The Story
Why Plus One Wedding Films? So much choice out there, but heres why I believe im doing things different. I love filming weddings. I have been in the industry for about 15 years. but its not my only work, I also co own a commercial video production company (Sound & Colour Films) who work with high end clients including F1, Premiere League clubs, EA Sports and Booking .com to name a few, working in this sector, you have to work hard, deliver high end content and constantly develop ideas and this passes over to the Weddings I work on. I aim to keep them as high end as a commercial production.
I want to avoid any wedding cliches and perceptions of a wedding film. Each film has to feel unique and capture the atmosphere of the day. I want you watch it back and be taken right back there, feeling the fun and energy. I only edit a circa 10 minute highlight as I want the the wedding film to leave you wanting more and not something you have to skip through but a tightly packaged highlight of the day which takes you through the motions.
Lastly, it needs to look amazing. I only film using high end cine cameras and the finest prime lenses. Delivering a film which tells a story along with a cinematic quality this is why I feel strongly about wanting to be considered one of the premium wedding production companies out there.
About Me
My Name is Rick, I have two beautiful girls and I have worked in weddings for 16 years. I live in Lancashire near Longton which is between Preston and Southport. I love the outdoors, travelling and mostly spending time with my amazing Family. Im a massive fan of F1 and feel fortunate I get to work in this sector to. Ive seen The TV show Sopranos maybe 8 times and the film Casino a great deal more. Punk Rock music is my go to and Japanese food also. I often get asked any dietary requirements, non at all but I hate butter on bread.

The Wedding Process
Pre Wedding
I don't take any bookings for granted and each wedding booking honestly makes my day as it feels like an invite to spend the day with you, you're friends and family. Each booking is unique and I tailor each wedding film to suit what you are after, this starts with an introduction over the phone or in person to chat over the big day. When it gets a little closer to the Wedding I tend to reach out again just to check all is good and to get an updated running order of the day. On a side note, I only ask for 10% Deposit and full payment is within 7 days of the Wedding.
The Wedding Day
I cover everything on the day from Bridal Prep to just after first dance unless otherwise agreed. Im really discreet and certainly don't like to be intrusive. Its your day and Im there to document it for you. With that in mind whoever the Photographer I will work side by side with them to make it as easy as possible.
Post Wedding
On the edits I always aim to get the content out as soon as possible. If you have a Teaser film this will be within 14 days. I will always ask you if you have any preferred music options, my edits have a certain style and flow and I lean very much towards indie / acoustic genres. Everything is uploaded online on this website with your own page so you can share away. I will also send over the 4K files so you can upload to socials, YouTube etc
