Kind Words

We have been meaning to write to you for some time now to express our gratitude for the incredible work you did at our wedding but I have never felt able to write how much it means to us. Words simply cannot do justice to how much we love the video you created for us. It is truly the most special memory that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

We were initially hesitant about hiring a videographer for our wedding, but it has proven to be one of the best decisions we made throughout the planning process (second only to choosing you as our videographer!). The day was such a whirlwind, and the video has been able to ground it in our minds and fill in the gaps for us. It captures the feel of the whole wedding so beautifully and we have watched it countless times already. Before the wedding, you were so helpful and put us at ease with your understanding of what we were looking for. On the day itself, you were amazing. In the best way, we hardly noticed you while we were moving around. I was worried that I might feel self-conscious being filmed while getting ready, but you were such a lovely and friendly presence that I barely noticed the camera. My bridesmaids also commented on how they hadn’t noticed you capturing some of the moments that ended up in the video. It was especially fun to see the moments when I wasn’t present, such as the ushers’ lunch and the church filling up. You have a truly amazing way of being completely in the background while still being a supportive presence. The time we spent with you and the photographer were some of our favourite moments of the day.

Again, thank you so much for your hard work and for creating this special memory for us. It is so perfect and emotional- people keep telling us that they have shown it to people we don’t even know who have cried at it! We are truly grateful and will recommend you to anyone in need of a videographer.

We were absolutely over the moon with the quality of the service James Smith provided. His filming of our wedding on 21st May 2022 was like a movie and our family and friends agreed, there weren’t many dry eyes when watching it. You can absolutely tell that James puts his heart into his work and he was able to capture our love story and joy we felt on our wedding perfectly. We can’t recommend James enough to capture your big day. James has outstanding talent and we will cherish these videos forever- thank you!

I wanted to sit down and write this email in peace because I really wanted to articulate our true feelings for the work you did.

We cannot express enough how grateful we are for the beautiful wedding films you created for us. From the moment I met with you, we knew that you were the perfect fit for capturing our special day and preserving our memories for a lifetime.

Your attention to detail and creativity was evident in every frame of the film. The way you captured the essence of our love story, our families and friends, and the magical atmosphere of the day was truly remarkable. You not only recorded the events of the day but captured the emotions and the love that surrounded us.

We were also extremely impressed by your professionalism and your ability to work seamlessly with our photographers and other vendors. Your positive energy and calm demeanor made everyone feel at ease and allowed you to capture the most candid and spontaneous moments.

Watching the film has brought us back to that special day and has allowed us to relive all of the memories, laughter, and tears. It’s a testament to your talent and passion for what you do.

We are so grateful that we chose you as our wedding videographer, and we cannot thank you enough for creating a film that we will cherish forever. Your work is truly a masterpiece and we cannot recommend you enough to future couples.

Thank you for giving us a lifetime of memories.

My husband was hesitant about booking a videographer but boy has he changed his tune, and I am so glad I stood my ground!

James produced a stunning video which captured every little detail of the most special day of our lives. It honestly felt like it could be a movie with the incredible editing and sound; so emotive.

After watching our 5 minute video, ceremony and speeches I knew I wanted more, and asked James if we could upgrade to receive a 20 minute feature film and cute instagram reel. It did not disappoint.

James’ party piece was us hardly noticing his presence during the entire day, he found the perfect angles and positions to capture both the bridal party and all our guests throughout.

A few tears (of joy) were shed on the big day and once again whilst my husband and I watched the video, over and over. Thank you James, you nailed it.

Choosing to have James do our videography for our wedding was one of the best choices we made. His work was absolutely amazing!! The videos really brought it all back, plus showed some parts we missed on the day - which is exactly what we wanted.

The final videos were astonishing and really moving. We’re still speechless with how great they are 🙂

Thanks again James for being part of the big day and we 100% made the right call picking you to capture it.

I had my wedding on the 21-12-21. I received my weddings footage from James for the new year and I CANNOT express how happy I am with the videos. Literally brought tears to my eyes and most of my family members who watched it back too! There has not been a day I haven’t watched the videos James Smith made for us. I really really really, 100 percent recommend James Smith Weddings to be your wedding videographer. He was so professional and organised. There was not one thing I could think of that went went wrong. I even noticed shots I wouldn’t have imagined he could get. So for that reason - 100000000000000000 🌟’s!

If anyone is unsure about whether or not to go for a wedding video then I cannot insist enough that it will be the best decision you make when planning your wedding!
We have been blown away by the videos that James has created for us - both the short and feature films have made for an emotional watch after the day and I am so grateful for all moments that James has captured which we can now treasure forever. Absolutely beautiful cinematography. He really listened to everything that was important to us, right down to the kind of music that we liked, and we couldn’t have asked for a more professional and discreet way of working on the day. Thank you so much, James! We really cannot recommend you enough.

James is absolutely brilliant. We had James recently as our wedding videographer and I can’t recommend him more. His videos are just beautiful and the way he has captured our day is like a fantastic cinematic documentary. I have cried every time I’ve watched it and so has our friends and family we have sat and watched it with. It keeps the day alive forever and the emotions and magic have been immortalised. Have James as your wedding videographer!!!

James is incredible! A super talented, genuinely nice guy and we could not be happier with how our videos turned out.
James listened to everything we wanted and produced the most amazing footage for our special day. It has been wonderful to re-live every moment and the reaction from our friends and family has been unbelievable even bringing some to tears...again!
Don’t hesitate, book James, you won’t regret it!!
— Jenny & Dan
I cannot recommend James enough for your wedding videography! Not only is he one of the kindest and nicest people I have ever met, he is extremely talented and absolutely amazing at what he does! Watching our videos from our wedding bought tears to our eyes, they are absolutely stunning! We are so happy that we found James to capture our special day. Thank you, you are incredible xx
— Gemma Underwood
I could not have asked for a more beautiful piece to help me remember the day. You have captured our friends and family so perfectly, and totally saw and understood my vision. I think Ive watched the video about 100 times!

You are a very talented man and I’m so pleased we found you!

James was a complete professional from our initial consultation through to interaction on the wedding day itself. We couldn’t believe the quality of shots, drone footage and audio captured; all in a subtle and unobstructive manner. We absolutely love the 20 minute feature film he produced and whilst everyone thinks to prioritise booking a decent photographer on their wedding day; I now think that booking the right videographer is of greater importance - for which I would certainly recommend James Smith.
— James Heyes
Wow, what can we say? The videos are absolutely amazing. They totally exceeded our expectations and really helped to make our day one that we will never forget. You captured so many beautiful moments, ones that we remember and others that we have forgotten. We have just cried for the past hour watching the videos and have already watched the trailer three times. Your work is stunning and we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for doing this for us. We are so grateful that we have this to remember for the rest of our lives and can not wait to share it with our friends and families.
