Capturing Stories in the Lake District

About Me

Hey there! I'm Jonny – a filmmaker and photographer who's spent the last 14 years behind the camera, with a serious soft spot for the Lake District's jaw-dropping landscapes. While my DMI qualification keeps my technical skills sharp, it's my genuine love for finding those magic moments among Cumbria's fells and waters that really drives my work.

There's something about filming in the Lakes that gets me every time – maybe it's watching the first light hit Helvellyn, or how the water on Ullswater turns to gold just before sunset. After countless trips here with my cameras, I've gotten to know not just the postcard spots but those hidden corners where the light does extraordinary things at certain times of year.

My camera has taken me to some pretty cool places over the years – from directing Christmas commercials for Sky TV to capturing behind-the-scenes moments with Shia LaBeouf on "Salvable." I've worked with talents like Maimuna Enya Memon and Nina Wadia, and even spent time filming with Rio Ferdinand at Old Trafford. But honestly? I get just as excited about documenting a couple's quiet elopement by a misty tarn or helping a local Keswick business tell their story.

I bring my trusty Canon C300 Mark III and C70 cameras to every Lake District project – gear that delivers that cinematic quality without turning me into an intimidating presence at intimate events. When I'm not filming, you'll likely find me hiking with my golden retriever Jess, probably scouting new spots and imagining how they'd look on camera in different seasons and weather.

How I Can Help You in the Lakes

The Lake District isn't just beautiful – it's UNESCO World Heritage beautiful. Here's how we might work together to capture your Lake District story:

Wedding & Elopement Films: Whether you're planning a grand celebration at somewhere like Armathwaite Hall or an intimate ceremony by Buttermere, this landscape creates an incredible backdrop for your day. I've heard from so many couples that video brought back memories their photos couldn't – capturing not just how things looked, but how they sounded and felt. One study even found people remember 73% more of their day when they have professional video alongside photos.

Intimate Elopement Stories: There's something incredibly special about documenting a couple who've chosen to exchange vows in a meaningful landscape, away from the traditional wedding setup. According to a recent survey, 92% of couples felt amateur filming missed crucial moments during these intimate events – understandable when you're trying to capture both emotional exchanges and spectacular surroundings. I'll help you find that perfect balance.

Business Content With Heart: From outdoor adventure companies in Keswick to cozy tea rooms in Grasmere, I create videos that show what makes your Lake District business different. No generic promotional content – instead, we'll dig into your connection to this remarkable landscape and the authentic experiences you create. That's what connects with viewers and turns them into customers.

Property & Location Showcases: Whether you're an estate agent selling a dream Lake District home or managing holiday rentals that need to stand out online, professional video makes all the difference. I know how to capture not just the property itself but the lifestyle and surroundings that make Lake District properties so special – the views, the walks from your doorstep, the local pubs and experiences nearby.

The Difference in My Approach

Having filmed sunrise at Castlerigg Stone Circle, moonlight over Wastwater, and pretty much everything in between, I've built up knowledge about what works visually in this unique environment. I understand the practical challenges too – how quickly the weather changes, which valleys get the best morning light, and when popular spots might be overrun with visitors (and how to avoid that in your footage).

But beyond the technical stuff, people tell me it's my approach that makes the difference. I believe that relaxed people make for authentic footage, so I focus on making the experience enjoyable while ensuring we get exactly what we need. Whether we're hiking to a remote spot for your elopement or capturing your family's Lake District adventures, my priority is ensuring you enjoy our time together while I create something you'll treasure.

Some Recent Lake District Projects

Last month, I spent a day with a couple who chose to exchange vows at sunrise by Ashness Bridge above Derwentwater. Rather than just capturing their ceremony, we incorporated their whole journey – the pre-dawn hike up, their personal connection to the Lakes, and those quiet moments afterward watching the day begin across the valley. The resulting film tells a much richer story than just documenting the formal elements.

I also recently worked with a family-run adventure company based in Keswick. Instead of just showing their activities, we focused on the genuine passion of their guides – many of whom are local to Cumbria and have incredible knowledge of the landscape. We created a series of short films that showcase the transformative experiences they offer, helping them attract exactly the kind of customers they want to work with.

Testimonials

"Jonny is a wonderful videographer and a lovely human! We can't thank him enough for capturing our big day so perfectly. He was amazing to work with from start to finish. He made us feel so comfortable and relaxed on the day and was so helpful when it came to choosing music for the final video. The final video exceeded our expectations and we can't thank him enough for capturing memories we will cherish forever. We would highly recommend Jonny to anyone looking for a professional, talented videographer to document their wedding day!"

"Jonny came down to CONDUCTR yesterday to capture the visuals for our new website. He did an absolutely fantastic job, taking over 400 pictures which all came out great. Jonny himself was also great to work with, both funny and easy going, he knows his trade inside and out and you feel like your in safe hands. I would 100% work with Jonny again."

A Note from the Author

After all these years filming around the UK, there's still nowhere that captivates me quite like the Lake District. Each valley seems to have its own distinct mood and personality, and the light here does things I haven't seen anywhere else – the way it breaks through clouds to spotlight a single fell, or how it reflects off the water on those perfect still mornings.

If you're looking for someone who genuinely loves this landscape and knows how to capture what makes it special, give me a call at 07852 252034 or drop me an email at contactjonnyn@gmail.com. No complicated jargon or packages – just an honest chat about creating something meaningful in one of Britain's most extraordinary places.

Whether you're planning your wedding in the Lakes, need authentic content for your local business, or want to document a special family trip – I'd love to hear what brings you to this remarkable corner of the world and how we might capture that story together.

When I'm Available

You can reach me seven days a week from 9:30am to 6:30pm, though actual filming times are completely flexible – sometimes that perfect Lake District light happens at 5am or 10pm, and I'm always happy to work with what nature gives us!
