GLOUCESTERSHIRE WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHER
Natural & Cinematic Wedding Videography in Gloucestershire
Welcome to Gardner Films. I'm Nigel, a wedding videographer based in Stroud, Gloucestershire, creating natural, cinematic wedding films for couples across the county and beyond.
From the Cotswolds countryside to beautiful country estates, historic venues and celebrations in Cheltenham, Cirencester, Gloucester and the surrounding areas, I focus on capturing your wedding as it actually happens - naturally, quietly and without taking you away from your guests.
This is me!
A huge congratulations on your engagement!
Planning a wedding can be exciting, but choosing the right suppliers can sometimes feel like another job in itself.
My approach to wedding videography is deliberately simple. I want you to enjoy your day while I quietly capture the moments, people and atmosphere that make it yours.
Based in Stroud, I'm ideally placed for weddings throughout Gloucestershire, while also regularly travelling across the Cotswolds, Bristol and beyond.
A little about me…
To be honest, I had no idea wedding videography was even a thing until a friend mentioned it! I’ve always loved cinema though, so discovering the opportunity to create cinematic, documentary-style wedding films across the Cotswolds - it was a huge lightbulb moment!
I’m getting married in 2027, so I’m currently going through wedding planning myself (though to be honest, it’s my fiancee Rose who’s doing all the heavy lifting)
You can take a look at some of the weddings I’ve filmed around the Cotswolds below, along with my packages. Or, if you’d rather chat first, get in touch here :)
Gloucestershire Wedding Videographer
I've been fortunate to film weddings at some beautiful Gloucestershire venues, with celebrations ranging from intimate winter weddings to large summer celebrations.
Some of the Gloucestershire weddings and venues I've filmed include Stonehouse Court in Stroud, the Royal Agricultural University in Cirencester and the DoubleTree by Hilton in Cheltenham. I've also filmed at venues around the wider Cotswolds and South West.
Every wedding is different, and that's what makes filming them so enjoyable. I'm interested in the people, the atmosphere and all the little moments that make your day unmistakably yours.
Laura & Damon chose to get married at De Vere Tortworth Court on the edge of the Cotswolds. You can read my blog post about their gorgeous wedding here!

COTSWOLDS WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHER
MY APPROACH
Gorgeous Gloucestershire Wedding Venues
It’s not lost on me that The Cotswolds is truly an extraordinary place to film weddings. Recently, I’ve had the privilege of capturing weddings at some incredible venues including:
and (fun fact) I was the first person ever to film at Stone Barn - for my sister's wedding!
What makes filming in the Cotswolds so special goes far beyond the venues themselves. The rolling hills, quiet country lanes, golden stone villages and sweeping landscapes provide a cinematic backdrop at every turn, helping create wedding films that feel both timeless and deeply personal.
Combined with the amazing couples I get to work with, the result is a wedding film full of genuine atmosphere, emotion and unforgettable moments.
Wedding Videography Style
Planning your Gloucestershire wedding and searching for the right videographer can feel overwhelming - but you’re already in the right place.
My approach is relaxed, natural and documentary-led. I won’t spend the day staging moments or pulling you away from your guests. Instead, I focus on capturing everything as it genuinely happens - the atmosphere, the emotion, and all the little moments you might miss in the moment.
Wedding Videography Gear
I film using professional but low-profile equipment, which allows me to blend into the day without becoming a distraction. Most couples tell me they barely noticed the cameras were there.
A pre-wedding chat
Before the wedding, we’ll also have a relaxed chat to go through your plans, get to know each other properly, and make sure the films feel personal to you rather than formulaic.
If you'd like to see how this all comes together, take a look through my wedding film gallery to watch some recent films.
Beautiful Gloucestershire Wedding Venues
Gloucestershire has an incredible variety of wedding venues, from elegant country houses and historic estates to characterful barns and venues surrounded by countryside.
I've been fortunate enough to film at venues including Stonehouse Court, the Royal Agricultural University and DoubleTree by Hilton, Cheltenham, as well as other venues across the county and surrounding Cotswolds.
Whether you're getting married near Stroud, Cheltenham, Cirencester, Gloucester or elsewhere in Gloucestershire, I'll capture the character of your venue alongside the people and moments that make your day unique.

FAQ
-
It's best to book 6-12 months in advance, especially for peak wedding seasons. This ensures availability and allows me to book travel with less friction.
-
Some of my favourite venues in Gloucestershire include Stone Barn, for that modern barn feel, Kingscote Barn for the epic rolling hills or Matara for something a little different.
-
I cover weddings up to around 2 hours from my base in Stroud, Gloucestershire. After that, I usually require a hotel stay to minimise the risk of either getting stuck in traffic, or driving tired.
-
I usually arrive 2-3 hours before the ceremony to capture lots of the getting ready bits. I'll then stick around after your first dance for that first wave of dancing, before leaving you to enjoy your party!
-
Absolutely! I love using drone footage to showcase the beauty of your wedding location. As long as conditions allow - both legally and weather-wise. I’ll always aim to include stunning aerial shots to add an extra touch to your wedding film.
-
I have a strong emphasis on story-telling in my films, so I thread the ceremony and speeches throughout, including bits in the background of the film to tell the story of you and your day. See my portfolio for some examples.
