Professional Videography & Photography in Telford
About Me
Hey there! I'm Jonny – I've spent the last 14 years with a camera in my hands, capturing stories throughout Telford and beyond. My DMI qualification keeps the technical side of my work solid, but what really drives me is finding those authentic moments that tell your unique story.
Telford has become one of my favorite places to film, and not just because of its obvious landmarks. There's something special about the way morning light hits the Iron Bridge, or how The Wrekin creates this perfect backdrop when you catch it at sunset. After countless projects here, I've come to appreciate both the big attractions and those hidden gems that locals know best.
My camera has taken me to some pretty interesting places over the years – from directing Christmas commercials for Sky TV to capturing behind-the-scenes moments with Shia LaBeouf during "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 filming a local business owner talking about their craft or a couple's first dance at a Telford wedding venue.
I bring my trusty Canon C300 Mark III and C70 cameras to every shoot, giving us that cinematic quality without turning into some intimidating presence at your event. When I'm not filming, you'll probably find me walking my golden retriever Jess around Telford Town Park, likely brainstorming creative angles for my next project.
How I Can Help You in Telford
Telford gives us such a brilliant mix to work with – from world-famous industrial heritage to modern urban spaces and those gorgeous green areas in between[2]. Here's what we could create together:
Heritage Backdrops That Tell a Story: From the world's first iron bridge to the Victorian workings at Blists Hill, Telford's history provides some extraordinary settings for all kinds of projects[3]. I've spent enough time filming in these locations to know exactly when the light hits them just right and how to navigate their quirks – knowledge that only comes from experience.
Business Videos People Actually Watch: Whether you run a shop in Telford Centre, a manufacturing company at Hortonwood, or a startup at the Innovation Campus, I'll help create content that feels like you – not some generic corporate template. We'll dig into what makes your business special and translate that to screen in a way that connects with your audience[4].
Weddings & Special Moments: Telford has some fantastic venues – Hadley Park House with its Georgian charm, The Valley Hotel right by the Iron Bridge, or somewhere unique like Enginuity for the more adventurous. I blend into the background (honestly, guests often think I'm a friend with a nice camera) while making sure every important moment is captured beautifully.
Videos That Actually Get Results: When you're launching something new or trying to build your brand, I focus on creating content that doesn't just look pretty but actually drives action. By focusing on the 'why' behind your offering and what makes people connect with it, we create videos that convert views into genuine interest[5].
What Makes Working With Me Different
Having filmed sunrise at The Wrekin, sunset by the Iron Bridge, and pretty much everything in between, I've built up the kind of local knowledge that only comes from spending real time in a place[6]. I know which spots in Telford Town Park look magical in autumn, how to make the most of the industrial museums even on busy days, and where to find those perfect urban backdrops that aren't overcrowded.
But clients tell me it's my approach as much as my technical skills that makes the difference. I believe people look their best on camera when they feel comfortable and forget I'm even there. No awkward posing, no corporate-speak – just natural, authentic moments that genuinely represent you or your business.
Recent Telford Projects I've Loved
Last month, I spent several days with a family business that's been manufacturing in Hortonwood for three generations. Rather than just filming their products, we focused on the people – the 6am starts, the specialized skills passed down through the family, the pride they take in supporting the local community. The resulting videos have connected with their audience in a way catalog-style content never could.
I also filmed a wedding that began at St. George's Church and continued with a reception that had the Iron Bridge as its backdrop. My favorite clip wasn't the obvious scenic shot of the bridge (though that looked amazing), but the spontaneous moment when the bride's nephew gave an impromptu speech that had everyone in tears – the kind of moment you can't plan but need to be ready to capture.

A Note from the Author
There's something about Telford that keeps drawing me back – perhaps it's the perfect balance of heritage and forward-thinking energy, or maybe it's just the genuine warmth of the people I've worked with here over the years.
