A day of love, laughter & timeless memories.
Looking for a wedding videographer at The Old Rectory Crostwick? Cindy & Darryl’s day shows what’s possible at this romantic Norfolk venue — filmed with golden-hour silhouettes, candid moments and the kind of natural storytelling that makes a wedding film worth rewatching for years.
Romantic gardens, fairy lights and easy, natural storytelling at The Old Rectory, Crostwick. I film unobtrusively so you can be fully present — and later relive your day in a cinematic highlight plus optional long-form edits.
Romantic gardens, cinematic storytelling.
Documentary-cinematic style
Authentic moments, clean audio, beautiful grade. The Old Rectory’s romantic gardens and fairy-lit interiors deserve documentary coverage that lets the venue and the moments speak for themselves — not constructed scenes that fight against the natural atmosphere.
Licensed drone highlights
Cinematic aerial reveals of The Old Rectory and gardens when safe and approved (weather and venue dependent). UK CAA licensed with full insurance. Used as accent rather than core coverage — one beautiful establishing shot beats five generic clips.
Chill direction only when helpful
No stiff posing. Gentle guidance for portraits, then I step back to capture the day as it unfolds. Cindy & Darryl’s sunset silhouette in the hero image is exactly the kind of moment that happens naturally when you’re not forcing it.
Fast preview delivery
Short preview clip within the week so the post-wedding buzz lasts. Full cinematic highlight film typically 8-12 weeks post-wedding. Optional long-form ceremony and speeches files alongside.

The Old Rectory Crostwick wedding videographer FAQs
Practical answers about booking a wedding videographer at The Old Rectory. Anything else? Send a message — replies within 24 hours.
Have you filmed at The Old Rectory before?
Yes — familiar with the timings, garden routes and wet-weather contingencies. I keep things calm and unobtrusive throughout the day.
Knowing The Old Rectory translates directly into smoother coverage. I know which spots catch the best golden-hour light, where guests naturally gather, and which corners work for atmospheric portraits when the gardens are at their best.
Can we add photography too?
Absolutely. Many Old Rectory couples choose a seamless photo + video package so everything matches in style and storytelling. One creative across both formats means consistent colour grading and a calmer wedding day.
Do you include drone shots at The Old Rectory?
Drone footage is available according to your selected package or quote, where safe conditions, airspace and venue permissions allow. The aerial footage in a previous wedding does not guarantee the same flight on another date. We discuss feasibility beforehand and keep the main photography and film coverage focused on the day itself.
How do we book?
Send your date and venue details via the contact page. I’ll confirm availability within 24 hours, then we’ll pick the right coverage for your day.
How do you capture golden-hour moments?
Timing and location. Most couples step away for 5-10 minutes at golden hour — the hour before sunset — for soft, atmospheric portraits and films. At The Old Rectory, the gardens come alive at this time of day, and the silhouette potential against the western sky is genuinely special.
No 45-minute formal portrait sessions taking you away from your guests — just enough time to capture something quietly magical.
How long until we get our wedding film?
Your booking confirmation sets out the delivery schedule for the films you have chosen, including any preview. A documentary film, highlight edit and full ceremony or speeches recording are different deliverables. Compare the current packages and tell me which versions you want before booking.
What if it rains on our Old Rectory wedding?
Rain doesn’t stop great filming — some of the most atmospheric wedding films come from overcast or rainy days. The Old Rectory’s fairy-lit interior spaces work beautifully for rain-day storytelling, and I always have a wet-weather plan ready.
Do we have to leave our guests for a long filming session?
No. We agree a short, relaxed portrait window and capture much of the rest as it happens. Share the moments you do not want to miss at the reception so we can plan around them. Outdoor timing remains flexible with the weather and light.
