On Hitched.co.uk since 2023

Last update: November 2024

I know so many couples that, after their wedding, wish they had more photos and videos of their day and end up trying to contact people from the wedding party for extra shots. What if I told you you could have hundreds and hundreds of videos and photos sent to you within 24 hours of your big day?...

That's where I come in. My name is Charley, and I am The Mystery Guest UK. I am a Wedding & Events Content Creator based in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire. I am happy to travel within Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Suffolk and Norfolk.

Services Offered:

I work to capture all the behind-the-scenes moments of your day, those candid moments, the laughter, the sweet moments of loved ones and those moments as a newly married couple, all in video and photo format. I capture unlimited (and I mean HUNDREDS and HUNDREDs) of videos and photos, which are then all sent to you within just 24 hours of your wedding day!

This means the very next day, you can relive those precious moments and see moments you likely missed. It also allows you and your wedding party to completely unplug and live in the moment, knowing I've got you covered!

With the 8 and 10-hour package, I also provide a 3 minute highlight video of your special day, which includes the music of your choice overlayed.

Are you into sharing on Instagram and TikTok? If so, I can also create trending reels or videos for you to post to your socials. You just need to let me know you want this during the consultation.

The Packages I Offer:

Package 1

5-hour cover (Ceremony to welcome drinks or evening coverage), including wedding consultation.

Package 2

8-hour cover, including wedding consultation and, if requested, 2 reels created for your socials and a 3 minute video highlight of your day.

Package 3

10-hour cover, including wedding consultation and if requested, 3 reels created for your socials, additionally a 3 minute highlight video of your special day.

Lastly, I will be on hand to basically be an additional bestie for your big day. I am not a replacement for a photographer or videographer. I work alongside your suppliers to capture as much content as possible for you to treasure. Because on one of the biggest days of your life - the more content, the better, right!!

If you have any questions, please do let me know!

One of my best wedding decisions

We cannot thank Charley enough for everything she did for us before and on our wedding day, from helping me arrange timings to get the most out of her pictures and videos to arranging my dress for pictures. Charley is so friendly and made me laugh all day long, she was so good at making my husband (who hates having pictures taken) comfortable, she was so thoughtful and included pictures of sentimental items I hadn’t even thought to mention. Some of the pictures and videos I have no idea how she captured! Charley is super organised and came to my wedding in Ireland with zero stress as if it was just down the road, she was so professional and yet it felt like having a friend at the wedding at the same time. If you are in two minds about booking I would absolutely recommend booking Charley immediately you will not regret it. Having an album full of pictures and videos to look through the day after my wedding was amazing and well worth the money. In fact, Charley is worth her weight in gold. I could go on and on and I have recommended her to everyone I speak to, before my wedding guests had even seen the pictures they were talking about booking her for events which I think speaks for itself! Thank you so much Charley for making our special day even more special and capturing such beautiful memories we can keep forever. You have such a talent and we are so pleased we found you in time for our wedding. Lauren & Liam Maher 30.10.24

Lucy & Oliver 7th December 2024

Thank you so much to Charley for capturing our day perfectly. We haven’t stopped watching all the videos back since receiving them. It was so nice to wake up to a full album of all the videos the day after our wedding so we could spend the day rewatching it all.

Two days later we received our full edited video to a song of our choice and it couldn’t have depict our day better!

Charley had us feel at ease the whole time with her calm and friendly personality, you barely even felt like you were being recorded. She is truly amazing at what she does and we highly recommend anyone getting married to have a content creator at their wedding.

Thank you again!

Best booking!

Charley was unbelievable from the start to the end.
Our wedding was one of the first that she did and she was completely professional. Her communication was incredible and the responses to any queries were met as soon as she possibly could.
Even up until the week before, she changed her schedule to accommodate us and stay later than planned.
Charley captured so much behind the scenes that the photographers didn’t manage to capture!
You don’t want her - you need her!

The best decision ever!!!

The biggest regret would have been NOT booking Charley! She is the most kindest, lovely ‘mystery guest’ to have! I honestly cannot thank you enough for even the little things like making sure my dress and veil looked perfect for every photo as well as capturing hundreds of images and videos of our day. The final wedding video I cannot stop watching it’s amazing. You really saw our vision and brought it all to life and we now have so many videos and photos to cherish. We cannot thank you enough

The best supplier we could have got ❤️

We (mainly me) booked Charley after actually finding her through another content creator, she was originally booked for our date but recommended The Mystery Guest!

I messaged Charley and secured her ASAP! It was then another 11 months or so until our wedding, I stalked The Mystery Guest instagram for months, silently watching the content she created for other weddings.

Fast forward to our wedding, we were actually lucky enough to have Charley and Molly on our day. They were brilliant, they hyped us up throughout the whole day but at the same time we totally forgot they were even there. If I had to go back and do the wedding process again, I would probably book The Mystery Guest before the venue, that is honestly how happy we were that we’d booked them. I’ve already started bullying Bride & Grooms to get The Mystery Guest booked because everybody should have them. We haven’t got our professional photos yet and I’ve already had to tell people that the photos we’ve shared aren’t from the Photographer, they are The Mystery Guest.

Matthew (The Groom) might have had no idea at the start what I was talking about when I told him I’d booked a content creator and as much as he hates to admit his wife is right, even he said they were worth every penny.

Charley & Molly, thank you so so much. We both can’t stop looking at the footage.

Future Brides/Grooms, don’t think about it just do it, you won’t regret a thing. You’ll only regret if you don’t!

Incredible from booking to the day!

I am so grateful we booked Charley, her communication was excellent from booking through to delivery the incredible service on the day. We were able to sit together the day after our wedding and go through 100s of photos and videos and see all the behind the scenes moments we would have missed- our personal favourite being our best man running his speech to an empty reception room.. we had no idea!
Charley was so warm and kind and put myself, the groom and the rest of our guests at ease and we have received so many comments about how lovely she was!
The content is amazing, I have so much to share because it’s all just so beautiful! If you’re in doubt about the need for a content creator I recommend 10x over, Charley was worth every single penny. She is amazing at what she does and it was a pleasure to have her as part of our day, thank you so much

The best content creator you could wish for

Having been let down last minute by our videographer on the morning of our wedding; our photographers managed to get Charley in to film the majority of our day and thank god they did! It was an absolute blessing in disguise that we were fortunate enough to end up with this amazing woman. She is simply fantastic. Charley captured the most emotional and best moments of our wedding day in such a beautiful way. The wedding highlight video she created in a matter of days is just perfection. We have rewatched everything a million times, and each time we are filled with such happiness and love. On a personal level; she is the most loveliest person. My husband and I have both come away from our wedding day feeling like we have gained a friend. All our family and friends have mentioned how wonderful she was and we cannot recommend her highly enough!

One of the best things we did for our Wedding Day! ❤️

We can’t thank Charley enough for capturing our day so perfectly and honestly couldn’t recommend her enough. So happy with the content from the photos being so beautifully taken, the videos being amazing and we loved seeing all the behind the scenes of the people we adore at the wedding in a new light!

Charley was so caring, professional and focused on capturing everything we wanted and so so so much more! Blown away by the incredible content we’ve received and couldn’t praise her enough!

Thank you so much for everything you did and capturing our special day so effortlessly and beautifully.

If you’re thinking about booking Charley - let this be your sign that you won’t regret your decision ❤️

Amazing. Highly recommend.

Charley was fantastic! The content we got back, is just absolutely priceless. Not being great on social media, my partner couldn’t really get his head around what Charley did and why I was adamant I wanted her for our day…. Until he saw the footage. He was also blown away, as I knew I would be. He got to see all of the hidden moments from my morning, gift giving, and getting ready. And then I got to see moments though the day I wasn’t present for such as my little one walking down the aisle and seeing daddy. I’m so grateful I get to see his reaction.
We were both amazed by the amount of content received and so quickly! Charley also has some good quirky ideas, if you wanted things a little different to be filmed. We had a video guest book and she got our guests to be very creative and we just belly laughed watching the footage back.
Not only are we over the moon with Charley, she really fitted in to the wedding and got along so well with friends and family. Guest thought we knew her really well and she was a friend. (Although I have now adopted her as one! She’s such a great person who brings great positivity!) HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Thanks again Charley.

If you want a wedding gamechanger, this is it!!

From start to finish, Charley was INCREDIBLE. From the very first message she felt like a friend, just a genuinely lovely soul, and I cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us on our day. Charley joined us when the girls and I were getting ready in the morning, and brought the best vibes and was an amazing cheerleader. I've never felt so comfortable having someone videoing me, but most of the time I didn't even realize as Charley has a real knack for just blending into the background. During our photographs she was really amazing, helping to fluff my train and guiding us on the best poses to do! I really cannot recommend her enough, my only regret is not having her for longer!!! If you're toying with the idea of a content creator, take it from a Bride who was unsure - you will NOT regret it, I mean who doesn't want to wake up the day after their wedding to hundreds of pictures and videos to reminisce the day?? Charley, thank you for being such a wonderful person, and thank you for capturing the most beautiful parts of our day, I could never thank you enough

This lady is everything!

It is really hard to put into words how incredible Charley is and the service she provides. Charley is not only bubbly, calming and hilarious – she is also very creative, extremely present and wonderfully spontaneous – she has a rare ability to bring people out of their shells and make them feel comfortable to just relax, have fun and be themselves.
I felt so looked after by you Charley – the shots you took of us were so unique, and you quickly identified photo opportunities that most people over look. You had challenging conditions to work with on the day, with the torrential rain, but you kept our spirits high all the time!
I am forever grateful for the priceless candid videos you took of me, Simon and our friends and family. These are things I would never of been aware of. Having these arrive the next day caught me off guard – I didn’t realise how much I would appreciate seeing footage that quickly – it was reassuring to me to see everyone having a good time. As the bride it is so overwhelming and it is almost like an out of body experience – so thank you for being my eyes and ears!!
You are essential to every wedding Charley, the service you provide is so unique and special. Not only that, but you continue to be our hype girl, with Instagram stories popping up here and there, reminding us of our day and continuing to make us feel special and proud of our wedding. I know a lot of brides suffer from wedding blues (we have had a couple of weeks since our wedding with covid and a broken [wedding ring] finger), and your posts literally lifted my spirits and reminded me of the good times we have recently had!
So to anyone debating whether to hire Charley – don’t hesitate – you will be inviting one of the kindest, most genuine and sensitive souls into you special day, who will treat your day with the respect, adoration and the enthusiasm you deserve to feel!

Charley was the best money we spent

Charley was the best money we spent on the entire wedding and also incredibly good value for money. Charley was reliable, professional, extremely friendly and also extremely talented. Charley captured the most special moments of the day, moments that would not have been captured otherwise. Little videos of totally natural moments, moments of love and happiness that I can now rewatch for the rest of my life. How special is that?! I definitely think having Charley was just as important as having a photographer and I will be recommending her to everyone I know that is getting married. I hope to see her again one day.

Everyone needs a Charley in their life!

Charley, what a beautiful human being. The most sweetest kindest soul who deserves all the love and praise in the world for what she does! I am SO glad I came across Charley (The Mystery Guest), you made everyone feel so comfortable on the day and you just slotted right into the hustle and bustle and become a friend in the build up to my special day.

Captured hundreds of photos and videos which were delivered to us by early afternoon the day after the wedding (you can’t ask for much more than that!!) with a reel/highlights from the day of the wedding which was such a nice touch. I will shout this from the rooftop over and over, content creators are worth every single penny, we can basically relive our day for years to come almost down to the seconds and having the BTS footage with all the audio will give you a good giggle when watching it back.

If you want someone who will give you their heart and soul for your special day, you need look no further. Charley, thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping capture so many special moments of our day, you helped make our day perfect!

Perfectly captured our special day!

I cannot recommend Charley enough! Not only did she capture all our moments (big and small) whilst also capturing all the moments I wasn’t there to witness, but it was like having an extra friend there on the day to help you and make your life easier. Charley was professional, friendly and, above all, did a fantastic job and definitely knows what she’s doing! I can relive those memories through her photos and videos whenever I please now. Thank you Charley, we are over the moon we made the amazing decision to book you for our wedding! :)
