creative, nostalgic wedding films for free-spirited couples
Bristol - UK - Anywhere
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 first picked up a camera during my vchi 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 as an editor in kids TV. Storytelling in two very different worlds, and I love both equally.
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.”

“We are absolutely blown away!!! The video she put together bought us both to tears, many a time whilst watching it and all the times I've rewatched it.”
