FILMS STAY WITH YOU
THESE WORDS STAY WITH ME
Not just about the films themselves, but about how the day felt to them.
How comfortable they were.
How present they felt.
How much the small moments ended up meaning later.
These are a few words from people who trusted Chapter 12 to preserve those memories for them.
That feels very “you”.
Quietly emotional without trying too hard.
“We honestly forgot we were being filmed most of the day, which was one of the biggest things we were worried about beforehand. The film felt so natural and emotional when we watched it back. It genuinely felt like us..”
L+J, 2026
“I cried within the first minute of watching our film back. Somehow all the little moments we missed during the day were there.”
A+S, 2026
“I don’t think either of us realised how much this film would mean to us afterwards. Like most couples, we originally thought of videography as something that would just be nice to have, but now it’s probably the thing we value most from the entire wedding. The whole day goes by so quickly and there are so many moments you don’t fully take in at the time. Watching everything back brought us straight back into the feeling of the day again. The speeches, our families, everyone together in one place, even the atmosphere in the room during dinner. It felt emotional in a very real way, not forced or overly dramatic. We’ve watched it so many times already and every single time we notice something new in the background. We honestly feel so grateful to have these memories preserved this way.”
J & M, 2025
“We spent months looking through wedding films because we knew we wanted something that felt personal and relaxed rather than overly cinematic or performative. The moment we found Chapter 12, something just felt different. The films actually felt real. On the day itself, everything was handled so quietly and professionally that we were able to just enjoy ourselves without thinking about cameras or posing constantly. A lot of our guests even commented afterwards that they barely noticed filming happening. Then when we received the final film, we were completely blown away. It didn’t just show what the day looked like, it somehow captured what it actually felt like to be there. There’s such a warmth to it that’s hard to explain properly. We know this is something we’ll keep coming back to for the rest of our lives.”
O & N, 2026
“The small moments ended up being the most emotional parts of the film. Little reactions, hugs, people laughing in the background. Things we never even saw on the day itself.”
R & J, 2025
“We were really nervous about being on camera and ended up barely noticing it was there. Everything felt relaxed from start to finish.”
K & N, 2024
“The small moments ended up being the most emotional parts of the film. Little reactions, hugs, people laughing in the background. Things we never even saw on the day itself.”
P & C, 2026
“There are moments in the film I genuinely don’t remember happening because the day went by so quickly. I’m so grateful those moments were captured for us.”
E & K, 2024
“We looked through so many wedding videographers before finding Chapter 12 and this was the first time we felt like, “Yes. This feels like us.”
S & E, 2025
“Watching our wedding film feels less like watching a video and more like stepping back into the atmosphere of the day again.”
J & O, 2025
“One of the best decisions we made during the whole wedding process.”
G & E, 2026
“We wanted something honest and documentary-style rather than overly cinematic and we couldn’t have chosen better.”
P & J, 2025
“Every single person we’ve shown the film to has said the same thing. It feels incredibly personal and emotional without being cheesy.”
L & C, 2025
“We were quite nervous about choosing a videographer because we didn’t want our wedding to feel staged or like we were constantly being directed all day. From the first conversation, everything felt very calm and natural, which honestly put us at ease straight away. On the wedding day itself, we barely noticed the camera most of the time, and that was exactly what we wanted. Looking back at the film now, it somehow captured the atmosphere of the day so perfectly. Not just the big moments, but all the small in-between parts we would have completely forgotten otherwise. Family members laughing in the background, little looks between people, moments during the speeches we missed entirely at the time. It all feels incredibly honest and emotional without ever feeling overdone. We genuinely couldn’t imagine our wedding being captured any better than it was.”
S & A, 2025

Renee was the Videographer for our “Alice in Wonderland” themed wedding at Belleek Castle on the West Coast of Ireland. Her stunning work and infectious personality had such a positive impact on us that it took time to write this review, as words didn’t seem enough to describe such a wholesome experience.
For us, our wedding was an occasion to celebrate not only our love, but also friendship, family, and life; and that the energy and magic of the day were unforgettable.
When I discovered Renee, I was searching for a Videographer who could genuinely capture our authentic emotions, precious moments, and tell compelling stories. Renee was perfect.
Our quirky theme, complete with with "Alice in Wonderland" actors and a Bubblelologist instead of confetti, needed a videographer with an agile and imaginative mind, who was communicative and assertive. Also, while I enjoy being photographed, my husband is quite camera averse.
Renee, "the professional", managed to capture the unique energy and magic of our day. Renee, "the human being", made us both feel comfortable and genuinely ourselves, even up close.
Today I am happy to say that hiring Renee was one of the best decisions. From our first call she understood our vision, theme, and concerns, aligning her vibe with ours. Her dedication and creativity shone through before, during, and after the wedding. In fact, Renee had so many creative ideas that I find it necessary to highlight some.
Pre-wedding, she took the time to watch the “Alice in Wonderland” film that inspired our wedding theme. On our wedding day, her experience and humor were key to help us relax during the emotional morning.
The highlight was how Renee warmly capture our laughter, ecstatic joy, and genuine emotions, celebrating us and our loved ones perfectly. She moved so seamlessly among our guests, bringing such a personal touch that many thought she was a lifelong friend. That’s how it felt for us too.
She also collaborated with our Spanish photographer as if they’d had worked together before. Then, the very next day, she produced a magical 1-minute wedding teaser that captured the essence of our day, perfectly. It was such a perfectly condensed video that it seemed surreal to get it so soon; and it’s hard to believe it was just one person filming and editing!
A few weeks later, when Renee delivered our 5-minute and full wedding films, we were thrilled. She not only captured our personalities and the vibe of the day but also blended our cultures (Irish and Uruguayan) seamlessly.
Watching the videos for the first time was a revelation, allowing us to relive beautiful moments and see our guests' joy unfold through her lens. The guests who had been there were ecstatic to watch it too; and the ones who hadn’t found it a precious gift.
Renee's lens makes you fall in love, her personality soothes, her vision inspires. We're already looking forward to having her at our 10-year anniversary.
Thank you, Rene, for capturing our day so perfectly and for making us fall in love all over again when we watch the videos! We will treasure these memories forever.”
C & R, 2024
“Renée, where do I even begin with this review? Can I give you more than 5 stars? Having you as part of our wedding day was such a pleasure, and we honestly cannot thank you enough for everything you did for us.
Here you go.....
From the very first conversation we had with Renee about her availability, she was so warm, friendly, and easy to talk to. From the beginning, she completely put us at ease and made the whole process feel so relaxed and natural.
Honestly, on the day she was just amazing to have around. She was so friendly, calm, and professional, and brought such a bright, positive energy to the day. She blended in so naturally that half the time we forgot we were even being filmed.
One of the most special moments of our day was making an unplanned stop to visit my Nannie in hospital, and Renée was so accommodating about it. Nothing was a problem for her on the day. She captured those moments so beautifully, and that part of the video now means more to us than she will probably ever know. It is something we will treasure forever.
For anyone who is unsure about booking a videographer do it book Renée honestly you won't regret it. I am honestly so glad Renée still had our date available when I reached out to her because she was absolutely the best person for the job.
Only a few short months later, the moments she captured have already become even more precious than we ever imagined they would be. Being able to look back on all those little moments and emotions is priceless, and it was truly money so well spent.
We honestly could not recommend Renée enough. She gave us memories we will cherish forever and we are so grateful to her for capturing our day so perfectly.
Renée from the bottom of our hearts thank you,
L & S, 2025 ”
