Steven James - North East Wedding Videographer

Create Hitch-Story: Unstaged & Unforgettable Wedding Videography in Newcastle Upon Tyne and the North East.

With a distinctive vlogumentary style, I’ll catch every tear, titter, and tipsy toast, creating a wedding film that’s more gripping than an EastEnders Christmas special. A style so smooth, you’ll forget I’m even there (until you see me moonwalk past Aunty on the dance floor).

I’m not just a wedding videographer; more relationship documentarian, master of matrimonial movie-making and ninja storyteller with a knack for catching the right moments in 4K.

The result? An emotional 30 minute blockbuster rom-com, minus the cheesy dialogue and instead all the genuine laughs, happy tears, and that one person’s infamous dance moves (there’s always one). Your film will make you laugh, cry, and cringe – sometimes all at once!

Thanks to my marketing savvy, I’ll make your wedding story go viral – at least within your family WhatsApp group.

Movie magic starts with a cuppa.

Consultations sound boring. Let's meet and talk about you and your day and how we can capture and tell your story.



    Why use Hitch Stories?

    Wedding Films by Steven James

    Keepin' it real

    Allergic to fake smiles and staged moments. I’m here to catch you being your authentic selves, even if that means filming your best man’s awkward dance moves.

    Storytelling

    Your love story is unique, and I’m here to turn it into the film it deserves to be. We’re talking less “Hallmark movie” and more “Oscar-worthy epic” (minus the three-hour runtime).

    Energy

    I will bring more energy and passion to your big day than your third espresso shot, and more dedicated than a bridezilla.

    Mission Impossible: Wedding Video Edition

    My mission, I’ve chose to accept, is to flip the script on wedding videos. HitchStories is not just here for the posed smiles and rehearsed dances. I’m  after the real deal: the nervous giggles, the tearful hugs, and yes, even that moment when your ring bearer decides to go rogue.

    Armed with content creation superpowers and marketing mojo, I want to craft wedding films that are part blockbuster, part viral video, and 100% authentically you. I’m talking visuals so crisp you can almost taste the wedding cake, and emotions so real you’ll need a tissue box on standby during every rewatch.

    So buckle up, lovebirds – I’m about to turn your big day into the most repeated episode of your life.

    This message will self-destruct in 5…4…3… Just kidding,I’ll make sure it lasts forever.

    Making HitchStory with Steven James

    Our HitchStory goes something like this… A content creator and marketing expert (me!) with my future wife, standing at the most magical crossroads of our lives — our wedding day.

    Obsessed with capturing moments and turning them into stories, we decided to do something a little unconventional. On our special day, we passed the camera around, creating an epic “vlogumentary” that captured every heartfelt, hilarious, and unforgettable moment from every angle. Moments that we would never have known about.

    From the tearful vows to the side-splitting moments at the reception — our wedding video wasn’t just a clip; it was a narrative, our narrative.

    Before we knew it, it was a massive hit! Friends, family, and even distant acquaintances couldn’t stop talking about it.

    And that’s when it hit me: why not turn this passion into something more?

    A Lightbulb Moment:

    Watching the joy and excitement our video brought, I realised the potential was there to craft similar stories for other couples. The beauty of a wedding isn’t just in the grand gestures but in the subtle, spontaneous moments that often go unnoticed. (Have you seen my mam and dad dance?!) We wanted to capture those, just as we did for our own day.

    The approach? It’s candid, it’s heartfelt, and it’s all about you and the whole day. Blending raw emotions, the unexpected laughs, and the personal touches into a seamless story that I think you’ll cherish forever.

    Let’s create some magic together. Your love story deserves to be shared in the most beautiful, authentic way possible, and we’re here to make that happen!

    With love and storytelling, Steven.
