About Us

Northwest Wedding Videos was founded by Ben Hamlen after filming some friends weddings, In 2015 Adam joined. Wedding videography was once regarded as being a bit cheesy, a bit cheap, a bit tacky. In the last few years wedding videography / films have evolved to become the must have for brides.

Our style could best be described as documentary with a cinematic flair. We use cameras and lenses to give your wedding video a luxury, filmic appearance whilst trying to capture the natual, raw emotion and energy of the day. Some of our best footage is when the Bride, Groom or guests don’t realize we are filming. We try to stay out of your way and avoid “staging” shots. We capture whatever happens as it happens. We don’t carry round bulky equipment, preferring to travel light.

Here's what our lovely previous clients had to say.......

  • “We can’t thank Ben from Northwest Videos enough for filming our special wedding day at The Wrightington Hotel and Country Club. They answered all enquiries before our wedding promptly and arrived early on the day, who was extremely pleasant and captured our special moments. We would recommend to anyone who wants a professional filming service to film their special moments, Thank you so much!”

  • "Hi Ben, Clare and I arrived back from Croatia earlier and the wedding DVD was here waiting for us. Its amazing, thank you! The best thing about it is that we hardly recall seeing you therefore all the way through our guests are all being themselves and at ease. Again, thank you so much...and I'll be sure to recommend you! Take care. "

  • "We we're so so pleased with our wedding DVD. Ben was lovely and we didn't even realise he was there which made everything much more relaxed. He managed to capture every aspect and emotion on our special day. We are so pleased that we decided to have a videographer as the day goes so quickly and parts of it can be missed but by having our DVD we can relive the day over and over again. The shortened version of our DVD was such a great idea as we were able to share it on Facebook for all of our friends to see. We would definitely recommend Ben to provide any couple thinking of having their wedding day filmed with a personal, professional and prompt service to remember your day by. Thank you again so much."

  • "Our experience with northwest wedding videos was amazing to say the least. There was plenty of communication beforehand and we didn't even realise he was there on the day. Great video, great guy. We are glad we found him and would highly recommend Northwest Wedding Videos."
