A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME.
Welcome to my story.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of documenting more than 2,500 funerals across the UK — each one unique, personal, and deeply meaningful. Through funeral videography, photography, and live streaming, I’ve dedicated my career to helping families stay connected, remember, and celebrate their loved ones with dignity, care, and compassion.
What began as a simple wish to help people feel closer to one another in times of loss has grown into a lifelong passion for storytelling. Every service I film — whether in a grand cathedral, a forest burial ground, a small chapel, or a vibrant Caribbean or African church — reminds me how powerful these moments of connection can be.
I believe funeral filming is about far more than technology. It’s about empathy, understanding, and respect. My approach is always discreet and thoughtful, ensuring that each farewell is captured beautifully, without ever intruding on the family’s space or emotions.
Below is a short film — a collection of moments that reflect my journey and passion for what I do. It brings together many of the different types of funerals I’ve been honoured to document, and the valuable experience I’ve gained from working with families of every background, faith, and culture.
My Journey Into Funeral Videography and Photography
My name is Shaun, and my journey into videography and Photography began around 15 years ago when a friend asked me to film their wedding. From that moment, I was captivated — by the emotion, the once-in-a-lifetime moments, and the power of storytelling through naturally unfolding events.
As my skills developed, I travelled across the UK and Europe, filming not only weddings but also corporate events, NHS medical procedures, and Health & Safety training videos for major companies including Cadbury’s, Severn Trent, Bombardier, Drax Power Station, and Arriva Trains.
I’ve had the privilege of working in extraordinary locations — travelling through a manmade tunnel deep inside an Italian mountain to document the flow of water through a giant turbine, filming in French castles, and visiting behind the scenes in places the public would never normally see.
But live events have always been where my heart lies. I love the challenge of capturing moments as they naturally unfold and transforming them into cinematic, meaningful films. That passion naturally led me to funeral videography, photography and later live funeral streaming, where I could use my skills to help families honour, remember, and share the moments of farewell with dignity and care.
A Jamaican Funeral Changed Everything
Then, about eight years ago, I was asked to film a Jamaican funeral for a family struggling to find a funeral videographer willing to take on the task. Without hesitation, I agreed — unaware that this moment would change the course of my filming career forever.
From the moment I began filming, I was moved in a way I had never experienced before. The emotion, the energy, and the celebration of life within that service were extraordinary. When I delivered the final film, the family told me they had “never seen a funeral film so beautifully crafted — something we can cherish for generations to come.”
Word spread quickly. More families reached out, and within 18 months, I had filmed nearly 100 funerals across the UK.
A Service That Became a Lifeline
Few videographers & photographers choose to specialise in funerals, and those who do often overlook the sensitivity, quality, and unique approach to storytelling that these moments deserve. I saw the gap — and I knew I could offer something different.
Over the past nine years, I’ve filmed more than 2,500 funerals across the UK, helping families preserve memories and connect with loved ones across the world.
When the pandemic struck, my work took on a new meaning. With restrictions on gatherings, funeral live streaming became a vital connection for families unable to attend in person. It allowed people to be there virtually — to see, hear, and take part in the farewell — even from thousands of miles away.
A Commitment to Honouring Every Life
Today, my team and I continue to serve families across the UK with funeral videography, funeral photography, and live streaming services. Each service is approached with the same care, professionalism, and respect that I’d want for my own loved ones.
Every funeral we document is a story — a story of love, faith, culture, and connection. It’s an honour and a privilege to help families preserve those moments forever, and it’s a responsibility I never take lightly.
What Our Families Say
To us this is such a natural thing to do. It is the last time we will see his body and we will always want to remember him 💙 This lovely man shaun made that possible for us to have many more times to remember him.
I highly highly recommend Shaun, he was very kind, sympathetic, discreet and respectful.
Thank you shaun from the bottom of our hearts ♥️
Jai & Family - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Shaun did an incredible job filming our family funeral. This was so important to us as we wanted to share the service with our families in Jamaica, Barbados, and the rest of the world.
From start to finish, Shaun was incredibly easy to work with. His availability during out-of-hours and late at night was a pleasant surprise. The finished video he produced exceeded our expectations. He captured all the culturally significant aspects of the funeral, ensuring nothing was missed. He worked tirelessly throughout the day, filming the family home, the church, the open coffin, the burial, and the wake. He wasn't intrusive, but worked diligently and with the greatest respect.
The crisp quality of the video and audio was beyond anything we or our family had ever seen before. We are absolutely thrilled with our choice and feel lucky to have found him. We cannot recommend him enough.”

This is the first Funeral I Filmed just over 9 Years Ago
Just over nine years ago, I filmed my very first funeral — an experience that would quietly change the course of my career and the way I viewed my work forever.
What began as a simple request from a grieving family soon became one of the most meaningful things I’ve ever done. It was a day filled with emotion, reflection, and love — and it showed me the true importance of what I do now every single day: helping families remember, connect, and hold on to those precious final moments together.
Below is the heartfelt message I received from that family after delivering their film, along with a few images from that very day:
To us, this felt like such a natural thing to do. It was the last time we would see his body, and we wanted to remember him forever. 💙
Shaun made that possible — giving us a way to revisit those moments and hold onto them for years to come.
I highly, highly recommend Shaun. He was kind, sympathetic, discreet, and deeply respectful throughout.
Thank you shaun from the bottom of our hearts. ♥️
Why This Work Matters to Me
Funerals are deeply moving occasions — filled with raw emotion, love, and shared memories. Every service is unique. Some are quiet and reflective; others are powerful celebrations of life. Each one carries its own story, and capturing those moments feels profoundly meaningful to me.
Although I occasionally cover weddings and commercial projects, my true passion lies in funeral photography, videography, and live streaming. Working alongside families during such sensitive times and helping them preserve these moments is a privilege I never take for granted.
For me, this isn’t just a job — it’s an honour to create something lasting, something that helps families remember and celebrate a life with dignity and care.
My Values When Filming and Photographing Funerals
I believe that every farewell deserves to be treated with the highest level of respect, sensitivity, and professionalism. These values guide me through every service I capture:
Respect: Every family, every culture, every farewell is unique. I treat each with the dignity and reverence it deserves.
Sensitivity: I work unobtrusively, allowing families and guests to focus on the moment while I quietly capture it all.
Empathy: I take time to understand the family’s wishes, appreciating the depth of their emotions and the importance of their memories.
Professionalism: Every detail — from the camera setup to the sound quality — is handled with care and precision to ensure the best possible result.
Discretion: All footage and images are treated with complete confidentiality and respect, always in line with the family’s preferences.
These principles are at the heart of everything I do. Whether I’m live streaming a funeral, filming a cinematic memorial, or capturing photographs that tell a story, my goal is always the same — to help families honour their loved ones beautifully and meaningfully.
