Sylvestris Wedding Films Full Description
Sylvesrtis Wedding Films, a specialist wedding videography studio based on the Dorset, Hampshire border. Our unique location just on the outskirts of the beautiful coastal towns of Bournemouth, Poole & Christchurch combine with close proximity to Hampshire’s charming New Forest, perfectly situated to serve many wonderful wedding venues locally as well as having the freedom to travel nationally and internationally. Unlike the traditional approach to wedding films, mine is one of a candid nature insisting on my wedding films appearing to be from the view of a guest or onlooker and always ensuring the natural beauty of the day isn’t compromised by me or my cameras presents.

Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: Dean
I'm sure if you have found me on this website you will have looked at a bunch of other wedding videographers, and there will be some you love the work of and some you aren't so keen. All I can really say is if you like the natural, unintrusive and emotive nature of the films I create then get in touch and check if I am available to film your day. I almost always work alone and only take a number of weddings so ensuring I'm free on your date is the most important thing.

Exceptionally Talented
When selecting wedding suppliers, we focused on finding people we wanted to be part of our wedding day, and Dean was certainly one of those. Not only is he an exceptionally talented videographer, but he will keep you calm, give good advice, and blend seamlessly into your day to make everyone feel extremely comfortable. We are over the moon with the final product; through his work, we are transported to re-live our special day over and over again; it's the most incredible wedding gift you could receive. I could not recommend him more highly; thank you, Dean, for everything.

Feel so comfortable like we’d known him forever.
I couldn’t recommend Dean enough! Dean is incredibly talented, he is so professional but also really friendly. All of our guests were so impressed with him too, we hardly noticed he was there on the day but he also fitted in like a guest and made us feel so comfortable like we’d known him forever. When anyone asks for any wedding advice now, all I could say is book Dean! We have watched our video so many times since and been able to share our special day with people who were unable to attend.

Calm, attentive & so caring
I would totally recommend Dean. He was the videographer for my daughter's wedding last Saturday. The videographer we had booked cancelled the day before the wedding due to Covid so couldn't be helped, but Dean stepped in following a recommendation & was calm, attentive & so caring, we couldn't have wished for better. Thank you so much Dean

Felt like part of my family!
Incredible videographer with the personality to match. Not only worked 24/7 which was noticed by all our wedding guests - but also offered his advice and support in the times I needed it! Felt like part of my family!

He captures the day so wonderfully
We met Dean 2 months before our wedding, It was like we’d known him forever, his professionalism and character was second to none. On the day he floated around in the background, but at the same time we wanted him involved…we have just received our video, it is the most beautiful, emotional bit of footage I’ve ever seen. He captures the day so wonderfully and I will recommend him to one and all. Thank you Dean for everything.

He was discreet so we didn't feel imposed upon
Sylvestris Wedding Films exceeded our expectations in every way - even arriving before I (the bride) was out of bed (I like my sleep), he even helped out holding our baby as I was struggling to juggle everything. We instantly felt comfortable around Dean as he was funny, friendly yet professional. He was discreet so we didn't feel imposed upon on our special day but still managed to capture all the 'important bits' but also the fine details we missed on the day! The quality is superb & moments

I would highly recommend Dean for all videography
Dean recently captured our wedding at Burley Manor and did an amazing job, the quality of his content and editing was second to none and the output has been truly amazing. Dean was consummate professional throughout and made us feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. His approach to staging shots quickly made us feel at ease. I would highly recommend Dean for all videography work.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

My own. It was very low key but it was one of the most important days of my life. I just wish I had a wedding video of the day.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Relaxed, unintrusive, candid, friendly, natural

What about your business are you most proud of?

The films I make and the reactions they get. To know I have captured and created something that will be watched by the couples entire family including their children, grandchildren and many generations down the line means my art will live on much longer than I will. For this I feel immensely proud.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Read my blog posts for insider advise and tips. Unlike most wedding suppliers, as a wedding videographer I attend weddings from start to finish so know what works and what don't. I'm happy to help any couples who book me with any advise and even write blog posts about what I see while doing what I do best.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Oh wow, so many. A favourite was one couple had the table wine of the same vintage as the year they met.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

I like couples to enquire through my website. It is important so I can gather some vital information that can then be referred back to when I need it. I'll then contact the couple and let them know if I am avalible for their wedding day. If I am I like to schedule a call in with the couple so we can learn more about one another. I want to know what they plan for their day and they want to learn how I will go about capturing it. We will spend quite some time in one another's company on the wedding day and this call usually helps a couple discover whether I'm the right fit for them. Just for reference, I book 99% of the couples I have a call with. I'll then send them invoices for the payments required to book. Once the deposit is booked, the couples wedding date is secure. Around a month prior to the wedding day I like to have another meeting with the couple. This is to reassure them and ask any last minuet questions, provide some guidance on speeches and for me to learn of any nuances they I might not be aware of. All couples have said this was invaluable in helping them have a smooth day. On the wedding day I'm there but only just, read any of my google reviews to see I specialise in being part of the wedding party and not centre of attention. I can only create the truly natural films I do by becoming invisible. I will chat with guests, play with children, and joke with vicars. But most importantly I will capture the moments that I know will make for a great wedding film. Then at the end of the night I will say farewell to the newlyweds and the next time they will hear from me will be once I have created their collection of films.

What is the most exciting thing you have caught on camera?

Every singe time a bride walks down the aisle. The feeling of emotion in the room, church, garden or hall is electrifying and there really is nothing quite like it.

What is the one film you wish you had directed and why?

Ridiculous irrelevant question. If I have to answer, a film I wrote myself.

What is your favourite soundtrack to put to a wedding video?

The one that suits the wedding. Every wedding is different an all the films I create are unique. I don't copy and paste anything so can't choose 'a favourite sound track'. These questions were clearly not written by film makers.

Describe how you got into videography.

I have a unique hobby which involves filming things. Through this I fell in love with the process and people started asking me to film for their business. I built a successful business making video content for well known brands such as banks, building societies, fashion labels, domestic appliance manufacturers etc. But during the covid period I took stock of how I was making a living and decided I wanted to do something with more soul to it than just help make companies richer. So I made the move in to filming weddings. It has been an amazing journey which I hope will continue for many years.
