Cliveden House Wedding Videographer
Luxurious Wedding Films For The Heritage-Rich Cliveden House
Cliveden House is a heritage landmark—its baroque architecture, grand interiors, and sweeping Thames-side gardens create a wedding setting of palpable elegance and cinematic scope. As a full-day wedding filmmaker, my craft is to translate that atmosphere into a film that reflects both the scale and intimacy of your celebration, weaving your story into this storied backdrop.
Why Cliveden House’s Heritage Feels Cinematic
Dating back to the 1660s, redesigned by Charles Barry and home to generations of aristocracy, Cliveden carries layers of history and nuance. Its grand facade, fountains, Italian Garden, Water Terraces, French Dining Room, Marlborough Room and Spring Cottage by the Thames offer a palette of textures and moods—from formal to romantic, reflective to dramatic .
I believe the best films emerge when perfection meets authenticity. With full-day coverage and included drone, I favour ambient sound, natural movement, and light-led pacing. From morning prep in the Marlborough Room to twilight by the Water Gardens, I seek to create a flowing narrative that honours both location and emotion.
I also offer combined photo + film coverage through my trusted team—bringing you a cohesive visual story, beautifully recorded without distraction.
My Filmmaking Philosophy at Cliveden House
Moments I See at Cliveden
Dawn Arrivals on the South Lawn
Early drone flights across manicured grass set the stage—introducing your story with scale and serenity.
Vows in the French Dining Room
Vaulted ceilings, gilded panels and candlelit reflections make for an emotionally rich ceremonial backdrop.
Riverside Portraits & Garden Walks
Water Terrace reflections, steps by the Italian Garden or a quiet moment by the River Thames—each frame a refined memory.
Evening Lighting & Ballroom Atmosphere
Soft uplighting in the Library Bar or dancing under chandeliers: it's in these twilight moments your celebration truly breathes on camera.
My narrative-based cinematic wedding films focus on storytelling, authenticity and emotion.
This means that my style and approach is applicable to any venue anywhere in the world, because it focusses on the true emotion of the day, the honest story of who you are, and the beauty of the day that unfolds.
How A Cliveden House Wedding Could Look On Film
Seamless Photo & Film Collaboration
For couples seeking both stills and motion, I lead a photo + film team that works intuitively together—no competing gear, no intrusions. Our shared focus is to let moments unfold naturally, while capturing them with clarity and care.
“Luke has really made the way we will look back on that day, (already the best day of our lives) so much more meaningful to us.
His unique way of story-telling and working with the speeches and candid moments throughout the day is fantastic.
I have had countless friends and family say that ours is the best wedding video and that they’ve never seen anything like it.”
