Information For James O'Halloran Studios

I love making cinematic looking films that have all the joy and emotion that you inevitably get on your wedding day.

The only thing I can add here is that I love the challenge of trying to give my couples wedding film(s) that hopefully give them the feeling of the happiness and love that they experienced on the day. Of course that's an impossible task as nothing can replicate that feeling; but it's a wonderful moment in my job when a couple tell me that they got a glimpse of that love again whilst watching their films. I take it as a good sign that if I'm getting goosebumps whilst watching it back then it'll probably be right for my couples.

Despite spending almost 10 years working as a director in film and TV, it wasn’t till a few years ago that I found my perfect job - creating cinematic, joyous and emotional wedding films. I've found that the best shots don't just come from the gorgeous locations or that perfect moment when the sunlight backlights your flowing hair (although that helps), but by creating a great rapport with the couples. Hitched Wedding Awards 2023 Winner. I give all couples a minimum of 12 hours coverage on all packages. In my opinion Prices currently starting from £995. I offer 4 packages, ranging from a short highlights film to an (approx) 1 hour film which includes all speeches and the ceremony. if you'd like more info let me know and I can send you the packages and talk through what would be best for you.

Top Wedding Tips

See if you can get a wonderfully organised, but not too bossy, bridesmaid to help organise everyone on the day.

See if you can get a bridesmaid/groomsmen/parent/gran to pack snacks or possibly even a toastie for you.

There's no point in me saying to relax as I remember how nervous I was on my wedding day; but the moment my wife walked down the aisle then life just slotted into place and it will for you too.

Lucie & James
Highly recommend!
We organised our wedding and babies christening in one very last minute, and found James O’Halloran studios just weeks before our wedding online. We asked if he would be available and as it was a Sunday in December he had the day free. We were anxious at first as we found him online and not through recommendations but the moment I spoke to him I knew he was trustworthy and I was so excited about the video. We spoke beforehand and ran through everything thoroughly and James put me at ease with everything and was always there if I had any questions and got back to me so quickly. On the day James arrived promptly and was so lovely and friendly. He fitted in perfectly and worked so well with the photographer. He was discreet and was there to help on the day with anything we needed. Our sneak peak video was ready within weeks and we were soooo impressed and couldn’t believe it. It was so intricate and captured the day perfectly. When we received the full video a few weeks late we were blown away. It Thank you so much James for such a fantastic service. We will be sure to contact you again for any other weddings or events within our family. We can’t thank you enough!

James The Great
ames did our wedding on Saturday 8th February 2020 and it is not an exaggeration to say this man is not just a videographer, he is a magician. I found him via Google search late last year and after watching the videos on his site I told my wife, "this is the guy". So we booked him, and close to the wedding we spoke briefly to explain what would happen on the day.

On the wedding day he was extremely professional, punctual, friendly, helpful beyond his remit and collaborative with the photographers.

After the day I had full confidence that he will make a video for my wife and I to cherish, on our minimoon I said to her that he will make it magical. The biggest compliment I can give is that he did just that. I was suffering from a little bit of post wedding blues and the video cured that and reminded me just how great a day it was. The music selection accompanying the video was perfect, he even made me look like a half decent dancer which in itself is sorcery because I was born with two left feet. There is not a single thing I would change about it. I will be forever thankful to him.

Trust James to make your day even more special.

Strongly recommend!
Our wedding video is so beautiful, better than I could have imagined. Something we will treasure forever. He wasn't intrusive at all on the day, in fact I barely noticed him which was exactly what I wanted. And he was super flexible in the run up to the wedding - would definitely recommend

Excellent quality and great service!
James did an incredible job of capturing our wedding ceremony and celebrations! He was relaxed, easy to be around and got our videos to us quickly with a fantastic result. We’ve loved being able to share these with our friends and family - especially those who couldn’t attend. So lovely to be able to re-live such a special day. James, we can’t thank you enough!

Beautiful result
So so thrilled with the fantastic results from James’s filming last year. He was a pleasure to have around and so good at capturing the small detail and quiet moments. Very unobtrusive and subtle, yet somehow always there so nothing was missed! Incredible result and so helpful with the small changes I asked for. I would 100% recommend!

More Than We Could Ever Have Hoped For
As someone who works in the film industry, I could not be happier with James and his work. His videos were cinematic, emotional, and completely captured the heart and story of our day.

Amazing, perfect, ecstatic
James was incredible. He integrated with us all but also was hidden, music choices were perfect and we couldn’t be happier. The outputs are truly sensational and we are soooo happy

I worked for many years as a director in Film and TV, but ironically the focus in those industries was very much about working fast and striking up a good working relationship with the presenters and your team - with the quality of the series very much an afterthought. With wedding films I've been able to take the fast-working mentality and people-pleasing aspects of the job but I'm now so happy to be able to add the 'beautiful imagery and moments' that had been missing before. To be completely honest, when I got married over a decade ago, I thought that wedding films were just 'a Dad with a 90s video camera' who sets up a shot on a tripod in the corner of a room and presses record...very bog-standard and not that interesting to watch back. It was my wife who showed me some wedding films online and I couldn't believe how great they looked. From that moment on I started transitioning into what I now consider to be my dream job.
