About

Hello there,

My names Steve and thank you for taking the time to view my Hitched page. I am very proud to say I am the Hitched Lancashire Videographer of the Year for 2023 & 2024!

You will find some examples of my work on this page. My calendar for 2024 is practically full, however i do have some availability for 2025. Please feel free to get in touch for more details and a bit of a chat!

A little about me...

I live in the beautiful village of Heysham in North West England, with my beautiful wife Hannah and our not so little 3 year old boy Ernie.

I have worked for over a decade in the Media & TV Industry and have been filming weddings now for over 3 years.

I graduated University with a 2:1 in Media Production & Technology and in the past have been fortunate enough to have filmed live sports including football and rugby, been behind the camera at music festivals and even filmed royalty at prestigious events.

Outside of work I love to play golf, hiking and spending time with my family and friends.

My style - Cinematic, fun and timeless

My films are all super personal to each and every couple.

I try my very hardest prior and during the big day itself to integrate myself as much as i can so i know exactly who and what to capture.

My films are story driven and edited chronologically, but by adding speech montages, flashbacks and various other editing techniques your film will be beautifully personal, cinematic, fun filled memory of your special day.

My approach - Minimalistic, natural and relaxed

I love capturing that little bit of magic behind the camera. Your wedding day is a wonderful journey from start to finish. They say blink and it's over, and this could not be more true.

Your day will fly by and you will want to cherish every moment without having to stop and start your day to allow a cameraman to film what's happening.

That's why I do my utmost to hide in plain sight, capturing special moments as naturally as possible. For the most part you will just see me and a camera. By keeping my setup minimal, I am able to capture memories that make your day special without being obtrusive or in the way.

Magic on film

Myself and my husband cannot thank Stephen enough for the magic he has managed to create. From the very beginning our interactions with stephen has been relaxed, professional and he kept in constant contact! On the day he kept in touch with us whilst organising everything. He even managed to get some drone shots. He made my partner feel super comfortable and eased his nerves. He interacted with our guests and worked seamlessly alongside our photographer. The end result of our wedding video is more than we could ever imagine. We are so happy to have the best day of our lives captured so beautifully on film.

This is the videographer you need to book!
Thank you a million,
Mark and Bella x

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Amazing - Professional - Talented - Friendly What more could you ask for ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Well im not even sure where to start I want to give Stephen whitehead videography the best review I can but I really don't think I can put into words how amazing he really was . I originally hadn't booked a videographer because family and friends where insisting having a photographer was enough but my God am I glad I didn't listen . My video from Stephen captures the day in a totally different way than still images and I cant tell you how disappointed I'd be now if I couldn't watch my amazing day back because with all the excitement I couldn't remember half of the stuff that went on (honestly walking down that aisle was a blurr) . It was so nice to see all the little bits the bride doesn't usually get to see like the guests arriving, my husband and groomsmen getting ready and most importantly my beautiful little boys walking down the aisle . After watching my videos everyone's in agreement it was one of the best investments I made for the wedding.
And where do I start on Stephen ,he was so helpful from the get go ,nothing was to much trouble he made me feel at ease and helped make the whole process super easy it just feels like youve known him forever. He just blended in to the whole wedding it felt like he was just part of the bridal party everyone loved him and I had so many comments about what a lovely guy he was . My husband was not looking forward to all the cameras on him but he said he felt super comfortable and Stephen put him at easy straight away .
Everything Stephen promised he delivered and more . He kept me upto date on time scales after the wedding and delivered everything in the time frames he'd given .
I would not hesitate to recommended Stephen Whitehead videography to any one and I feel so lucky that I found this amazing videographer to shoot at our wedding we will cherish our videos forever.
Thanks again

Steven Whitehead - Capturing Magic

From the very first interaction to the final delivery of our wedding film, Stevens professionalism, passion, and talent was unmatched to others in the industry.

Steven didn’t just capture moments—working alongside Richard our photographer, he captured emotions, love, and the pure joy felt on the day. Every smile and every laugh is preserved in stunning detail. Watching our video feels like stepping back into those precious moments, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Stevens creativity and dedication to his work is truly remarkable. The way he has been able to weave together the laughter, the music, and the heartfelt speeches is nothing short of magical.

If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to ensure your wedding memories are beautifully preserved, we couldn’t recommend Steven more highly. Thank you for giving us away to relive being surrounded by those we love for the years to come.

Perfectly captured memories of our day

Stephen was the videographer for our wedding at The Mill at Conder Green in August, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice! The feature film he created was absolutely perfect—it captured everything we wanted and more.

From the very start, Stephen made the whole process so easy. Our initial chat was relaxed and reassuring. He listened carefully to what we wanted, answered all of our questions with confidence, and explained exactly how the day would unfold. We felt completely at ease knowing everything was in his capable hands.

On the day, Stephen worked seamlessly alongside our photographer, Richard, capturing every important moment while blending in effortlessly. His attention to detail and professionalism were exceptional, and we particularly loved the time we spent with him in the evening taking sunset shots along the canal. It was such a fun and relaxed experience, and the memories he captured during those moments are now some of our most treasured.

Stephen’s communication throughout the process was excellent. We received our sneak peek quickly, and his online portal made it so simple to view, download, and share the videos. He kept us informed about his editing schedule, so we always knew when to expect our final film.

When we received the finished feature film, we were blown away. It was beautifully edited, perfectly capturing the emotions and vibe of the day. We couldn’t have asked for anything more, and we’re so grateful for everything Stephen did to make our memories so special.

Stephen is not only a talented videographer but also a genuine, kind, and approachable person. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a videographer. His work is incredible, and he made the whole experience so enjoyable.

Josh and Sophie ❤️

We adore our film

We were incredibly lucky to have Stephen as our wedding videographer at Wyresdale Park. We can't stop watching our highlight film and absolutely adore it! The drone shots are insane! We are also very thankful to have such high-quality coverage of our complete ceremony and speeches, with excellent audio quality. Stephen did the most incredible job at capturing our special day and all the love and beautiful people who celebrated with us. It's so fun to watch our film back and see everyone laughing and enjoying each other's company, as well as all of our loved up moments! On the day, Stephen was a dream - laid-back, knowledgeable, fun, and made us feel relaxed and never like we were performing for a camera. I was worried I might feel awkward in front of multiple cameras, and was therefore unsure whether to add video into the mix, but I can honestly say I wasn't even aware of the cameras during our ceremony and most of the day. Stephen's film will bring us so much joy for decades to come and we can't say thank you enough for this.

Thank you Stephen, you’re the best!

For anybody looking for videographer, we cannot recommend Stephen Whitehead enough! Truth be told, during our wedding planning phase, we weren’t sure if we actually wanted a videographer as we thought wedding photos alone would be enough. However, we were afraid we’d come to regret it and my goodness I’m so glad we did because having Stephen there was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

He is honestly the most professional, attentive and friendly guy you’ll ever meet. He will go above and beyond to make sure he captures the day beautifully as well as making you feel comfortable at the same time. Good communication with your wedding suppliers is key and Stephen is always so quick to respond to any queries. Although we hadn’t met each other in person prior to the wedding, we’d often message each other via social media and built such a lovely rapport that it meant we felt so at ease during our supplier meeting and on the big day. Him and my photographer worked together so seamlessly and kept us calm throughout the day. He was so creative with his filming, we trusted his artistic direction which led to some of our favourite shots.

In just a couple of days after the wedding, we received our sneak peek video and honestly, we were over the moon with how it turned out that we’d just been happy with that alone! It made us so excited for our feature film and we were right to be because it was everything we could have wished for. Watching it was like reliving the best day of our lives again, plus there were so many snippets of friends & family that we would’ve missed otherwise. He was also able to capture all the intricate details that we spent so many hours planning.

I don’t think we’ll ever get tired of watching these videos, we love them so much! If you’re looking to book a videographer, Stephen’s your guy!!

We can’t thank you enough!

We got married in July this year and booking Stephen as our videographer was one of the best decisions we made.

Before the wedding, we had a call with Stephen to go over the details of the day, and his passion really shone through. He went into so much detail that we both knew exactly what to expect. We could have talked to him for hours, he’s just a really nice, down-to-earth guy who’s super chatty. We knew from that moment we’d made the right choice.

We sent Stephen an extensive itinerary for the day, and he took the time to go over everything in detail. On the day, he made suggestions and prompted us throughout to ensure we didn’t miss any important moments. Without him, so many of those moments could have been missed. He has an amazing eye for creative shots, finding angles and moments we hadn’t even thought about, which added a personal, artistic feel. He worked really well with all our other suppliers but wasn’t afraid to take charge when needed to get the perfect shot.
You spend a lot of time with your suppliers on the wedding day, but having Stephen there felt like having a friend by our side. We shared so many funny moments and memories with him that will last forever.

From the preview to the final feature film, Stephen captured everything perfectly. The wedding day felt like a blur, but we’ve been able to relive it through the beautiful film he created. Both the preview and feature film surpassed our expectations, and we’re so happy with the memories we now have to cherish forever.

Stephen was not only friendly but also incredibly professional. He was always punctual, organized, and worked tirelessly to make sure everything went smoothly. Even after the wedding, Stephen was great to work with, he kept us updated on the editing process and ensured we were happy with the final product.

Stephen, you are amazing, and your passion for videography truly shows. We can’t thank you enough!

The best of the best!

From start to finish, Stephen was AMAZING! On the day, he was so friendly and put us at ease straight away. He blended in so well with all of our guests and we barely knew he was there, even though he was capturing every detail! He was a true professional and showed his natural talent for capturing and editing our special day.
The feature film blew us away with how perfect it was and how much it made us smile. We felt like we were reliving the day and for that, we can’t thank Stephen enough. We would highly recommend him to anyone - you won’t regret it!
Thank you again Stephen for your wonderful work ☺️

Fantastic experience and would 100% recommend!

We booked Stephen as our videographer for our wedding back in April 2024 – he has been absolutely fantastic!

Stephen was brilliant from start to finish. From the moment we booked him, he came across extremely personable, down to earth and eager to answer any queries we had. Prior to the wedding, we had spoken a couple of times via phone/email/video meeting, and we had interacted on Instagram to the point where we felt like we almost knew Stephen before the big day.

Stephen was great on the day itself. Particularly for me in the morning, Stephen’s presence was very calming, he made me laugh, he didn’t get in the way or impose, it all felt very natural, and I’ve since had lots of compliments about Stephen since as he was brilliant with our guests – personable but professional.

The work he has produced is absolutely fantastic and has brought me to tears every time I’ve watched our videos! He was able to provide a ‘sneak peak’ within 2 days of the wedding which was around 1 minute long and gave us a little teaser of what was to come! He also uploaded a video of our ceremony and speeches to our page (which he sends you a link to), which was amazing to watch.

Since the ‘sneak peak’, Stephen has also produced a trailer and then our main video. The main video is around 18 minutes long and captures the whole day – it’s my absolute favourite! I can’t stop watching all of the videos but the main video is so special. He is extremely talented at what he does, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to future couples!

Even after the wedding, Stephen kept us updated about timescales. As we had the ‘sneak peak’ we didn’t want Stephen to rush producing the trailer or main video and the fact he kept us updated meant we didn’t worry about how long it might take. The main video was delivered to us around 10 weeks after the wedding which felt like perfect timing as you get so many memories flooding back when you watch it!

Thank you Stephen – we are so happy we booked you ❤

NB. We booked Stephen alongside 'This Is Richard' as our photographer. Both Stephen and Richard work together and offer a photo/video package which is perfect when you’re looking to book suppliers – they already know each other and work together so it’s very reassuring!

The absolute best videographer!

Steve, where do I begin! Before, during & after our wedding you have provided 5* service at all times. I found Steve through Instagram when our wedding venue (Wyresdale Park) shared one of his reels, as soon as I saw it I said “omg we have to book him!”, I absolutely loved Steve’s videography style & I hadn’t even seen his full Instagram page yet. When I enquired with Steve he responded really quickly, we had a great chat via our emails & I felt really confident in my decision to go ahead with Steve filming our wedding day.
We could rave about Steve all day tbh, he is the most friendly guy ever with such incredible talent & we are so grateful he was able to capture our special day for us, we will cherish the videos forever! Thank you so much Steve!

Absolutely amazing, cannot fault anything!

Stephen is the friendliest, most caring and professional videographer that I could have asked for at my wedding. He is open and honest which helps so much in the build up to the wedding and the pre-wedding catch up helps to provide a clear insight into how the day will run. On the morning he arrived, Stephen instantly put us at ease and was so helpful with making sure that we were comfortable and happy throughout the day. He also worked SO well with This is Richard Photography, who offer a joint package for photography and videography and is absolutely amazing value for money for such high quality people in their craft. I absolutely love the sneak peek footage he has sent us so far and cannot recommend Stephen Whitehead Films highly enough. Thank you so much!

Highly recommend!!

I would recommend Stephen Whitehead films to anyone wanting a videographer for their wedding!
From our first phone call Steve was reassuring, friendly and able to answer any query we had for our day! After booking, Steve regularly checked in with us and we were able to contact him at any point up to the big day. In the week leading up to the wedding we had a phone call to discuss the timeline for the day, Steve never forgot points I had discussed with him on previous calls. It was lovely to know he cared about our day as much as we did!

On the day Steve had the biggest smile on his face and was excited about getting all the best shots. He adapted to the ceremony being outside when the weather changed and ensured he got the best drone shots. I think the quality of the video speaks for itself but it is absolutely amazing and better than we could have wished for!!
We cannot recommend him enough, thank you so much Steve!!

Thank you!

From the very first call to the final edit, Stephen has been amazing throughout, it has been an honour for him to film our day and wouldn’t change it for the world. He has been professional, kind and you didn’t even notice he was there but managed to capture the most beautiful moments. A treasured memory thanks to Stephen.

A legend of the game

Stephen videographed our wedding last weekend and oh my goodness, he was fantastic. On the day he felt somewhat like more of a supportive friend than a videographer. He made myself and my family and friends feel at ease so the footage he got was very natural and genuine. It never felt like we were 'on camera', we just went about our day having the best time ever! We've seen some sneak peeks which are just breathtaking. I genuinely can't thank Steve enough for all of his hard work in the build up to the wedding, on the day and also now as he works to put our film together. I can't recommend enough.

Absolute wedding film genius!

Stephen captured our day perfectly and totally understood our vibe. Stephen touched base with us at every step with our wedding planning and went above and beyond on our wedding day. The content is modern, original and the attention to detail on our film is incredible. I also want to mention Stephen is honestly the nicest guy to have around on your wedding day. Thank you Stephen for being a part of our big day.
