Meet Josh

wedding videographer Joshua jenkins

I’m a wedding videographer from Sussex, now based in Cumbria. When my wife and I got married, we ditched tradition and created a laid-back, fun weekend with family and friends. That’s the same approach I bring to my wedding films—helping couples create a day that reflects who they are.

My journey into wedding videography began when a friend asked me to live-stream their wedding during the pandemic, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I focus on capturing real moments with a cinematic touch, helping couples feel comfortable so their true emotions shine through.

When I’m not filming, I’m out hiking in the Lake District with my wife. If you’re ready for a wedding film that’s as unique as your story, let’s chat!

FAQs

Why should we hire a wedding videographer if we already have a photographer?

Photos capture a single moment in time, but video allows you to relive your special day in full. With a wedding videographer, you can experience the laughter, tears, and emotions all over again, from hearing the bride and groom's vows to enjoying speeches that bring the celebration to life. Wedding videographers add a layer of storytelling that photos alone cannot. While working closely with photographers, the video captures the movement, sound, and atmosphere of the day, preserving memories in a way that feels like you're stepping back into the moment.

How do you make sure we feel comfortable in front of the camera?

I prioritise making you feel at ease, so by the time your wedding arrives, it feels more like a friend is capturing your special day. As your wedding videographer, I'll guide you through the process, offering reassurance while keeping things natural. Whether I'm filming the bride getting ready or the FoB's first look, I create a comfortable environment to capture your true selves. During editing, only the most authentic and beautiful moments make it into your cinematic wedding film.

What’s included in your wedding videography packages?

My wedding videography packages are comprehensive and transparent. Everything listed on the website is included, so there are no hidden fees. You’ll receive full coverage of your celebration, from the bride and groom’s preparations to the evening festivities. I offer a range of cinematic wedding films tailored to your needs, ensuring the final product reflects the quality and professionalism you expect from a wedding videographer.

How do you capture candid moments in wedding videos without being intrusive?

As a Lake District Wedding Videographer, I use a long lens, I film from a distance to stay out of sight while capturing the real, intimate moments of your celebration. With years of experience, I’ve learned to anticipate key moments and capture them naturally. The goal of wedding videographers is to document the day without directing it, allowing you and your guests to enjoy the special day without feeling self-conscious.

What makes your wedding films different from others?

My approach is all about storytelling. I don’t just create a visual montage—I weave together the sounds, speeches, and laughter of your special day into a cinematic wedding film that tells the story of the bride, groom, and the unique moments that make your day one-of-a-kind. My goal as a wedding videographer is to create something that you’ll cherish for a lifetime, full of personal details that bring your memories to life.

Can we customise our wedding videography package?

Absolutely! My packages are just a starting point. Whether you have specific requests or need to work within a budget, we can chat about creating something that fits your vision. I want to make sure you get a wedding film that’s meaningful to you.

How long does it take to receive our wedding video?

Typically, I deliver the final video in 2-4 weeks, depending on the season. You’ll receive a teaser within 72 hours so you can relive those first magical moments right away.

Do you travel for weddings, and what are the costs?

Yes! For weddings in Cumbria and Gretna, travel is included. Outside of those areas, I charge 50p per mile from Carlisle. I’m happy to travel anywhere in the UK. Take a look at my blog post on Lake District Wedding Venues for inspiration.

Can we choose the music for our wedding film?

Yes and no. I can license certain songs for your film, but I need to adhere to copyright laws. Most couples let me choose music that fits the tone and feel of the film, and I ensure it complements your day beautifully.

What makes your wedding films different from others?

My films are narrative-driven. I don’t just create a montage to music—I include audio from the day, interviews, and real moments to tell your story. You’ll hear the voices of your loved ones, from your dad’s thoughts before walking you down the aisle to the best man hyping up the party. My goal is to create a personal, authentic film that brings your memories to life for years to come.

How do you approach filming intimate moments without making it feel staged?

I don’t stage anything. I’ll guide you to beautiful locations at your venue and give gentle prompts, but I focus on letting you be yourselves. The best moments often happen when you’re relaxed and forget the camera is there. I create an atmosphere that allows you to enjoy the day without feeling like you’re performing.

Do you offer drone footage as part of your wedding videography?

Yes, drone footage is available, weather permitting and depending on any flight restrictions in the area. It's common for a wedding videographer or photographer to use drones at weddings.

How long do you stay on the wedding day?

Typically, I'm a wedding videographer that will arrive an hour or two before the ceremony to capture the venue and preparations and stay until after the first few dances. Different packages offer varying levels of coverage, but I use these as guides—not hard rules. I’ll stay until I feel your story is fully captured.

What happens if it rains or there’s bad weather?

Rain or shine, I’ll be there! I adapt to the conditions, whether that means capturing cozy indoor moments or embracing the weather outside. Sometimes, bad weather makes for the most memorable footage.

Can we request specific shots or moments to be included in the video?

Absolutely! If there’s something specific you want to capture—whether it’s a moment or a particular guest who's dancing is absolutely incredible —let me know in advance and I’ll make sure it’s included.

Do you offer highlight reels or just full-length films?

I offer both! My films vary in length and focus on capturing the most memorable parts of your day in an easily watchable format. Full-length recordings of the ceremony and speeches are also available in some packages.

What’s your process for working with couples from the first consultation to delivery?

We start with a consultation where I listen to your ideas and learn about your wedding plans. On the day, I keep things relaxed and low-pressure, letting you enjoy the moment while capturing everything. Afterward, I work on editing your film to reflect the best parts of the day, delivering something you’ll cherish for years to come.

How do you ensure the video reflects our personalities and story?

I focus on capturing you—your venue, your friends, your vows, and the little details that make your day unique. By filming what matters most to you, I ensure that your personalities come through in the final film.

Why aren't you an award winning wedding videographer?

Thanks, it's very kind you think I'm award winning worthy! The truth is that most awards are paid for or simply based on how many reviews you get. This means the busiest win the awards, or those willing to pay and enter and encourage people to vote. Essentially, 'award winning' doesn't necessarily mean best and I've not entered any to date, so haven't won either!

What format will we receive our wedding video in?

You’ll receive your wedding video digitally and on a USB, making it easy to share and store in a way that suits you.

Do you offer raw footage along with the final edited video?

No, I don’t provide raw footage. It’s usually unpolished and not suitable for viewing and as a wedding videographer, I don't think you should see unfinished work. The best moments are carefully selected and edited into the final film. If there’s something specific you want included, just let me know in advance, and I’ll make sure it’s featured.
