The best of the best
An unforgettable experience from start to finish - in all the right ways! We were lucky enough to have James shoot our wedding and his charm, character and talent for capturing all the little moments made for the most incredible videos. He caught every expression, every look, every moment, and we ended up with films that we’ll cherish forever. My husband and I said that while watching them back, we could feel how we felt in the moment. What more could we ask for! And a shoutout to Yasmin who was nothing short of incredible throughout the process. So kind, caring and professional and willing to do whatever she could to make the process easy and enjoyable. All in all, a brilliant team who will deliver everything you want and more. Book them, you won’t regret it!

From the moment I filled out the form on his website to the conversation I had with him on the phone, I knew he was the right person to capture our wedding day perfectly!!! and from the videos we have now received from capturing every moment from the ceremony to the speeches and up to the evening celebration he has got the high spirit of the whole day and every moment is stunning and beautiful, so this is confirmation he is your guy!!! James on the day was so professional and also very discreet in capturing the day with us and picking up moments that even we didn't notice. Even with people who are camera shy he has such a friendly manner it made then feel so at ease and comfortable that they loved it!! Not only was he there doing the wedding video he also did these amazing Instagram reels including our guests which was utterly brilliant and everyone loved this and commented how amazing it was!! I can't express how lovely these videos are - I literally cry happy tears every time I watch it. I will have these memories with me for a lifetime and just hearing your loved ones voices especially when they are not hear anymore still feels like they are in the room with you and that is priceless!!!!!! 5 stars just isn't enough I would give him 10 stars if I could.

James made our dreams come true!
When first meeting James I instantly got a sense of how friendly, warm and professional he is - with his experience and enthusiasm I knew he would do a great job. From the intro call to the planning meeting, arriving on the day and delivering our special video, working with James has been nothing short of an absolute JOY! James has the unique ability to be your fun and caring friend on your wedding day, whilst still maintaining the highest level of professionalism. Not only that, he brings bags of enthusiasm and insane levels of talent. When James had finished shooting our day, we didn’t want him to leave!! When we received our wedding video, we got to relive our day through the eyes of our guests and the love that was shared - we shed many tears! As my mum sobbed watching the video back she said “he’s captured the joy” - and he really had! I’ve wanted a wedding video since i was a little girl, and James has made that little girl’s dream come true. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 🫶🏼 Love, Mr & Mrs Westerman

An amazing, hardworking, friendly videographer!
An absolute legend of a videographer!! James was such a gentleman in how he handled working with us - he was incredibly friendly and took every measure to make sure we felt comfortable with him. This paid off on our wedding day as from the start he slotted himself in very seamlessly. My wife and I even felt like he was a wedding guest - that was how comfortable we were with him! James was also great with working with our photographer, and together they worked amazingly. James gave great guidance, and at times it was just what we needed to have some extra special shots. Finally, James works so efficiently - our videos were finished within a week!!!! An absolute pleasure working with you James - I wish all the best for your career!

Thank you James
James was the videographer at our wedding in August 2024, London, which took place at two venues: the church and the reception. I recommend his services. Here are a few key points that stood out about his work: 1. Disciplined and Responsible: James is a very disciplined and responsible professional. He arrived early to capture footage of the empty streets before the ceremony, setting the mood beautifully. At the church, he prepared his video equipment well in advance. Anyone who has planned a significant event like a wedding knows how crucial it is to have reliable vendors who take your special day seriously. 2. Organized Workflow: James's work was well-organized. From our initial call to the final amendments of the video, everything was clear and timely. There were no delays, which made the entire process stress-free for us. 3. Client-Oriented: James is very client-oriented. He listened to our suggestions and made sure to incorporate our wishes into the final product. For example, I asked him to capture a moment with my groom's mother. He not only captured that interaction but also managed to catch her smile (she smiles not often now) which was incredibly meaningful to us. 4. Technical Expertise: James is an excellent videographer who stays updated with the latest trends in audio and video technology. The audio quality in our video is superb, thanks to the high-quality equipment he provided. 5. Hardworking: James worked tirelessly throughout the entire event, from before 10 a.m. until around 8 p.m. During both the church ceremony and the reception, he captured every significant moment and detail. He didn’t miss a thing and worked diligently every single minute. As a result, we have amazing footage from which he created a stunning highlight movie 6. James' work was unnoticed. My groom was concerned that filming the event might be intrusive and feel like an endless Instagram shoot. However, in reality, James' approach was very subtle. We hardly noticed the filming, yet he was always around, capturing everything 7. James did very well with the music arrangement and superimposed the speeches onto the video

Brilliant Videographer
We recently had the pleasure of having James David Films to capture our special day, and we cannot recommend him enough! While the final edited films were absolutely stunning, the best decision we made was purchasing the raw footage. Having an hour-long film that captures every single moment - from the funny, light-hearted bits to the more emotional, heartfelt moments, has been priceless. It’s so special to be able to relive the entire day in its unfiltered, authentic form. If you’re considering a videographer, we would highly recommend also investing in the raw footage. It’s truly a treasure that we will cherish forever, and James David Films did an incredible job of preserving every moment. Thank you James!

Absolute amazing videographer. And such a lovely man. Nothing was too much. He made our day so amazing. And we felt so comfortable. He’s work is outstanding and amazing. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. He was a pleasure to have at our wedding. Having the video to look back on is just beautiful as my wife has now passed. Thank you for a day to remember.
