Voted One of the Best Wedding Videographers in the South West
Storybox Films Wins Highly Commended Wedding Videographer at The Wedding Industry Awards
Storybox Films wins highly commended South West wedding videographer at The Wedding Industry Awards. Now, that is a statement that’s going to take some time to sink in! Where do we start?! It was an honour to make the finals in the first place and even that came as a bit of a surprise.
We want to take the time to say a HUGE thank you from the bottom of our hearts to all of our 2023 couples who took the time to vote for us this year. We really are taken aback by the support and the lovely feedback we received. It’s cliche to say, but it makes us feel like we have the best “job” in the world. Being recognised as one of the best wedding filmmakers in the South West is the cherry on the cake for us for what has been an incredible year.
