Wedding Videography Across Somerset & Bath
since 2012
Natural Wedding Films & Photography Across Somerset & Bath
Looking for a Somerset wedding videographer but don’t want your wedding day to feel like a film production?
One person. One story. Photography + Film.
I create relaxed, natural wedding highlight films alongside my photography, capturing the atmosphere, emotions and little moments that photographs can’t quite tell on their own.
Rather than having a separate photographer and videographer following you around all day, I can capture both your photographs and film myself. It’s a simple, unobtrusive approach that lets you enjoy your wedding without feeling like you’re constantly performing for a camera.
I’m based in Somerset and cover weddings throughout Bath, Somerset and the surrounding South West, documenting each day naturally and focusing on genuine moments rather than staging them.
Wedding Videography Without the Big Production
You might love the idea of having a wedding film, but not the idea of adding another supplier, another camera and another person following you around all day.
That’s exactly why I offer hybrid wedding photography and film.
While I’m photographing your wedding, I’ll also capture short pieces of video throughout the day. These moments are brought together into a beautifully edited 3–5 minute wedding highlight film, giving you something completely different to your photographs.
There’s no big production crew and no constant direction.
Just one familiar face quietly documenting everything as it naturally unfolds.
What Is a Hybrid Wedding Highlight Film?
Hybrid wedding coverage simply means that I capture both photography and video during your wedding day.
Your photographs remain the priority, but alongside them I’ll capture short video clips of the moments where movement, sound and atmosphere add something photographs can’t.
That could be the excitement while you’re getting ready, the moment you walk down the aisle, confetti flying through the air, laughter during the speeches or everyone finally letting loose on the dance floor.
I then edit these clips together into a 3–5 minute highlight film that tells the story of your wedding.
It’s not about recording every minute.
It’s about capturing how your wedding felt.
Wedding Videographer or Hybrid Wedding Film?
A hybrid highlight film isn’t intended to replace traditional full-day wedding videography.
If you want your entire ceremony and speeches recorded from multiple cameras, with dedicated audio and a much longer finished film, I’d recommend booking a specialist wedding videographer.
My hybrid approach is different.
It’s for couples who want their photography to remain the priority, but would also love a professionally edited film that captures the movement, emotion and atmosphere of the day.
Traditional wedding videography
- A dedicated videographer
- Video is the primary focus
- Often longer-form films
- Multiple cameras and additional equipment
- A separate photographer is normally required
My hybrid photography & film
- One photographer and filmmaker
- Photography remains the priority
- A 3–5 minute highlight film
- Minimal, unobtrusive equipment
- No additional videographer following you around
For many couples, it’s the perfect middle ground between wedding photography and full-day videography.
Wedding Videography Across Somerset & Bath
I photograph and film weddings throughout Somerset, Bath and the surrounding South West, from historic city venues and beautiful country houses to relaxed countryside celebrations.I’ve captured weddings at venues including The Roman Baths, Temple of Minerva, Bath Spa Hotel, Priston Mill, The Guildhall Bath, The Royal Crescent Hotel, St Michael’s Without, Grow Wilder, Glastonbury Weddings & Events, Gliffaes Country House Hotel and Denbies Wine Estate, as well as venues further afield including the Tower of London and Southampton Registry Office.
Wherever I’m working, my approach remains the same: relaxed, natural and unobtrusive, allowing me to capture the atmosphere of your day without making you feel like you’re constantly being filmed.
Somerset Wedding Highlight Films
Wedding days go ridiculously quickly.
There are moments you’ll remember forever and others you’ll barely realise happened until you see them afterwards.
That’s one of the things I love about adding film to photography.
Your photographs freeze those moments, while film gives you the movement, atmosphere, laughter and little interactions happening around them.
A short highlight film lets you experience that feeling again without having to sit through hours of footage.
Here are a few of the weddings I’ve photographed and filmed, so you can get a feel for how my hybrid approach works in real life.
One of the biggest advantages of my hybrid approach is simplicity.
You don’t need to coordinate a separate photographer and videographer or have two people working around you throughout the day.
It’s just me.
I’ll photograph the moments that deserve to be frozen in time, while capturing film where movement, sound and atmosphere help tell the story.
That means less equipment, fewer people and a much more relaxed experience.
His images and videos are stunning
Derryn is the most amazing and talented photographer and videographer. He’s very calm and collected even though our wedding was chaotic. His images and videos are stunning and he delivered them so quickly. Thank you so much Derryn!

Highlight Film
Because I’m already there photographing your wedding, I can capture the film alongside your photography rather than requiring a completely separate videography team.
The length of your highlight film depends on the amount of wedding photography coverage you book, with shorter coverage resulting in a 1–2 minute highlight film and longer coverage allowing for a 3–5 minute film.
Whatever the length, the aim is the same: to capture the moments, atmosphere, movement and emotion that bring your wedding day back to life.
Here’s why couples love including a highlight film
One person, two services.
You get beautiful photography and meaningful video footage without the price or presence of a full film team. No extra people, no extra kit, no stress.
Completely unobtrusive.
I film with a small, lightweight camera, with no tripods or bulky equipment getting in the way of your guests or the moments happening around you.
Ceremony audio & speech snippets where possible.
I’ll do my best to capture real audio from your ceremony and short clips from the speeches, adding even more emotion and authenticity to your film.
Beautiful, licensed music.
Your highlight film is edited to professionally licensed music that complements the mood and storytelling.
Photography and film captured together.
Because I’m already there photographing your wedding, I can capture video naturally throughout the day without bringing along a separate videography team.
Drone footage where possible.
Weather, location and permissions allowing, I can include aerial footage to give you another perspective of your venue and surroundings.
This is the perfect choice for couples who want the emotion of video without the price tag or presence of a full videography team. Your highlight film is a beautiful, effortless way to relive your wedding day through movement, sound and feeling.
