Wedding Videographer UK with Super 8 | Paul Cryer Films

Start with a film …

Chloe and Jonty built a wedding entirely their own. Home-grown flowers, personal vows, a vintage car and a paddle boat, all handmade and gathered with real care.

This is their story. Personal, colourful, and quietly theirs.

It’s been so lovely to look back at the videos of our special day and relive all those precious moments again. On the day Paul blended in seamlessly, but also let us know what his plans were throughout the day.

A considered way of telling your story

I film weddings because I’m drawn to real connection. Not the spectacle of the day, but the feeling of it. The way people come together. The colour they bring, the things they’ve made with their own hands, the moments that happen in between the big ones. I’ve never been interested in trends or performance. What matters to me is presence, and making films that reflect how the day actually felt, not how it was meant to look.

On the day, my approach is a candid one, but I’m not standing quietly in the corner. I stay close enough to catch the energy of the day, the laughter, the joy, the little details you’ve spent months planning, without ever asking you to perform or repeat a moment for the camera. During preparations or portraits I’ll offer gentle guidance if it helps, but the rest of the day is left to unfold as it should.

Every wedding has its own rhythm. Its own energy. My job is to listen for it, and shape the film around it. Films built from real voices, real movement, and real emotion. Stories that feel lived-in rather than produced.

The person behind the camera

I’m Paul. I’ve been filming weddings for over a decade, looking for the moments that matter. Not always the loud ones, but the human ones. The glances, the laughter, the pauses that say more than words ever could. I love a day with colour and character to it, the details a couple has made or grown or chosen themselves.

On a wedding day I’m calm, considered, and genuinely there. I give you space, and step in only when it helps, but I’m also part of the energy of the day, not just watching it from the sidelines. That balance, present but never intrusive, is exactly how it should be.

I’m based in Manchester and film weddings across the UK and beyond. Outside of weddings you’ll usually find me planning my next bit of travelling, taking hikes with my camera, watching movies, or gaming with friends. Those things shape how I see the world, and how I tell stories.

No two weddings ever feel the same. My role is simply to notice what makes yours different, and tell it honestly.

For everyone in love.

Every couple deserves to feel comfortable, understood, and at ease. Not just on their wedding day, but throughout the whole process of planning it.

I work with couples from all walks of life. What matters to me isn’t fitting into a template, but taking the time to understand who you are and what feels right for you, whether that’s quiet and understated or full of colour, energy, and personal touches.

My approach is calm, considered, and thoughtful. You’re never put on the spot or asked to perform for the camera. You don’t need to be loud, traditionally romantic, or confident in front of a lens to be captured well. You’re given space to be yourself, exactly as you are, whatever that looks like.

Love looks different for everyone. That’s what makes each story worth telling.

Real film. Real nostalgia.

Super 8 isn’t a filter or a grainy overlay added afterwards. It’s real analogue film, shot on vintage cameras, physically processed in a lab, and handled with care. The texture, movement, and imperfections are all part of the process. They can’t be recreated digitally, and that’s exactly the point.

I offer Super 8 as an add-on alongside your digital coverage, woven through the day as a complementary layer to the main film. It’s treated with the same care and intention as everything else I create.

There’s something about filming on real stock that changes the rhythm of a day. It slows things down. It asks you to notice light, movement, and moments as they pass. The result is an analogue layer that feels tactile, imperfect, and deeply human. A wedding film shaped by nostalgia rather than polish.

Super 8 isn’t for everyone. But if you’re drawn to character, texture, and the feeling of something made by hand, it offers a beautiful way to add depth to your story.

“Watching the videos takes us straight back to the feelings of the day. Not a moment was missed. Paul was genuinely such a friendly, positive energy to have around on the day.”

– Charlotte & Lewis

From £2,500, for couples who want to remember how it felt

What is included? The Story Film covers your day from two and a half hours before the ceremony until half an hour after your first dance. You’ll get a short film to share, a trailer, your full story film, and separate films of your ceremony and speeches. Travel anywhere in the UK is included.

Most couples spend between £2,500 and £3,500, depending on whether they add Super 8, an archive film of everything filmed on the day, or one of the other extras.

“It felt like a scrapbook of memories.” One couple’s way of describing their film, and honestly, it’s stuck with me ever since. That’s the feeling I’m always chasing.

If this feels like your kind of story, start here. I’ll check your date and get back to you personally with my full information booklet, so you can see everything properly before deciding anything.

Most couples who reach this point already have a good sense of whether this feels right.
