Hi, I'm John 👋

My style of filming is very laid back and discreet. But I do love to have a giggle with you so you are relaxed. Sometimes, to get the perfect shot I need to blend in with your guests.
I am a perfectionist, I have been since I was a kid. I have taken this trait through my life with everything that I have done. Just ask my wife! I'd love to hear more about your story, and how your plans are going. If you'd like to have a chat, feel free to get in touch. I want to make your wedding film the most beautiful, meaningful film you'll ever see.

Personable and professional
“Personable and professional, John is truly a gem of a human being and a fantastic videographer to boot. He has a calming demeanour and carries out his work in a relaxed, humorous manner, which really helps to settle any big day nerves! We were determined to have a wedding video that was entirely natural and captured us, as well as our guests, just enjoying the day. We can quite safely say that John absolutely nailed the brief.

Calming, comedic, creative
Calming, comedic, creative - John was the complete package and the videographer you need! We met John at a Love Actually wedding fayre and instantly knew we wanted him to video our big day. He was so enthusiastic talking about what he does and his footage looked incredible. We had many conversations with John in the lead up to our wedding. It was easy to contact him and always a quick response. We felt like he knew exactly the sort of feel we wanted for our day and the special moments we wanted.

AMAZING!
John was amazing during our special day. He made every effort to come and see me & helped put my nerves at ease. He supported my new husband and guided him through our ceremony. We honestly cannot thank him enough for all that he has done for us on our special day! Would definitely recommend to everyone! Thanks again! Lots of love Mr & Mrs Johnson xx

John, where do we start
John, where do we start. From the get go you have been amazing! You made us feel so relaxed when filming we cannot thank you enough. We were able to have a laugh with you which means a lot. You even rescued my sister and helped her get the zip up on her dress. We cannot wait to see our video, we know it’s going to be out of this world. Thank you so much for making our day so special! I will always remember this day! The newly weds, Jodie and Lewis x

The BEST!
Couldn't recommend Samantha, Jeremy and John enough. We met John back in 2018 pre-covid and despite having to rearrange multiple times, we had zero issues. We then did the pre wedding shoot with Samantha which was great for helping us get comfortable with the camera. On the day these guys were great & really helped make the day so special for us. We opted for the photography, videography and photobooth package, which I'd definitely recommend as it really allows you to relive the day (which goes too fast!)
