Full Description
Hello there! I'm Amber, a vegan and eco-conscious wedding and event videographer based in West Sussex. Nothing makes me happier than presenting couples with a beautiful keepsake of their day, to cherish and relive forever.
Style:
I am a romantic at heart, so I love creating slow, cinematic and emotional films that capture the magical essence of any wedding story (even for couples who swore they weren't romantic!) I also believe in the importance of the film reflecting your personalities, so if you feel this style isn't for you and you have something else in mind, I'll shoot and edit in a different way for you - upbeat and energetic for example!
Customisable options include:
- How much of your day is filmed
- 1 or 2 videographers
- Length of final film(s)
- Style of final film(s)
Engagement films:
Are you looking for a unique save the date that shows your romantic or fun side? Do you have a special engagement story to tell or simply want some extra beautiful shots of you both together? Then why not book an engagement film as an add-on to your package!
It'll be one fun, relaxed and light-hearted shoot - I'll provide small directions here and there, but will mainly capture you in a natural way - enjoying your company together! All shoots will include a short interview to help tell your engagement story. You will receive 5 beautiful photos as well. (If you've not popped the question yet, I can film your actual proposal too!)
Now, I've told you about me, it's time for you to tell me about you and your big day! It would be great to hear about your plans and about the type of video you have in mind. We can discuss the options and then I will provide you with your quote. As a guide, my packages generally range from £500 - £1150.

She made us feel at ease
Amber was absolutely incredible in the run up to our wedding and throughout the day. She made us feel at ease and was professional start to finish. I would highly recommend.

"What makes Amber special is how much she cares"
Amber is absolutely amazing and we would not hesitate in recommending her - we are over the moon with our wedding video!
From the first time we spoke with Amber she was approachable, warm and friendly and put us at ease. She spoke at length with us about what we wanted from the video and even visited the venue in advance to prepare. On the day she was professional but warm, it felt like an incredibly talented family friend was videoing us.
What makes Amber so special is how much she cares. A week or so after the wedding she even sent a few screenshots of the video - this was amazing and quite frankly above and beyond! Anyone who's been married will empathise with the wait for the photos and video, so this was incredibly thoughtful!
Thank you Amber.

"A beautiful moving portrait of our day"
We've just finished watching it and the blubbing still continues! You, my lady, have given us the most perfect wedding video ever and we will always be indebted to you for capturing such a beautiful moving portrait of our day. You filmed some amazing shots, and the way you've woven everything together is just beyond incredible!

FAQ
(10)
What is your most memorable wedding?
Filming Chris Butland-Steed from Channel 4's Gogglebox at the Grand Hotel in Brighton as he married the man he loves, Tony. It was the most diva-themed wedding I've ever been to and I loved every second!
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Cinematic, fairy-tale, romantic, creative, thoughtful
What about your business are you most proud of?
Following my dream of being a freelance videographer straight out of graduation and having continuous videography work ever since.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
I would say research and recommendations is really important. Look at wedding photos/videos online and find out what style you would like for yours, and if you know the couples in the photos/videos you're looking at, ask which suppliers they used.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
The groom was Bulgarian, so all of the readings were read in English, as well as Bulgarian. And also, during the speeches, the best man and the father of the bride (both English) attempted parts of their speech in Bulgarian - and the table with the groom's Bulgarian friends and family on loved it!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I discuss my wedding video style with a couple in more detail via email, a phone call or Skype, to ensure that I will provide them with what they are looking for. Once our booking is confirmed, I will arrange to meet the couple at their wedding venue. I will look around the venue and let them know where I plan to place myself during the ceremony and speeches, and check that they are happy with that. I will also request for the photographer to join this meeting too, so that we can all arrange with each other where we will be standing for the important moments. If they can not attend I will have a Skype call or face-to-face meeting with them separately. I will keep in touch via email with any further questions or comments that I have regarding the couple's wedding day. On the day, I will arrive and introduce myself to the wedding party and groomsmen and then continue to film the rest of the day's events.
What is the most exciting thing you have caught on camera?
Something that meant so much to a groom, that I didn't even realise I had captured, and I was so happy that I had the footage and could include it in his wedding film. It was of him and his disabled mother dancing on the dance floor together with his Dad. (This reception had 600 guests on the dancefloor, which is why I hadn't realised this moment was captured).
What is the one film you wish you had directed and why?
If we are talking about Hollywood films, then off the top of my head, I would say Titanic, because it's the most epic love story I've ever watched on screen.
What is your favourite soundtrack to put to a wedding video?
For one video I did, I used an instrumental track from Lord of the Rings (Into the West) and it worked so so beautifully in all of the opening shots of the film.
Describe how you got into videography.
At school I found I loved directing people in my drama classes, and this progressed to directing on film at college in my Media classes, where I fell in love with the art of editing. Then I took a degree in Film Production and my love for creating films continued.
