Jonny Noakes Films Chester | Cheshire Wedding Videographer & Photographer
- 4 The Courtyard, Chester CH3 5BU
Based in Cheshire and filming weddings throughout the UK and beyond, Lewis Films is a professional wedding videography company specialising in cinematic wedding films that capture the emotion, atmosphere, and story of each couple’s wedding day. Drawing upon years of experience in television and digital film production, Lewis Films brings a high-end filmmaking approach to weddings while maintaining a relaxed and unobtrusive presence throughout the celebration.
For many couples, photographs capture how a wedding looked, but video captures how it felt. The laughter during the speeches, the emotion of the ceremony, the reactions of family and friends, and the countless moments that pass by so quickly on the day itself can all be preserved through a professionally crafted wedding film. Lewis Films specialises in creating these lasting memories through beautifully edited cinematic productions designed to be watched and enjoyed for years to come.
Whether filming an intimate Cheshire wedding, a luxury country house celebration, a destination wedding abroad, or a large marquee reception, the company focuses on telling each couple’s unique story through carefully captured footage and thoughtful editing.
No two weddings are ever the same.
Every couple has their own personalities, relationships, traditions, and vision for the day. Lewis Films believes wedding films should reflect these differences rather than following a standard formula.
Before the wedding, the team arranges a consultation, either in person or via video call, allowing couples to discuss their plans, priorities, and any particular moments they would like captured. This collaborative approach helps ensure the final film feels personal and authentic to the people at the centre of the celebration.
Rather than producing identical edits for every client, Lewis Films creates bespoke films tailored to each wedding, ensuring every story is told in a way that reflects the atmosphere and character of the day itself.
One of the key factors that distinguishes Lewis Films is its background in professional television and digital film production.
The company draws upon years of experience working within the film and media industry, bringing technical expertise, storytelling skills, and professional production standards to wedding videography.
This experience is reflected not only in the visual quality of the footage but also in the way each wedding film is structured and edited. Rather than simply documenting events as they happen, Lewis Films focuses on creating a narrative that captures the emotions, relationships, and atmosphere that made the day special.
The result is a wedding film that feels cinematic while remaining genuine and true to the experience itself.
Many couples worry about feeling uncomfortable in front of a camera.
Lewis Films adopts a relaxed and unobtrusive filming style designed to allow couples and guests to enjoy the day naturally. Rather than directing every moment or constantly asking people to pose, the focus is on capturing genuine interactions and authentic emotions as they happen.
This documentary-style approach allows the day to unfold organically while ensuring important moments are preserved without disruption.
From nervous anticipation during morning preparations to emotional vows, heartfelt speeches, and lively evening celebrations, the camera quietly records the moments that matter most.
The result is a wedding film that feels natural, honest, and emotionally engaging.
Lewis Films invests heavily in professional filmmaking equipment to ensure every wedding is captured to the highest possible standard.
The company uses Netflix-approved Sony FX6 cinema cameras, equipment typically associated with professional film and television production. These cameras deliver exceptional image quality, outstanding low-light performance, and cinematic visuals that help elevate the finished wedding film.
Alongside professional camera systems, Lewis Films also uses specialist audio equipment to capture vows, speeches, and important moments with clarity and precision.
This combination of professional-grade video and audio ensures couples receive a film that not only looks beautiful but also preserves the sounds and emotions that made the day memorable.
When weather and venue permissions allow, Lewis Films also incorporates aerial drone footage into its productions.
Drone filming can add an additional layer of visual storytelling by showcasing wedding venues, landscapes, countryside settings, and outdoor celebrations from unique perspectives.
For Cheshire country estates, manor houses, castles, barns, and marquee weddings, aerial footage often provides stunning establishing shots that help place the wedding within its surroundings.
These cinematic elements are carefully woven into the final edit to create a polished and visually engaging film.
Lewis Films offers a range of wedding videography packages designed to suit different requirements and budgets.
Packages can include one or two camera operators covering the entire day, full ceremony recordings, complete speech coverage, cinematic highlight films, drone footage, social media teaser edits, and professionally edited feature-length films.
One particularly popular feature is the delivery of a social media teaser within approximately one week of the wedding, allowing couples to relive key moments and share highlights with family and friends shortly after the celebration.
Final films are then delivered digitally and via USB, providing a lasting keepsake that can be enjoyed for years to come.
Although based in Cheshire, Lewis Films regularly travels throughout the UK and internationally.
The company’s portfolio includes weddings at prestigious Cheshire venues such as Mottram Hall, Peckforton Castle, and Swettenham Arms, alongside destination weddings in locations including Majorca and celebrations throughout the UK.
This flexibility allows couples to work with a videographer whose style they love regardless of where their wedding takes place.
Whether planning a local Cheshire wedding or a destination celebration abroad, Lewis Films offers the same commitment to quality and storytelling.
A wedding day passes incredibly quickly.
Many couples comment that the day feels like a blur once the celebrations are over. A professionally produced wedding film allows them to revisit those moments whenever they wish, seeing reactions they may have missed and hearing voices and speeches again years later.
Lewis Films understands the emotional value of these memories and approaches every wedding with the responsibility and care that such an important occasion deserves.
Their goal is not simply to record events but to create a film that transports couples back to one of the most important days of their lives every time they press play.
Couples choose Lewis Films because of its combination of professional filmmaking experience, cinematic production values, personalised service, and relaxed approach to wedding videography.
