About

Hello! I'm Doug, I run a videography business based in Caerphilly near Cardiff. Offering services to couples for their wedding celebrations. I have many years of experience in filmmaking, recently branching out into weddings. I'm passionate about helping couples create and capture magical memories of their special day. I think it's an absolute treasure to have a cinematic recording of your wedding day that you can look back on and enjoy for years to come.

Services Offered

I currently offer a highlights film that is typically a 5-7 minute film depending on your day and currently I offer this for £900 but I am currently running a special Hitched offer for £700.

I have a strict one-wedding-per-day policy, so every couple gets my undivided attention. I will typically cover from bridal prep all through to the first dance.

If you're interested in having a full recording of your vows and speeches, I have this as an add-on for £200.

A small travel fee may apply for weddings over 50 miles from CF14

I pride myself on politeness, professionalism and an unobtrusive approach that puts guests at ease and allows them to capture all of the candid moments that make each wedding unique.

The Best Experience

We couldn’t have asked for more.
Communication with Doug prior to our wedding was so professional. He took time to ask all the questions to form a picture of what we wanted.
This was followed up by a phone call to check details and make sure we were happy.
Doug joined in the fun at the wedding preparations in the morning and captured some lovely moments. When we saw the video we realised we had forgotten so much of what happened. The day goes past in a flash and we’re so glad we went ahead and hired a videographer.
Doug’s preparation at our venue( Peterstone Court, near Brecon) was seamless. He was unobtrusive but his set up of cameras made sure that he captured everything and everyone, even the dog! The ceremony was outside overlooking the Brecon Beacons so Doug had slightly breezy weather to take into consideration too.
We are very happy with the outcome. We chose the highlight film and also the ceremony and speeches. So glad we did.
By the end of the day we felt like Doug was one of the family. He is so easy to get along with and fitted into our day perfectly.
Highly recommended. Thank you Doug.

Fantastic videographer, highly recommend

Doug was an amazing part of our wedding - from the very first time we spoke with him, he made us feel instantly comfortable. On the day, he was very friendly and lovely to have around, and many of our friends and family commented on this too. Most importantly of all, Doug has provided us with a wedding video that is beautifully shot and edited, which we will treasure forever. Thank you so much Doug!

Doug is Great!!

We had a great experience working with Doug for our wedding video. He was well prepared and brilliant on the day with all of our family and working with our photographer. We are incredibly happy with the results and definitely recommend him for anyone getting married in South Wales! Diolch
