Cotswolds Wedding Videographer
Cinematic & Natural Wedding Videography in the Cotswolds
Hello!
Welcome to Fox Films! I’m James and I’m a Cotswolds wedding videographer based near the gateway to the Cotswolds in Thame, Oxfordshire.
Thanks for visiting my website, and more specifically this ‘Cotswolds wedding videographer’ page that’s specifically tailored for you, a couple getting married in the Cotswolds! Well, I used to work in marketing so these skills do come in handy!
Rest assured, everything you read and watch on this page isn’t recycled and has been created specifically for you and your wedding in The Cotswolds!
Congratulations!
Let me begin with a huge congratulations on your engagement!
I hope you’re enjoying everything ‘wedding planning’ so far! As a wedding videographer, I’m usually either first or last to be picked as a wedding supplier – and I absolutely don’t mind when I get picked! However, my diary for 2023 and 2024, and even 2025 are beginning to fill, so I do recommend you get in touch sooner rather than later.
A Bit About Me
This isn’t a career I’ve fallen into, I absolutely love filming weddings in the Cotswolds and pride myself on producing cinematic, documentary-style wedding films for my couples to look back on for a lifetime.
I’m getting married myself in 2023, so I’m in the same boat as you at the moment. Although, I’ve been told to tell you all that my wonderful partner Zoë is doing most of the work.
You can find out more about weddings I’ve filmed in and around The Cotswolds below and the package that I offer. But if you are keen to chat with me without reading on, please do get in touch with me by tapping the button below!
This is me!

Beautiful Cotswolds Wedding Venues
OK, so I might be biased as I live here, but filming weddings in The Cotswolds is just incredible.
I’ve been lucky enough to have been asked to be a Cotswolds wedding videographer at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, Primrose Hill Farm, and Parish’s House Bath to name but a few.
However, it’s not just these stunning venues that make being a Cotswolds wedding videographer so exciting. I find so much quality content in the surroundings of the Cotswolds itself including its jaw-dropping countryside vistas.
All of this, combined with the wonderful couples I work with makes for a stunning finished wedding film. You won’t be disappointed!
Cotswolds Wedding Videographer
My Approach
You have already taken the first step to find your videographer for your Cotswolds wedding!
Let me help you understand how I'll film your big day.
Wedding Videography Style
My style and approach to Cotswolds wedding videography (in fact all wedding filmmaking regardless of location), is to do so in a natural, candid, and documentary style.
Rather than staging shots, my candid approach allows me to capture the finer details of your Cotswolds venue, and the special moments and emotions at your wedding.
Wedding Videography Equipment
My wedding videography equipment is professional, yet entirely unintrusive. Gone are the days of using huge cameras (how it used to be when I did this over a decade ago), which means I can integrate rather than intrude on you or your guests throughout the day. More often than not, people don’t even realise I’m filming!
Pre-Wedding Chat
I work with all of my couples getting married in The Cotswolds (and beyond) before their wedding with a free wedding videography chat. This is a really important step to go through my approach in more detail, discuss your day and find out more about you so I can tailor my wedding videography approach to suit you.

FAQ
Are you a videographer based in The Cotswolds?
Where many videographers have pages on their website offering Cotswolds wedding videography, I am actually located in what is called the gateway to The Cotswolds in Thame!, Oxfordshire.
I film weddings both locally here in Oxfordshire and in neighbouring counties and regions including Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, The Cotswolds, Hertfordshire, Warwickshire, Bedfordshire & Surrey. If for some reason you’ve ended up here and you’re not in The Cotsolds I’m also happy to travel further, so please get in touch.
When will we get our wedding video?
You will get your one-minute highlight film between 1-2 weeks after your wedding (hopefully sooner!)
The feature film may take between 8-12 weeks depending on time of year. I of course keep you informed throughout the process and if I need a bit more time, I will let you know as soon as possible.
Can I choose the music?
As part of the editing process, I will select the music for your film to reflect the vibe of your wedding video. It is an integral part of the editing process that I select from a licensed library of music, and largely dictates and reflects the end result of the video.
Due to copyright law, we can’t use Michael Bublé or anything else commercially released. However, the music I use is professional quality and trust me, you’ll be Adele’d and Bublé’d out after your wedding anyway!
I’m always happy to hear suggestions from you of any particular style you’d like to capture. I can also send you a list of tracks for you to choose from.
Simply get in touch with me and I will arrange a suitable time with you to have a video call and discuss you wedding videography requirements.
All I’d require once you’re happy to go ahead is a £300 deposit upon booking and the remaining balance six weeks before your wedding day.
I believe in capturing the moments of natural beauty rather than directing you into place. The natural reactions of you, your families and friends are the ones that you will look back upon and relive those intense emotions for years to come.
No one wants to look back at a forced, uncomfortable pose! But hey, if you want to pretend to be a character from The Avengers, go for it – I may just keep it in (or most likely leave it out)!
Boring bit… but yes, I hold all necessary public liability insurance. I can supply all certification to you or the venue directly once our booking is confirmed.
