The Person Behind Spark & Story Films

Thank you for taking the time to look through my website — I’m really glad you’re here.

I’m John, the filmmaker behind Spark & Story Films. I create wedding films for couples who want their day captured in a way that feels thoughtful, emotional and true to them.

A Filmmaker With A Calm Approach

I care deeply about creating films that feel beautifully put together without ever feeling forced. My approach on a wedding day is calm, discreet and considered, with gentle direction where needed to help everything feel relaxed and look its best on film.

For me, it is not just about capturing how the day looked, but how it felt — the atmosphere, the emotion, the movement and all the little in-between moments that make it yours.

Working Together

My wife, Sam, is also a wedding photographer, and we regularly work together to offer a seamless photography and videography experience for couples who want beautifully coordinated coverage. Because we know each other’s way of working so well, everything feels easy, well-paced and never overdone.

If you would like to see the photography side of what we do, you can also visit Capture The Moment.

What Matters Most To Me

I know having someone document your wedding is a big part of the day, so I always aim to make the experience feel relaxed, straightforward and personal from start to finish.

If you connect with my work and feel I might be the right fit for your wedding, I’d love to hear more about your plans.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I only take on a limited number of exclusive weddings each year, and my calendar tends to get reserved 12 to sometimes 24 months in advance. To secure your desired date, it's advisable to book as early as possible, as my schedule can fill up quite rapidly.

  • Contact me to confirm my availability for your wedding date initially. Following that, we can schedule a meeting and grab a coffee or through a video call to delve deeper into your requirements.

  • To secure your special day in my calendar, there is a non-refundable booking fee of £400 at the time of reservation. This ensures exclusivity for your wedding date and guarantees that I won't schedule any other commitments on that day.

    Additionally, this booking fee covers administrative costs from the time of booking until the final balance is settled. It's a small step that goes a long way in making your wedding planning process seamless. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out—I'm here to assist you every step of the way.

  • Certainly! I highly recommend scheduling a meeting to chat about your special day. It's beneficial for me to grasp your preferences, and it gives you the chance to get to know me too! As the videographer is on of the sole vendors present throughout your entire wedding day, establishing a connection that translates into a stunning film is exceptionally valuable.

  • Absolutely! I'm thrilled to be a part of your special day! For locations beyond a 1 hour and 30-minute travel time, I kindly request accommodation the night before. The last thing anyone wants is to be caught in unexpected delays or traffic, especially on such an important day like your wedding. I strive to be as close as possible on the wedding day, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience.

  • The complete balance is required six weeks prior to the wedding date. You have the option to settle the final balance through either a bank transfer or credit/debit card payment.

  • I provide flexible and customisable packages tailored to your preferences. For a comprehensive overview of the available options for your wedding videography, please refer to my prices and packages page.
