Don't worry about being in front of the camera

The best photographs happen when you're fully present. Trust your suppliers, enjoy the celebrations and let me capture the moments you'll treasure forever.
Hear From Couples Married at Silchester Farm
"Charlie was the videographer for our wedding, and we would highly recommend him to any couple! We initially hadn't planned for a videographer, but after some friends suggested it would be worth doing, we are SO pleased we did. Charlie was fantastic on the day, putting us right at ease, particularly as we're not normally people who like to be in front of the camera. Our highlights video is so stunning and such an amazing depiction of our day - capturing it so beautifully. We also booked the package for the ceremony and speeches, which we're really pleased we did. The day is such a whirlwind, so it's so nice to be able to look back on the key moments. We're so grateful to Charlie for capturing our day and producing amazing videos that we'll cherish forever!."

“We absolutely love all the photos. We looked through them whilst we were having breakfast in the sunshine in Wales. You and Dan did such an amazing job of capturing the essence of the day and some beautiful moments that we wouldn’t have known happened if you hadn’t been there. We are so grateful to you both and the final shots are out of the world. We cannot thank you both enough. They are exactly the kind of photos we were hoping for. “
