A Happy Couple’s Review (Jessica & Patrick – November 2024, Tewkesbury Park Hotel):


“Thank you so much to Peter for being such a big part of our special day. You went above and beyond to capture the most beautiful moments for us. Having a videographer was one of our best decisions, and we are very glad we chose Peter. He was very professional and made our day run very smoothly. We absolutely love our video; it is perfect. Patrick and I have watched it repeatedly, and our emotions are overflowing. Thank you for giving us this gift, which we can share now with our family and friends forever.”
