Who is the best wedding videographer in the West Midlands?

ChrisJFilms, run by Chris Jezierski, is one of the highest-rated wedding videographers in the West Midlands with 100+ five-star reviews on Google, Hitched and Bridebook. With over 23 years of filmmaking experience and 500+ weddings filmed, Chris covers Birmingham, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Shropshire and Derbyshire.

How much does a wedding videographer cost in Birmingham and the West Midlands?

ChrisJFilms wedding video packages start from £1,549 for The Film package (up to 10 hours coverage, highlight film, ceremony, speeches, aerial footage, private gallery). The Filmmaking Experience starts from £2,800. A £200 deposit secures your date. Discounts of £100 are available for off-season or midweek weddings.

Why should I hire a wedding videographer?

Because the day moves fast. You won't remember the voices, the little looks, the way people sounded. Video brings all that back in a way nothing else can. Photos stop a moment, but video brings the whole thing back — the way someone laughed, the way they hugged you, the sound of their voice saying your name.

How far in advance should we book a wedding videographer?

As soon as you decide you want one. Dates go fast, especially summer Saturdays in the West Midlands. Most couples book 12-18 months in advance. A £200 deposit locks the date.

How long until we get our wedding film?

Up to 12 weeks for full delivery. Every film is hand-edited to music — nothing is batch-processed. Express 7-day delivery is available as an add-on.

Does ChrisJFilms travel for weddings?

Yes. Based in the Midlands, ChrisJFilms covers all of West Midlands, Staffordshire, Birmingham, Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Shropshire and Derbyshire, and will travel nationally for weddings.

What's included in a ChrisJFilms wedding video package?

The Film (£1,549): up to 10 hours coverage, cinematic highlight film 8-12 min, full ceremony and speeches films, aerial drone footage, social media trailer, private online gallery with 10-year secure storage. The Filmmaking Experience (£2,800) adds deeper storytelling, extended coverage and more cinematic depth.

What is the deposit to book ChrisJFilms?

£200 deposit secures your wedding date. The balance is due closer to the wedding day. Payment plans are available.

Does ChrisJFilms offer discounts on wedding videography?

Yes. £100 off for off-season weddings (November–March), midweek dates (Monday–Thursday), or cash payment on the day. Only one discount applies per booking.

Will we actually watch our wedding video again in the future?

Almost certainly. Couples watch it often right after the wedding, then again at anniversaries, or when showing their children. Video captures voices, movements and emotions that photos cannot — it only becomes more valuable with time.

Meet Chris

"The flowers will fade, the food will be eaten. But the only things that will remain are the rings, the photos, and the video."

This isn't just filming to me. It's looking after something you don't get back.

People change. Kids grow. Voices get older. And sometimes, people who were there won't be anymore. That's the hard part no one thinks about on the day. Memories do fade, even the good ones.

That's why I focus on voices, reactions and the real interactions — not just how things looked.

Photos stop a moment. Video brings the whole thing back — the way someone laughed, the way they hugged you, the sound of their voice saying your name.

There's no redo for this. Once it's gone, it's gone. So I treat it carefully. I stay aware. I pay attention. I don't mess around with the parts that matter.

Years from now, when life looks different, this is how you see them again. How you hear them again. That's why I take being there seriously. You can trust me to hold onto it properly, even the bits you didn't notice at the time.

Staffordshire weddings span countryside estates, converted barns, and historic manors — from Lichfield to Uttoxeter, Stoke to Burton-on-Trent. Filming in this county means adapting to natural light changes, charming rural backdrops, and acoustics in old stone buildings. Barn venues like Hanbury, The Ashes, and Foxtail Barns offer stunning rustic spaces with high beamed ceilings and large windows that let in natural light — though that light shifts quickly with cloud cover and season. Outdoor ceremonies in Staffordshire countryside are beautiful but unpredictable; I've filmed in sudden rain, brilliant sunshine, and biting wind, often on the same day. Historic venues and manor houses bring stone walls, lower ceilings, and the kind of acoustic warmth that makes vows and speeches resonate naturally. Having filmed tens of celebrations across Staffordshire, I understand how each unique space feels, where natural light works best, how weather affects outdoor moments, and how to capture the character of the place without being intrusive. This level of familiarity means your wedding film reflects not just your day, but your place in Staffordshire.

Experienced With Weddings In Staffordshire

Different venues, lighting setups, and timelines all affect how a wedding film is captured. Having filmed across Staffordshire, I know how to work discreetly in churches, dimly lit reception spaces, and outdoor ceremonies while keeping everything natural and uninterrupted.

Over the past seasons I've filmed at Staffordshire venues like:

For Couples Getting Married In Staffordshire Who…

Want natural moments, not posing
Care about speeches & vows being captured clearly
Prefer a relaxed presence
Want a film they'll return to years later

Having a smaller wedding? That makes film more important — not less.

Guest lists are getting tighter. That means the people there matter more.

Smaller weddings aren't about scale. They're about closeness.
Film captures relationships, not just how things looked.

That's why smaller weddings often create the most powerful films.

The laugh from your best friend.
Your mum's voice during speeches.
The quiet reactions you didn't see happening.

The more personal the day, the more powerful the film becomes.

This Is Just the Highlights

Two films. Two couples. One day each — cut down to the moments that matter.

Not everything from a wedding stays. This does.

A wedding has a lot of beautiful parts.
But most of them are gone within 24 hours.

The flowers.
The food.
The decor.

Film is one of the only parts of the day that still exists years later — with voices, movement and real moments intact.

That's why couples don't regret having it.
They regret not having it.

Chris filmed our wedding in June 2025, and we cannot thank him enough for the wonderful job he did in capturing all of our special moments, and making a really beautiful compilation for us. On the day he was highly organised, and despite never having filmed a Greek wedding before or knowing anything about the traditions, he did a fantastic job. He had two different cameras running at all times at all venues, ensuring he could always focus on the important moments and never miss a thing. Chris is a very approachable and positive guy, and made us feel at ease the whole day. He worked really well with our photographer, who he'd never met before, and choreographed and captured some beautiful moments in the Church and surrounding grounds. He was always one step ahead, and ensured everything ran smoothly, helping to organise the guests when needed, and giving us clear direction. The video he created was really special. The way he edited it, the music he used, the way he captured the flavour of the day, it was all amazing. The audio was very clear at all times, and he supplied discreet mics during the ceremony and speeches to ensure nothing was missed. It was lively wedding in the evening, with lots of cultural traditions and dancing, and Chris worked so hard to ensure that he captured everything. I was so impressed with how dedicated he was on the day, I think he was on his feet for longer than anyone else. We are so happy with the video that Chris created, and extremely grateful and lucky to have had him film our wedding. We can't recommend him highly enough. A great videographer, and a really great guy.

We had Chris film our wedding in June 2025. I just wanted to write a review as I really recommend him to anyone wanting a videographer. Chris was so friendly, easy going and absolutely incredible at what he does. We booked Chris through our photographer and we are just so thankful that we had him there. The videos we received were so beautiful and we can’t thank Chris enough. Anyone would be lucky to have him for their wedding day.

We are absolutely blown away by our wedding video! We knew it was going to be great, but it was even better than we dreamed. You captured the joy and emotion of our day so perfectly. The best part is that you blended in seamlessly; we honestly forgot filming was even taking place! Watching the video makes us laugh and cry every time, and it's a memory we will treasure forever. Thank you for being such a supportive and talented presence on our special day. Booking you was the best decision we made, me and Lee will be forever grateful we chose the best person to capture our wedding day. Thank you so much Chris for all your hard work we appreciated it❤️ Mr and Mrs Rogers.

Chris fulfilled the brief as agreed with us and provided good quality videos. He also collaborated well with the independent photographer, whom he had not met before.

Chris was nothing short of amazing. He captured our most magical day with such warmth. Our highlight video is truly stunning, every moment feels alive, every emotion beautifully preserved. We’ve watched it countless times since receiving them and it brings us back to that very special wedding day. From the moment we met him, Chris put us completely at ease. We are beyond grateful for the memories he has given us. We’ll cherish these films for the rest of our lives. If you’re looking for someone who pours genuine heart into his work, we cannot recommend Chris highly enough.

Chris was great on our wedding day. He was friendly and hardworking, and was present throughout the day for all of the important moments. He has captured the most beautiful videos that we will always treasure from our special day. We would definitely recommend Chris. Thank you

Most couples tell me afterwards this was one of the best decisions they made — because once the day is over, this is what brings people back.
