Alan was the videographer for our wedding on 25/7/21. From our initial enquiry and throughout Alan has been great; always quick to respond and kept us well informed. We received our films back from Alan within a fortnight. Both the highlights film and the ceremony film exceeded our expectations, the highlights video is amazingly put together and fits the music we chose perfectly, capturing the whole range of festivities across the day. On the day Alan was discreet, yet manages to capture every moment! Thank you!

Alan was our videographer for our intimate wedding due to the pandemic. During the planning process he was always professional and able to adapt to the changing situation. Even though we only had 8 guests at the weddinf, Alan managed to make himself discrete while still getting some amazing footage. Thank you so much for our beautiful wedding video that still looks exactly like a wedding video should be despite everything else going on in the world.

Alan is amazing! Would 100% recommend that you have your wedding captured by him. We were blown away by the two videos we received and it was more than we couldve asked for. Thanks again Alan :) x x

We were Alan's first full wedding back after COVID lockdown and had the most amazing day. It was so intimate to have just 26 guests and we were lucky enough to have an evening reception as restrictions were lifted in time. I can't put into words how amazing the films are, he captured all the key moments and it's so worth having the full footage of your ceremony, speeches and dances to look back on. The highlight film was edited beautifully to our music choice and Alan caught every little detail and all the precious moments between guests. I'd 100% recommend him for an amazing quality and great

What an absolutely brilliant guy. Alan went out of his way to make sure he captured every part of my daughters special day. He got round everyone but never got in anyone's way - I don't know how he managed it but you just didn't know he was there. The finished product is AMAZING. If Alan is available to do your wedding video then get him booked. Thanks Alan for capturing the memories.

We cant thank Alan enough for the fantastic job he has done for our wedding video, the highlights video is amazing and makes us feel like we are living the day all over again each time we watch it. We booked Alan after seeing the great job he did for my cousins wedding. He was very easy to work with throughout the booking, was friendly and unobtrusive on the day and gave us a quick turnaround on the finished video. Thanks so much!
