Dave Weatherley Award Winning videographer

Dave getting the best angle

Hello I'm Dave and thank you for visiting my website.

I've been filming for over forty years and filming weddings for 20 years. I thoroughly enjoy videoing weddings and interacting with people.

Please take a look through some of my films. Trailers, to full documentary style films. I see my filmmaking (wedding videos) as a way of telling a story in movement, and they will hopefully make you laugh, cry or something in between. I love creating and developing the perfect video for you. I film and edit all the weddings myself and my prices are modest and affordable.

Add some drone footage and you get some stunning aerial scenes that enhances your wedding film.

I have won several awards for my wedding films and customer service, over the past years. I was voted wedding videographer of the year northwest in 2021 and 2022. It was a great honour and privilege. It was my brides and grooms who voted for me, it was so humbling, I thank each and everyone of them. I have now been nominated for 2023.

They say if you do something you love, then you'll never work a day in your life. Whilst the sentiment is probably true, whoever wrote it clearly hasn't been up past midnight editing weddings 7 days a week.....

The feedback I have had from my work has been amazing. I set out filming weddings to provide a friendly, relaxed, professional service and I love doing it. I blend in, I have fun, and I enjoy myself. Why?

Well, simply, I love what I do - but it also makes everyone else relax so much more, and the candid footage comes so much easier. It's a win win, some people play up to a camera, which can be entertaining; others don't know they were on camera.

I have filmed several high-end weddings, with celebrities as guests or part of the main wedding party and have filmed weddings all over the UK and some as far away as the Philippines, Italy, France and Mallorca.

I film weddings alone or with a second camera operator. This reflects on the packages that I can offer. At some stage of the day or prior to the wedding I will get drone footage of the venue and any other requests you may have.

I also offer a Film and Photo package. Please check this out as it offers more flexibility on pricing.

So, if I sound like the sort of videographer you'd like at your wedding, please get in touch or give me a call. It would be great to hear from you.

Just another day at the office!

I must say our wedding film is absolutely amazing! It's far far better than we imagined! Your attention to detail and the drone and slow motion parts are fabulous. Thank you so much for all your hard work, we really do appreciate it! We will certainly recommend you 100%.

Thank you Dave for our incredible wedding video. We watched it last night for the first time and WOW what a way to relive our day! The video allows us to see things we never knew happened or had forgotten and hearing the speeches again had us in stitches. The footage is amazing and the drone shots of Askham Hall are outstanding. We can't recommend Dave enough, if you are wondering if you should get a video of your big day, do not hesitate, there is no other way to relive the best day of your life, as believe me the day goes so fast. Thank you so much.
