RIA BALE ☀︎ NOSTALGIC WEDDING FILMS

I’m Ria, a wedding videographer living in Bristol, UK. I make films that feel like memories, specialising in vintage and retro formats such as super 8 and miniDV camcorder.

I started making films as a teenager, messing around with a camcorder and somehow it turned into this, documenting real people, real moments, and everything in between. Every wedding is it’s own little world and I feel lucky to be let in!

I’m quiet by nature, but I think that’s what makes me good at what I do. I like to observe more than direct, capturing the little in between moments, and I think that shows in my work.

When I’m not filming weddings I work in kids TV, so my days are a mix of timelines, story beats, and a lot of tea.

So if you’re into the nostalgic stuff, you’re in the right place. Thanks for being here!

“All we can say is thank you thank you thank you. You've finished our whole wedding experience off in the best way and we cannot thank you enough.”
