Firstly, thanks for visiting my website. My name's Ricardo Di Donato or Ricci to anyone that knows me. I created Chapter, to establish a unique and exciting Wedding Cinematography brand, which I think is very much missing in the market place. Many video companies bamboozle clients with irrelevant details about their flashy cameras and force out of the box packages on to them, that don't offer the coverage they really want.

My approach is entirely different. As my client, I take the time to explain to you what I do and how I go about it, so that you understand the real value of the service I give. I encourage questions and communication, to ensure I can deliver to your expectations. I tailor a package entirely to your requirements.

All the work on this website, including the design itself, is my own, so you can be confident when you book your Wedding video with Chapter, I will be fully engaged all the way. If you choose to have more than one cameraman, you can have faith that the additional cameramen will be professionals, who are trained and talented to my own personal exacting standards. I would also invite you to read testimonials from couples I've worked with the in past.

When it comes to producing your wedding film, I don't believe in gimmicky imitation blockbuster effects or cheesy setup shots. Wherever possible if you have a particular style of photography in mind, I will try my best to reflect that in the cinematography. I love to produce stylish and elegant video that relies on simple techniques, to ensure I always produce a beautiful film. 

I work unobtrusively, without stepping on your guests or your photographers toes. Having worked with a number of Photographers over the years, I know that the key for us both to get the best shots, is to communicate openly and agree before hand whose going to be where, as a result we always work well together. It is my aim to put you at ease. I avoid crowding you with cameras and work silently in the background, you'll feel as if I wasn't there at all.

Take a look my article on getting the best wedding video to read more about what qualities I value most in Wedding Videography. 

My background has always been in video, I studied Broadcasting at Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication and have been producing videos ever since. As part of Dido Green I produce a number of Corporate and event videos. Most recently an incredible 100 plus supercar run from Hyde Park London to an event at Wilton House hosted by the Earl of Pembroke himself, which was really good fun and raised over £15k for his favourie charity. It's well worth a watch if you get ten minutes spare!

Without a doubt, video is my passion. What I love most about Wedding cinematography, that you don't get anywhere else, is being able to capture the real human emotion and energy that unfolds and escapes from people. There are so many beautiful moments full of anticipation, excitement, joy, elation and relief as family and friends come together in celebration of one couple. It's an honour to be able to produce wedding videos, which I know will be treasured for years to come.
