Based in the North of England, but filming wherever the story takes me!

MY STORY

Hello! – I’m Martin

 

I live with my wife on a hillside in the Weardale Valley in the north of England, overlooking the fields, forests and moorland of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (hence the name Valley Visuals).  We have the company of my wife’s two horses and our two pug dogs.  Our children are adults now and they come and go depending on what adventure they are currently on!

 

Whilst rural, my base location is well placed to access all of the north of England, and I travel further afield to, wherever the story takes me!

 

Having owned good quality cameras since my teenage years, I started making films of friends on cycling adventures  (mountain biking, in particular, is popular in the area where we live), using GoPros and drones and DSLRs and then expanded into promotional and editorial video projects for local businesses.  This quickly grew into a serious business.

  

I was asked to film a family wedding in the Almeria region of Spain in 2017.  When the video was first screened, everyone cried!  This was a pivotal moment for me as I fully realised the emotional power of the moving image.  From that point on I was hooked and my focus soon shifted to weddings!

 

Still, to this day my ultimate measure of success is when clients tell me that my films bring out tears of happiness!  It is a privilege to be able to deliver a memento and heirloom that can be enjoyed and treasured for decades and generations to come.

 

I find it hugely rewarding to create elegant films that bring great pleasure to couples.  To ensure that I devote my time effectively and so that your films reflect the true atmosphere of your wedding, I limit myself to only a small number of weddings each year.
