldn’t be happier that Ben recoded our wedding day.
It is exactly what I wanted and the videos are simply stunning. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone as their videographer! He even provided stills from the videos of special moments which was a lovely touch.

Beautiful film & fantastic Videographer!

My partner and I couldn't be happier with our wedding film!
Ben captured our mirco wedding in the most authentic, beautiful way. From the raw emotion to all the silly bits – he's made it feel like the perfect encapsulation of us as a couple and the ones we love.

Not only are we overjoyed with the outcome but working with Ben was an absolute pleasure! He was fantastic, flexible and fun during our planning meetings and managed to turn my ramblings into real life.

On the day, he was professional and friendly, working seamlessly with our photographer and fitting in with our guests (my girl group have even dubbed him an honorary member).
We are so thrilled with the film and couldn't recommend Ben enough!

Amazing video quality, professional & friendly service.

Ben jumped straight onto a zoom call to talk through our day, before we had even booked. He was always professional yet very friendly and we had a great time with him on the day. He did exactly what we wanted and the videos look fantastic - we couldn’t be more pleased with them!

Fantastic!

The quality of service and the product that Ben provided was excellent! I am very much delighted with our wedding video. It’s been more than a month, but watching the video refreshes the memories of our special day! Was quite hesitant to get a videographer at first, but then I was recommended to get one. Sure enough, it was worth it!
Thanks Ben!
