Looking back it turns out film and photography have been a love in my life. It's always been about being behind the camera, I have never been a fan of being in front! Here I am hating being centre of attention when I won 'Miss Golden Sands' at Butlins in Skegness. Clearly REALLY happy about being on stage as you can see.
Below are a few of my most popular wedding videos 'Portfolio' style to help you get an idea of my candid, fun and relaxed style of wedding videography! All the couples you see had worries about being in front of the camera or whether they'd even enjoy watching their wedding film back.

We had Charlene and Paul (Charlene's second shooter) as the videographers for our wedding in early October. Throughout the process of planning the wedding, Charlene was always available in case we needed to chat or had any issues.
We found Charlene because we wanted more of a naturalistic style of capturing the wedding, and this was done to the highest standard I could ever think of.
Charlene's relaxed attitude also really helped on the wedding day itself, as organising group shots is never an easy job, and made us feel a lot more comfortable throughout.
In summary, Charlene is fantastic.

This was our second photo shoot with Charlene and we couldn’t think of anyone else to share in our special day. We boycotted nearly all of the expected wedding traditions - but having a photographer who could capture the precious moments for us was a must! I honestly think if she wasn’t available we would have moved the date! Professional, warm, artistic and natural - with stunning results!

Unfortunately I am a covid bride who is now on my 3rd potential wedding date, my plan C wedding. Charlene has been nothing but amazing throughout this difficult time, she has reached out to offer support, guidance and a friendly email which always came at the time it was needed most. This support has been greatly appreciated by us both. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Charlene to anyone. In fact Charlene has always been my first vendor to contact when we’ve considered moving our date.
I can not wait to have Charlene capture our Plan C wedding.

Words cannot even describe how amazing Charlene is! She went above and beyond to help us make our day amazing. Whilst our wedding didn't exactly go as planned, with a few date changes and venues changed last minute, covid-19 did its best to stop us getting married but with Charlene's help, we got married and our day was amazing, with Charlene capturing everything in the most fabulous way. We didn't even feel like we were being filmed which was good as I was worried it would be awkward but the finished result is beautiful. Our video has captured all the little things we would of missed otherwise

I thoroughly recommended!
I consider myself a reluctant bloke who hated the idea of being filmed so when my wife suggested a family lockdown photo/video shoot I wasn't keen.
But I'm so glad I was persuaded to give it a go. Charlene was great. Our whole family quickly relaxed and we genuinely hardly noticed her taking the photos and video... It was just like having a friend over.
The results are amazing. The only difficult part has been selecting our favourite images. 5 stars!

Charlene was absolutely wonderful and I love every minute of our wedding video.
My husband and I were really put off by all the cheesy videos you see out there and had almost decided it wasnt for us, but we are so glad we put our trust in love gets sweeter and Charlene.
From the get go Charlene put us at ease inviting us to her home to talk about details, she had endless patience with my slow email responses (sorry for the late review!!) And nothing was too much trouble.
My husband was still a bit hesitant and opted not to be filmed in the morning so that ment all focus in me which I didn't

We feel incredibly lucky that Charlene became part of our wedding just a couple of weeks before our big day!
Not only is our video the most incredibly shot & professional video where Charlene has captured the most perfect moments of our day we also felt like she was part of our wedding as a guest, a perfect fit for us.
Despite never meeting her before the big day her professionalism meets her amazing bubbly personality perfectly! We both can’t thank you enough Charlene, what a wonderful talent you have!
