Behind the cameras

Joe & Jade.
Pocket Jacks Films.

We’re Joe and Jade: married, based in Lincolnshire, and happiest filming a wedding where everyone can be themselves. Expect an easy-going pair, a little humour and a laid-back approach.

The two of us

Get to know the people
filming your wedding.

We like getting to know people through an easy conversation. There is room for a laugh, and no need to have everything worked out before you speak to us. We take time to understand the plans, the people involved and anything that might make the day easier. By the time the wedding arrives, you know who will be turning up and how we work.

On the day, our manner stays laid-back while we keep an eye on what is happening around you. Having two filmmakers gives each part of the story room without asking you to repeat moments or spend long periods away from your guests.

Joe · Filmmaker & editor

Behind the camera and in the edit.

Joe films throughout the day and shapes the principal edit afterwards, bringing together picture, recorded sound and music into a film with its own pace and structure. As a drummer and musician, he pays particular attention to rhythm, the timing of an edit and how words and music work together.

Jade · Filmmaker & client care

Alongside you from the beginning.

Jade helps couples feel at ease before and during the wedding. Her approach is relaxed and friendly, with the same easy-going humour we bring as a pair. While filming, she pays attention to the people, reactions and simultaneous moments that help tell the whole story.

The story behind the name

Why Pocket Jacks?

We both like poker, and we’re Joe and Jade: two Js. In Texas hold’em, pocket jacks are the two jacks in your hand. It was a playful name from the beginning, and it stuck.

It’s an unusual name for wedding filmmakers. We like that. We’ve been filming weddings since 2016 and married ourselves in 2018. We take care with the films and enjoy the laughter, surprises and people who make each wedding its own.

How we work

We blend into the day and pay attention to its people, voices and atmosphere. The finished film brings those moments together so you can return to the wedding as it actually happened.
