about me – my story

I’m Daiga — an experienced wedding videographer with a passion for capturing the timeless moments that make YOUR LOVE story uniquely yours.

I believe weddings are, at their core, about people. Two people choosing each other, families coming together, friendships celebrated. The flowers, the venue and the carefully chosen details provide a beautiful backdrop, but it’s the faces, the voices, the unscripted moments that make your film yours.

My films are built on story — visual and emotional, woven together with the real sounds of your day. I love mixing the warm, heartfelt moments with the fun, fast-paced, slightly unhinged ones — because that’s what weddings actually feel like – a mix of moments that make the best memories.

the experience

On your wedding day you’ll barely notice I’m there — small cameras, no fuss, just quietly capturing everything as it happens.

I am a recommended videographer at a number of venues across the Midlands, including Grangefields, Hazel Gap Barn, Thorpe Garden, Dorfold, Norwood Park, and Pumping House Ollerton. Being on a venue’s recommended list means I know the spaces, the teams, and the light — which makes a real difference on the day.
I also film regularly at Swancar Farm House, Shustoke Barn, and Mythe Barn, and a handful of times each year I pack up and head further afield for destination weddings in Greece, Spain, and Italy. If your wedding is somewhere not on this list, please get in touch. Over the last decade I have worked at countless venues across the UK and there is a good chance I have been to your venue before.

frequently asked QUESTIONS

I am a wedding videographer based in Nottingham, and I film weddings right across
the East Midlands, including Nottinghamshire, Derby and the surrounding counties. Most of my
couples are within about a two hour drive, which covers the whole region comfortably. I am
always happy to travel further afield too including London and the rest of the UK.
I also film a handful of destination weddings each year.

Yes, I do. Alongside UK weddings I film a few destination weddings each year, mostly in Europe (Italy, Greece and Spain). I love the change of pace and light that comes with a wedding abroad. If you are planning to marry overseas, get in touch with your dates and location and I will put together a tailored quote that covers travel and accommodation.

I will. No Ordinary Films is just me, Daiga. When you book, you get me on the day, every
time, with no risk of a substitute or second-stringer turning up. The only addition is when you book a joint package, where my husband Martin joins me as your photographer.

Three things, really.

Every film is genuinely yours, built around your relationship and the real moments of your day rather than a template.
the way I use sound. Layering
sound is at the heart of what makes my films feel alive, and it is something very few wedding videographers do. Alongside the formal moments like your vows and speeches, I capture the chatter during the morning preparations, the congratulations, the cheering, the clapping and laughter, and the natural ambience of the day. Sound is one of the strongest triggers of
memory, so a film built this way takes you straight back, and I weave it together with the visual storytelling techniques that carry the story alongside it.
I offer joint photography and videography with my husband Martin, which means your photo and video team already know each other. My focus is on craft and storytelling rather than competing on price.

Natural, modern, documentary-style films with a true-to-life look, layered sound and a good dose of fun. I tell the story of your day through real sound, voiceover, your vows and the unscripted moments, edited with pacing and story beats in mind, so it never drags. Expect beautiful, natural-light compositions, a bit of humour, and a film that actually feels like your day rather than a polished advert. I steer well clear of cheesy slow motion and over-staged, perfect-looking footage. My films are a good match for editorial style photography.

Hardly at all. For most of the day I stay quietly in the background and let things unfold, so
you can be fully present with your people. The one time I will gently guide you is during your
couple portraits, where a little direction helps you look and feel your best. Everything else is
just you, your guests and your day as it really happened.

Yes, where it is permitted and where it adds something to the film. Drone footage is lovely
for setting the scene at a venue, but I only fly when the location and conditions allow it, and I
never let it take over the story. If aerial shots matter to you, mention it when you enquire and
I will check whether your venue allows them.

I work with small, discreet cameras and keep a low profile, so most couples quickly forget I
am there. There is no posing, no staged set-ups and no awkward performing for the camera.
I also take real care to film the bride in a flattering, natural way. The more relaxed you are, the better the film, and a relaxed day is exactly what I am there to capture.

My couples tend to be people who care more about the feeling of their day than about
everything looking flawless. They value their friends and family, they like to party, and they
want a film that captures the real vibe of the day, mess and laughter included. If you are after picture-perfect, every-hair-in-place footage, I am probably not your person, and that is fine. I would always rather be the right fit than just another option.

I do not work from a fixed price list, because every wedding has its own shape, so the final figure depends on how much of the day you would like covered, which films you want, and whether you add a joint photography and videography package with Martin. Get in touch with your date and venue and I will send a tailored quote.

Every package is built around your wedding day: I edit the footage from your day into a
highlights film, with the option to add full ceremony, full speeches and/or a longer film depending on the package you choose. Content creation can also be added as an optional extra, and I offer joint photography and videography packages with my husband
Martin. I do not work from a fixed price list, because every wedding is different, so the exact
contents are shaped around what you would like covered. The best next step is a quick chat about what you have in mind

I personally focus on videography and content creation, but I also offer joint photography and
videography packages with my husband Martin, an experienced wedding photographer (you
can see his work at https://martincheung.com) We work as a husband-and-wife team who know exactly how the other moves through a day, so your photos and film feel connected and nothing gets missed. Many couples tell me that booking us together took a real weight off their planning.

Content creation is short, social-style clips filmed on a phone throughout your day and
delivered to you within 48 hours, long before your full film is ready. It is a fun mix of wedding videography and social content, and it means you have something to relive and share almost straight away. It is an optional add-on rather than part of every package, and it has quickly become one of my favourite things to offer, so do ask about it when you enquire.

A content creator and a videographer both film your day, but the results are quite different.
Content creation is quick, social-style footage (separate clips) shot on a phone and delivered within a day or two, made for sharing online while the memories are fresh. Videography is the crafted, cinematic film of your wedding, shot on professional cameras with proper audio and carefully edited over several weeks into a story you will treasure for years. I offer both, and many couples add content creation alongside their film so they have something to enjoy straightaway and a beautiful keepsake later.
Content creation is perfect if you want a bunch of video clips that you can scroll through on your phone and share on socials straight after wedding, but content creators normally do not film events in full, and do not have professional audio kit to capture the sound from ceremony and speeches. Filming with a phone has limitations when it comes to low light scenarios (think dark barns and winter weddings). Not all content creators have a backup if their phone dies or if they run out of space. This is something you should definitely check if you are planning to book one.
Videographers film the key events (speeches, ceremony, etc) in full and normally have professional equipment for sound recording and deliver fully edited films. However, not all videographers offer the same quality of work so it is important to watch their films and look at the reviews. You should also check how long will they take to deliver your videos as it can vary a lot.

To secure your date I take a booking fee, with the final balance due a month before the
wedding. Once you have enquired I will talk you through the exact figures and timings for
your package, and I am happy to discuss a payment schedule that works for you. Dates
book up well in advance, so it is worth getting in touch as early as you can.

As early as you comfortably can. I take bookings anywhere from a few years ahead right up to a month or so before the wedding, but popular dates, especially summer Saturdays, tend to go first. If your date is set, it is worth enquiring now even if the rest of your planning is still up in the air. If your wedding is soon, do still ask, as I may well have space.

Yes. Before your day we will usually have a pre-wedding chat, by phone or in person, to talk
through your timings, your plans and anything that matters to you. It helps me understand
the shape of your day and the moments you really do not want missed, and it means we
already know each other a little by the time the wedding comes around.

Quite possibly. I film at venues right across the East Midlands and I am a recommended
supplier at Hazel Gap, Grangefields, Norwood Park, Thorpe Garden and Pumping House in
Ollerton, and I also film regularly at Swancar Farm House, West Mill, Prestwold Hall and other venue in the Midlands. I have also worked at several London venues.
Even if I have not worked at your venue before, I always research and plan ahead, and some of my favourite films have come from venues that were new to me.

Yes, I am fully insured. If your venue needs to see my insurance documents for their
records, just ask them to contact me directly and I will happily send everything over.

It has never happened, but I plan for it all the same. I am part of a wider network of trusted
professional videographers, so in the very unlikely event that I could not attend, I would do
everything possible to arrange experienced cover and make sure your day is still filmed.
Your footage would then be edited by me in my usual style.

That depends on your package and the moments you want captured. Most couples have
me from the morning preparations through to the first dance and a little beyond, so the story
has a proper beginning, middle and end. When you enquire, tell me your rough timings and
we will work out the coverage that suits your day.

It is appreciated but never expected. A wedding is expensive enough already, so I would
never insist. If you would like to include a supplier meal I am grateful for it, and a main
course or supplier plate is plenty, with no need for a full wedding breakfast. If a meal is not
provided, I will simply slip away briefly during the meal to grab something, which is usually a
quiet moment anyway.

Always, and happily. I am used to sharing a day with photographers of all styles, and I am used to working as a team so that neither of us gets in the other’s shots. If you book a joint
package, your photographer is my husband Martin, which makes that teamwork completely
seamless.

I film with small, professional cameras chosen to be as unobtrusive as possible, so I can
move quietly and capture moments as they really happen. I also record proper audio so your vows, speeches and the natural sound of the day come through clearly, and I use a drone
for aerial shots where venues allow it.

Yes. I record clean audio of your ceremony and speeches, and good sound is a huge part of
what makes a film feel real. Your finished highlights film weaves the best of that audio
through the story and most packages include the full speeches video and full ceremony video too.

Your full wedding film is usually ready within six to eight weeks of your wedding date. It can
vary a little depending on how many weddings I have that month, so I will always tell you the
current lead time and keep you posted on progress. If you have added content creation, you will also have those clips within 48 hours of the day, so there is something to enjoy straight
away.

It depends on the package you choose. I offer several options, from a short highlights film of
around four to five minutes, to a longer film of roughly six to eight minutes, through to fulllength films that cover the day in more depth. A shorter film often suits a small, simple
wedding, while a longer or full-length film works beautifully for a multi-day celebration. I am
always happy to talk through which option suits your day best when you enquire.

My packages are built around beautifully edited films rather than raw footage, since the
editing is where the story really comes together. If having the longer or unedited footage
matters to you, mention it when you enquire and I will explain the options.

Your films are delivered digitally through an online gallery, so you can watch, download and
share them easily, including with family and friends abroad. It is a simple link, which makes it lovely and easy to send round to everyone who could not be there on the day.

I use properly licensed music in every film, so you can share your film online without
worrying about copyright takedowns. I choose tracks that suit the mood and pace of your
particular day, and if you have a song that means something to you, do mention it and I will see what is possible within licensing.

In practice the words are often used interchangeably. A traditional videographer tends to
record the day from start to finish from one position, while a cinematographer uses multiple
angles and blends sight and sound into a shorter, crafted film. I think of myself as a
cinematographer, because my focus is on telling the story of your day creatively rather than
simply recording it from beginning to end.

Just get in touch through the contact form on my website with your wedding date and venue,
or email me at info@noordinaryfilms.co.uk. I will let you know straight away whether your
date is free, and send you tailored package and pricing details. From there we can have a
proper chat about your plans.
