I'm Marcus - a creative, documentary Gloucestershire wedding videographer
and photographer based in Cheltenham.
I am a proud father to two amazing boys, Tom and Ben, husband to the equally lovely Danielle and cat-daddy to Kitty. When I'm not capturing the beauty at weddings in the Cotswolds, it's family time and the adventures this brings. Travel and adventure outdoors tends to feature highly. You'll also find me in the vegetable garden or with a snooker cue in hand although usually not at the same time!
I've enjoyed capturing weddings for as long as I can remember, mostly of people and there is something quite wonderful about capturing real moments and human emotions that can only be achieved from capturing weddings.

Dougie & Sam’s beautiful Wild Thyme & Honey wedding highlight film
@wildthymeandhoney
Milly & Grant married at @hyde_house last Friday. They nailed the winter wedding vibe with soft tones, all the twinkly lights and endless fun including the speeches and sparklers! The happiest wedding day to round off the year!
.
As well as images, Milly & Grant booked a highlight film and a feature film, delivered at the same time. I’ve dropped a couple of clips into the post. The highlight film is a goodie and I am excited to share soon!
.
‘’Thank you so much for these! They are absolutely beautiful and we love every single one.’’ Milly & Grant

What an epic day! Kerry & Ben chose both photo and film and had not one, but two wedding venues. Married at @queenshotelcheltenham they partied @thenookcheltenham to the sounds of the amazing @tuxfizz
.
A celebration of friends and family, Cornish tartan, epic speeches, many cocktails, a hugely personal ceremony, a walk in the park and more confetti than you’ve ever seen! Thank you Kerry and Ben for inviting me along!
I’ve filmed over 20 weddings this year alongside capturing photography. Every now and again I leave a camera filming and forget about it. Sometimes there are outtakes! This camera captured the final moments of the ceremony exit song for George & Sian @stonebarnvenue
.
Watch for Pat’s response at the very end of this video!
.
A beautiful song and a lovely chap @thepatmcintyre - musician extraordinaire!

Chloe & Conor’s beautiful @lapstonebarn highlight film which they booked alongside photography. A gorgeous day in the Cotswold countryside with sparklers and so much dancing I had to make a separate film just of the partying!

Sarah & Jonny married at @oxleazebarn and then partied! Fun all day long from Jonny’s happy tears to Sarah’s dad’s dancefloor epicness! Scroll through to see exactly what I mean 🥳 They booked photo and film so this post features a bit of both. Highlight film to follow

‘’If I could give more than 5*s I would as it was truly hands down one of the best services we have ever received. Marcus went above and beyond from our engagement shoots, amazing correspondence, organising a big group photos during the day and the amazing quality of our wedding photos. We would really recommend making the extra little payment and asking Marcus to stay until the dancing as we have some incredible photos that will now last a lifetime. Absolutely worth every single penny from start to finish and will be contacting you again should we need professional photos. Thank you so much!!’’

Kind of annoyed that all the Taylor Swift trending audio on here isn’t exactly wedding positive but I guess she’s gotta get it out!
So much video still to share of last years weddings including a few snippets of Emma having the time of her life getting ready for her wedding to Gareth @hyde_house @beautybylivatie @cotswoldweddinghairandmakeup @emsandbrook @bigeyephoto
New highlight film: Laura & Tom
.
@oxleazebarn hosted Laura & Tom’s Spring wedding. Spring’s friends: wind and rain attended but were beaten back by Tom & Laura’s unbreakable spirit! There were so many nice words that I could have chosen from Tom’s speech and so many moments of everyone having such a great day.
.
Laura & Tom booked the Photo & Film package including full ceremony coverage and a full speech film

Ellie & Scott exited the Barn at @owlpenmanor to riotous applause after their wedding ceremony - it was fun having two angles for the film. Watch until the end to see the fun the last of the guests had leaving!

I loved their words during the ceremony and I loved how they checked on each other during the day. The last clip is my most favourite. A busy wedding day with all their closest friends and family but look how content they both look.

I love time with just you two! A chance to get away from the crowds, have a little time to yourselves and take stock of the day. It helps if the light is as epic as it was for Emma & Gareth’s big day @hyde_house
