We Tell
THINK ALL WEDDING FILMS ARE THE SAME?
Hi, I’m James Tracey, an award winning Yorkshire documentary wedding videographer with more than 14 years of experience filming weddings throughout Yorkshire, the UK and beyond. I’ve filmed over 500 weddings, creating cinematic wedding films that tell each story honestly and emotionally.
My films are for couples who want their wedding captured naturally, without staging or direction. I document weddings as they unfold, focusing on real moments, atmosphere, and energy. The result is a film that reflects your wedding day as it really was. A genuine record of the people and the moments that defined your wedding.
Because in years to come, you won’t remember the details.
You’ll remember how it felt.
"From start to finish, James made the process seamless, the highest quality of work and professionalism, we couldn’t recommend using his services more."
Documentary-Style Wedding Videography in YORKSHIRE
Hi, I’m James, a proud Yorkshireman and a professional documentary wedding videographer. That’s me in my office above, then there’s my beautiful wife Laura and our girls, Jaime and Ana, on the actual Central Perk set in Hollywood. Finally, an action shot of me filming at real wedding.
In these three photos you’ve got everything that’s important in my world. My work, holidays and most of all, my family (and Friends, we all love Friends!)
Being a Yorkshire wedding videographer was not my childhood dream job (that was to be a train driver)….
"James was such a pleasure to have on our wedding. The films he has created for us are SO good. They tell a story of our day and his filming is so creative."
Rebecca & Joseph – Camblesforth Hall
MY PROMISE:
"I WILL MAKE AN AUTHENTIC, UNIQUE FILM FOR EACH COUPLE."
"I WANT YOU TO SPEND YOUR WEDDING DAY WITH YOUR FAMILY & FRIENDS, BEING IN THE MOMENT, WHILST I QUIETLY CAPTURE YOUR STORY AS IT UNFOLDS."
Your wedding day is one of the rare times everyone you love is in the same place. It moves quickly, and the real meaning is often found in the moments you don’t notice while they’re happening.
Imagine having films of your parents’ and grandparents’ weddings. Seeing them young, in love, surrounded by the people who shaped your own story. Hearing their voices and feeling a connection to a time you were not yet part of.
That is what I create.
Cinematic wedding videography that becomes part of your family history, growing in meaning with every year that passes.
Not just a record of how your wedding looked, but something that brings you back into what it felt like to be there.
"James made us feel so at ease all day during filming. He captured the emotion of our day perfectly and we will treasure these films for the rest of our lives."
