Wedding Videography & Films

Real Life, Real Cinema
By York Place Films
Unscripted Cinema

Real life has more character than any script.

We focus on the comedy, the connection, and the chaotic energy that make your relationships unique. We believe a wedding film should capture the true atmosphere of the event—the laughter, the movement, and the moments that actually happened.

By treating your wedding like a live event rather than a film set, we create a narrative that feels less like a traditional wedding video and more like a movie of your best memories. Unscripted, unposed, and completely you."

The Stories Within the Story

THE ART OF PEOPLE WATCHING
We are observers, not directors. We turn our cameras outward to find the layers, the humour, and the split-second interactions that define your relationships.
THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE CROWD
The true spirit of a wedding lives in the guests, not just the couple. We capture the characters, the banter, and the chaotic energy of the room.
THE MOMENTS YOU MISSED
From the nervous anticipation of the morning to the raucous laughter on the dancefloor, we film the stories you didn't even know were happening.

If you’re debating which wedding videographer to go with, go no further! Matt & Alex are the people you want! There are no words to say how amazing our wedding film is! I couldn’t have asked for anything more special to capture our day and they put it together magically!
On the day they worked so professionally and discreetly, you won’t know anyone’s there with a camera!
Thank you both for everything, I would recommend you a million times over!

How We Craft Your Film

01. The Filming

We shoot on small, cinema-grade cameras that allow us to blend into the crowd. No tripods, no gimbals, no bright lights. Just discreet, observational filmmaking that lets your guests relax.

02. The Audio

This is our secret weapon. With Matt’s background as a professional Theatre Sound Designer, we treat your audio with the same precision as a stage production. We don't just record speeches; we build a sonic landscape, weaving your vows and ambient sounds into a seamless narrative soundtrack.

03. The Edit

This is where the magic happens. We spend weeks crafting your footage into a narrative story. We don't use templates; we build the edit around the unique energy and emotion of your specific celebration.

Wedding Videography FAQ

A: Yes, we are destination wedding videographers and travel all over the UK and Europe. From London to Lake Como, we go where the story is.

Soundtrack to video created in Adobe Audition - York Place Films

A: To tell the best story, we score the film for you. With Matt’s experience in Theatre Sound Design, we treat the music as a dramatic tool—using it to build atmosphere exactly where the story needs it. Whether it’s a cinematic instrumental to let the vows breathe or a lyrical track to lift the energy, we choose music that fits the unique rhythm of your day.

A: Never. We believe the best footage comes when you forget the camera exists. We don’t direct, prompt, or ask you to repeat things. We blend into the background to capture the real interactions between you and your guests, allowing you to enjoy your party without feeling like you’re on a film set.

Wedding Photographers Dom & Liam Shaw

A: Yes. Unlike agencies that pair strangers together, we are a close-knit family team (Matt, Alex, Dom & Liam). We move instinctively around one another to ensure we never block a shot or crowd your space.

This teamwork allows for our unique Hybrid Support. While Dom is your photographer, she acts as a second set of eyes for the video team—capturing video clips during prep if Matt is elsewhere, or monitoring cameras during speeches. This ensures you get the comprehensive coverage of a larger team, but with the discretion and intimacy of a solo filmmaker.
