Spotlight on Steve Tew videographer

I first started in wedding videography some 25 years ago. I worked with a college filming weddings mainly in the Worcestershire area. In those days VHS and Betamax were the latest technology; thankfully things have moved on and we now shoot digitally on tape and increasingly on hard disk. We can now deliver superbly high quality images on DVD and increasingly in High Definition on Blu-Ray disk.
 
After about 5 years in the business I moved away from wedding filming and went into the IT industry. After receiving numerous request to film weddings over the years, I finally succumbed to demand and in 2006  decided to start filming weddings again. Setting up  my own business meant I had to purchase the latest digital equipment; although not cheap it has proved necessary and very successful. My IT background has proved useful in this digital era and it’s extremely satisfying to receive compliments from customers when they see their finished wedding DVD.
 
The most unusual wedding I have ever filmed was for a very plentiful and rather boisterous Italian family. Filming started about 10am on the Saturday morning and finished about 6am the following day!
 
Multi camera shoots are becoming more popular now. I put two cameras on every wedding as standard, but for my Gold Package I also use an extra camera operator. This means much more editing for me but it does allow me to create a far more comprehensive film.
