Cinematic wedding videography
Your wedding story, told as a cinematic wedding film
What is a cinematic wedding video | Cinematic wedding video price | My approach to cinematic wedding filmmaking
Cinema drives my shooting and editing style. My view is that all stories deserve to be told, and my style is perfect for couples looking for an emotional and artistic visual experience of their wedding day.
My approach as a cinematic wedding filmmaker
My approach to cinematic wedding filmmaking starts with you, and your story. I’m a visual story-teller, and my role is to deliver wedding films that are filled with love and emotions.
With each of my wedding films, I create an engaging narrative that is driven by the speeches given on the day. Whether it’s the father of the bride, the groom, or anyone from the wedding party, I’ll use them as voice over throughout the final edit. The high quality of my footage means that I deliver high resolution videos, just like you’d expect from a theatre movie.
My style suits any couple looking for a wedding videographer to capture their big day in the most natural and candid way, but with an artistic touch. I cover weddings in Cheshire, Greater Manchester, and destination weddings, and I document your day as if it was done through your eyes. When watching it back, I want you to feel like you’re there again, taken back to the same energy, the same emotions.
I deliver cinematic wedding highlights, and cinematic feature films, so you get both a short version that is packed with all the feels, and a longer one to remind you of every moment that you’ll never want to forget.
A cinematic experience of your wedding day
As a filmmaker, my style is all about story-telling, so I only ever deliver creative, artistic and emotional wedding films, that tell your story.
It always starts with you, but I’m also very aware that a wedding day is not a styled shoot. I put your relationship at the centre of your video, and my vision always aims to set the scene and ensure you remember your day, the venue, your guests, the small moments with your nearest and dearest. Those special relationships that you want to be able to look back on. Cinema has the ability to capture your imagination, and that’s why a cinematic wedding film is more powerful.
What is a cinematic wedding video?
This is a question I get asked a lot. Wedding videographers all have their approach, and who you choose to capture your big day will change the style of wedding video that you’ll receive.
A cinematic wedding film uses amazing quality footage, creative composition, carefully edited sound design, and engaging story-telling. When watching it back, your film will feel like it was made for cinema.
I’m an experienced cinematic wedding filmmaker. Whether you’re having a Cheshire wedding, a wedding in the North West or a destination wedding, my videography style suits any couple looking for creative, cinematic highlights of their wedding.

How much does a cinematic wedding video cost?
I don’t charge extra for cinematic wedding footage. That’s just my style, and that’s the way I edit my films. All of my wedding video packages deliver the exact same viewing experience, regardless of your wedding theme, or your wedding budget.
A big part of my cinematic style wedding films are aerial shots. Drone wedding videography is really popular, and something I use in every single one of my edits, at no extra.

What equipment do you use for cinematic wedding video?
I use professional, high-end camera and sound equipment, but I’m also very minimalist in what I carry throughout the day. I also use drone wedding videography to tell your story from high up in the sky.
On the day of the wedding, I’ll have two cameras with me, so that I can capture moments and interactions between people from different angles.
I use very small audio recorders to capture the sound: before the wedding ceremony, and before the speeches, I’ll likely mic up the groom, the registrar or priest, the father of the bride, and the best man giving the speech. This is so I can capture crisp sound for use in the final edit.
All of this is included in the price.
