My name is Sian and I am a filmmaker & photographer, I have been working as a freelance independent filmmaker since 2015 and I filmed my first wedding in 2019 (just before the famous lockdown!). I absolutely love the vibe of a wedding, I thrive off the excitement & the emotions of the day. There is nothing quite like capturing a day filled with such happiness and beauty; it is such a joy to be able create and tell a story with images.
​
I have always had a keen interest in the creative arts - particularly film & photography. I shot my first short films and photographs when I was in secondary school, I then proceeded to study Film & Theatre in London and I completed a Masters degree in Film & Philosophy where I solidified my passion for filmmaking. From 2015-2019, I created many short independent films which were exhibited in Festivals all over the world including: London, Berlin, the USA, Portugal and Ukraine.
​
I would say my 'vibe' is quite chilled and candid - this seems to be a reoccurring theme I have noticed in some of my reviews! I prefer to shoot in a 'documentary' style, where I hide away and focus on capturing raw emotions rather than shooting anything 'too staged'. However, a little posing can go a long way - but I prefer to go with how my clients feel on their day as everyone is different! Some clients prefer me to hide away and only capture candid moments, other clients love a photoshoot! Either way, it is up to you and we can discuss this prior to your wedding day.
I send all my clients photographs and film in both colour and black & white. Stylistically, I love the vintage and black & white look, I feel this adds a lovely 'timeless' effect to images; I also feel black & white draws out so much emotion! I have my own original 1970s super 8mm film camera which I am dying to use for weddings, I am currently experimenting with this camera but I planning to soon add this option to my wedding packages - so stay tuned!
My work is primarily in weddings but I also shoot... well basically anything! I have worked with many charities such as Oxford Against Cutting & BetKnowMore to produce video content raising awareness for their causes. I have also filmed and edited many independent films, promo videos for small businesses, music videos, personal / family photoshoots and many events spanning from birthdays to funerals! If you are interested in either my video or photography services please feel free to drop me a message and we can discuss your vision.

I would recommended to everyone, honestly so happy with our experience, five stars isn’t enough
Love Mr & Mrs Atkinson xx"

Sian's biggest selling point is her calmness and ease around you, the bridal party and the guests. And that's not even mentioning her professional skill and creative eye she will provide to you on the day!
I've been lucky enough to have known Sian for 20+ years as both friend and neighbour, and watching her filming journey I just knew she was the one to ask for my wedding day
The passion and excitement she brings to editing too is second to none. She works with seamless ease with your photographer too, as she understands the harmony needed to produce an unbeatable outcome of memories to last forever x
You need someone who will love your day as much as you do, and Sian provides this with true genuine interest, and I would highly recommend setting up a consultation for both you to go through your vision, and to ask her for advice. Chances are, you've only done this once, whereas Sian has experience to know how to get the best out of your day!
Thank you endlessly Sian, for your beautiful work, your support throughout and your passion 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend!
