As a Manchester Wedding Videographer I believe I have the best job in the world – being able to capture utter joy and love all day!
Film making is my passion and in the last 10 years I have fallen in love with so many special weddings. Every wedding is different and every wedding gives me goose bumps, tears in my eyes and fits of giggles! So you can see how much I love being a Wedding Videographer!
I have been creating films since I was 15 – over 25 years ago! I am a very sentimental person and understand just how important a lasting memory can be.
I believe strongly in connecting with every couple. This is why I meet everyone in person for a brew before their wedding day. Therefore I can get to know you better and portray your personality in your wedding film.
So the first thing I will ask you is why do you want a wedding video? It’s super important to me to find out what matters most to you about your wedding day and film. It is here that we can discuss music and styling over a brew and some cake.
As well as being a UK based Manchester Wedding Videographer covering Cheshire, Yorkshire, Lancashire, North Wales, Derbyshire and beyond I also offer destination wedding videos. Recently I have been providing wedding videography in Ibiza, France, Ireland and Sydney to name but a few.
I won't ask you to climb balconies
I won’t ask you to climb balconies and replicate Romeo and Juliet nor do I ask you to repeatedly kiss all day as you’re probably doing that anyway. Simply, I just want you to have fun. Who wants to feel camera aware on your wedding day? You don’t, do you! Therefore, if I can sense that you are then I move away and film something else. Generally by the end of the day you will have forgotten you ever hired a wedding videographer!
You won't notice me
I will capture your speeches whilst sat with the guests so you don’t notice me. I do this by setting up static cameras and using the one attached to me for those classic guest reactions. Nobody needs a camera person blocking their view or for you to feel like you’re being interviewed for the news lol.
I have a natural rapport with guests
I pride myself on my natural rapport with people. Therefore I will talk to anyone at a wedding and before you know it I look just like another guest but with a fancy camera!
Why not have the best day of your life on film forever?
As a Manchester Wedding Videographer I see more of your wedding than anyone else there. Makes sense eh? I can capture all or part of your day, you decide. I can provide you with everything from the day including a 25 minute feature film, speeches and ceremony in full, and a highlights music video. Nothing goes unnoticed and I can edit and capture exactly what you want. In doing so I pride myself on creating wedding films that are different to the norm. I find that couples are usually thrilled and shocked at seeing so much more of their wedding day after watching their film!
I know how to make an emotive, engaging and memorable film of your day
I spent 5 years lecturing in Media Production so I can assure you I know how to make an emotive, engaging and memorable film of your day. I also write and compose piano music for film too, so choosing the right music that represents you as a couple is key in conveying those special memories and feelings from the day.
I don't create generic wedding films
I don’t claim to be a cinematic Manchester Wedding Videographer and I don’t shoot everything in slow motion. When filming I use a mixture of filming techniques that suit the pace of your day. Understanding you as a couple, the theme of the day and what sort of feel you want all helps me create the perfect wedding film. Creating generic wedding videos is not what I do. Therefore each wedding film follows a different pace depending on what happens in the day. Above all I would say that couples that find me as a Manchester Wedding Videographer tend to enjoy the upbeat fun feel to my films.
I will never take you away from your guests for more than 15 minutes
“When the guests have gone home and the cake has been eaten what is left of your wedding day….memories?” Exactly!! The best way to preserve this is by having it captured on film. Your Wedding Day goes so fast! and it’s important to enjoy every moment and be how you want to be. Therefore as a Manchester Wedding Videographer I will never take you away from your guests for more than 15 minutes. I am literally on high alert all day looking to capture those special moments on film and especially those moments you don’t see.
