GLOUCESTERSHIRE WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHER
I’m Peter Haken, a Gloucestershire wedding videographer creating cinematic, story-driven films for couples who want the day to feel real, not staged. I film weddings across Cheltenham, Stroud, Cirencester, Tetbury, Tewkesbury and the wider Cotswold edge with a calm, documentary approach that protects the atmosphere of the day.
From barn weddings and manor houses to elegant countryside venues, I capture the vows, speeches, movement and in-between moments without turning your wedding into a production. You get a film that feels honest, stylish and true to Gloucestershire.
BUILT FOR GLOUCESTERSHIRE WEDDINGS
Gloucestershire gives you range without losing character. Cotswold stone, dark barns, open countryside, formal houses and fast-changing weather all shape how a wedding film needs to be shot. A good Gloucestershire wedding videographer needs to adapt quickly without getting in the way.
That is how I work.
- Clean audio, because the words matter as much as the visuals.
- Natural coverage, because the day already has its own pace and emotion.
- Fast adaptation, because Gloucestershire light and weather can change in minutes.
- Short portrait time, because your wedding should feel like a wedding, not a production.

HOW I FILM THE DAY
- Morning prep is covered quietly, without turning calm spaces into film sets.
- The ceremony is filmed with stable angles, clean audio and real reactions, not interruptions.
- Portraits stay short and natural. I guide you into good light, then step back.
- Speeches are treated as part of the story, with clear sound and space for emotion to land.
- The evening is not an afterthought. Movement, energy, hugs, chaos and dancefloor atmosphere all belong in the final film.
GLOUCESTERSHIRE VENUES I KNOW WELL
I regularly film weddings across Gloucestershire and the Cotswold edge, including Cheltenham, Stroud, Cirencester, Tetbury, Tewkesbury and the Forest of Dean. That local knowledge helps with pacing, light, access and the way each part of the day needs to be covered.
Venues that suit this style of wedding filmmaking include Kingscote Barn, Hyde House, Cripps Barn, Stone Barn, Owlpen Manor, Elmore Court, The Matara Centre, The Great Tythe Barn, Tewkesbury Park, Berkeley Castle, Sudeley Castle and Ellenborough Park.
If your venue has rules around cameras, drones, ceremony positions or music licensing, send them over in advance. I will work within the brief and still keep the film natural, calm and story-led.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
Most couples book full day coverage so the whole shape of the wedding is properly documented, from morning prep to the evening atmosphere.
You can build coverage around what matters most to you, including:
- A cinematic highlight film
- A full ceremony film
- A full speeches film
- A longer documentary edit
- A second shooter for larger weddings or split-location prep
WHO THIS SUITS
- This is for couples who do not want the day over-directed.
- You care more about atmosphere, people and feeling than performance for the camera.
- You want the vows and speeches to carry real emotional weight in the final film.
- You want Gloucestershire to look and feel like Gloucestershire, not like a generic wedding backdrop.
- You want a film with style, but without anything forced or artificial.
WEDDING FILM PRICING
My Gloucestershire wedding film collections usually range from £1,295 to £3,500, depending on coverage, edit length, and whether you want separate ceremony and speeches films.

FAQS
DO YOU FILM WEDDINGS ACROSS ALL OF GLOUCESTERSHIRE?
Yes. I film weddings across Gloucestershire, including Cheltenham, Stroud, Cirencester, Tetbury, Tewkesbury, the Forest of Dean, and the wider Cotswold edge. I also regularly cover venues in nearby parts of the Cotswolds and surrounding counties.
WHAT STYLE OF WEDDING FILM DO YOU MAKE?
I create cinematic, documentary-led wedding films built around real moments, real sound, and natural movement. The aim is to make the film feel like your day actually felt, not like a staged shoot.
DO YOU FILM AT BARNS, MANOR HOUSES, AND COUNTRY ESTATE VENUES?
Yes. Gloucestershire suits this approach well because the county has such a strong mix of barns, manor houses, formal estates, and countryside venues. I adapt the way I film to the pace, light, and restrictions of each venue.
CAN WE HAVE THE FULL CEREMONY AND SPEECHES AS WELL AS A HIGHLIGHT FILM?
Yes. Most couples choose a cinematic highlight film alongside separate full-length ceremony and speeches films. You can also add a longer documentary edit if you want more of the day preserved in full.
DO YOU RECORD CLEAN AUDIO DURING THE DAY?
Yes. Clean audio is a big part of how I work. Vows, speeches, laughter, and atmosphere all help shape the final film, so I treat sound as part of the story rather than an afterthought.
DO YOU CHARGE TRAVEL FEES FOR GLOUCESTERSHIRE WEDDINGS?
Usually not for standard Gloucestershire coverage, but it depends on the venue, timings, and whether extra travel or overnight stay is needed. The clearest way to price it is for you to send over the date, venue, and rough schedule.
CAN YOU WORK WITH VENUE RESTRICTIONS ON CAMERAS OR DRONES?
Yes. If your venue has rules around ceremony positions, drone use, music licensing, or camera access, send them over in advance. I will work within the venue brief without flattening the story or disrupting the day.
HOW FAR AHEAD SHOULD WE BOOK?
Popular Gloucestershire dates can go early, especially for summer weekends and well-known barn venues. Once you have your date and venue, it is worth getting in touch to check availability.
