Jack Smithies - yorkshire wedding videographer

uk Wedding Videography

by Jack Smithies

Welcome!

I’m Jack, a wedding videographer based in the rolling hills of West Yorkshire. I deliver bespoke wedding films to couples across the UK.

With a passion for videography for over 15 years, I am dedicated to delivering films that are of the highest cinematic quality and individually customised to you and your wedding day.

“I can honestly say booking Jack as our videographer was the best decision we made.”

Kerry & Jack

My films blend beautiful cinematic compositions with a mostly chronological narrative that captures the natural unfolding of your wedding day. Music is carefully crafted to provide the perfect backdrop and spoken words are constructed to tell your unique stories.

My efforts go far beyond creating a beautiful highlight film; I offer a variety of other films, all made with the same attention to detail and high standards that define my work

- CORE VALUES -

Winter wedding film

  • It is my mission to make incredible films and I don't settle for anything less – I’m all about going that extra mile. I get to know you to understand what is important to you and I’m more than happy to assist with your wedding plans where possible. I’m with you for the whole day, making sure every shot tells your story. The editing process is thorough, with every single one of your films getting the VIP treatment with equal dedication and attention to detail.

  • Your choice in videographer is extremely important. Not only are you entrusting them to capture your important memories, but you are also inviting them in to one of the most special events in your lives. The strong connection I establish with my couples not only helps me portray their unique bond in my films but helps them to feel completely comfortable with my presence on the day. I actively encourage communication; I want to hear about your wedding plans and your hopes for your films.

  • I love interacting with people and celebrating with you but often the best wedding films come from capturing things candidly.  It’s important that you and your guests can relax without the obvious pressure of being filmed. I’m quite camera-shy myself so I completely understand the importance of a non-intrusive approach. Sometimes couples prefer a bit of gentle instruction to remove any awkwardness and that’s something I can certainly help with. My experience has taught me to read the room and approach filming in the most respectful manor; it doesn’t just get the best results, but it allows people to fully enjoy the day!

Wedding videographer filming with a relaxed unobtrusive approach

  • Your wedding films are an investment for the rest of your lives. As a wedding videographer, I am truly dedicated to my craft, investing in my equipment, skills and services and pouring that value into my couples and their films. I film a very limited number of weddings each year to ensure I can give every single one of my couples and their films the attention they deserve. No single film is prioritised over another, and countless hours are poured into creating your perfect film gallery that you will cherish forever.

“The video is everything I wanted and more. It’s honestly perfect.”
