Beautiful memories of our wedding to watch and cherish forever
Words can’t express how happy we are with the final videos of our wedding. To be able to see each other getting ready on the day and see our guests having an amazing time, is priceless. These are sciences that you don’t see when you’re the bride and groom, so to be able to play these back again and again makes it worth every penny.

Worth every penny!
We got married at the Old Kent Barn on 2nd Sept & we always knew we wanted to have everything filmed to look back on & capture all of the special moments... we couldn't have picked a better Videographer in Joe. The videos he's produced are absolutely outstanding & we were genuinely blown away by everything, we’ve shown all of our friends & families who are also amazed at how everything was put together & the special moments he managed to captured are truly incredible. Something we will always treasure. If you’re looking for a videographer, or debating if it’s worth it, it is 100% worth it & we would recommend Joe in an instant; his communication was fantastic, always quick to answer any questions or queries in the build up. As for the day itself, he is such an easy & fun guy to be around. This made both of us (& all of our guests) feel at complete ease with the cameras & meant he could get the best out of everyone on our big day. We also couldn’t believe the speed in which he managed to produce such quality videos, we had our trailer within 2 days & everything else within 2 weeks! Cheers again Joe.

The BEST wedding videographer!!
We met Joe at a wedding fair in Kent and instantly knew we wanted him to be our videographer at our wedding. We ended up deciding to get married in Hampshire but still enquired with Joe as to whether he would travel and were soooo happy that he said yes! His work is amazing, captured the day so beautifully I can’t stop watching our videos. He made us and everyone at our wedding feel so comfortable being in front of the camera. Wicked sense of humour and talent is unmatched. Best decision we made for our wedding was having Joe there!

Couldnt have asked for a better videographer!!
Joe is just amazing. From the first meeting right up until he had finished on our wedding he was brilliant to be around. He has an amazing sense of humour that puts you at ease throughout the day but he still manages to grab those special moments that make you go wow when you see them on film. My wife isnt really a crier but she had tears streaming just from the trailer let alone the longer cinematic. We highly recommend!!

Joe is incredible. He is so talented and his work is amazing. The videos he produced for us are outstanding. We couldn’t be happier! He is so friendly and made us feel so comfortable and at ease.

Perfect videographer
Joe was the perfect videographer for our special day. He made us feel very relaxed as we are not naturally comfortable in-front of cameras. He kept us smiling and laughing and we absolutely love the videos he shot. For the most part we even forgot we were being filmed at times which was perfect. The videos are beautiful and we could not recommend him highly enough.

Where can I even start .. Joe is absolutely incredible, not only did he capture the best day of our lives but he was like a friend we had known for years . We got in touch with Joe very short notice to our date as we kept seeing his videos on instagram and falling in love with them. Joe is kind , friendly and most of all very professional. From seeing me stressed and keeping me calm , to get a spider out when I was about to put my dress on, to belly laughing with us the whole experience was incredible not forgetting Joe was the only person who knew where to pin my dress at the back ( Girls you need Joe ) We can’t recommend Joe enough , he got our video back to us super quick! We also did the cinema experience and if you’re thinking about it just book it , honestly the best decision we made! We feel sad we won’t see Joe again so we will be arranging a dinner date :-) Thank you so much Joe xx

Captured our day perfectly
Joe was our videographer for our special day and from booking him in 2022 to our wedding day last Thursday, he was always responsive and lovely. We even have all our videos back already and we love them so much. He really did capture our whole day perfectly. On the day he made us feel at ease during couple shots, making us laugh helping us be less nervous than we were. When mingling with guests we would never of even known he was there during these moments, but he captured all the special moments on camera. Thank you Joe for helping make our wedding day perfect and capturing the day just as we remember it, so we can re-watch it over and over again.

The best day ever!
We honestly couldn’t recommend Joe enough! We met him at a wedding fair for our wedding venue, his work looked amazing and it was lovely to see what he had already captured at our venue. We immediately got the ball rolling after meeting him and booked in! We were so nervous on the day about having all eyes on us from guests and cameras but it was absolutely amazing. Joe made us feel so at ease, we laughed all day long and the nerves disappeared almost instantly! He is amazing at what he does, his work is impeccable and we are so thankful he was able to capture our special day. Luckily Joe knew our photographer also so that made the day even better as they had worked together previously. The turn around for our videos was so fast, we received them while on honeymoon which was just unreal to sit back and watch while in Greece with cocktails. Joe will not disappoint! If you are considering booking him for your day, do it! Thank you for everything Joe, you made our day so special.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Mr & Mrs Hill - Mount Ephraim Gardens

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Fun, natural, creative, stylish, emotional

What about your business are you most proud of?

In my first year I managed to win the best newcomer award at the Kent wedding awards and I got to share that moment with all my friends and family. With all the couples I worked with watching live on YouTube. I have since gone on to win a country run, national round and international round of the international wedding awards.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Get to know you’re videographer/photographer, build a friendship with them before your big day, this way you’ll be so much more relaxed with his filming on the day. This creates some really cool and natural moments that are less forced.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

I did a Disney themed wedding at the Hythe imperial and their table decorations were really creative, they had a full Disney scene setup on each table and the ‘up’ themed table had a little house on that even looked like it was floating.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

After you enquire, I try to arrange a zoom call so you can get to know me or ask any questions you may have and see if I’m the right fit for your wedding. If you decide that you like me enough to book then ill send you the link to the online booking form and take the deposit. Then usually 4-6 weeks before the wedding we’ll arrange another call or a meeting just to go over all the fine details of the day, timings etc. After the wedding I try to get your trailer over to you quite quickly so you can relive that special day whilst you’re on your honeymoon. Then the full video should come in the following months.

What is the most exciting thing you have caught on camera?

I did a really cool signature shot on the beach in hythe, with lighting and smoke and that was a really exciting scene with the music working perfectly with it.

What is the one film you wish you had directed and why?

I would have loved to have worked alongside Anthony and Joe Russo on Avengers: End Game. It’s a pure cinematic masterpiece with so much anticipation and lets be honest being involved in the MCU in anyway would be a dream!

What is your favourite soundtrack to put to a wedding video?

Usually, I spend a fair amount of time looking for the right soundtrack. It needs to be gripping, the lyrics need to be able to speak to the couple and the music itself needs to be captivating enough not to be boring but melodic enough not to be like EDM haha. I think the music is just as important as the video to create as much emotion as I can. So I make sure I select the perfect song for each couple.

Describe how you got into videography.

I had been a photographer for a while, mainly landscape and fitness based. Then I got asked to film a friends wedding, I was paid £100 so that I could but a memory card haha. But being able to get creative in a whole new was was amazing and I found a whole new passion. Unfortunately, COVID took over the world so it slowed down progress. However, that just gave me so much time to practice and teach myself new skills ready for the wedding season.
