cINEMATIC NORFOLK WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHER
Wedding films that bring you back to how it really felt.
I’m Michael, a Norfolk wedding videographer creating natural, cinematic wedding films for couples who want to remember their day exactly as it happened.
From the quiet moments before the ceremony to the chaos of the dance floor, I’ll be there to capture the people, laughter, tears and little moments that make your wedding yours.
WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHY ACROSS NORFOLK
Norfolk is home to some incredible wedding venues, from beautiful barns and country estates to relaxed celebrations along the coast. As a Norfolk wedding videographer, I’m lucky enough to film weddings right across the county.
From weddings in Norwich and the surrounding countryside, to celebrations along the North Norfolk coast, the Norfolk Broads and further west towards King’s Lynn, every wedding is different. I also regularly travel across South Norfolk, filming at venues around Wymondham, Dereham, Swaffham and beyond.
Whether you're getting married in a grand country house, a rustic Norfolk barn or somewhere overlooking the coast, my approach stays the same: to capture your wedding naturally, without taking you away from the people and moments that matter.
I've been lucky enough to film weddings at venues across Norfolk, including Curds Hall Barn, Pentney Abbey, Oxnead Hall and Reymerston Hall, as well as many smaller and more intimate venues throughout the county.
Natural, cinematic Norfolk Wedding Films
I don't want you to spend your wedding day performing for a camera.
My approach to wedding videography is relaxed and unobtrusive. I won't constantly pull you away from your guests or ask you to recreate moments for the sake of a shot.
Instead, I want to capture your wedding as it really happens. The nervous excitement before the ceremony, your dad seeing you for the first time, your friends laughing during the speeches, grandparents on the dance floor and all those tiny moments you didn't even realise were happening.
The result is a cinematic wedding film that feels honest, personal and completely yours.
Norfolk Wedding Venues
I've filmed weddings in some amazing venues across Norfolk, from rustic barns and countryside estates to coastal wedding venues. Every venue has its own character, and I love finding ways to incorporate that into each couple's film.

WHY CHOOSE STREFFORD FILMS?
I KEEP THINGS RELAXED
Your wedding day isn't a photoshoot. I'll blend into the background and let you enjoy it.
I focus on the moments you might miss
Your wedding film isn't just about the big moments. It's the glance between your parents, your friends laughing during the speeches and the reaction you didn't see because you were busy getting married.
Sound matters
Your wedding film shouldn't just look beautiful. It should sound like your wedding too.
Vows, speeches, laughter, cheers and snippets of conversations can bring memories flooding back in a way that music alone can't.
No rigid filming schedule
I don't believe your wedding film should be dictated by a stopwatch. I'll be there to capture the story of your day rather than disappearing simply because the contracted hours have ended.
Cinematic Wedding Films, Without the Posing
I love the cinematic side of wedding filmmaking, beautiful compositions, movement, light, music and carefully crafted editing. But I never want the finished film to feel manufactured.
The cinematic look should enhance your memories, not change them.
Your wedding film should still feel like you.
WHAT COUPLES SAY
"Where do we start?! Basically if you don't book Michael as your videographer then more fool you. He is AMAZING.
He is so incredibly talented that I kind of felt like I wasn't worthy of his work; that he should be working with fancier people than us! We feel so lucky to have had Michael film not only an engagement shoot for us, but our big day too.
From the very beginning Michael was responsive, kind and approachable. By meeting him for a pre wedding/ engagement shoot we were able to make sure that we felt comfortable around him, knowing he would be with us on one of the most important days of our life. From the moment we met him we knew he was the one for us. His calm, warm manner meant we felt no pressure to 'perform' or feel embarrassed. We were feeling very shy about the whole thing and I had to coach my husband into doing it to be honest! But that all disappeared. This put us at complete ease in the run up to the wedding.
I don't think I spent a single second worrying about our videos after meeting Michael and then after seeing our pre wedding shoot; only pure excitement to see them.
We found Michael as our friends had him do their wedding. I watched just the trailer of their wedding and was bought to tears. That's when I knew we had to have him.
He has an eye for detail. The shots aren't just 'generic shots', they are moments of our friend's giggling at their table plan drawings, our friends sharing a joke in the garden at cocktail hour, of our nans dancing on the dance floor, of my reaction when my husband teased me in his speech, of my brother's faces on seeing me in my dress for the first time. I could go on forever. I sobbed through every one of our videos. I actually sobbed through most of the other couples videos on instagram too!! haha. He is able to select the most incredible music to compliment his amazing work. I was actually worried about the music; the idea of some generic acoustic rubbish... but no it fit the flow of the video perfectly, taking you on an emotional rollercoaster. It is clear he takes a lot of time choosing not just any old stuff!! He was able to select poignant moments across seven different speeches and this must have been incredibly time consuming, but it was absolutely perfect.
Michael is able to get across exactly the type of people you are and the relationship you have, without you even opening your mouths. He is so hugely talented, very patient and so kind!! I hope he doesn't mind or find it creepy, but we now consider Michael our friend! We are so very grateful for the time and energy he had put into capturing some of the most amazing memories we ever make.
P.S this photo is a still from our video that Michael had featured in VOGUE MAGAZINE. BECAUSE HE IS SO AWESOME!"

"Don’t think about it… book the videographer! And book Michael!
Michael was amazing and professional right from the booking process, meet ups, on the day and then our video delivery. Plenty of flexibility to our package (even added on more after the wedding!)
We didn’t make it easy for him: drone footage of the grooms arrival on motorbikes, super 8 videos, throwing himself (and his cameras) in the middle of a mosh pit from our live band and a firework finale… Michael caught it all! You wouldn’t even know he was there, which made us feel so relaxed, comfortable and be our true, authentic selves on our wedding day.
Capture the smiles, hear the laughs and see the dance moves. We have adored being able to relive our wedding day and knowing we have this footage we can keep the memories alive forever.
Thank you Michael! X"
HANNAH & CHRIS - CURDS HALL BARN, NORFOLK
"Getting a wedding videographer was one of the elements of our budget that we debated over the most. Having had our wedding day and received our footage from Michael, it is hands down the best decision we made. In hindsight, Michael would have been the first thing we booked.
We are so so thankful we made the plunge and asked Michael to be a part of our day; the films he's made are priceless and we would be heartbroken not to have them. We feel so pleased to have our day captured perfectly forever to look back on.
You will not regret booking Michael as your Videographer - he is so unbelievably chill, he brought no stress to our day whatsoever, working so quietly in the background to get all our best moments. The films he creates are so authentic, they're so real, a true reflection of how the day was, all whilst being tasteful, raw and hilarious.
Michael is so lovely too, he is so down to earth yet incredibly professional, he slotted perfectly into our hectic day and did exactly as we asked. The films are better than we ever thought possible. He must have gone to such lengths on the day to capture everything as well as he did all by himself - we are simply in awe of his efforts and abilities and genuinely cannot recommend him enough!
Thank you again Michael for everything!"
