Getting to know the vision
About

I'm Andy, the one behind the camera at House of Tattersall.
I'm a wedding videographer based in Denstone, Staffordshire, and I film cinematic wedding films across Staffordshire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, as well as further afield across the UK and Europe.
I didn't start out in weddings. I came up filming live music: gigs and music videos. One pass at a moment that was never going to happen the same way twice. That's really what pulled me across to wedding videography. A gig and a wedding have more in common than people think. Both are perishable. You get one go at them, and after that they only exist in the way people remember them and getting fuzzier every year. Film is the only thing that holds it still.
Before I picked up a camera at a wedding, I spent years shooting live music, events and brand work across Europe, starting in November 2014, working on stage with bands at major festivals and in stadiums. That background is where I learned to work under real pressure, with moments that happen once and don't come back if you miss them. I started filming weddings in 2022, and after a spell shooting both photography and video, I found video was where I wanted to focus.
Before weddings, I was also ranked among the Top 100 Music Photographers in the World by How To Become A Rockstar Photographer, back when photography was still part of the mix.
So that's how I approach the day. I'm not there to stage a nicer version of your wedding, or to march everyone through a shot list. I'm there to pay attention to the one that's actually happening; your dad going quiet before the speeches, the ten seconds you and your partner get to yourselves and don't think anyone's watching, the dance floor at full speed. Those are the bits you'll want back in twenty years.
I'm based on the Staffordshire and Derbyshire border, so the Peak District is on my doorstep and most of the Midlands and the North is an easy run. I'll happily travel further if the day's right.
I take a maximum of 15 weddings a year. That is a deliberate ceiling, not a quiet year, and it is the reason every couple gets my full attention in the lead-up to their day and in the edit afterwards, rather than a slot squeezed between others. If a date's important to you, it's worth asking early.
At home there's my wife, who works as a brand specialist in fashion and has excellent taste she isn't shy about sharing, and our two children, who have taught me a lot about how fast a few years go.

Every kind of day
I've filmed gay weddings, Chinese tea ceremonies, Indian weddings, and everything in between. Whatever your day looks like, there's a good chance I've filmed something like it before, and if I haven't, I'll ask the right questions rather than guess.
Working alongside your team
I work closely with venues and other suppliers, and I'm always happy to point you toward photographers and other suppliers who'd suit your day, if that's useful. I particularly enjoy working alongside venue teams I know well, like the team at The West Mill in Derby.
“What was really special is his incredible talent for noticing and preserving both the big, emotional moments and the small details that might otherwise go unnoticed.”
What “cinematic” actually means in my films
“Cinematic” gets used a lot in wedding videography, so here's what it means specifically in my work:
- Natural light and real moments over staging. I don't overly direct or re-stage. No walking-down-the-aisle- again, minimal posed “candid” shots. The camera follows what's actually happening, which means the emotion on screen is real. This of course does change if the couple wants more of this.
- A moody, editorial colour grade. Rather than a bright, punchy Instagram look, my films lean into deeper contrast and a slightly filmic tone, closer to how the day actually felt.
- Sound as much as picture. Vows, speeches and ambient sound are recorded properly and built into the edit, not just laid under generic music, and it's a big part of why films feel immersive rather than like a highlight reel.
- Story structure, not a chronological list. Each film is edited to build like a story with a beginning, a rhythm and an emotional peak, rather than just running getting-ready → ceremony → reception in order.
- Handheld footage throughout the day. By holding the camera (no gimbals) the footage reels more relatable and real, its very subtle but does so much to a film for the view - you'll notice this technique more in movies now I have said it.
What “luxury” means in my approach
“Luxury” isn't about the price tag of the venue. It's about the level of care and craft that goes into the whole process:
- A genuinely unobtrusive presence on the day. Couples regularly tell me they forgot I was there. That's deliberate, and it's what allows guests (and you) to behave naturally rather than performing for a camera.
- Full-day coverage, not a stripped-back package. 10 hours of coverage means nothing important gets missed because a package ran out of time.
- A considered, personal edit, not a template. Every film is cut individually around that couple's day, pacing and story, rather than dropped into a fixed formula.
- A premium delivery experience. Films are delivered through a proper online platform for streaming, downloading and sharing, not a shaky link or a WeTransfer download.
