Your wedding day deserves more than just a video. It deserves a cinematic wedding film that captures every emotion, detail, and unforgettable moment in breath taking style. Being a wedding videographer in the Southwest, I specialise in creating wedding films that tell your love story through stunning visuals, heartfelt storytelling, and professional film-grade editing. From the rolling Somerset countryside to charming venues like rustic barns and elegant estates, I beautifully capture the atmosphere and emotion of your celebration.

Pre-Wedding Consultation
Every wedding is unique & your journey is too. It’s so important to connect with your videographer before the big day. As cheesie as it is, investing in a wedding video is about the journey before getting married. I will invite you to a call where we will get to know each other better & guide you through the steps needed.
No Clock Watching
The most important thing to consider is time. You should be enjoying yourself and not worrying how long you have me for. Typically most wedding videographers set a time and leave once that time is met. However, my day starts with you getting ready, and finishes with evening dancing. I say goodbye when I’m happy I have enough.
Tailoring To You
Everyone has a vision in mind when it comes to their wedding video. Some like to be centre of stage, whist others like to blend in. I’ve got you! I tailor my approach so you are most comfortable. My expertise in creating wedding films allows me to adapt the style of film you receive.
What My Clients Think Of ME
Having worked with many couples & wedding suppliers including other videographers, nothing is better than hearing how I have impacted their lives for the better.
The BEST decision we made was hiring Josh as our wedding videographer. We found out about him through our photographer and as soon as we had our first initial call we knew he would bring absolute VIBES to our wedding day!
Josh is incredibly talented, warm, friendly and such a laugh to have around. He really helped bring the day together and provided a calm energy for us both on such a big day!
We are so pleased that we chose Josh to be our wedding videographer. He is a relaxed, funny and friendly guy and an amazing videographer! The video is cleverly edited and we couldn’t have asked for a better capturing of our special day.
Josh was the perfect videographer for our wedding. From our first call through to all our post wedding communication, he was friendly, fun, kind and pragmatic. We absolutely loved receiving the wedding highlight reel the very next morning and watching it over our first breakfast as a married couple. It was magical! Our full highlight film is edited so thoughtfully and to match the vibes of our wedding. Josh caught the busier bustle of the family getting ready in the morning, the heartfelt nature of the ceremony and speeches and the fun of the evening party. All the music and edit timings are perfect and beautiful.
Personally, Josh felt like one of the bridal party in the morning and my hype man amongst all the other wonderful bridesmaids and women suppliers. He worked wonderfully with our photographer team and spoke and chatted with everyone. He was fabulous at making us feel at ease, which is so important as your videographer is such a central person and contact over the wedding day.
Looking at Josh’s other videos, I love how he seems to catch the individual essence of each wedding.
Thanks for everything Josh.
My Passion as a Wedding Videographer
My journey into wedding videography began in an unexpected way, filming property videos for estate agents here in the UK. It taught me the technical side of filmmaking, from lighting and composition to understanding exactly what a client wanted. But as I became more creative with each shoot, I realised I was craving something more emotional and meaningful. When I filmed my very first wedding, I was completely hooked. The atmosphere, the emotion, the genuine love between two people. I knew instantly that capturing those moments was what I was meant to do. That day changed everything, and I’ve been telling love stories through film ever since.
Styles Between Wedding Videographers
Over the years, my style has evolved from a documentary wedding video approach to a fully cinematic wedding film style. Documentary videography focuses on simply recording the day as it unfolds, while cinematic storytelling is all about emotion, artistry, and narrative. Crafting a film that feels like your very own movie. Every shot is intentional, every sound carefully layered, and every frame designed to bring your story to life in the most beautiful way possible. Along this journey, I’ve been lucky to collaborate with some truly amazing and supportive wedding suppliers in Somerset. From wedding photographers and videographers in Somerset, planners, florists, and venues who share the same passion for creativity and excellence. Many of them have become long-term friends and trusted partners, helping me create unforgettable experiences for couples across Somerset and the South West.

What makes a great Somerset wedding film?
As a wedding videographer, I need to understand the place, its venues, and the emotional moments that make each wedding unique. Therefore, in every wedding film I create, I put the story first, capturing vows, speeches, and candid moments that shape the narrative, while cinematic shots seamlessly tie the day together. Additionally, I highlight the landscape and venue context with establishing shots of the manor, gardens, or countryside, so viewers instantly feel the sense of place Somerset is famous for. Equally important is sound, combining clear audio of vows and speeches with ambient sounds that transport you back to the day. I also focus on local details, whether it’s cider toasts, meadow games, or a vintage tractor exit. Ultimately, by mixing documentary-style coverage with slow, cinematic sequences, the edit feels natural, immersive, and emotionally compelling.
