By Daniel Quinn (BYDQ) creates cinematic wedding films and social-first content that capture the energy, emotion and atmosphere of your day. From intimate, unscripted moments to unforgettable celebrations, my approach is about telling your story as it actually happened, with personality, creativity and a distinctive visual style.
Wedding Films & Highlights
Beautifully crafted wedding films, cinematic highlights and shorter, music-led edits that bring together the moments, emotions and details that make your celebration unique. From morning preparations and the ceremony to speeches, first dances and the evening celebrations, coverage can be tailored around your plans.
Wedding Content Creation
Dynamic, engaging vertical videos designed for Instagram, TikTok and sharing with family and friends. Think candid behind-the-scenes moments, creative Reels, energetic montages and beautifully edited highlights. Same-day content and rapid-turnaround edits are also available by arrangement, so you can relive and share the excitement while it's still fresh.
Engagement & Pre-Wedding Films
Creative engagement shoots, save-the-date videos and personalised couple films that celebrate your story before the wedding day itself.
Aerial Filming
Optional cinematic drone footage brings an additional perspective to your wedding film, capturing venues, landscapes and spectacular establishing shots where flying conditions and permissions allow.
A Personal, Flexible Approach
With experience in wedding, event and travel filmmaking, I combine cinematic production techniques with an instinct for capturing genuine, spontaneous moments. My filming style is relaxed and unobtrusive, allowing you and your guests to enjoy the celebration naturally.
From shorter content-creation bookings to extended wedding-day coverage, every project can be tailored to your priorities, with a pre-wedding consultation to plan the details.
Based in Portsmouth, Hampshire, By Daniel Quinn creates modern, expressive wedding films and content that don't just show how your wedding looked, but remind you exactly how it felt.

What makes your wedding films different?
I love capturing the moments that make a wedding feel like YOUR wedding. The unexpected laughs, the emotional reactions, the questionable dance moves and everything in between!
My approach combines cinematic storytelling with energetic, social-first content. I want to create films that feel personal, natural and full of life, rather than turning your wedding into a staged production.
Think less posing for the camera, more reliving the day exactly as it felt.
What wedding films and content do you offer?
Everything from punchy 30-second Instagram Reels and TikToks to cinematic wedding highlights and longer films.
Whether you want a collection of short-form content to share with friends and family, a more detailed wedding film, or a combination of both, we can build something around your plans and budget.
I'm particularly passionate about creative, music-led edits that bring the atmosphere and energy of the day back to life.
Can we book you for just a few hours?
Absolutely! Not every wedding needs a filmmaker from sunrise until midnight.
Whether you're planning an intimate ceremony, want your speeches and celebrations captured, or fancy coverage from morning preparations right through to the dance floor, we can work out what suits you.
I offer flexible filming options, with the coverage and deliverables agreed before booking.
Can you create wedding content on the same day?
Yes! Same-day highlights and social content are something I'm excited to offer.
Imagine having a short, energetic Reel from your wedding ready to share while the celebrations are still happening!
Same-day editing can be arranged in advance, depending on your wedding schedule and the filming coverage required. We'll work out what's realistic so the quality of your content isn't compromised.
Do you offer drone footage?
Yes! Aerial filming is part of what I do at By Daniel Quinn.
Drone footage can add a completely different perspective to your wedding film, from sweeping shots of your venue and surrounding scenery to beautiful establishing sequences.
Drone coverage can be included by arrangement, subject to suitable weather, airspace restrictions and venue permissions.
Will we have to pose for the camera all day?
Definitely not! I want you to enjoy your wedding, not feel like you're spending the day on a film set.
My approach is relaxed and documentary-led, looking for real interactions, spontaneous laughter and those little moments you might not even realise are happening.
Of course, if you have a creative shot or particular idea in mind, I'm always happy to plan something special too!
Do you film engagements and pre-wedding content?
Absolutely! Weddings aren't the only moments worth filming.
I can create engagement films, save-the-date videos and short-form content to celebrate your story before the big day.
It's also a lovely opportunity for us to get to know each other, try out creative ideas and help you feel comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding.
What happens before our wedding?
We'll have a chat about your plans, what you're most excited about and the moments you really want captured.
I love hearing people's ideas, whether that's a particular song, a creative Reel, a family tradition or something completely unexpected.
We'll agree the filming coverage, style, deliverables and timings in advance. My aim is to make the process straightforward so you can concentrate on enjoying your day.
