Highly Recommended

Joseph filmed our wedding and from the very first time that we spoke, we felt totally confident that he was the right person for the job. He asked us exactly what we wanted and listened (very important)!
On the day Joseph was polite, funny, considerate, unobtrusive and professional.
We think our video was so special because Joseph let us all just be ourselves and he caught some wonderful, natural footage because it was easy to forget that we were being filmed.
The result is a video that we will treasure, and Joseph captured everything that we asked for, and much more.
We will recommend Joseph to anyone who asks, and he will be the first person we will contact should we ever need a videographer in the future.

Joseph is brilliant

Joseph is brilliant! I have no hesitation recommending him at all. He’s kind, professional, calming - everything a bride needs on her big day.
I got married yesterday at Oak’s Farm and Joseph helped to put everyone at ease all day. I was in awe of how he was with all our guests!
I’ve just watched our teaser trailer and the quality and presentation is faultless! Absolutely amazing and I’d have no hesitation hiring Joseph again if we had a special event!
Thank you so much Joseph for being wing man as well as camera man at times!!
We had an amazing day all helped by you!

I am so glad we asked Joseph to film our wedding. Not only is he very competitively priced, he is efficient, brilliant and so easy to get on with. He responded promptly to every email about any queries, suggestions or concerns that we had about the day beforehand. On the wedding day itself, Joseph got on well with a photographer he had never met before and to be honest, I barely even noticed him! He sent us a movie trailer the very next day which was stunning and yesterday, only four weeks later, we received our beautifully packaged memory stick! He has edited it perfectly and captured all those magical moments that we remembered as well as so many more that we had either forgotten or hadn't seen. We watched it twice last night back to back while we laughed, cried and reminisced.
Thank you so much Joseph for all your hard work before, during and after. You helped to make our day so special.

Joseph is amazing - from when we first met him at a wedding fair, to the big day itself he was professional and so helpful throughout!
The day itself, he was brilliant, his equipment doesn’t take up any room at all, and he wasn’t intrusive, and that’s exactly what we wanted!
We were so amazed the day after the wedding when he sent us the teaser video!! It was so lovely to see the little moments that you forget overnight! Or the bits you don’t actually see at all! It exceeded our expectations and is just so beautiful!!
Thank you so much Joseph, We just cannot wait to see the full video x

Joseph did an amazing job with our wedding video. He fit in to our day so seamlessly and manage to capture so many special moments. Joseph was really quick to turnaround a video teaser a couple of days after the wedding which was lovely to share with our family and friends until the longer version arrived. Neither of us are comfortable in front of the camera but we didn’t feel self conscious at all on the day and the end product is great, with plenty of candid moments. Joseph was very easygoing and friendly on our wedding day and worked really well with our photographer. Lots of our guests commented on what a lovely guy he is. We would definitely recommend Swansong Productions to anyone in need of a videographer.

Joe is fantastic, me and my husband love our video! He made it easy from the time I enquired about availability to the time we got video which was presented beautifully. Joe was so helpful and friendly and didn’t make us feel self conscious or over crowded on the wedding day, and now we have a perfect video to look back on over the years to come, he captured everything from the emotions and buzz of the day to all of the little details we had worked so hard on and can now proudly show off. Thank you so much Joe!

Our wedding video is superb. From the start, Joseph was great at establishing what we wanted to capture on our special day and what was important for us to be included. From the church service, to the speeches and piñata, Joseph caught it all and we didn’t even know he was there. What was best was that captured the atmosphere and epic dance floor moves which I know we will enjoy for the years to come. Plus, our video came in a beautiful presentation box which was such a joy to receive. Thanks so much Joseph!
