Kind Words

AN INVESTMENT THAT DOES NOT BREAK THE BANK…

I am fully transparent and up front with my prices. There is no hidden extras and I do not have any “add-ons”.

My rates are realistic and will not make you need to remortgage the house!

FAQs

  • This is easy... YES! One of the biggest wedding regrets and funnily something I get told by other couples at weddings, is that they did not book a Videographer and they wished they had!

    Nowadays we watch more and more video content, whether it be on social media or binging on a good boxset, and having the ability to watch your wedding day back is a gift you will cherish forever.

  • Yes!

    I know a lot of Wedding Photographers and i have also worked with many, and to this day i have never had any issues. In fact some of my good friends now are Photographers I have met at previous weddings!

  • Yes. There is no way I can hide completely, however I do try my upmost to blend in. For the most part I candidly capture moments from a distance, however there will be times during the day where I will steal you away for a brief period to get a few beautiful shots of the two of you, but I will never pressure or intentionally interrupt your day.

  • Yes. All Photographers and Videographers will stage a few shots throughout the day. If they say they don't then they are telling porkies. My style is unobtrusive and natural, and for the most part I will leave you and your wedding party to enjoy your special day.

    However I might for example ask the best man to adjust the grooms tie to allow me to get 'the angle'... or I may ask the mother of the bride to 'pretend’ to do up your dress just so I can capture a little bit of magic. These moments do not happen often but they are soooo worthwhile!

  • YES!

    As long as the weather plays ball my girl will take flight around your venue!

  • This is a BIG YES!

    I love couples who have an idea of what they want to do. It helps to give me a brief of what you want as this allows me to get creative with your vision. On the big day as well you might fancy doing a shot, for example getting in a boat that you previously said you didn't want to do but now the wedding day excitement has kicked in and your do not want to miss the opportunity.

    In the end... It is your day! I am there to capture the memories! Never be afraid of asking for something, you will not get them moments back again so cherish every one of them.

  • You will receive a “teaser” of your big day within 48 hours of the wedding.

    I then aim to deliver all films and content within 12-16 weeks of your wedding. During busy season this might be longer but I will inform you in advance.

    Trust me though, it is worth the wait. The amount of couples who say they had forgotten so much of the day and watching the films back brings transports them back to the special day.

  • Unlike most Videographers, my answer to this is… YES!

    You have a choice of music. You can choose certain songs, which i will do my very best to include in your film. Or i can source some incredible music myself.

    I pay for music from the best Licensed Music site available called MusicBed.

    MusicBed is dedicated to providing the highest quality music to suit all kinds of video production needs. My commercial license allows me to use this music Royalty Free, meaning i can supply your film with the best quality audio with no copyright issues.

  • YES!

    You can contact me at any time…. well, maybe not at 3am!! But you can ring, text or email me as much as you want.

    I am always happy to chat about your big day so never feel shy about giving me a call :)

  • Yes! 100%

    Full business, equipment, and liability insurance. If your venue wants proof this can be emailed over no problem.

  • "It was an absolute pleasure working with Steve. He was flexible, fun, and down to earth and captured film footage without being intrusive. Throughout the entire day and evening he seamlessly fitted in with all our friends and family. He was very friendly, laid back and super accommodating"
