With mixed emotions and after much thought, I have decided that I’m not taking on any more wedding bookings and that the time is right for me to close HedgehogVideo down, having filmed and delivered my last wedding this week.

Thank you to every couple who trusted me to capture their wedding day, that trust in me and allowing me to be part of one of the most special days in your lives was and will always be one of the greatest privileges in my life and I have special memories from every single wedding I filmed, which will stay with me always.

I filmed 100 weddings and commercial promotional films combined and created over 140 hours of fully edited footage.

I put my heart and soul into the business, creating the website in late 2016 and filming my first two weddings for free back in 2017 to prove I could do it and start building my portfolio. The business grew year on year as my reputation grew in the industry, supported by some amazing wedding suppliers and wedding venues who helped me all through my journey (I have tagged many of them below) along with my incredible wife who supported me through the good and tougher days.

I am sure it won’t be the last of me filming, I do have some ideas which could be best described as passion projects I would like to follow, which I will share on this page in the future.

So, a massive thank you again to every couple who invited me to be part of their wedding day, it was an absolute pleasure and honour!

When you have planned and dreamed of getting married outside in the woods for years and then on the day of your wedding it starts raining, I mean really raining, what do you do? For Kat & Sam the answer was simple, you embrace the rain and just go for it!

I am not going to lie, filming outside in the pouring rain is really not easy, cameras and audio equipment don’t like getting wet, but this was not my first wet wedding, so I have rain covers for my cameras and like Kat & Sam, I embraced the rain and was thrilled to be able to capture their whole wedding day.

Being England in the summer, the rain made way for a sunset and we were all able to get outside and get some more wonderful footage.

Massive thank you to Kat & Sam, along with their friends and family for letting me be part of their epic wedding.

Great to work alongside Laura Dean Photography again, we make a super team 😉

Big thanks to Dorset Weddings who were their usual very helpful selves. Hope you've dried off.

It was great being back at the stunning Tithe Barn in the lovely village of Symondsbury to capture the wedding of Amelia and Liam.

It seems to have rained almost every day since their wedding, which just highlights how lucky they were to have a dry day this summer.

A huge thank you for letting me be part of your very special day.

Great to see Mark from Pegasus Disco and work alongside Kirsty Hardiman Photography for the first time.

Lastly a big shout out to the team from Symondsbury Estate for all their help on the day.

It’s great to be able to share the last wedding I filmed in 2022, the very lovely Kerry and Joe got married at Dillington House on the 17th December. Early morning frost made way for a glimpse of the sun in the afternoon.
Congratulations to Kerry & Joe and cheers to a lifetime of love and happiness and a big thank you for letting me capture your wonderful winter wedding day.

Something a little different to celebrate Christmas here at Hedgehogvideo, all these pictures were created using AI, I asked the AI system for either paintings of hedgehogs at Christmas or hedgehogs getting married (a very common request I'm sure 🤣). It created all these original works, some better than others!

A massive thank you to all the couples that trusted me this year to capture their weddings, it was another fantastic year. 2023 coming soon 😉 🦔

Dorset has many amazing wedding venues, but Lulworth Castle is one of the few that couples are happy to travel hundreds of miles to hold their weddings at due to it's grandeur and beautiful setting. Rachel and her family have holidayed in Lulworth for many years and the area and castle hold many memories for them all.

I was thrilled to be asked by Rachel & Adam to capture them creating new, very special memories at the castle. Seeing them so happy with their lovely friends and family was a real joy.

It was great to see Kevin taking the ceremony, he is always very helpful and a great ambassador for Dorset Weddings

A big thank you to the team at Lulworth Castle for their help on the day.

Mapperton House's gardens were the stunning backdrop for Daniela & Zayd's very special wedding. Their personal vows, speeches and readings made their wedding so individual and highlight what a wonderful couple they are and how loved they both are by family and friends.

I loved creating their films as much as I loved filming their wedding day.

I had such a fantastic day filming Chloe and Zac's wedding, starting at the magnificent Milton Abbey and then on to their reception at a stunning private location outside Blandford Forum.

It was a day full of fun, love and beauty. I count myself very lucky to have been part of their stunning wedding day.

I finally got to film a wedding ceremony in the stunning gardens at Mapperton Weddings on Saturday. These two images are screen grabs from the raw video footage and just give a tiny taste of the stunning setting and the film I will be creating 😀

I love filming at St Giles House, it is one of the finest wedding venues in Dorset and is simply stunning. So I was thrilled to be asked to film Mel & Dave's wedding there. What made the day even more special was their wedding ceremony was held in Wimborne St. Giles church, just a very short walk from the house.

A heart felt thank you to Mel & Dave for trusting me to capture their amazing wedding.

I love filming weddings at new venues and Pylewell Park- Weddings and Events was another stunning venue on my bucket list. So I was thrilled to film Ellie & Ryan's wonderful wedding there.

Great to work alongside Darren from DLPhotography for the first time and he was kind enough to share some drone footage with me.

Tunnels Beaches has been on my bucket list of venues I've always wanted to film a wedding at. Sophie & Guy made that dream come true when they invited me to capture their day and what a day it was! A couple very much in love, a stunning venue by the sea in North Devon and weather and a sunset that dreams are made of.

A massive thank you to Sophie & Guy, their family and friends along with the venue team for making it such an amazing day. Can't wait to come back.

My Story

My name is Dave and I love filming and editing weddings, my complete focus is on the quality of the finished films I create as well as the customer service I supply. I’m a full time wedding film maker, but also enjoy the variety that filming other subjects gives me. In many ways this variety keeps me fresh.

I’m lucky to be able to live on the stunning Dorset, Devon and Somerset border with my wife Susanne and our sometime crazy springer spaniel Jasper.

So if you are looking for your wedding day to be captured, a business promotion film created or your event shown off to its very best, please contact me. I would love to talk through your requirements.

Dave, Susanne & Jasper
