About

I'm Jon, a wedding content creator and videographer based in Poole, Dorset.

I've spent more than twenty years on tour with bands, from sweaty club shows to festival headline sets in front of 100,000 people. Live shows teach you that a moment only happens once, so you learn to read a room, be in the right place before it happens, and stay out of the way while it does. That's how I film weddings.

I work quietly, filming your day as it happens rather than directing it, and I keep an eye on the edges while you're busy with each other and your guests: the glance across the room, the in-laws meeting for the first time, the dance floor at its peak.

You'll get a live album of 40-60 social-ready clips and a highlights reel within 48 hours, so you can share your day while everyone's still talking about it.

Highhhhhly recommend!!

I would HIGHLY recommend Side Of The World!

We decided fairly close to our wedding that we wanted a videographer, which was stressful in itself as I was sure we wouldn’t be able to find anyone available at such short notice. Luckily for us, our wedding was during the winter months of wedding season and, fortunately, John had availability on our day.

From the very beginning, John made the whole planning process so easy and stress-free. He was professional and direct about the information he needed, while also listening to exactly what we wanted and making sure everything was tailored to us.

On the day itself, John was almost undetectable! We didn’t feel awkward or like we were constantly being filmed, as he was so subtle with what he was doing. He got on so well with everyone, and was polite, friendly and professional throughout.

Having a video of our wedding is genuinely the best decisions we made. Being able to relive all those special moments, including the little moments we didn’t even realise were happening on the day, is priceless.

I would recommend having a videographer to anyone getting married, but more importantly, I would absolutely recommend John and Side Of The World. You will never regret having those special memories captured on video!

Exceeded all expectations!

Could not fault the pre-wedding service, filming on the day, post wedding service or end product whatsoever. Jon blended into the background for most of the day capturing all of the important moments entirely discretely and never once did either of us feel like we were being filmed. At the end of the day Jon directed a few shots which we were super grateful for. We still watch our wedding video now. Fantastic production value and an all round great guy to have involved. Cannot recommend enough. 5/5, 10/10, 100/100.

Jon himself is such a lovely and talented guy aswell! And will make you feel special even more so on your day!

Can not recommend higher! Thank you Jon!!
