Documentary wedding filmmaker based in York

Now then! I'm Ollie.

I film weddings the way they actually happen. No posing, no direction, no camera stuck in your face. Just the real thing, captured honestly, so you can watch it back and feel like you're there again. I film across Yorkshire, with full-day films from £1,750.

A friend with a camera, not a film crew

Most couples haven't been filmed for eight hours before, and the thought of it makes people nervous. I stay out of the way, keep my kit small and quiet, and let your day carry on as normal, so the vows nobody quite remembers and your nan losing it on the dance floor end up in the film, because that's what actually happened.

Filming weddings in York

York is where my roots are, and I've been filming weddings here for 18 years. It holds a rare mix of history, romance and beauty, which makes it the perfect canvas for wedding films that feel both classic and personal, pairing the city's atmosphere with your love story.

Every frame I capture in York is there to bring out the beauty of your day and the emotions that make it unforgettable. When you press play years from now, I want you to feel as if you're right back in York, surrounded by the people you love, reliving every moment.

Getting married in or around York? See the venues I film at, from city guildhalls to country houses and barns, or read about filming weddings across Yorkshire.

Are We A Good Fit?

Honestly? Probably. But let's check.

This sounds like you if…

Yes

Weddings should feel like weddings, not a performance for the lens.

Yes

You'd rather forget I'm there than pose for every shot.

Yes

You want a film you'll actually rewatch, not just admire once and forget.

Yes

You're marrying in Yorkshire and want someone who knows the venues and the vibe.

No

Peace of mind

The bit that puts your mind at rest

You don't need to know how any of this works. You just need to know your day is covered from every angle, with nothing left to chance.

I bring Five cameras

Multiple cameras roll through your ceremony and speeches. I bring a drone too. So the reaction, the glance, the moment from above is never the one that got missed.

6

Every word, crystal clear

Six broadcast-grade wireless microphones capture your vows and speeches clearly, with nothing bulky in shot and no wires taped to anyone.

1

Passed round, not set up

A retro guest cam is passed from hand to hand around your reception, catching the spontaneous, unfiltered moments I'd never see from behind my own camera.

3

Never lost, never at risk

Every file is backed up in three separate places the same day it is filmed, on site and off site to the cloud, so your footage is never left to chance.

What couples say

"

In the nicest possible way, it genuinely felt like he wasn’t even there during the day, he blended in so naturally and never intruded on a single moment, which made us feel completely at ease.

BL, Google review

Very friendly, makes you feel at ease and goes unnoticed, but in a good way as you don’t have the camera in your face.

Nicola & Simon, Google review

The final videos are exceptionally high quality and truly capture the essence of our day. We couldn’t be happier to have had Ollie capture it all!
