Wedding videographer and photographer from Oxford to Bath

I’m Peter, a wedding videographer and photographer living on a narrowboat on the Kennet and Avon Canal. I film and photograph weddings across Wiltshire, Somerset, Bath, Berkshire, Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds.

I do my best work when nobody notices I’m there. Your film is built from the ceremony, the speeches and the quiet minutes in between. Nobody tells you where to stand. Film, photos, or both, from the same person.

Watch a wedding film

Sound on. This is what a wedding film from me looks like: real voices, natural sound and the day as it happened.

How I film and photograph weddings

Mostly invisible. I stay out of the way and let the day happen: the nerves before the ceremony, the changing light, the late-night party. So I don’t stop people, restage moments or direct the action.

Sound comes first. Vows, speeches and the noise of the room are recorded cleanly. After all, they’re what bring a wedding film back to life years later.

Film and photos, shot the same way. If you book both, there’s one person to brief, so the film and photos feel like the same wedding.

Family groups, done quickly. You’ll still get the groups your families expect. However, they’re kept short and organised, so you’re back at the party in minutes.

Film, photography or both together: pick what fits your day, then see where I work and what it costs.

Recent real weddings

Every wedding has its own pace: some calm and intimate, some loud and full of movement, most a bit of both. Here are three more, from Gloucestershire to the heart of Oxford.

Peter Haken filming a wedding in Oxford

Hi, I’m Peter

I live on a narrowboat, so reading changing weather and adapting on the fly is part of daily life. That same habit comes with me to every wedding. Rather than forcing a particular shot, I watch what’s actually happening and work with it.

I’ve been filming and photographing weddings since 2011.

More about me

What full day coverage includes

I arrive for the morning preparations and stay through the ceremony, the meal and the speeches, until the evening is in full swing.

With film, you get a highlight film built around your vows, speeches and the sound of the day. Longer edits and full ceremony and speech films are also available.

With photography, you get over 500 edited photographs in a private online gallery.

Film and photography can each be booked on their own, or together on suitable dates. Off-peak weddings start from £2,000 for film, £1,495 for photography and £2,995 for both. For peak Saturdays from May to September, prices start from £2,500, £1,950 and £3,950.

A good fit for relaxed weddings

I suit couples who want to enjoy the day rather than run it. There’s no staged filming, no hours of directed photos and no long schedule pulling you away from your guests.

Your couple portraits take about 20 minutes, usually when the light is good. Everything else follows what actually happens.

Wedding videography from Oxford to Bath

I live on a narrowboat on the Kennet and Avon Canal, so Wiltshire, Berkshire, Somerset and Bath are close to home. Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds are still a big part of my work, and I regularly film in Gloucestershire, Bristol and London.

Cornwall and further afield across the UK are possible on selected dates. Send me your venue and date, and I’ll tell you honestly whether it works.

Wedding films by region

Photography covers the same areas. See wedding photography for regions and real weddings.

Film, photography or both

You can book film on its own, photography on its own, or both together when the day allows it. Also, there’s no fixed package to fit into.

For example, a small wedding with a tight timeline might suit one person doing both. On the other hand, a bigger day often works better with each covered separately.

Not sure which suits you? Just send me your date, venue and rough timings, and I’ll suggest one.

I film weddings across Wiltshire, Somerset, Bath, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, Bristol, London and Cornwall. Elsewhere in the UK is possible on selected dates.

What’s included in a wedding film?

Can we book film and photography together?

You can. Film and photography can be booked together on suitable dates, or separately. Depending on your schedule, I’ll recommend either separate coverage or a more compact combined approach.

Do you direct or pose people?

Mostly not. I film and photograph the day as it happens, and give straightforward direction only when it helps. Family groups and couple portraits are kept relaxed and quick.

What do we get with photography?

Full day photography covers everything from morning preparations to the evening, with over 500 edited images in a private online gallery.

How far in advance should we book?

Popular Saturdays can book up well in advance, especially in the main summer season, so it’s worth checking availability early.
