Wedding Films
Cinematic wedding films tailored to you
Welcome!
Hi, I’m Jack, a wedding videographer based in the rolling hills of West Yorkshire. I deliver bespoke wedding films to couples across the UK.
With a passion for videography for over 15 years I am dedicated to delivering films that are of the highest cinematic quality and individually customised to you and your wedding day.
“Jack is absolutely fantastic and our films are out of this world!”

My films blend beautiful cinematic compositions with a mostly chronological narrative that captures the natural unfolding of your wedding day. Music is carefully chosen and edited to provide the perfect backdrop and spoken words are constructed to tell your unique stories.
I understand that the films are not mine but are yours. Your souvenir of one of the most momentous days of your lives. They should be timeless; forever loved by you, your family, and friends.

My efforts go far beyond creating a beautiful highlight film; I offer a variety of other films, all made with the same attention to detail and high standards that define my work
I've had the privilege of creating films for a diverse range of individuals. I’ve collaborated with both the camera-shy and the camera-confident. Some of my couples have openly embraced romance, while many have been more discreet in displaying their connection. My aim is for you to be comfortable and feel confident in showing your true selves. My films aspire to go beyond just documenting the wedding day; they celebrate your relationship and aim to encapsulate your distinctive personalities.
- CORE VALUES -
Going the extra mile
It is my mission to make incredible films and I don't settle for anything less – I’m all about going that extra mile. I get to know you to understand what is important to you I’m more than happy to assist with your wedding plans where possible. I’m with you for the whole day, making sure every shot tells your story. The editing process is thorough with every single one of your films getting the VIP treatment with equal dedication and attention to detail.
A personal connection
Your choice in videographer is extremely important. Not only are you entrusting them to capture your important memories, but you are also inviting them in to one of the most special events in your lives. The strong connection I establish with my couples not only helps me portray their unique bond in my films but helps them to feel completely comfortable with my presence on the day. I actively encourage communication; I want to hear about your wedding plans and your hopes for your films.
A respectful approach
The best wedding films come from capturing genuine candid moments that really show off the fun of the day. You and your guests should feel relaxed and free to enjoy yourselves without the obvious pressure of being filmed. I’m actually quite camera-shy myself so I completely understand the importance of a non-intrusive approach. I film from a distance where possible and avoid distracting movements. Although my filming style may be discreet, I love interacting with people and celebrating with you.
A worthwhile investment
Your wedding films are an investment for the rest of your lives. As a wedding videographer, I am truly dedicated to my craft, investing in my equipment, skills and services and pouring that value into my couples and their films. I film a very limited number of weddings each year to ensure I can give every single one of my couples and their films the attention they deserve. No single film is prioritised over another, and countless hours are poured into creating your perfect film gallery that you will cherish forever.
