    I have a very unobtrusive, fly on the wall approach, so they won’t even notice I’m there!

  • Romantic & Emotive

    Using slow motion, I'll bring out those beautiful intimate moments between the newly weds. I love to use natural light and colours especially those golden hour tones.

  • Cinematic & Nostalgic

    Through using drone footage, top quality camera's and the latest colour grading technology, you will get an expensive cinematic feel.

    Blending different filming techniques, you’ll receive four timeless films, for you to look back on in years to come.

  • Rohanne & Connor

    “Where do I even begin to explain how amazing Shan was on our wedding day?! From the moment we met Shan & saw her work we knew we needed her to capture our special day and it was the best investment we could have made!

    We barely noticed we were being filmed on the day but the amount of gorgeous moments Shan managed to capture really blew us away!

    Watching our video back we laughed, we cried and we just couldn’t believe how beautifully every moment and detail of our day was portrayed. Shan has such an eye for detail and you can see how much love and attention she pours into her work!”

  • Lauren & Matt

    “We chose Shan to shoot our wedding and this was easily one of the best decisions we made.

    We were so blown away when we saw the initial trailer which was edited perfectly in tandem with our venue and entertainment. Shan completely understood that we wanted candid, natural shots and were blown away by the moments that have been captured…without us even knowing we were being filmed!

    The gift box presentation is so lovely and unique, which is really special. We cannot recommend Shan enough!”

  • Robyn & Jake

    “Best of the best!

    Shan really captures everything and more, parts of our wedding we didn’t even get to see! We sit down and watch our wedding video regularly, and it gets us every time. Shan was made for this job, and we couldn’t be happier that she was part of our big day, we will be forever thankful.”

  • Marysia & Alex

    “Shan and Josh make a great videography team! The final output for our wedding video was just what we wanted - nice and candid.

    Shan is friendly, professional and listened to what I wanted to get out of the final video. It was great to have a catchup ahead of the wedding to discuss the details too.

    On the day Shan was discreet with her filming which was perfect because you don't necessarily want to feel like you're being recorded the whole day but she managed to capture the day perfectly.

    I would highly recommend Story by Shan!”

  • Hannah & Johnny

    “The video is absolutely beautiful, better than we could ever have imagined! Apart from her apparent talent, which speaks for itself when looking at her work, Shan is so friendly and professional. We met with her at our venue before the wedding so that we could discuss exactly what we’d like and plan the perfect shots.

    On the day itself, Shan was so calm and friendly, which was lovely when the nerves started to kick in! She managed to capture absolutely everything, yet she did it so discreetly, which meant everyone felt so comfortable in front of the camera. No awkward laughs or forced smiles!

    We are so grateful that she managed to capture our special day so perfectly, and now we have the most stunning video to look back on. I will never stop recommending Shan! To any couples debating about whether to hire a videographer, my advice is to do it, and make sure it’s Shan!"

  • Georgiana & Scott

    “Shan is absolutely fantastic. From the moment we met Shan we knew we were going to book her, she is bubbly, warm and very easy to be around. You hardly notice Shan or her equipment on the day.

    Her videography is phenomenal!! So much more than we expected, we were absolutely blown away with our videos and will treasure them forever."

  • Bonnie & Chris

    Absolutely incredible! Choosing Story By Shan was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day.

    Shan is very friendly, professional and went above and beyond to capture our special day and we are over the moon with the end result. We started with many options when choosing a videographer but Shan's videos were always our favourite every time. We loved the tones and energy Shan captured in her videos.

    We decided to add on a second camera and Josh did an amazing job capturing the extra angles and drone shots which added so much to the end product.

    Shan was a pleasure to work with and always had time for our questions. We didn't feel too confident being in front of the camera but Shan made us both feel so relaxed which really helped on the day.

    If you want to have your special moments captured by the best in the business then I can't recommend Story By Shan enough.

  • Georgie & Joe

    “Incredible! Shan shot our wedding June 2023 and we were blown away. Each frame is so beautifully crafted and how she edits is simply perfect. Choosing Story by Shan was one of our best decisions we made. From the initial enquiry, right the way through to delivery she was fab! Highly recommend.”

  • Esmee & Sameem

    I could not recommend Shan highly enough. A truly excellent service from someone who clearly cares about their job. Stayed very late into the night to capture all the best bits.

    The video trailer was absolutely brilliant and edited so well, it completely surpassed any expectations I had. I’ve already watched it at least 20 times, family are fed up that I keep playing it.

    The video website was very easy to use, and the physical copy was beautifully thought out.

    I am so glad we found Shan to capture memories that will stay with us for life, thank you Shan

  • Hannah & Owen

    “Shan shot our wedding in October 2023 and we feel so fortunate that she did! Watching the videos back makes our hearts swell, memories last a lifetime but having those memories captured, edited and brought together so wonderfully completely encapsulates the magic of the day! Not only is Shan an amazing videographer she is a lovely person, who fitted into our day so brilliantly and made everyone feel at ease. Thank you so much Shan!”

  • Sarah & Ryan

    “We booked Shan for our wedding and we’re so pleased that we did. Shan set up a video call before which was really helpful as it allowed us to explain what we wanted captured for our wedding video. Her warmth and kindness put us at ease straight away & I knew then we’d made a good choice of supplier.

    On the day, Shan & Josh were so organised- we had both videographers which I would highly recommend as it meant nothing was missed! They were so friendly & very much got on with what they needed to do.

    It was lovely having the teaser trailer & I was so happy when the final films were sent through. I asked if something could be put together specifically for our first dance & Shan did this for us which we very much appreciated.

    Friends & family also love the films- it really is special being able to watch the day back.

    The gift box with the physical copy was a really lovely touch. Shan is a lovely person, an excellent videographer & we’d highly recommend!”

  • Thalia & Harrison

    “Shan and her partner, Josh, shot our wedding and I’m so glad we picked them! They were really easy to work with, super polite with everyone they met and gave us the most incredible video to remember our day. We recommend them to everyone!”

  • Olivia & Josh

    “Shan was absolutely amazing start to finish. I'm not used to being videoed at all and she made me and my bridesmaids feel completely at ease throughout the day.

    The film is absolutely amazing and I'm so happy I chose her to capture our wedding day"

Frequentley Asked Questions

get to know me

Why should we meet you before?

I’d love to meet you! This can help us get to know each other a little better, and really talk through your dream day to make sure I’ve got everything covered. It’s great to hear a couple's story beforehand, so I can do it justice through film. This can be arranged in person or online, and also with your photographer present.

Please let me know if you are having a rehearsal, as I can also attend this on request to really talk through any specific ideas and wishes.

Where do you travel to?

Everywhere! I’m based in Kent, but can travel far and wide to capture your day on request. If you are based outside Kent, please contact me for a quote including additional charges to cover accommodation and travel.

Are you insured?

Yes!

on the day

How long do we have with you?

Right from your bridal prep, all the way through to the dance floor. On average I leave around two hours after the first dance is scheduled, but I don’t clock watch as I want to make the best film possible. Please let me know if you're planning anything special for your send off or evening entertainment, so I can make sure I capture it.

Can we have drone footage?

I love to include aerial footage, as this can really show off your venue, and bring out the cinematic feel. This is dependent on your venue(‘s) permissions, location, timing, weather conditions and availability. Please ask your venue if drone footage is permitted.

Will I notice you’re there?

Not at all, I try to be as discreet as possible and capture natural candid moments between yourselves and your guests.

Do you tell us what to do?

Only if requested. I love to capture natural candid moments between you, and will only direct if you feel more comfortable that way.

When do we have our couple shots?

This is done alongside your photographer, and we can also schedule in a few minutes at golden hour to create those cinematic shots.

Do we need to provide you with food?

No, not at all! It's lovely to be catered for, but I absolutely do not expect it! Please let me know so I can be fully prepared for the day.

post production

How quick is your turn around?

I set a deadline of 8-10 weeks for each client. Depending on workload at the time, this can be delivered a lot quicker.

Is the music copyright free?

Yes, I source all of the music used within your film from MusicBed. This means you can post it to all social media platforms without worrying about it being taken down.

Do you edit the footage?

Using the latest colour grading technology, I'm able to bring out those rich colours you can see with the naked eye, on film.

Any questions?
