Subtle, Emotive & Raw Wedding Films
As Wedding Videographers, the Wedding Films we produce seek to capture the unique connection of both couples. We shy away from following formulas, set lists or agendas. Our goal is to capture the energy, connection and passion within the people gathered, reflecting the day truthfully and creatively.
We see your story as it is. The words you share within your vows, or those within your wedding breakfast speeches. These become the backbone upon which we layer our distinctive style of Wedding Videography & wedding films.
Our Wedding films are different. They’re fast paced, humorous and tender highlight films. A roller coaster ride, skimming all the greatest moments of the day, in one strong edit that will always keep you amused, bringing you back to the emotion of the moment time & again.
Being able to supply both photography, videography & drone all in house enables us to deliver exemplary work. Our experienced, light weight synchronised team work seamlessly together towards one goal – an amazing visual record for each & every couple!

We feel so lucky to have had Linus as our wedding photographer.
He captured the subtle, personal moments that made the day so special – all while being seemingly everywhere and nowhere at once. We had many friends and family members comment to us about how wonderful he was on the day. We even had vendors tell us his work is the best they’ve seen. We couldn’t recommend him enough.
Adam & Allison
We were able to just celebrate the day without worrying.
Linus worked so hard to get the pictures we wanted to document our celebration. On the day, Linus was everywhere but nowhere – it was proper fly on the wall stuff! We have ended up with a collection of photos that really tell the story of our day and will help us to remember it for years to come.
Nick & Heather
Once we spoke to him on the phone we knew he was the right person for our wedding!
We chose Linus to capture our Indian Wedding in Cornwall. We could see from his website that he had done Indian weddings before and so had experience in the different ceremonies and nuances of an Indian Wedding. He was calm, and clear about his style and that was exactly what we wanted! His documentary style photography really captures how your wedding looked and felt. We could not have been happier with the photos he took of our wedding! Nothing was too big an ask and we’re so happy we chose Linus.
Sam & Anuja
We are so happy to have a set of photos which will enable us to relive the day so vividly for the rest of our lives.
Linus’s style is so natural and candid that these pictures won’t date or age – no uncomfortable posing and no unnatural filters over anything, they’re just timeless and all of our guests have been blown away by them – many being bought to tears by them. Looking through the full set we got to see so much of the day that both of us had missed, it’s like he was everywhere at all times and yet he was never intrusive. I have no idea how he managed this…it was a big house and somehow he didn’t miss a thing!
Chad & Melanie
Our wedding photos are absolutely beautiful and we could not ask for them to be anymore perfect.
Linus is an incredible photographer. From day one of planning our Wedding he was engaged with our plans and we had a great meeting telling him all of our ideas right at the very beginning. On the Wedding Day Linus was calm, professional and a great presence to have around. Me and my Husband are not the best in front of the camera, but Linus didn’t make us stand and pose all day, he really captured the natural emotion of the day. Just like it says ‘Subtle, Emotive and Raw’. We can’t thank you enough Linus.

Golden hour, wild heathland, and the cutest Cavapoo sidekick — Charlotte & Ethan’s New Forest engagement shoot had all the right ingredients.
Their connection? Effortless. The light? Glorious. The moments? Real.
Throw in a surprise foal encounter and it was pure photo magic.
If you`re dreaming of your own shoot in the New Forest (or just want to bring your dog along!), this is your sign. 🌟

Trends fade. Moments don’t.
It’s easy to get swept up in the look of wedding photography — but the feel is what lasts. The quiet glance. The squeeze of a hand. The emotion that lingers long after the cake’s been cut.
We just dropped a blog that dives deep into the difference between style and substance — and why both matter.
✨ If you want wedding photos that look beautiful and feel like you, this one’s for you.

A simple ceremony and a beautiful image. Vaishi & Jason`s wedding at the Tudor House in Southampton a few weeks back.
The joy on Vaishi`s parents faces says it all!

They’re the storytellers, the baby-whisperers, the ones who’ve loved us the longest.
Including grandparents in your family shoot isn’t just beautiful—it’s meaningful.
We recently shared our thoughts on why these moments matter (and how to make them effortless) in a new post that’s all heart, no pressure.

Perfectly timed, completely unposed — and an absolute favourite of ours.
The best man lands a killer punchline. The bride, groom, maid of honour and best man? All mid-laugh, eyes wide, caught in that rare shared moment of total joy.
You don’t always get the whole top table aligned like this. But when it happens — and everyone’s dialled in — it’s storytelling gold.

“All-day coverage” — sounds like a dream, right?
But too often, it means 8 hours and done. Or “until the first dance”... if you`re lucky.
We do things differently.
At Smiling Tiger Studios, we tell the whole story — from final prep to the dance floor chaos, and all the emotion in between.
No clocks. No cut-offs. Just honest, story-led coverage that flows with your day.
