There’s a big difference between owning a camera and knowing what to do with it. If you’ve ever hired someone who turned up, filmed quietly, and delivered something forgettable two weeks later - you already know.
  • A professional videographer doesn’t just film what’s in front of them. They ask questions before the shoot starts. Who’s the audience? What platforms will this go on? What tone do you need? Where are the high-value moments?
They film for the edit - not just for the sake of capturing footage.

What makes a videographer ‘Professional’?

It’s not about flashy kit. Or memorising camera specs. We know all that, of course, but what really sets someone apart is their thinking.
A proper videographer shows up sharp. They handle pressure. They adapt when things shift. They don’t just aim to “get the shot” they aim to deliver something that’s actually useful to your business.

That usually means:

  • Planning interviews with a structure that feels natural
  • Helping nervous speakers look and sound confident
  • Picking angles and setups that actually work in real-world spaces
  • Working quickly across busy schedules without missing anything important
  • Recording crisp sound even in noisy environments
  • Backing up footage as they shoot - no excuses
  • And later, in the edit - they know what to cut, how to pace it, what not to overdo, and how to shape something that reflects your brand.

We handle the problems you never want to deal with

One of the biggest signs of a professional is what happens when things don’t go to plan. A mic cuts out. A speaker doesn’t turn up. A venue changes lighting five minutes before a keynote.
We’ve worked in crowded press pits, unlit meeting rooms, freezing rooftops, echoey halls, and chaotic product launches where the schedule ran two hours late. We’ve recorded clean audio in wind. We’ve stabilised footage on moving boats. We’ve had to light panel discussions with five minutes’ notice.
The difference? We don’t panic. We solve problems quietly and keep rolling. Clients often don’t even realise there was an issue - because we don’t bring stress to set.
This is why having a real videographer on your side matters. Not just for the footage, but for everything that could go wrong between the call sheet and the export.
What we actually do
We are London-based production team; yet, we often travel for shoots. We shoot interviews, conferences, brand films, campaign launches, documentaries, BTS content, and any fast-turnaround events. Our work has seen the spotlight with Richard Branson and Alexander Usyk; Rolls Royce plc, Newsweek, and startups across Europe.

Sometimes we’re just two people - a DoP and a producer. Sometimes we bring a full crew, with sound, lighting, and multiple cameras. We scale depending on your project and build a crew that fits.

Where a professional videographer makes a difference:
  • Live events - no retakes, no script, and no safety net
  • Time-sensitive shoots - when you need edits within 24 hours
  • Brand launches - where multiple edits are needed from a single shoot
  • Filming nervous speakers - guiding them gently to get the best soundbite
  • Shaping the final edit - to work across social, PR, and internal comms
We’ve done all of the above. Many times
More than a camera operator
We don’t just show up with kit. We start by asking how the content will be used. We often join client calls to help shape the brief: what assets will you need after this? What formats? How many versions? Are you thinking about LinkedIn? Instagram? YouTube? Internal decks?
  • We’ve helped brands rethink their shoot plans to save money, reduce edit time, and get better results - before we even filmed a single frame.
  • This kind of thinking is part of the service. We’re not just here to press record. We’re here to make the shoot actually work for you.
Our rates
  • from £850
    Half-day shoot

    • One professional videographer

    • Compact lighting setup

    • Pro audio (lapel or shotgun mics)

    • Single-camera filming

    • Basic editing included



    This is best for short interviews, product b-roll, behind-the-scenes, or fast filming needs with a tight schedule. You’ll still get polished results - it’s just built for speed and simplicity. Ideal if you only need 1–2 short edits or a short highlight video. We can also shoot vertical-first if it’s mainly for social.

  • From £1,750
    Full-day shoot

    • Two-camera setup

    • One or two videographers

    • Lighting and sound

    • More comprehensive filming (multi-scenes, multiple locations or interviews)

    • Edited deliverables as agreed upfront



    This is our most booked option. Great for filming an event, brand story, campaign video, or multi-purpose content that needs various cuts: long-form, short-form, social, YouTube, internal comms, etc. It gives us time to shape more refined footage, record clean sound, and film plenty of useful cutaways. You’ll get more from the day and a stronger content bank for repurposing.

  • from £3000
    Full crew

    • Producer-led team

    • Director of Photography (DOP), sound engineer, gaffer (lighting), assistant camera

    • Multi-cam setup

    • Custom lighting plan for interviews or stage filming

    • Option to add teleprompter, drone, BTS shooters

    • Priority editing or same-day turnaround available



    This is designed for complex productions: high-level corporate content, conference coverage, product launches, and brand campaigns where every detail matters. We handle pre-production, build a shot list, liaise with your team, and execute a well-paced shoot that works around your schedule.

    It’s also the best fit if you’ve got multiple speakers, need subtitles and graphics added, or want us to deliver multiple edits from the same event.

Final costs vary depending on travel, crew size, edit complexity, and turnaround needs. We always recommend a quick call first to shape the right setup - we don’t upsell, and we won’t let you book something you don’t need.
  • Need video and photography? We offer combined packages too - keeps things simple, consistent, and more cost-effective.
And yes - we’re fast. If you need next-day or even same-day delivery, we can build that into the schedule. We’ve done it for campaigns, events, press moments, and investor decks. You just need to let us know upfront so we can plan crew and editors accordingly.

Recent projects


  • Newsweek leadership forum: We covered a full-day event with multiple panels and high-level speakers. Three cameras, two operators, full edit of each panel, plus a fast-cut highlights video used for PR and social.
  • Fast Growth Icons: Filmed multiple founder talks and created a teaser within 24 hours. One-minute reels. Speaker quotes. Clean, fast, branded.
  • Trafalgar Square launch: Filmed Richard Branson, Oleksandr Usyk, and Jack Gleeson - sourced an extra crew overnight and delivered the final photo set within 20 minutes of the event ending. Video went out same day.
We’ve also worked with Aviva, Luxoft, Rolls Royce plc, Databet, United24, and a mix of startups and agencies who wanted content that actually had purpose.
Final thought
You don’t hire a professional videographer to tick a box. You hire one because you need the footage to work across teams, channels, and timelines.

We bring the gear, yes - but more importantly, we bring the attitude, the speed, and the thinking behind it.

FAQ

How do I choose the right videographer for my brand or event?
Look for someone whose style aligns with your brand, has experience in similar shoots, and can clearly explain their process. A strong portfolio is key - but so is good communication and flexibility on set.
Can one shoot produce multiple videos for different platforms?
Yes. We often film with multi-platform delivery in mind, capturing enough footage to create long-form edits, short social clips, vertical crops, and story-style snippets - all from a single shoot day.
Why should videographers join client calls before the shoot?
Pre-shoot calls help align on goals, tone, logistics, and priorities. It avoids surprises on set and ensures the videographer understands the brand voice, content strategy, and what's most important to capture.
How do videographers film when the schedule runs late?
We stay adaptable. Whether we shift priorities, condense shots, or simplify coverage, we work around real-time changes while still protecting the quality and story of the final edit.
Why is it important to record backup audio and footage?
Tech can fail - cards corrupt, batteries die, someone bumps a mic. Having backup audio and secondary camera angles ensures nothing critical is lost and gives more flexibility in post-production.
