WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHER IN THE COTSWOLDS

Cotswold Wedding Videographer: Authentic and Relaxed Wedding Videos.

As documentary wedding videographers the way we film weddings – relaxed and unobtrusive, means you can focus on having the best time of your lives surrounded by the people who matter the most to you, knowing that you'll be able to relive the memories you're busy making again and again. Our goal is to create a film that you'll want to watch forever, from the first glimpse of you walking down the aisle, candid moments during your reception to the breathtaking views from your venue when we go out in golden hour.

From intimate ceremonies in hidden village churches to grand celebrations in breathtaking manor houses. Our documentary-style approach ensures we capture your day authentically, as it happens, letting the natural beauty of your wedding day shine through.

The Cotswolds is renowned for its exceptional wedding venues and as a videographer based in the Cotswolds we have the privilege of filming at many of them. From the magical gardens of Kiftsgate Court to the charming luxury of Owlpen Manor, the stately home of Blenheim Palace or the rustic elegance of Hyde House, there really is something for everyone.

How it all works when you book your wedding film with us:

• Pre-Booking Consultation: This is a chance for us to get to know each other, to run through any questions you may have.
• Booking: We will send you a link to our client portal where you can fill in the booking form, sign your contract and pay your deposit.
• Pre-Wedding Consultation: Around 4-5 weeks before your wedding day we will arrange a video call to run through timings, and any additional details which may have changed since you first booked with us. You will receive your final invoice.

The Wedding Day: We typically arrive 2 hours before the ceremony to capture preparations and setup, depending on your chosen package. We will flow with your day perfectly, moving from preparations to ceremony, from reception to the first dance and evening party, filming all the special moments that unfold.

Editing and Delivery: After your wedding, we carefully edit the film of your magical day, within 8-12 weeks, and once finished we upload it to a private video portal where you will be able to watch and share your film.

Every precious moment captured for you to cherish for generations to come and can even become part of your anniversary traditions.

Should I book a videographer based in the Cotswolds?

You might be wondering if you need to book a wedding videographer based in the Cotswolds, and while we are based locally, you don’t necessarily need to only consider a local videographer for your wedding. In fact, there's something really exciting about bringing someone in from somewhere else. Personally, we find that shooting in new locations really sparks our creativity. It’s a chance to see things with fresh eyes, which can lead to capturing those special, unexpected moments in a really vibrant way. With so many venues in this absolutely stunning part of the country you might find a videographer nearby that hasn't filmed at your venue before.

Professional videographers are used to travelling and quickly getting the lay of the land, ensuring they catch all the important angles and moments, no matter where they are. Many videographers are happy to travel to your wedding, as for us one of the best parts of the job is getting to create wedding films in different parts of the country.

Cotswold Wedding Videographer: Our Approach, Cinematic or Documentary?

When you're looking for a videographer for your wedding in the Cotswolds you'll soon realise theres a lot of choice. There are many different styles of films to choose from, most commonly there are cinematic wedding videographers and documentary videographers.

You live in the moment, while we preserve your memories.

Why it's important to consider your preferred style of wedding video:

Choosing the right style for your wedding video is important because it effects the approach of the videographer on the day and the final film that you will receive.

Here’s a quick look at the two main styles:

Documentary Style: This is all about capturing your day as it really happens – real moments as they unfold. It’s perfect if you want a true-to-life memory of your wedding, showing the laughter, tears, and everything in between, exactly how it happened. This approach tends to let you enjoy your day without interruption.

Cinematic Style: Think of this as your wedding transformed into a movie. It’s more about creating a dramatic, polished look with lots of artistic touches. If you love the idea of your wedding day looking like a film, this might be the style for you. This approach might need you to spend more dedicated time with the videographer on the day away from family and friends to capture specific shots.

Knowing which style you lean towards helps ensure that your wedding video feels just right. We specialise in documentary style, focusing on capturing genuine, candid moments that let you relive your day, exactly how it felt. So if keeping it real and heartfelt is what you’re looking for, we’ve got you covered!
