At the heart of it all is Media Sussex, our core web and digital design studio. Alongside it sits YourStory Video, offering cinematic wedding films with a relaxed, documentary style, and two playful online tools: the Wedding Hashtag Generator and Hashtag Counter—helping couples find the perfect hashtag and track it too. Together, they form a simple but powerful group, designed to serve people well.

About HeartCo

About Stephen

I’m Stephen Holdstock — director of Media Sussex Ltd, and the creative force behind YourStory Video, Wedding Hashtag Generator, and Hashtag Counter. I’ve always been passionate about using media to tell stories and make ideas shine, whether that’s through building websites, filming emotional wedding days, or crafting playful digital tools for modern couples. A few years back, I also founded and later sold Build Me Mini, born from my long-standing love for LEGO minifigures and collectibles — a little business that proved the power of turning a niche passion into something people genuinely love.

Outside of work, I’m a dad of two, a filmmaker at heart, and someone who values stories — both the ones we live and the ones we tell. I’m probably most myself when I’ve got a camera in hand, a creative project on the go, or time set aside for thoughtful conversations and quiet reflection. Whether it’s a wedding film, a website, or a brand idea, I’m always aiming to bring a mix of heart, humour, and integrity to the work I do.
