About

Hi, I’m michael Westcott


Hi, I’m Michael, Mike or Mikey – I’ll let you choose. The first thing you should know about me is I LOVE weddings and not just because it’s my job. I’m a romantic at heart; there’s something about two people choosing to spend their lives with each other, against all the odds, for better or for worse, that really gets me. Those heartfelt emotions never stop inspiring me – and it’s probably why I love listening to country music so much!

Being part of someone’s love story is just one of the reasons I love being a videographer. I’m a geek when it comes to cameras and other video equipment, so getting to try out the latest tech on shoots is always fun. I’m always keeping an eye on the latest gadgets, especially drones, so be prepared for these and other surprises in my repertoire!

I’m an ex-competitive badminton player, which is probably why I’m such a perfectionist when it comes to crafting my films, as I’m very results-driven and love a challenge. But if that all sounds a little intense, don’t worry – I am also a mediocre guitar player, so please don’t ask me to play at your wedding. 

When I’ve not got a camera or badminton racket in my hands, I’m usually giving belly rubs to dogs and cats. I’m a big fan of dogs at weddings and just an animal lover in general. I’ve even travelled to some exotic places to film them in their natural habitat – you can see some of these on my Wildlife page and on Instagram. I’ve photographed cats in Greece, iguanas in Spain and water dragons in Australia, to name just a few.

My style

Since starting my business back in 2017, I have wanted to create unique documentary-style films. This fly-on-the-wall style of filmmaking allows me to create artistically crafted stories captured in a discreet and unobtrusive way. 

But this doesn’t just mean setting up a camera and putting my feet up. Each couple, and their family and friends, have stories to tell, and I love taking inspiration from some of my favourite film genres (rom-com, action and even sci-fi) to emphasise those cinematic moments.

Live events are full of unpredictable moments where anything can happen. There’s no way to predict all of the laughter, energy, raw emotion and chaos of a wedding. I want to show everything in my films to give them that truly authentic feel. In simple terms, Films with Feeling.
