About James David Films
Cinematic wedding films, captured calmly, naturally, and professionally.
Kent based wedding videographer filming weddings across the South East. For couples who want their day captured without awkward posing or forced direction.
The Family behind the camera
I’m James, the filmmaker behind James David Films. A Kent wedding videographer creating natural, cinematic wedding films for couples across Kent and the South East.
My approach comes from 6 years of experience, I am calm, unobtrusive and story-led. Focusing on real moments, the emotion of the day and capturing the atmosphere unobtrusively so your wedding films feel true to you both rather than a staged or forced wedding styled shoot.
Yasmin my fiancé runs our family business with me, She deals with client care, organisation of paperwork and meetings behind the scenes and our wedding film collections are named after our children, The Ezra Collection & The Alani Collection
A Calm, Natural Approach To Wedding Videography
On the day, I work quietly in the background, capturing the moments as they naturally happen. I’ll step in with gentle guidance when it helps, but I’m never there to take over your wedding or turn it into a production.
Although mixing and mingling with your friends and family is one of my favourite things to do on a wedding day!

EXCELLENT Based on 94 reviews Posted on Google Mike NorsworthyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Spot on and couldn't have asked for anything more. James caught all the moments and during the day, and felt like one on family.Posted on Google Megan CathersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. James captured our day perfectly and we now get to re live the best day over and over again with ever special moment. From the first call with him and every catch up in between to the magical message with our final video, everything was just amazing. His energy throughout the day just made everything better, honestly can’t put into words how amazing everything was! We couldn’t have asked for better, thank you a million times James!! xxPosted on Google Matt & RachaelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the start, James and Yasmin were fantastic. We weren’t 100% sure what we needed on the day, but we knew we wanted our special day captured on video - they both helped guide us through the whole process. We felt like we were in good, professional hands from the start!! James was brilliant on the day, he worked so slickly, we didn’t even notice he was there at times - which is exactly what you want on your wedding day. He was very personable and got on well with all of our guests, and we received brilliant feedback from all. James knew how much we really wanted the drone footage, and went above and beyond (literally!!) to make it happen. We’re SO excited to see our finished video - but we are sure he’ll have captured our special day perfectly. The previews we’ve see are great! Thanks so much!Posted on Google Emma BrieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. James was amazing! From initial query to the editing process! Such a nice guy and kept us all calm and laughing on the day. He put everyone at ease and the videos speak for themselves! We’ve watched the videos over 6 times in 24 hours and still gets me emotional every time! If anyone is looking for a wedding videographer who goes the extra mile, is a lovely genuine man and is a wizard behind the lens, James is the guy for you! We would get married again just to see his work again! We cannot wait to gather round and show all our family! A lovely memory to be able to look back on and show future children. Ps the Alani package is definitely worth it for the family interviews!! I will cherish these forever and always Thank you again JamesPosted on Google Adam GoddardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Where do I start! I found James via a TikTok video and I instantly knew I wanted him to capture our special day. I spoke to my wife and when she saw his work she knew it would be exactly what we wanted. Amazing communication leading up to the big day, had initial video calls and then more video calls nearer the day. On the day James was so professional but also so genuine. He made sure we were both relaxed and not overwhelmed with everything going on. He was there to support you but without feeling like he was in the way. It really is a skill to be able to be there but not be in the way. It took just 3 weeks for our films to be sent to us! We went with the Alani package which had interviews from our parents and close family. The highlight video is breath taking! We have the full ceremony, speeches and first dance and then the masterpiece highlight video. James has captured the beautiful emotion from the day and put it into a 10 minute video that we will forever cherish. We can't wait to share it with family that were not able to make the wedding and also any future kids! We have this memory that we can share forever with our loved ones. Thank you James for everything!Posted on Google paolo cinquemaniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the moment he arrived on our wedding morning, he was a dream to work with. He has this incredible ability to be everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. He made us, our bridal party, and our guests feel completely at ease with his professional yet laid-back energy. Honestly, it felt more like having a friend there who just happened to be incredibly talented with a camera. As for the final video... wow. We were blown away by the quality. James didn't just record the day; he captured the actual feeling of it. The editing, the music choices, and the little candid moments he caught that we didn't even notice at the time are just priceless. We’ve already watched it a dozen times, and it brings back all the emotions every single time. If you’re looking for someone to perfectly preserve your wedding memories, book James. You won’t regret it!Posted on Google Lilly-Mae GreenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We cannot recommend James highly enough! From before the wedding and from the moment he arrived, he was incredibly friendly, calm, and professional, making everyone feel at ease in front of the camera. He captured the day so perfectly without ever feeling intrusive. We received our videos and they are absolutely breathtaking—the quality and storytelling are beyond what we imagined. If you’re looking for someone to capture your special day, James is the one! Lilly & Paolo xxPosted on Google James MunnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn’t rate James more. He’s acted nothing but professional from booking until producing the video. On the day it felt like we had another one of our mates there filming our wedding. He made all our guests feel comfortable and even my dad who is hard to please commented on the quality of the videos James has produced. You will not be let down.

I love seeing reactions
The first time you watch your wedding film back, you notice everything you missed.
The quiet glances, the voices of loved ones, the moments happening in the background.
That is why we film the day as it really felt, so you can relive your wedding day for the rest of your lives.
Watching Jess and Tommy experience their highlight film for the first time reminds me why this matters.
“From the very start, we felt confident James understood exactly what we wanted from our day. He was welcoming, professional, and blended in effortlessly with our guests and suppliers. Watching our wedding film has been incredibly special. The highlight film is beautifully edited and captured everything we hoped for and more. The turnaround was quicker than expected, which we really appreciated. Thank you James for bringing our wedding day to life as a truly cinematic film.”
