On Hitched.co.uk since 2021

Last update: September 2024

I filmed Miss GB’s Wedding, worked with Ed Sheeran, Coleen Nolan & more.

I have even picked up some awards along the way!

I use small, silent cameras—no complicated rigs or bulky microphones. My equipment is unobtrusive and won't detract from your wedding's beauty. I blend in by dressing the part, avoiding any direction, posing, or cameras pointed in faces. This way, the focus remains on what truly matters: creating a lasting legacy of memories using natural light and real cinematic techniques.

I love getting to know my couples, hearing their stories, and capturing their special day. Every wedding is a unique story, and I can't wait to tell yours

James makes dreams come true

I’m not sure where to start other than i didn’t want working with James to end! From the intro call to the planning meeting, arriving on the day and delivering our special video, working with James has been nothing short of an absolute JOY!

James has the unique ability to be your fun and caring friend on your wedding day whilst still maintaining the highest level of professionalism professional, and not only that, he brings bags of enthusiasm and insane levels of talent. When James had finished shooting our day, we didn’t want him to leave!!

When we received our wedding video, we got to relive our day through the eyes of our guests and the love that was shared - we shed many tears! As my mum sobbed watching the video back she said “he’s captured the joy” - and he really did. I’ve wanted a wedding video since i was a little girl, and James has made that little girl’s dream come true. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, James. 🫶🏼 Love, Mr & Mrs Westerman

James was a true professional from start to finish, he guided us through the process completely stress free with a fun attitude and good vibes.

On the day James was unnoticeable yet perfectly in control of getting the best content to create such a beautiful video for us. All our guest mentioned how professional and relaxed James was.

Absolute Perfection

James is a super talented professional who really bonded with us from the start and understood exactly how we wanted things to look and feel on the day. Our vibe and personality was captured perfectly and the end results are fantastic. We didn’t even know he was there most of the time and he blended in so well. He’s so friendly and kind he felt like family. I would highly recommend James.

Exceptional!

There has not been a single person we have shown our wedding video to who has not been moved to tears! Jame’s attention to detail and ability to capture all those magical moments is unreal! He was able to encompass everything we were looking for in a video without even telling him much! He just knows!! James was also a pleasure to have on the day. He was super easy going and fun to hang out with….basically another guest! Don’t bother looking around for anyone else, just give him a call and you won’t regret it!!

Memories to last a lifetime

James created stunning footage of our day. The communication leading up to it was great and he was really flexible in his approach, happy to slot into the photographers timings. It’s so lovely to look back on all the little moments you miss on the day itself as well as having footage of the precious memories. Thank you so much! We would highly recommend!

James made it so easy for us to trust him to make the perfect wedding video for us, he listened exactly to what we wanted and went above and beyond to deliver it. Outstanding communication and it really felt like he was one of our friends attending the wedding with his bubbly and approachable personality. We received a highlights real the day after our wedding and our wedding video just two days after our wedding which is just unbelievable! I would recommend him to anyone who wants the perfect shots for their special day

Absolutely fantastic films and great videographer!

I couldn’t recommend James David enough! He filmed our wedding on the 10th June and the early shots look superb and were such beautiful quality for the day.
The service we received was brilliant from start to finish, James was extremely helpful and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble and the whole experience was great.

So Very Happy!!

We just clicked with James right from the start and knew he was our man.
We purposely only chose a videographer, as we knew we could take stills from the film, so saved us the cost of a photographer…happy days.

James took a lot of time to be with us and we were well aware that he was extremely capable, yet he listened and was excited for our special day.
We had A LOT going on and he captured it all!!

So far, we’ve only seen snippets of our day and so far it looks truly memorable.

We just know we will be super happy with our final movie….Thank you James ❤️

He will capture unique memories to last a lifetime

A totally unique professional and tailored service. Our wedding was in Cyprus so we had the added benefits of Jamie joining us with our wedding planner ahead of our day. He took time with our family at the hotel and his creativity and excitement about our celebrations blew us away! he's got the most infectious energy and he has the ability to be involved but without you even realising he's there! mainly due to the fact that within hours of being in his company we quickly realised he was going to be a friend for life! every bit of the footage Jamie captured told a story...our fairytale that came true and as cheesy as it sounds he was pivotal in making it all come to life...the most amazing memories made

N&F wedding

James was part of the family as soon as he walked through the door! He was so personable, friendly and his attention to detail was amazing.
We were so happy that James did our videography, he caught so many poignant moments of our day and did a wonderful compilation. So thrilled with the result!
Everyone needs a James for their wedding!

WOW WOW WOW, what a service and man!!

As I say in the title, WOW WOW WOW!!! We are so glad that we used James and we have no regrets whatsoever. From the first time we contacted James he was so helpful, explained everything clearly, worked with us and communicated everything so simply and brilliantly. On the day he worked so hard, but without any fuss, to make sure he captured such beautiful memories. He always had a smile on his face and worked with us so beautifully that it put us at ease and we really enjoyed every moment. I was then expecting a bit of a wait to get the finished films, but no not with James. He worked tirelessly to get the footage over to us, always keeping in contact, and the results were just breathtaking!! I watched both my new wife and there were laughs, a few tears (hod tears) and things on the film that we had either forgotten or not taken in on the day!!!! If you are thinking of filming a special day, then seriously give James a call, you will not be disappointed!!! Said ut before, but from the bottom of our hearts a massive thank you for everything you did, was again an absolute pleasure and you are an absolutely legend. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

Thank you James

James was the videographer at our wedding in August 2024, London, which took place at two venues: the church and the reception. I recommend his services. Here are a few key points that stood out about his work:
1. Disciplined and Responsible: James is a very disciplined and responsible professional. He arrived early to capture footage of the empty streets before the ceremony, setting the mood beautifully. At the church, he prepared his video equipment well in advance. Anyone who has planned a significant event like a wedding knows how crucial it is to have reliable vendors who take your special day seriously.
2. Organized Workflow: James's work was well-organized. From our initial call to the final amendments of the video, everything was clear and timely. There were no delays, which made the entire process stress-free for us.
3. Client-Oriented: James is very client-oriented. He listened to our suggestions and made sure to incorporate our wishes into the final product. For example, I asked him to capture a moment with my groom's mother. He not only captured that interaction but also managed to catch her smile (she smiles not often now) which was incredibly meaningful to us.
4. Technical Expertise: James is an excellent videographer who stays updated with the latest trends in audio and video technology. The audio quality in our video is superb, thanks to the high-quality equipment he provided.
5. Hardworking: James worked tirelessly throughout the entire event, from before 10 a.m. until around 8 p.m. During both the church ceremony and the reception, he captured every significant moment and detail. He didn’t miss a thing and worked diligently every single minute.
As a result, we have amazing footage from which he created a stunning highlight movie
6. James' work was unnoticed. My groom was concerned that filming the event might be intrusive and feel like an endless Instagram shoot. However, in reality, James' approach was very subtle. We hardly noticed the filming, yet he was always around, capturing everything
7. James did very well with the music arrangement and superimposed the speeches onto the video

A legendary videographer, fits in like a wedding guest, and produces incredible videos, capturing the essence of the day!

An absolute legend of a videographer!! James was such a gentleman in how he handled working with us - he was incredibly friendly and took every measure to make sure we felt comfortable with him. This paid off on our wedding day as from the start he slotted himself in very seamlessly. My wife and I even felt like he was a wedding guest - that was how comfortable we were with him! James was also great with working with our photographer, and together they worked amazingly. James gave great guidance, and at times it was just what we needed to have some extra special shots. Finally, James works so efficiently - our videos were finished within a week!!!! An absolute pleasure working with you James - I wish all the best for your career!
