Sam Baly Films Full Description
I create beautiful cinematic wedding films in 4K using high-end cameras and sound equipment. My aim is to tell the story of your big day as you felt it and saw it. To capture all those moments of emotion both large and small, and the details and effort you put in to making your day amazing for everyone who comes. I believe having a wedding film is every bit as essential as photography. It's a way to relive your most special memories in what can be a more tangible way than with photographs. I also believe it should be every bit as professional and high quality as the photos you will receive. I'm Sam - a passionate filmmaker and storyteller. I commit all my skills and effort to every film I make and my aim is to be the best in my field, so that I can make you the absolute best wedding film possible. I love working with couples who enjoy an atmospheric, emotional and elegant style. Here's what will set your film apart from others... - I spend hours to find exactly the right music for your film. I then edit it to work with the film perfectly as the emotion builds and releases. My cuts work with the music. - I don't just roll cameras. I consider aesthetics, the light, the framing, the composition (although you probably won't see me holding my fingers up to make a frame in the air!) You'd be amazed how many videographers just point and shoot! - Some videographers bang out your edit the same day, or provide multiple edits for dubiously small amounts of money. I make sure your highlights film is as near perfect as possible. For me, it's not just the highlights edit, it's THE FILM and I make sure it has the time spent on it that it deserves. - I'm obsessed with cameras and colour grading. That means your film is going to LOOK like a film, not a home video. My OCD, your benefit. You're welcome! - If I get half a chance I'm going to fly my tiny helicopter and grab some amazing aerial footage. It literally elevates the video! Sorry. Please watch a film! :)

Highly recommend
If you're thinking of a videographer we highly recommend Sam. He was so helpful in the lead up and took the time to get a feel for our personalities/what we wanted. He was great on the day, guiding us to get the best shots. We didn't even notice them working, blending in and having pre set up cameras. We love all our footage and are so glad we have the videos to remember our day. Couldn't have asked for better.

No one better!!
My now husband and I traveled from the US to get married in Cotswold UK. I started looking for a videographer the start of new year 2023 because I just wasn’t sure how hard it was going to be being we are not from that area/country. I searched videographer in/near Cotswold and the search begin. I looked at a couple profiles but just didn’t get the “this is it” feeling with the first couple. I then gave up on my search and tried again and changed the area location to expand my search and found Sam. His video screamed out something so different, it made me feel like I was standing there at these weddings, to the music/clips everything he captured is what I was looking for. Idk how else to explain it but when you know you know!! Right from the start of me filling out my inquiry he responded right away. I explained our plans of having a small intimate wedding and Sam provided the different packages for that and answered all my questions. We scheduled a zoom meeting talked more again about my vision and I was sold. Sam was so professional through the whole process, helped us so much. Worked amazingly with our photographer, just did a fantastic job with directing it. I could seriously go on and on about how wonderful Sam is. The video Sam made for us made me cry, he captured everything and did a beautiful job. There is no one better than Sam, Sam is the man and will give you his all, to give you the most beautiful most memorial video and experience ever! Idk why but it wouldn’t allow me to pick our wedding date-July 19, 2023

Professional, accommodating & great communication!
We have the most beautiful wedding on film forever thanks to Sam and his incredible talent! Very professional, accommodating and there was excellent communication from the start (which helped as we planned the wedding from overseas). The social media trailer is also perfect. He incorporated our personalities and the music was simply beautiful. So many guests have said it’s the best wedding video they’ve ever seen! Highly recommend.

Anyone we show this video to says it’s the best wedding video they’ve seen
If you’re looking for an outstanding wedding videographer, look no further. Sam was excellent at communicating, friendly and professional from the very first email, to delivery of the film. He understood our brief completely and captured our special day better than we’d ever even imagined. We can’t thank him enough for capturing every emotion in such an incredible way. Words cannot do justice to how impressed we are with the quality of work and the professionalism of Sam and his team. Absolutely cannot recommend them enough. You absolutely blew us away Sam, thank you!!

Book this guy…book him now
It would be difficult to put into words just how much we would recommend Sam Baly as a wedding videographer. From first point of contact until delivery of the final product working with Sam was an absolute pleasure. The pre-wedding communication was excellent with the complimentary engagement shoot to help us feel more comfortable and to know what to expect was a lovely touch. On the actual day Sam and his second where incredible. Invisible when they had to be and during directed scenes for the video their ability to happily instruct us what to do in order to create the product that we requested was excellent. The overall product is jawdroppingly brilliant and is exactly what we were looking for. Sam‘s ability to take our brief and create something so magically wonderful with his own unique style was second to none and we would have no hesitation in recommending him for any wedding. Thank you Sam for making what was already a brilliant day unforgettable.

Our wedding day captured perfectly by Sam
We couldn’t be happier with our wedding video that was put together by Sam Baly. From start to finish Sam made the process so easy and relaxed, from the initial meeting over zoom to the big day its self. Sam was very responsive to any questions or ideas we had. We left it down to him to compose the video after seeing some of his other work and speaking with him we were confident he would make it look amazing and that he did and more. We have had so many compliments off of family and friends as to how good the video is, people saying it’s like a movie trailer! It captures our day in such a special way, from beginning to end fitting perfectly with the background music and the snippets of the vows and the speeches that were put in. Thank you to Sam and his assistant for their hard work. We very much enjoyed having you guys there to capture it all.
