An absolute dream!

I really don't have enough positive things to say about Dean. He truly was an absolute dream to have a part of our day.

Full transparency here.... my partner wasn't fully on board with the need for a videographer however we both agreed it was the absolute best thing we spent money on and I am so glad we came across Dean.

I truly despise having my picture taken, or having a camera anywhere near me and I was terrified I wouldn't be happy with anything captured from the day but not only was Dean a breath of fresh air, and a friendly face to reassure me whenever needed.... he also captured SO much from the day without us even realizing he was doing so half the time.

Such a cool guy, made us feel so calm and at ease and we are so lucky to have had him on board for our day. Honestly couldn't rate him any more and we've only had our teaser video so far! Highly recommend.... you will not be disappointed.

Thank you a million times Dean!

The perfect man for the job!

Dean is the best! When thinking about our day, having Dean as our videographer was one of the best choices we could have made. He made us feel comfortable and allowed us space, whilst ensuring he captured our special moments. He is a very calm person to have in front of you on one of the most nerve-racking days of your life. Dean was super organised and at times we even asked him what time the next event was on our day (not his role, but he always knew).

Dean got on very well with our photographer and worked as if they were part of a team although they had never met before - this made our couple moments really fun and comfortable. We have seen snippets of the footage and are so happy with the quality and style of Dean's shooting. We could not recommend him more.

Thank you Dean for everything!

The West's Wedding

We went with Dean Sherwood because he came with very good reviews from couple who had got married and from his awards. Dean was professional and personal throughout our wedding experience. The videos themselves were spectacular and we would very highly recommend choosing him as your wedding videographer!

A truly special wedding video!

Dean was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was so calm and professional on the day and worked around all of the madness to capture as one truly amazing footage.
The video was so well edited and captured so many special people and moments - nothing was missed! We can’t thank Dean enough and would recommend him to everyone.

Exactly what we’d hoped for

Dean was exactly what we were looking for, a more modern approach to a wedding video. The live music at our wedding was incredibly important to us to capture which Dean did and used the audio over the highlight reel, it was everything that we’d hoped for. Dean captured in the highlight reel exactly how we remember our day looking and feeling, it was so special to be able to relive the memories and see bits of the day we had missed or forgotten. Dean was quick to respond, we met on a video call which was great as we could discuss our requirements and we just felt like it was a good fit, this secured our decision to proceed. The booking process was easy and the prep/questions before the day gave us confidence that everything we wanted captured would be. We received our video back within 12 weeks including our highlight reel, full ceremony, first dance and speeches. Dean’s service is excellent value for money, he’s a friendly guy and was very discreet on the day, we barely noticed him but he still managed to capture the intimate moments! We would highly recommend.

no cheesy, tacky videos here, it's more like a really cool, behind-the-scenes music video.

WOW!!! We LOVED working with Dean! He shot our small, intimate wedding and he did the most amazing job. He captured the day, the guests, the atmosphere, the tears, the laughter, the love. .. and all done in such a beautiful way. There are no cheesy, tacky videos here, it's more like a really cool, behind-the-scenes music video.
Dean was great at communicating with us, really listening to what we wanted (and didn't want), nothing was ever a problem and he was a total professional on the day!! And not to mention the videos he produced afterward, we will cherish them forever and so so pleased we chose Dean to help us remember our wedding.
Definitely 5- stars!!!!!!!!!

Amazing attention to detail and just a lovely guy :)

Dean was absolutely incredible- our video is everything we could have hoped for and more. We got married on the hottest day ever but Dean smiled all the way through! The quality of the footage is incredible, and the way that the music blends into the voiceovers makes it feel like a cinematic piece. We both had tears in our eyes when we first watched our video. Dean's attention to detail on the day means that we have a video that captures even the smallest of details. Dean was the smiling face that kept us going throughout the day, making us laugh and navigating us throughout the various aspects of the day we had planned. He used innovative angles and mirrors to get shots that we didn't even realise he was filming. The candid footage of our guests enjoying our day is amazing. I would recommend Dean to any of my friends getting married, and wish him all the best.

Couldn’t recommend more - just amazing!!

Our wedding day wouldn’t have been the same without Dean. He was so kind, helpful and just all around good vibes. We had a really small guest list and having some elopement style content was really important to us so we spent a lot of time with just the two of us, Dean and our photographer and they were just so fantastic. Dean braved hours of rain, off-roading, and the wild Scottish highlands for us.

And the videos - just SO good. Our teaser video was brilliant, Dean did a phenomenal job at capturing all the emotions and beauty of our day. When we got our full videos back we were so happy, they are so beautiful and brought back all of the memories. Dean is extremely talented and what he created for us was just the perfect reflection of the types of people we are.
If you aren’t sure about having a videographer, if you can find it in your budget then book Dean - it was one of our best wedding decisions and you won’t regret it!!

Professional and personal service

We spent a long time looking for a videographer for our wedding, we finally found Dean. He was extremely professional and explained the whole process to us. We had an initial call to discuss what we wanted from a wedding video. He was amazing on the day, capturing all of the moments throughout and everything we’d asked for. The edits turned out brilliant and we both loved the final outcome!

We couldnt' recommend Dean more - He was absolutely brilliant in every way!

I spent A LOT of time research videographers and I'm so glad I did as it lead me to Dean. We are over the moon with our wedding video. It meant a lot to us that our videographer captured the feelings and energy of the actual wedding day, which Dean did SO perfectly.
We spent a lot of our actual wedding day with Dean - his calm demeanour combined with his sense of humour, yet subtle presence was just such a pleasure to be around. I'd highly, highly recommend!
