From the moment I spoke to John, I felt comfortable. Thank you so much, John, we are very thankful. I hope to use your services in the future’. Mark and Darcie

• ‘We HIGHLY recommend John as a wedding videographer! In the lead up to our wedding, he was absolutely lovely to deal with – he was organised, friendly and professional. Our wedding day itself was literally turned upside down by Covid-19 and John’s flexibility, creativity, positivity and efficiency were a huge help to us! We are so glad we chose to have a videographer at our wedding and can’t wait to share the videos with our family and friends – especially those who unfortunately could not join us on the day due to the pandemic. John is a brilliant wedding videographer and a genuinely lovely person’. Stephanie Lillis
