Last update: April 2025

👋 Hello, I'm Adam! I'm an animal lover and a feminist, I volunteer at a breakfast centre for the homeless, and I'm nice to waiters. I'm also the Creative Director of Special Day Films, where we specialise in a blend of cinematic and candid event videography. I've been making wedding videos for quite a while now and it's like telling the story of one of the most important days in somebody's life, so as much as I’d like to be a cynic about it, I love it.

We're based in York, North Yorkshire and we've been lucky to film weddings up and down the country - in actual castles and village halls and everything in between. Regardless of the setting or the budget, what we always love is seeing the couple's personalities woven into their big day. Sometimes it's stuff like in-jokes for the table names or unconventional music choices. But it's also those unplanned moments, like the bride getting locked in the wedding car (this actually happened!), or a grandparent's first ever Jagerbomb. These are the things we'll be looking out for when we're making the film of your special day.

People often tell us that they forgot we were there on the day (not usually a compliment!) so you don't need to worry about us getting in the way, and it means a lot to us that so many of our bookings come through word of mouth - it's always nice to catch up with a familiar face! We take pride in being down-to-earth and approachable, so if you have any questions at all, please get in touch.

Services Offered

We take great pride in our work, and our pricing reflects the time and attention we invest in every project (we want to be the best wedding videographer in Yorkshire AND the best value!).
We have two flexible video packages you can use as a starting point. From there, you have the freedom to add, change, or remove elements entirely to create a bespoke video package that suits your preferences and budget perfectly.

So if you're at the early stages and looking for wedding inspiration or deep in it and putting the final touches to the master plan, let's chat!

Please note, here at Special Day Films, we are committed to supporting equality, diversity and inclusion. We fundamentally believe that everyone should be able to marry the person they love, and we would be proud to help you celebrate this special day. We cater to all faiths and we use "wedding" as shorthand to cover civil ceremonies, Nikkah, handfasting, tying the knot, vow renewals or any other kind of unity ceremony! We wholeheartedly welcome enquiries from the LGBTQIA+ community and support marriage equality just as we support equality elsewhere.
