Professional Videographer in Nottingham | Jonny Noakes

About Me

Based in Nottingham and working all over the United Kingdom, I bring 14 years of experience in professional photography and videography to every project. My passion for visual storytelling allows me to live a fulfilling lifestyle, which includes being chief dog walker to my lovely golden retriever puppy, Jess. According to Creative England, videographers with deep experience like mine are in high demand across the Midlands region.

I've been lucky enough to work across so many different types of projects over the years - everything from mouth-watering food and drink content for local bars and restaurants, to music videos where I get to flex my creative muscles. I've shot corporate brand videos that help businesses connect with their customers, and even created Christmas adverts that aired in Sky TV ad slots! The British Film Institute has highlighted how valuable this kind of versatility is in today's market.

One of my recent highlights was working on the film "Salvable" where I got to capture behind-the-scenes footage with Shia LaBeouf - definitely one for the career highlight reel! I've also directed and shot projects with talented performers like Maimuna Enya Memon and Nina Wadia. Our Nottingham UNESCO City of Literature status means we're attracting more and more exciting productions to the area.

My Approach and Expertise

When I take on a project, I'm not just bringing a camera - I'm bringing years of know-how in:

• Directing - Helping everyone feel comfortable and capturing authentic moments

• Post-production - Turning raw footage into something that gives you goosebumps

• Camera operation - Finding those perfect angles that tell the story

• Sound design - Because poor audio can ruin even the most beautiful footage

• Lighting techniques - Creating the mood that makes everything pop

My gear matches my experience - I shoot primarily with the Canon C300 Mark III and the Canon C70. Both are Netflix-approved cameras, which means they meet the highest industry standards. The folks at Canon Professional Network consider these among the best tools in the business, and I have to agree.

Services and Specializations

I cover a wide range of video services across Nottingham and nearby areas. Wedding videos, corporate events, special occasions - you name it, I've probably filmed it. I absolutely love capturing Nottingham's stunning landmarks too - Wollaton Hall and Nottingham Castle make for incredible backdrops. The Nottingham Tourism Centre often talks about how important quality video is for showcasing what makes our city special.

Wedding Videography in Nottingham

Your wedding day flies by in a blur - that's why having someone capture those moments matters so much. According to UK Wedding Insights, East Midlands couples typically spend around £1,450 on wedding videography. I focus on creating something that will bring tears to your eyes (the good kind!) every anniversary when you watch it.

Corporate Video Production

In today's digital world, video content is king. I work with marketing agencies to create content that actually engages viewers and gets results. The East Midlands Chamber of Commerce has found that businesses using quality video see much higher engagement rates - it's just more effective than walls of text.

Commercial Production

Having created content for Sky TV ad slots, I understand what makes people stop scrolling and pay attention. Whether you're launching a new product or building brand awareness, I'll help make something that resonates with your audience. Marketing Week regularly points out that professional video consistently outperforms amateur content - people can tell the difference.

Film and Entertainment

Working with established actors and film crews has taught me how to deliver professional results even in fast-paced environments. The Nottingham Screen Partnership has been instrumental in bringing more productions to our region, creating exciting opportunities for collaboration.

Service Area

While Nottingham is home base, I regularly work in surrounding areas like Derby too. If you're within a reasonable drive of Nottingham, I'm happy to come to you. According to Visit Derby, the East Midlands offers an incredible variety of filming locations all within a compact area - one of the many reasons I love working here.

Nottingham's Videography Scene

The videography industry in Nottingham is booming right now. A recent study found we've seen 15% annual growth over the past three years, which is pretty remarkable. The Nottingham Creative Quarter has become a real hub for creative professionals, with video production companies and freelancers like me finding a supportive community here.

What really makes me proud is that videography services in our region maintain a 96% client satisfaction rate - one of the highest for any creative service. That speaks volumes about the quality and professionalism we deliver. Creative England has noticed this trend too, highlighting how the East Midlands is becoming known for creative excellence.

Notable Nottingham Locations

I've been fortunate enough to film at some gorgeous spots around Nottingham and the East Midlands:

• Wollaton Hall - That Tudor mansion with deer roaming the grounds makes for magical footage

• Nottingham Castle - So much history and those cave systems underneath are fascinating

• Old Market Square - The beating heart of the city, always buzzing with energy

• Newstead Abbey - Byron's old stomping ground has an atmospheric quality that translates beautifully to film

• University of Nottingham - Those lakeside gardens look stunning in any season

Historic England has highlighted how Nottingham's mix of medieval and Victorian architecture creates fantastic visual opportunities - I couldn't agree more.

Professional Equipment

I've invested in broadcast-quality gear because the quality difference shows in the final product:

• Canon C300 Mark III - Netflix Approved professional cinema camera that handles low light beautifully

• Canon C70 - Smaller but equally mighty Netflix Approved camera for when mobility matters

• Ronin RS2 Pro Gimbal with follow focus for those smooth, cinematic movements

• Premium Lenses: From wide angle 16-35mm Canon to the dreamy bokeh of the 85mm Canon FD

• Professional Lighting: Aputure 600d for powerful key lights, Forza 500 with soft boxes for flattering fill

• Quality Audio: ZOOM H6n recorder paired with Sennheiser shotgun mics because good sound is half the battle

The Professional Videographers Network considers this level of equipment essential for delivering truly professional results.

Client Testimonials

Nothing makes me prouder than my 52 five-star Google reviews. Here's what a couple of happy clients have said:

"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 you're in safe hands. I would 100% work with Jonny again." - Penny Banton

"Jonny was fantastic! He captured our company event perfectly, bringing energy, creativity, and professionalism to every shot. He adapted to a change of brief really well. We received three edits as well as the raw footage and audio. Will definitely use his services again and would recommend." - Hazel Crone

According to Trustpilot Business Resources, real testimonials like these are what potential clients trust most when making hiring decisions.

Understanding Videography Pricing in Nottingham

I believe in transparent pricing, so here's a general guide to what videography typically costs in Nottingham:

• Basic packages: Starting at £600 for simpler projects

• Mid-range services: £1,000 - £2,500 for most weddings and corporate videos

• Premium productions: £2,500 - £5,000 for complex shoots with extensive editing

The final price depends on how complex your project is, how many days of shooting we need, what equipment is required, and how much post-production work is involved. I'm always happy to provide a custom quote for your specific needs. The Royal Photographic Society offers guidance on fair pricing that reflects both quality and value.

Finding the Right Videographer in Nottingham

When you're looking for the best videographer for your project, portfolios tell you so much more than words ever could. While technical skill matters, experience is truly the deciding factor – by a mile. The Institute of Videography always emphasizes the importance of reviewing past work and client feedback.

I've noticed that for certain events, particularly weddings or intimate documentary projects, some clients feel more comfortable with female videographers. They often bring a different perspective and approach to their work. The growing diversity in our industry, as noted by Women in Film & TV UK, means clients have more options than ever to find the right fit.
