Hi, I’m Jonty, founder of Tolley Films. I am a UK-based camera operator and videographer producing cinematic content for brands, weddings, and high-profile events worldwide.
Backed by over a decade of experience in high-end TV drama, including years as a full-time camera operator on Hollyoaks after honing my craft on Emmerdale and Coronation Street, I bring broadcast-quality storytelling to every project.
My diverse portfolio ranges from filming a corporate event for global investment manager Nuveen and the Williams F1 team, to documenting an Amazon rainforest reforestation project for Mombak. Closer to home, I am regularly trusted to capture premium events and content, whether filming year-end celebrations for Pownall Hall School in Wilmslow, creating the homepage video for The Hook Club at Mottram Hall, or capturing luxury weddings at prestigious venues like Merrydale Manor. My commercial and social portfolio also includes producing a brand film for Flanagans Barbers on King Street, a premier high-end grooming institution in Manchester city centre, working alongside Ashley Taylor Dawson for a Hollyoaks cast event at Gravity MAX, and collaborating with Ryan Thomas on his event with The Padel School and Archie’s.
By personally handling both the filming and editing, I guarantee a seamless creative process, reliable turnaround times, and a high-quality final product.
