I focus on moments that matter, like the dress reveal that hits your family hard or the first kiss that shifts the whole room. I stay ready for the things that don’t follow the script, because those moments show who you are. These details hold the truth of your day and give your film real weight.

In 2026 I was awarded North East and Yorkshire Wedding Videographer of the Year at The Wedding Industry Awards. Couples I had filmed nominated me, which made the recognition mean more. The awards are judged by experienced professionals who understand the craft, the pressure, and the standard required. Their decision confirmed that my approach delivers consistent quality and honest storytelling. This recognition pushed me to raise my game even further. It also reinforced why I focus on strong moments, clean sound, and steady direction. Each couple’s trust led to this award, and it drives how I film every wedding.

Capturing the core of your unique day in the most magical and unforgettable manner is my passion as a wedding videographer. Using the newest camera gear—drones for aerial footage and gimbals for that seamless, cinematic feel—allows me to produce a wedding movie you will treasure always. From the excitement of bridal preparation to the emotional ceremony and the happy celebrations that follow, videography’s beauty is in its capacity to tell a story—your story—through a sequence of well caught events.
Using slow motion lets us emphasise those brief but very important events, giving your wedding film more depth and emotional weight. These events are spun together in video editing and post-production to create a story that really captures the core of your daily life. Crucially important for the narrative, the speeches are meticulously documented to guarantee every sincere word is caught.
Setting the tone of your movie, improving the visual attractiveness, and vibrantly and warmly bringing your wedding day memories to life depend on colour grading. Including drone footage provides a different viewpoint that highlights the location and surrounds in breathtaking aerial views, so giving your wedding video an amazing depth.
My philosophy regarding wedding videography is all about allowing you fully enjoy your day. Working subtly helps me to catch the natural, unscripted events, thereby expressing the real feeling and distinctive ambiance of your celebration. My aim is to make a cinematic wedding video that not only records the day but also offers a gripping narrative, your love story, with all its laughter, tears, and joy.
Please contact me to go over your plans and verify my availability. Whether your goal is for a small-scale get-together or a big celebration, I am here to creatively and carefully record every moment. Together, let’s design something lovely, a timeless keepsake you’ll be looking back on for years to come. And if you are organising your day at the magnificent Jesmond Dene House, I would be happy to travel with you and capture the magic of your wedding in this famous location.
