Four weddings and a testimonial
Today I had a call with a couple who were looking for a videographer to shoot their upcoming Cheshire wedding.
A big reason they rang was they were worried about making sure they would capture every moment, and didn’t just want to rely on the footage their mates would get on phones.
We spoke in depth about how I can take that worry away from them, and let them just relax and be in the moment of their special day.
It was fantastic to talk with them about their day and I can’t wait to capture their full day.
I’m sure I’m supposed to say phrases like ‘the calendar is filling up’, ‘book now to guarantee’ and ‘not much availability left’, but I’m not one to tell fibs.
I am excited though that I have four weddings booked in so far for 2025, and four testimonials to shoot for a local wedding venue.
Setting up a freelance business is of course going to take a while, but I’m really pleased so many people have put their faith in me to deliver some stunning videography and I’m looking forward to delivering on that!

Day two shoot at North West wedding venue
Day two of our weekend shoot at a Georgian Bolton wedding venue was a blast!
Our team of wedding photographer, dresser, venue manager and me set up and shot five different ceremony options, numerous breakfast options and even what an evening would look like.
It was a lot of fun but now the editing work begins!

Day one shoot at a Georgian wedding venue
Today I had the pleasure of shooting at a North West wedding venue.
I was there to capture five different areas they wanted to highlight for couples looking for their perfect venue.
This included two larger spaces, two intimate - including a stunning outdoor space - and one in between.
It was a great opportunity to carry on building my portfolio and create some fantastic content for the venue.
Tomorrow I’m back there for day two of the shoot before the editing begins!

Meeting with a Bolton wedding venue
It was lovely to go to a Bolton wedding venue today to talk about shooting all the different options they have for people considering them as a venue.
They have set up a weekend shoot in a couple of weeks and I’m incredibly excited to have been asked to provide their video content.
I’m going to be creating their promotional videos - my style is to capture the reality but in a cinematic way. I’ve just taken delivery of a professional gimbal so those sweeping shots should now be a dream to create!
This shoot should really help me to show you how I can capture your day and help you remember those memories forever.

A little trip to an amazing North West wedding flower shop
Today I visited Flowersmiths in Horwich, to take some snaps of their fantastic shop and create a social media short for them.
Flowersmiths has the most amazing array of flowers, as well as other produce (we use them for refillable detergents!), and their Instagram shows just how beautiful their wedding arrangements are.
They are well worth a visit and are so welcoming and friendly.
It was also lovely to see the local female photography club when I was there - best of luck on your photography journey, ladies!

Here we go!
Today is a momentus day - I have my first bookings in my new career!
As someone who works 9-5 in PR, digital and communications, with a specialty in videography, I've decided to make moves towards a return to being freelance and working in the wedding industry.
My wedding experience comes from numerous years and countless weddings throughout the UK as the drummer for a wedding band in the Midlands. Seeing people so full of joy as they celebrate the happy couple is incredible, and I really wanted to get back into seeing that first hand.
So here I am, starting out as a freelance wedding videographer.
And today I met with two local businesses so I can build my portfolio! While I've been specialising in video for many years, it's always been for a business or organisation - so I need to show you all how I will help you remember your special day forever. One business makes the most gorgeous bouquets, and the other is a fantastic Georgian venue.
From these meetings I have plans in place to highlight the incredible services they both offer, a handful of testimonials to film, as well as my first wedding booking for later in the year.
Watch this space to see my portfolio grow and how I can help you capture your cherished memories!
