Hi, I’m Stephen
Pronounced: STEVEN – IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING!
I’m so glad you found my site! As a wedding videographer based in Sussex, I specialise in creating documentary-style films that feel authentic and true to life. Alongside weddings, I also offer video services for businesses and pets, capturing the heart and personality behind each story. No matter the subject, I’m passionate about using film to preserve genuine moments that unfold naturally.
What drives me is the magic of unscripted moments—the small glances, spontaneous laughter, and heartfelt interactions that truly define an event or person. I believe every story is unique, and my goal is to capture your story through the lens, not mine. From the nervous excitement before the ceremony to the relaxed moments between it all, I focus on preserving the heart of the experience.
Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic and joyful wedding film, an emotional pet video, or an engaging documentary that showcases your business, I’d love to hear from you! Together, we can create something special—something you’ll treasure for years to come. Let’s talk about how I can help tell your story in the most authentic and meaningful way possible.

What is YourStory?
My History
I’ve been lucky enough to work with video cameras since the days of VHS tapes and DV-CAMs (yes, that’s old!). From the start, I’ve always loved using film to tell stories and capture emotion — most often through humour. In 2009, I launched a media company called HeartCo, which focused primarily on graphic and web design, and my passion for video became more of a hobby I indulged in whenever time allowed.
That changed in 2022 when I had the chance to film a wedding, reigniting a passion I hadn’t realised I’d missed. That wedding became the spark that started YourStory. Initially, it was an add-on to my wife’s photography business, OliveJoy Photography, giving me the opportunity to dive back into filmmaking. Now, with the time and space to tell stories through video once again, I’ve been able to fully rediscover what I love—and I haven’t looked back since.
My Passion
For me, film is all about telling the most authentic and emotional story possible through the lens. Every moment captured feels like a small piece of a larger story, unfolding naturally and beautifully. There’s something truly special about being present in those moments—whether it’s a quiet glance, a burst of laughter, or a heartfelt embrace—and preserving them in a way that feels real and meaningful. Each scene adds to the narrative, and my goal is always to capture the essence of what makes your story unique.
The excitement doesn’t end once the filming wraps. Editing is where the magic happens—where I weave together moments, layer them with music, and craft a seamless story that brings everything to life. I love how film has the power to evoke the same emotions time and time again, allowing people to relive their memories as vividly as the first time. Knowing that my work helps others hold onto these moments and feel that joy all over again is what makes every part of the process so rewarding.
Videography Services
I’ve spent nearly two decades working with video, and while technology and trends have evolved, the core of what I do remains the same—capturing your story through the lens. With years of experience and a toolkit of cutting-edge equipment, I’m passionate about bringing your stories to life. Although every story I film is unique, these are the main services I currently offer.
