"We don’t even know where to start! Hiring Chris to shoot our wedding video was the BEST decision we made for our wedding. From the first meeting we had to discuss his style and approach, we knew we were on to the right person. Chris’ attention to detail is parallel to none."
"We weren’t originally going to get a videographer but it was worth every penny. The whole day is so much to process that you forget bits after. Having this video to treasure forever was the perfect way to cure the wedding blues."
"Before meeting Chris, we weren’t sure how to appear on film. After working with him, we felt completely comfortable, and he captured every organic moment we wanted."

First things first: choosing the right venue. Essex is packed with incredible wedding venues to suit all styles and tastes.

For timeless elegance, Boreham House provides a stunning Georgian mansion with beautiful gardens perfect for photos.

Be sure to visit a few Essex wedding venues to find the one that feels just right for you.
Capturing every special moment is so important, and having a wedding videographer who knows Essex can make all the difference. Someone familiar with the area can suggest the best spots for those unforgettable shots—like a romantic stroll along the Essex coastline, a serene moment in Epping Forest, or a picturesque scene in the quaint village of Finchingfield.
A videographer who regularly films in Essex will know how to showcase the unique charm of the area, making your wedding video a treasured keepsake you’ll love watching over and over.
Essex has some delicious local treats that can add a unique touch to your wedding menu. Consider serving Tiptree jams from Wilkin & Sons with your scones during afternoon tea, or featuring locally caught seafood from the coast in your main dishes.
Don’t forget about the drinks! Essex boasts fantastic vineyards like New Hall Vineyard in Purleigh, so including local wines can be a delightful addition to your reception. Your guests will love the taste of Essex’s finest.
Essex’s diverse landscapes offer plenty of opportunities to incorporate the outdoors into your wedding. If you’re planning an outdoor ceremony or reception, venues like Hedingham Castle or Hylands House offer beautiful gardens and stunning grounds.
Imagine saying your vows under a canopy of ancient trees or having your first dance under the stars. Your wedding videographer can capture these magical moments, making your wedding film truly special.
We all know that British weather can be a bit unpredictable. Make sure your Essex wedding venue has options for both indoor and outdoor settings, so you’re covered no matter what. Cute umbrellas or stylish wellies can add a fun touch to your day and make for some adorable photos and videos.
Remember, sometimes a little rain can add a touch of romance to your wedding, and unexpected moments often make the best memories!
Adding local traditions can give your wedding a unique twist. Perhaps hire a local Essex folk band to get everyone dancing, or include some traditional Essex coastal elements in your decor, like driftwood centerpieces or seashell accents if you’re near the coast.
Providing wedding favors made by local artisans—like handcrafted chocolates from Wilkin & Sons or bespoke candles from Essex Candle Company—is a lovely way to share a piece of Essex with your guests.
From florists to bakers, Essex is home to amazing local talent. Collaborating with local vendors not only supports the community but ensures you’re getting high-quality, personalized service. They know the area well and can offer great advice to make your day perfect.
At the heart of it all, your wedding is about you and your partner. Don’t hesitate to sprinkle in elements that reflect your personalities. Whether it’s a quirky theme, personalised vows, or a unique guest book idea, make it your own.
Most importantly, take the time to soak it all in. Wedding planning can be a whirlwind, but it’s also filled with moments you’ll cherish forever. Pause, look around, and enjoy the journey!
