Hi! I’m Elizabeth, the filmmaker behind The Best of Times Films, based in Cardiff, South Wales. I travel across Wales, the UK and Europe to capture love stories of those unapologetically in love. In over 10 years of filming weddings I have had the pleasure to capture love stories of over 400 couples.
I bring a relaxed, unobtrusive approach to filming weddings, the kind where you don’t perform, you feel present. I’m there for the real stuff: the nervous laugh before you walk down the aisle, the proud glance from a parent, the “we did it” hand squeeze right after the ceremony.
Because here’s the thing: your wedding day will go by so fast. Your film is what brings it back, not just how it looked on the outside, but how it felt on the inside.
A lot of wedding films are either overly staged (beautiful, but not you) or a long boring timeline dump. My films sit right in the sweet spot: cinematic storytelling paired with documentary honesty. That means no awkward posing, no forced moments, no pretence. Just real moments, beautifully captured and carefully curated in the edit to recreate the magic.
I’m not the filmmaker who pulls you away from your guests for hours. I’m the filmmaker who captures the day you actually lived: the belly laughs, the nerves, the chaos, the tenderness and, of course, the party. I’ll never force you into anything that feels unnatural. If you’d like a little guidance during portraits, absolutely. I’ll offer easy, natural prompts so it still feels like you.
But if you’d rather do your own thing and forget I’m there? Perfect. That’s where the magic lives.
The result is a film that still hits in 10, 20, even 30 years with timeless colour, smooth editing, and thoughtful, story-led pacing. No gimmicks, just solid filmmaking.
1. You get to be yourselves.
I don’t stage your day. I let it unfold naturally.
2. I blend in like a guest.
Discreet filming, calm energy, and zero “camera pressure.”
3. Story-first editing.
Your film is built around emotion and narrative, not just a checklist of events.
4. The audio magic.
I love weaving in vows and speeches so your story is told in your own words.
5. You’ll see your guests properly.
It’s your day, but it’s also about the people who made it what it is. I love to capture shared moments.
6. I work seamlessly with your photographer.
I’m there to support the flow, not compete for it. We bounce creativity off each other to create something truly special.
7. Timeless filmmaking.
Natural tones, steady camera work, and smooth, intentional edits.
8. Calm, experienced presence.
If timings slip, the weather changes, or a toddler has a meltdown, I’ve seen it all, and I stay unflappable.
9. Clear packages, no hidden costs.
Simple, straightforward options — with payment plans available if you’d like them.
10. Because you’ll forget more than you think.
The tiny moments are the ones you’ll miss… and they’re the ones I live for.
If that sounds like your vibe, I’d love to hear what you’re planning.
Send over your date and venue to check availability.
If you’d like that initial connection, we’ll hop on a relaxed, no-pressure call to chat through your plans and see if we’re a good fit.
Once you’re happy to go ahead, we’ll sign a contract to officially book your wedding date. This helps avoid any misunderstandings and clearly outlines your chosen package, any extras, payment schedule, and delivery timelines — so everything feels clear and stress-free.
I’ll get a feel for what matters most to you: the people, the vibe, and the moments you’re most excited about. We’ll also go through the order of the day and confirm venues and key contact details.
You enjoy every moment. I’ll quietly capture it all — gently guiding only when needed.
Within one week, you’ll receive a beautiful preview of your day. Whether or not you’re active on social media, it’s a lovely film to share with family and friends while the excitement is still fresh.
Within eight weeks, you’ll receive all your finished films — your highlights film, extended trailer (if included), and the full ceremony and speeches.
