Even though the emphasis is on artistic content, quality of shots and editing I do use broadcast quality digital cameras, always carry back-up equipment and use a Macintosh G5 for editing (I spend about a week editing a wedding!).
I am a M.M.Inst.V. (Master Member of the Institute of Videography) and a fully registered member of The Guild of Professional Videographers and have won some of their awards.
I work unobtrusively and discreetly and also work extremely well with photographers, I come highly recommended by many of them. In fact, more than 80% of my work is now a result of recommendation.
Here's what some of my clients had to say:
We are beyond delighted and thrilled with the DVD of Tara and Matt’s wedding...We just think it is the business! You are very clever and thank you for making it look as we felt it was!...You are indeed an amazing lady... It will be our utmost pleasure to recommend to you anyone at all!"
Tara & Matt, 25 July 2007, Highclere Castle

It is truly a piece of art which you have created, and it completely draws you in even for people that were not present on the day; they can feel they were actually there. I am so impressed...

We just don’t get bored of watching it.”
Judith & Mark, 29 April 2005, Caterham
“We were uncertain about getting a video done at first, based on what we had seen from other videographers etc, however, on watching it that evening we were in awe of the fantastic work that you had done, it is truly inspirational. We were amazed as you had not only captured the magic of our day, but had created an artistic masterpiece, which is a joy to watch time and time again. The music that you chose was just right, reflecting our feelings and moods on the day and was in keeping with the venue that we had chosen.”
Sharon & Mark, 15 January 2005, Ware
"I think you are amazing at the ediiting. From when you did my sister's video back in 1996 I always thought I wanted you to do my video when I got married.

"Thank you for our wonderful wedding video, we are truly amazed at what a fantastic job you did."
Claire & Russell, 7 August 2004, Bishops Stortford
We wanted to thank you for the absolutely fantastic wedding DVD and video...You filmed each and everyone of our 150 guests at some point during the day...you really captured the atmosphere of the day but were never intrusive. Your editing has made it into a great DVD to watch and one that is never boring. Your choice of camera angles, fading and slow-motion has made the DVD into a very special and personal film to us. We love the way you combined the music we gave you. You really have worked so hard and it shows - the final product is a very professional yet personal DVD. We knew when we asked you to film our wedding you would produce a fantastic DVD for us, but we never thought it would be this good...You are one talented lady - give up the air hostessing!!"
Stewart & Christine, 30 August 2003, Wimbledon

Andrew & Sally, 04th May 2003, Forest Row
"Yesterday Marc and I watched our video and were enormously impressed with the editing and the professional, but also very personal touch. The result is art on a very high level.

Marc & Helene, 15th August 2002, Nijmegen

I wanted you to know that."
Jason & Justine, 15th December 2001, Chelsea

There were many tears and much laughter...The feedback from the family has been tremendous, everyone is saying the same: 'Never seen a wedding video like it' or 'Where on earth did you find her, she is great'. You really have done a wonderful job and John and I can't thank you enough for capturing our day in such a unique way."
John & Lindsay, 07th July 2001, Hampton Hill

"It was a pleasure to meet you last Saturday, you are clever, intelligent and fun to work with. Your work is outstanding, first class! The editing is so good, not just the images, but the sound, three tracks at once, music, background...what's your secret?"
Graham, photographer, 22nd July 2000, Cambridge

Vince @ Stormfield Productions, 15 December 2005
"...thank you for the stunning DVD you made of our wedding day. We were absolutely blown away by it. Your editing and camera work is amazing. There were so many special touches, it was a masterpiece...a different league in comparison to the other wedding videos we had seen in the past. We loved the way you used our favourite songs, it was as if you knew exactly what we would have wanted.
We were thrilled with the Highlights, it is really like watching a short movie. We also loved the way you did the music credits at the end, it was like an old vintage film, and…there’s a particular shot of my parents looking up into the camera at the same time – priceless!
Ines you certainly have a gift!”
Louise & Ian, 9 September 2005, Great Fosters
"We rarely get to see videographers final masterpieces and we were impressed. We love the arty detail shots and the close up shots especially, as well as the shooting through and shooting around - you manage to get some good angles on things. Most importantly though you really managed to capture the personalities and their expressions in a way which doesn't always work on stills... we can see why couples love your work..."
Ali & Neil, Freeman Photographics
“Thank you so much for the fantastic wedding DVD you did for us – the attention to detail is wonderful and it really is very artistic. Everyone who has seen it has been really impressed…!”
Francesca & Matthew, 18 June 2005, Eltham Palace
“What can I say!!! We both loved it! I am not quite sure how you managed such a production all on your own, and so unobtrusively. But you brought out the best of the day (despite all of the many hiccups!) Both Graeme and I were really impressed with how you used our music choices in just the right places (and in ways that we never could have imagined!). We just love it. Thank you so much. It’s a great record to have of the day. As someone who was profoundly skeptical about commissioning a video at all, I am most humbled and truly a convert.”
“We watched our video for the first time on Saturday morning…WE LOVE IT!!! I do not know how to thank you enough…You captured moments and emotions perfectly, yet never once were in the way or intrusive in any manner…Giles and I had such high hopes and you have exceeded every one…and everyone who has seen it so far wants to watch it again and again. Ines, you are wonderful…Thank you so very much.”
Joanne & Giles, 18 December 2004, Wisbech
”On behalf of Nigel and me (and all of our family!) we wanted to say how much we love the wedding video. You have captured some wonderful moments that we are so glad we can look back on and enjoy in years to come….Everyone who has seen it loves it and has commented how professional it is. The choice of music to sections fits just perfectly. Thank you so much.”
Cathryn & Nigel, 4 September 2004, Chiseldon

Your time and effort on the video has been noted by everyone and they have all said how beautiful and easy to watch it is. You have allowed us to have a fantastic memory of our special day and we are more than pleased. We also have to mention how your attention to detail gave us a chance to see the bits we missed."
Lisa & Steve, 12 June 2004, Loughborough
"Wow - our video is absolutely amazing...I am totally lost for words! Ben and I are so pleased to have such a fantastic reminder of our big day...!!! I think you might find a few of our friends queuing up to book. Jo will be eagerly awaiting the details - apparently she will not get married if she can't have you doing the video! She has watched ours several times over and is very, very impressed!!"
