WHO WE ARE
We are creators of boutique wedding films, providing high-end wedding videography in the heart of the Cheshire countryside. We are dreamers, adventurers, and storytellers. We desire to capture something beautiful, deeply meaningful, and the beginning of every new journey.
Focusing on the genuine and sincere, we capture the unique story of each of our couples, and artfully preserve it through the incredible power of filmmaking.
The story isn’t only about how things looked or where the event took place, it's about an event that has been crafted over decades by family, friends and life’s unexpected wonders. Your wedding day is the day you celebrate a lasting, and enduring commitment.
Realizing that your day is personal and intimate, we try to remain as discreet as possible while still capturing even the smallest moments. If you’re willing, we’d like to take you on an adventure; a Big Adventure, that you can relive with your family and friends for the rest of your lives.
We are Big Adventure Wedding Films.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Joel Merry
Founder/Filmmaker
Hi there!
​
My name is Joel and I am the founder and lead cinematographer at Big Adventure Wedding Films.
Aside from being a wedding filmmaker, I am a lover of everything outdoors and adventurous!
Capturing moments on camera has always been a central theme in my life, which makes my job as a wedding filmmaker so much more than just a job - it's a passion. Wherever I am you'll find me with a camera in my hand; whether I'm free diving in the ocean with my camera strapped to my side, or flying my drone through the snowy mountains.
People often ask me how I got into wedding filmmaking and my answer is always the same - I believe that this job found me. I love documenting real life and what better story is there to tell than that of two people who have met by chance and fallen in love? It's a story that repeats itself over and over, but it's entirely unique to every single couple. I love being a part of telling that story on the most special day of their lives. I couldn't think of a more perfect job, and I'm honoured that I get to call this my work.
​
As for how I shoot, I'm laid back and want to have an incredible day celebrating with you, and that - combined with the fact that I'm also serious about my cinematography - creates the perfect formula for a unique and adventurous wedding film.
​
As a luxury film studio, I only take a limited number of bookings per year. This means that I avoid creating a conveyor belt of work, and am able to dedicate your wedding film all of the time and attention that it needs to be the very best that it can be.
​
I created Big Adventure by being intentional. This is your biggest adventure. Your wedding and your love story are unique. And therefore your wedding film should be too.
Tell us about your adventure here.
