Moxhull Hall Hotel

Felicity & Adam’s wedding reception took place at the luxurious setting that is Moxhull Hall Hotel.

Being the recommended supplier to Moxhull Hall Hotel is a great honour and one that I do not take for granted. Each wedding is treated as an individual piece of work and having the benefit to film is such a great location makes the task alot easier to say the least. David Wadley was the photographer for the day. Working closely with David is also a great benefit as his professionalism assists me in capturing the bride and groom in such a relaxed manor.

With David’s speed and efficiency, Felicity and Adam braved the December weather for only a few minutes allowing us to capture some stunning footage within the grounds of Moxhull Hall.

Rowton Castle Wedding

Rowton Castle is a perfect setting for a wedding. Set amongst the stunning scenery of the Shropshire countryside it offers the perfect backdrop to that ‘fairytale’ wedding.

Holly and Tom had exclusive use of the venue and their Civil Ceremony took place in the glorious Cardeston Suite of Rowton Castle. The photographer for the day was Gary Williams of Gary Williams Photography. It’s always a pleasure working with Gary as his unique reportage style assists me in capturing all festivities as naturally as they unfold, allowing me to give a true representation of the wedding day.

Highclere Castle Wedding

Tracey & Greg were married earlier this year in the spectacular setting that is Highclere Castle, the film location for the Golden Globe winning drama, Downton Abbey. Highclere Castle offers sumptuous locations both interior and exterior. The wedding was going to be a feast to the eyes and an excellent setting for my new equipment. Having purchased the latest state of the art cinematography cameras that Sony has to offer, allowed me to film and do justice to what was on offer. Being able to film upto 960 frames per second is great for capturing super slow-motion shots of those confetti moments!

Hindu Wedding Ceremony

Ketan & Reena were married at The Ramada Park Hall Hotel, West Midlands. Zeus Films were commissioned to film and cover all the events taking place. Starting off with all the preparations and then onto the energetic procession of the groom lead by the dhol player to be welcomed by Reena’s parents. The Hindu Marriage Ceremony was meticulously performed as always by the Hindu priest Rajendra. The Vidai Ceremony was especially poignant as Reena would be leaving to start a new life in the USA but the solemn atmosphere would only last a short while as the room, which was transformed by the unique touch of Mistique Events, would erupt with energy as Ketan & Reena accompanied by all their guests celebrated the night away.  Working with Hina of Hina Photography is always a pleasure. Her eye for great composition comes naturally and along with her sidekick Louis are able to capture the day with a unique and creative style.

The 2012 Wedding Industry Awards

Having won the award for Best Regional Wedding Videographer at The 2012 Wedding Industry Awards, please find below all comments supplied by a few of my clients which went towards the voting process.

“We were so overwhelmed by the effort this company put into the day – very friendly and discreet attention with the most professional service. I never hesitate in reccommending this company to others. Andy Louca makes the entire wedding party feel comfortable, special, and at ease, whilst maintaining the hightest discretion on the day. The service and communication prior to the wedding, on the day, and after the wedding was faultless, and so very very appreciated. Absolutely flawless.”

“My husband Emi (Emmerich) and I are so thankful to Zeus Films for capturing our Wedding Day to Perfection. We found him to be discreet, professional and in every place at the right time. For us he is the Best there is and we Highly Recommend him to everyone. Zeus Films really does go the extra mile to make sure that you get the perfect wedding video! Thank you so much Andy Louca – Zeus Films for our perfect wedding dvd even everyone else comments on how fantastic our wedding video dvd is. You’re the Best!!!!!!!! Jeni & Emi.”

“Andy was very attentive throughout right from the enquiry stage which I am please to say continued through to the final product. Always rang me back the same day, sounded keen to speak to me no matter what it was about. He is very enthusiastic and passionate about what he does and is really keen to please you without being intrusive or pushy. On the day he was very polite and professional and got on with the job he was there to do. There was no feeling that he was overtaking the day in any way and he worked well with the photographer too. A nice man who you feel would go the extra mile to make sure you got what you wanted. He allows for editorial changes within a 2 week period of receiving the film which is a real bonus as not many other videographers will. A real hit!”
“Zeus are Excellent quality. Professional company always respond to emails and phone calls straight away. On the actual wedding day they were fantastic!”
“Zeus were fantastic throughout the wedding process and I would recommend them to anyone.”

“Andy was absolutely fantastic. Always easily contactable before and after the wedding. On the day he was amazing, we barely noticed he was there, he looked so smart and blended in with our guests easily. The DVD itself is magical. It captured such beautiful moments and the editing to music was just perfect. We couldn’t recommend him more highly.”

“Andy was a very friendly and professional gentleman who made our wedding day a very memorable one, he did a great job of compiling all the events we had into a great dvd making a day rememberable by everyone.”

“easy to work with , punctual , on time, friendly , adaptable, worked well with other professioanals , easy going”

“Andy is a true professional. From the moment I made an enquiry about Zeus, he was willing to provide sufficient information (prices, samples, levels of service) immediately, and we appreciated his patient manner (unlike others who pester and pressure you for a quick decision). His organizational skills are also very good (this is something very important to me). He allowed us to take our time (my husband was in the US during the planning stage of the wedding, and I joined him mid way), and once we did he was diligent throughout the process (reminders of payments, and when things should be due). He was proactive, and scheduled calls with me when I moved to the US to ensure he understood the timing of the wedding and was even kind enough to reach out to our photographer and event decorator to coordinate timings, without my assistance. On the day, he came to the venue well ahead of time, and was also very calming (it was a very special day) and did not make us feel akward when recording (very natural directing which is another thing we loved about his work). He is also one of the nicest people I met during the whole wedding planning which is also made it great fun to work with him. We had an amazing experience with Andy and we hope he enjoyed working with us as much as we enjoyed working with him.”

“zeus films was proffesional and made our wedding day dvd very special to us and included all our happy memories”

“Extremely professional and friendly. Managed to put everyone at ease on an extremely stressful day! Excellent work”

“Our wedding video is absolutely fantastic. Editing on it is superb. When I have kids he’ll definately doing the video for us.”

“Absolutely outstanding!!”

“My wife and I loved every minute the dvd! We saw our rather large wedding from the guests angle and we spent 3 hours enjoying our own wedding as a guest! We gave Andy a selection of music with no list of where we want each piece of music and Andy’s placing and timing of each piece was excellent. Throughout the wedding day, we didn’t really notice Andy. We liked that he wasn’t “in our faces” all day he was far away from us but managed to capture every single minute of the best day of our lives. Having seen Andy’s work, we have always recommended hiring a videographer to our friends who are getting married. To see your own wedding as a guest really is something else. Andy managed to capture some excellent shots and the scene in the Church still moves me to tears!!”

“We found Andy to be great on the day. Very discreet, on time, smartly dressed. Made myself as the bride and all of our guest feel very comfortable. I would definitely recomend him for your special day…”

“Zeus films are very professional you don’t even know they are there.the finished DVD is of a high standard and he captured every part of the day”
“i watch my wedding dvd once a month as i love the way zeus films has capured the moment”

“Zeus Films were an excellent choice for our wedding for a number of reasons: a) Highly recommended not just by family but by many friends b) Excellent special effects on the dvd c) On the day Andrew is like a wedding planner, he has a plan and helps your day go as smooth as possible d) Captures so many moments through out the day e) Excellent value for money f) Andrew was very professional in his approach which was appreciated on the day.”

“Andy Louca is an absolute legend, he was professional and never promised anything he couldn’t deliver. He was recommended by numerous family members. We wanted a high quality video to go with the wedding, we knew he would not let us down by cheapening the video with effects etc. He was never in the way, managed to get excellent shots. Watching the video after he captured every special moment. This is down to his experience because he knew where to be and when and then he knew not to get in the way. We didn’t have to wait long for the DVD, it was only a few weeks after we got back of our honeymoon and not once did we have to chase him. Overall value for money and fantastic service”

“We recieved an outstanding service from Zeus on our wedding day. We could not have asked for any more. Highly professional before and after the wedding, and on our wedding day he was that discret we did not know he was even there. The video bought tears to our eyes, all family and friends loved every second of it, a memory i can treaure for ever and watch over a million times!! I would recommened Zeus to everyone- he is truly the BEST!!”

“Andy was fantastic on our wedding day,it felt like he was part of our family without being in the way.Our finished DVD was amazing!”

“When we first met Andy we warmed to him straight away, he wasn’t pushy or arrogant which is what we had experienced with other suppliers. His customer care before during and after the wedding was amazing, we had full confidence in him from the first meeting. After the wedding he kept us informed of how the colation of the DVD was going and when we received and viewed the DVD I was blown away. The DVD was like nothing I expected even though I had watched other wedding DVD’s he provided as examples. The DVD was an individual piece of work that we will cherish forever and are keen at every opportunity to show off to friends and family. We would recommend Zeus films time and time again, and I’d go through the day again just so that I could experience watching another DVD of our wedding:)”

“Andy @ Zeus was always very helpful and was interested in delivering to our needs, planning everything prior to the event. During the weding and reception, Andy went unnoticed, which is exactly what we wanted, he went about capturing the days events without intruding and was always polite and helpful.”
“Zeus Films, filmed our whole day and the end result was fantastic nothing was missed. Also mingled in with the guests making everyone comfortable. Excellent service.”

“Was extremely helpful before and after. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was captured and that everything we wanted was met. He stayed right to the end so working a 17 hour day. Even after that he was still so helpful. We couldn’t of got a better videographer. I would definitely recommend him. It was the one thing I didn’t have to worry about.”

“Zeus Films have given us the most perfect and beautiful keepake of our wedding that we could ever have asked for. So many aspects of your wdding day slip past in a blur and the wedding DVD has made sure that no aspect of our day was missed. This is truly the best keepsake of our day that we will treasure forever, along with our families who were also amazed by the quality of zeus’s work. There simply are not the words to thank Andy!”

“Zeus films are amazing the work is magical they make ur wedding DVD look romantic magical and very personal I watch mine once a week I love it. It reminds me of my magical day. Everyone who sees my DVD asks who did it n speak of how amazing n quality work they done. I couldn’t thank them enough every time I c them at a wedding I tell them how amazing there work is x”

“We are extremely thankful to Andy Louca as he captured so many elements of our wedding day that my wife and I will always cherish in years to come. Andy was extremely discrete and professional on the day and managed to capture so much without being seen by our guest.”

“The wedding dvd we recieved from Zeus films was absoultely amazing and Andy captured some fanatstic images of our wedding day which we will be able to keep forever in the dvd he has produced for us and our family. Andy did such a great and professional job as he didnt interfer or get in the way at all during our wedding, in fact we didnt even notice he was ther half the time which is amazing consdiering he managed to shoot all the important moments and also the moments we missed or didnt see ourselves. i would thouroghly recomend using zeus films and it was worth every penny as we now hav such a fantastic reminder of our day!!”

“Zeus films are amazing! They are discreet on the day, so that they get all natural shots of everyone enjoying their day. The way they edit the video is astounding, it flows beautifully. The video itself is gorgeous, Zeus did everything i asked of them, exactly how i wanted it. They managed to capture ever moment of the day. I knew from even before i was engaged that when i got married, i would have Zeus Films, i would even change my date if he was fully booked!!!!! You only have to go on the Zeus website to get a taste of how great they really are.”

“Zeus Films ‘films’ speak for themselves! They capture everything you could ever wish for….and so much more. Andy is professional and friendly, a top guy!”
“Andy is a extremely personable chap – his calming influence at a time of high stress meant that we were never in doubt that he would do a fantastic job. One the day he was suitably discreet but managed to capture some great moments that we will never forget. I would highly recommend Andy to anyone who asked. Whilst he wasnt the cheapest videographer we feel strongly that we more than got our money’s worth.”

“Andy provided an excellent service and we would definatley recommend his service to anyone.”

“Excellent guy and great video! Made you feel relax on the day!”
“Zeus films provided us with a fantastic memento of the day which we will watch for years to come. Andy was very helpful prior to the wedding and after and made the whole process very easy and stress free. On the day, he couldn’t have been more discrete and we and guest hardly noticed he was there so all in all a brilliant service.”

“Fantastic video, didn’t even realise he was there and was therefore never intimidated by a video in your face, when we saw the finished video it was outstanding and will be something we treasure for years to come”

“He is very helpful and polite and very understanding. I have had other camera man for my sons christening and he always thought that what ever he said was best. Now I regret not having Zeus Films for my sons christening as for he would have heard me of what I wanted. I would definatly recommend Zeus Films but then again I wouldn’t have to because he has a very good name for himself and people just don’t bother in the Greek comunitty to search for a camera man because we know that we have a outstanding camera man right here. He makes so much effort to make sure that everything is perfect for the customer. He is very very recommended from experience with Zeus Films and he deserves to win”

“Zeus captured our wedding perfectly from the home to the church and throughout the whole evening he has a fantastic service asking us before and after for photos and music we would like to use, the video is excellent quality capturing the entire wedding in a storybook style with a flow which gives anyone who wasnt there a true insight of our day, distant relatives all commented on the fact they had never seen such a fantastic wedding video, i have never seen such a amazing video he is truly a cut above the rest”

“I would highly recommend Andy at Zeus Films without hesitation to any bride and groom. He is completely professional, has a gently quiet style and manner which I like. He took on board our suggestions for how we would like it to go on the day. Afterwards, he was also a pleasure to deal with when making editorial changes. He was a delightful addition to our wedding day and I am so thrilled with the results of the wedding video. We are very lucky to have that visual memory of our wonderful day.”

“We cannot thank Zeus enough for capturing all the special moments and collaborating it all so beautifully without imposing on our day. We have no regrets and 100% recommend Zeus to any couple who is looking to have that opportunity to re-live their day over and over again.”

“I would highly recommend Andy as he is fantastic at what he does. He prides himself on being discreet and indeed he was, yet managed to capture the day perfectly. He has a lovely personality and is a pleasure to communicate with.”
“Andy is an amazing videographer. I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have the DVD of my wedding that he created, it is absolutely beautiful. It is professional, well shot, well edited and captures the true essence of our day. I cannot praise him enough and would not hesitate to book him again or recommend him to anyone I know.”
“Zeus films from start-finish have been most helpful, contactable, professional and friendly. On our actual wedding day, Andrew was not noticable and many of our friends enquired whether we had even had a videographer. This was a testament to Zeus films. We particularly were initially attracted to the website and were even sent a sample DVD from a wedding he had covered at our venue. I would not hesitate to recommend Zeus films to any friends.”

“professional, artistic a real credit to his profession.”

“Andy manages to do exactly what he hopes to – he captures one of the most important days of your life and you hardly realise he’s there. No intrusions. No orders. Just a natural part if the day and for that, we are incredibly thankful.”
“Great service, very friendly and easy going. Hardly noticed he was there but know he has captured everything. Perfect!”

“Andy is so professional and we barely noticed him. He stayed with us until about 1am, and we can’t thank him enough for covering our special day so well and creating our dvd of memories.”

“The fact that I did not need to edit the production given to me, speaks for itself! Absolutely outstanding!”

“Zeus films are a highly professional outfit – their level of service is amazing. They understood exactly what we wanted and we’re so thrilled with our wedding DVD. Andy really went above and beyond what we were looking for. They even sent a crew member to the south west to shoot the groom getting ready on the morning of our wedding. I’d recommend them to anyone searching for a videographer.”

Before the wedding starts, through the whole wedding service and even going through til the end of the evening. Zeus Films is an absolute perfectionist and you can see it in his work.

“I saw his work of many of my friends videos and was very impressed with his work so I asked around and checked his website and checked how many people had zues films for there events and that’s when I realised he was just what I wanted, so then i got in touch with him and he was great”

“because of the recommendation from our photographers and his pricing.”

“The oustanding service, and fantastic DVD we received for my brothers wedding left no doubt in my mind as to who I would ideally love to film my own wedding. Thankfully, Zeus agreed to film our own wedding day. We appreciated how far Andy Loucas travelled, and how he communicated with the bridal party, the guests, and even the photographer. One final notable quality to this company is despite the somewhat repetitive wedding industry, the attention and effort put into the individuals day is second to none. I was amazed with the finished DVD. Oustanding.”

“My sister in law recommended him.”

“We booked Zeus films as we wanted everything we can to remember our special day by. My wife and I both agree that it was money well spent. Everyone who has seen our wedding video comments on how EVERYTHING was captured. Good Luck Andy, Mez & Tash”

“I had met Andy briefly at my aunts wedding (who is a perfectionist) and was impressed with the sample I saw of the wedding on his blog. I then made an enquiry and compared with other vendors in the West Midlands area (I was based in London so a lot of communication was on phone and email) and I found Andy to be the most professional, organised and kindest from all the enquires i had made. I did not have a chance to meet Andy before the wedding, which was risky, however he instilled all the confidence I needed via phone/email that he would complete the job to the best standard possible. And he did not let us down. We would highly recommend him to anyone.”

“To capture everything on our day as it goes by so fast. Really liked what we’d seen on the promotion dvd, we liked his style.”

“The Zeus Films website was very professional and the examples of his work shown on the website were very impressive. I enquired about his services and he kindly sent me an example DVD of a wedding shot at the same venue as ours which really helped to give us an idea of what our DVD could be like.”
