Wedding videography. With an edge.
Over the years, I have delivered award-winning documentary wedding videography packages from the Shetland Isles to Essex, and everywhere in between.
Working across the UK and beyond, I pride myself in delivering professional, documentary packages for couples looking for a relaxed, artistic shoot. As a filmmaker, I know that each shoot requires a fine level of planning and attention, which is why I work to a set number of commissions every year.
With multiple packages on offer, I use only the best equipment available, including cinema cameras capable of filming in stunning 6K quality and a range of drones to add that something extra special. To give your film that vintage look, I also shoot on both 8mm and 16mm film cameras.
Wedding videography
Whether you’re after a professionally-shot highlight film or a selection of 30 second trailers, if you’re looking for a wedding or elopement videographer, look no further.
My videography packages are tailor-made around your big day, ensuring you get a final edit that you and your loved ones can treasure forever.
I am also fully licensed and insured to include drone videography on your big day, and are well versed in capturing audio throughout the speeches and ceremony to use in the final edit. Check out some examples of my work below.
“Words can’t begin to describe the truly fantastic experience of having Alex capture our wedding.

Live streaming
If for whatever reason you have friends or relatives that can’t attend your wedding, my live streaming service provides a great solution. Enabling guests to enjoy the ceremony and speeches in full HD, streaming works by broadcasting a live video feed over the internet.
Each feed will be password protected to ensure only those with the appropriate login details can join, while live commenting enables those watching to interact with you and your guests in real time.

“Alex captured our wedding in September with his amazing Videography skills. It was the best money ever spent, and we are absolutely over the moon with the footage, especially from the drone.
We can’t recommend him enough, a great guy, fantastic videographer and worth every single penny!”
Documentary Wedding videography
Allowing couples to present their story in a little more detail, my ‘Documentary Wedding’ package includes tons of fun stuff, including a mini engagement shoot - used to capture a full interview with the bride and groom - as well as a teaser video, perfect for generating a little excitement on social media in the run-up to your big day.

Are you willing to travel?
I love hitting the road and exploring new places. From Cornwall to Shetland, my mission is to deliver documentary wedding videography packages to clients throughout rural England, Scotland, Wales and beyond. So no matter if you’re a couple by the Clyde or planning a wedding in the Wolds, I’d love to hear from you.
How long will I have to wait for my photos/video?
Waiting months months for your wedding content sucks, but editing does take time. While I’ll always try and deliver our edits within six to eight weeks, during peak times things may take a little longer.
Do you do half-day shoots?
Depending on the season and location, I’m more than happy to run half-day shoots. Check out our guide to micro weddings here.
Is fuel/expenses included or do I have to pay extra?
During the consultation process I will be totally transparent in regard to travel costs and expenses. Don’t forget that before any money is exchanged, you and your partner will have a bullet-proof contract to sign - detailing all the information you need to ensure your investment is protected.
How many shoots do you work each year?
Where once I used to work up to 60 shoots in a season, from 2023 onwards I will be taking on no more than 15 shoots a year. This is a move I’ve been keen to make for a while now, allowing me more time to dedicate to each individual booking as well as the editing process.
