Event Videography & Photography

Event Videography & Photography in Manchester

Your event is over in a few hours. The footage and photos can keep working for you for years. We capture the atmosphere, the key moments and the people, then turn them into highlight films, social clips and photo galleries you can share straight away.

Forshaw Media is an award-winning video production company based in Manchester city centre. We film events across Greater Manchester, Liverpool, Cheshire and the wider UK, for businesses, charities, venues and organisers.

Events we film and photograph

Festivals and live events. Multiple stages, changing light and a lot happening at once. We covered the Let’s Do Lights Festival at Burr’s Country Park, working through the evening to capture the acts, the atmosphere and the crowd.

Product launches and brand events. Highlight films and social content that make your launch look as good as it felt in the room.

Charity and community events. Fundraisers, galas and awareness days, filmed sensitively and affordably. A charity client told us we were professional and very competitive on price.

Awards evenings and dinners. Winners, speeches and reactions, with photos delivered quickly for press and social.

Private and family events. Celebrations and milestones. One client said we captured a special family event beautifully, and that the team were friendly and excellent to deal with.

Exhibitions, networking and open days. Short, shareable content to promote the next one, such as a one-minute recap or a set of branded photos.

Conferences and multi-day shows. These need more planning, so they have their own page: see conference filming. For performances, see concert and theatre filming.

What you get

Highlight film. A fast, energetic recap, usually 1 to 3 minutes long, for your website, YouTube or sponsors.

Social clips. Vertical and square cuts for Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn, with captions. Quick-turnaround next-day clips are available if requested prior to the booking.

Event photography. Edited photos of speakers, guests, branding and details. We can combine photography and video in one booking, so you deal with one team and one invoice. See photography.

Optional extras. Drone footage for outdoor and venue shots, live streaming for remote audiences, interviews with attendees, and full recordings of key sessions.

How an event shoot works

1. Brief. We talk through your event, schedule and venue, and what you need the content for: promotion, sponsors, social media or an archive.

2. Planning. We check the running order, lighting and access, then agree who we need to capture (speakers, VIPs, sponsors) and the shots you want. We can also visit the venue beforehand. A recce may also be scheduled if required.

3. On the day. One videographer or a multi-camera crew, depending on scale, with professional audio and lighting kit. We work unobtrusively so your guests carry on enjoying the event.

4. Editing and delivery. We edit a highlight film and social cuts and share a draft for your feedback. Final files come in all the formats you need.

How much does event videography cost in Manchester?

Prices depend on the length of the event, how many crew and cameras you need, and how much editing is involved. We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote after a short conversation, with no hidden extras.
