Signature Wedding Films is now Oxley Films - Same filmmaker, same work.
Warwickshire is England made literal - Stratford-upon-Avon and its Shakespeare associations, Kenilworth and its castle history, farmland and hedgerows that feel archetypal. The county blends medieval heritage with industrial repurposing - old mills, factories, foundries converted into wedding venues sit alongside traditional manor houses and farms. A wedding videographer in Warwickshire encounters honest, varied architecture: timber-framed buildings, red brick industrial, stone farmhouse, contemporary conversions that respect the original structures.
The landscape is working farmland: rolling fields divided by mature hedgerows, water features that are functional parts of agricultural landscape rather than designed ornaments.
I'm Chris Oxley. I film weddings at country houses and private estates across the UK.
I started this because when I got married in 2015, we didn't have a videographer. I wanted to build something I wished had existed for us. Films that hold up years later. A real record of a real day, not a montage of prompted moments.
I handle the consultation, the filming, the edit, the grade, and the delivery. Fifteen weddings a year, and I'm personally at every one.
Recognition: TWIA Regional Finalist

Warwickshire couples are typically 25-40, often from Birmingham, Coventry, or regional cities, or from London choosing something with genuine regional character. Many have family connections to the area. They're drawn to converted industrial venues because those buildings are authentic and distinctive. They like heritage and history but don't want it polished into irrelevance. They want films that show the actual character - sometimes that's quirky and industrial, sometimes that's pastoral and traditional.
Many wedding videographers arrive with a shot list. I don't. I arrive early, stay quiet, and pay attention. The film comes from what actually happens. I might offer the occasional quiet prompt when it matters, but I'm not staging moments or running through the same poses as everyone else.
I tend to work with couples based in and around London who want something honest. A real record of a real day. Not a highlight reel built from the same five moments as everyone else's.
I film fifteen weddings a year. That number lets me edit every film personally, respond to every email myself, and still show up fully present on your day. Every frame graded and cut by me. No outsourced editing. No house style.
Weddings per year, by design, not accident
A single point of contact — always me
Years filming at UK country houses and private estates
"We don’t even know where to start! Hiring Chris to shoot our wedding video was the BEST decision we made for our wedding. From the first meeting we had to discuss his style and approach, we knew we were on to the right person. Chris’ attention to detail is parallel to none."
"We weren’t originally going to get a videographer but it was worth every penny. The whole day is so much to process that you forget bits after. Having this video to treasure forever was the perfect way to cure the wedding blues."
"Before meeting Chris, we weren’t sure how to appear on film. After working with him, we felt completely comfortable, and he captured every organic moment we wanted."
Two films. One is the emotional hit - a film that puts you straight back in the room. As long as it needs to be, not a second longer. The other is the full day, preserved. Every usable moment I filmed, in order, so nothing is lost to the edit. The film brings you back. The archive lets you stay.
My edit, my instinct, my read of your day. Graded, set to music, no fixed runtime. Some films are five minutes. Some are fifteen. It depends on what unfolds.
Every usable, raw moment in the order it happened. One camera, one timeline. Not graded, not stylised. Just the full day, preserved. Nothing hits the cutting room floor.
Industrial conversions have high ceilings and exposed brick with light coming through skylights and windows - plan your ceremony time to take advantage of this. Red brick and stone exteriors have varying reflectivity depending on light direction. Many Warwickshire venues are on working farms, so confirm access roads, farm activity, and potential noise when planning your day.
Warwickshire industrial venues are specific and distinctive. Let's discuss how your converted mill or farmhouse will look on film.
Send your date, venue, and the collection you're leaning towards. If you're not sure, just outline your plans and I'll suggest the right approach. I'll come back to you personally within 24 hours.
