Who am I?

HeartCo is the creative home of Stephen Holdstock — a designer, storyteller, and entrepreneur with a passion for helping others communicate with clarity and purpose. From wedding films to web design, HeartCo exists to bring ideas to life through beautiful, functional media.

Stephen runs multiple businesses under the HeartCo banner: YourStory Video for cinematic wedding videography, Media Sussex for websites and branding, and other niche projects like the Wedding Hashtag Generator. Each business is born out of a genuine desire to make high-quality creative services more personal, affordable, and impactful.

Behind it all is Stephen himself — a father, filmmaker, and quietly determined creative who believes in the power of good storytelling. Whether it’s capturing the emotion of a wedding day, building a brand that reflects someone’s passion, or crafting tools that make life easier, his work is rooted in empathy and purpose. Stephen’s style is down-to-earth, collaborative, and always people-first.

Outside of work, you’ll find him chasing sunshine with his daughters, walking Rocket (the world’s most enthusiastic dog), or getting lost in a podcast with a notebook in hand. He’s no stranger to life’s ups and downs — and that’s shaped a grounded, honest approach to business and creativity alike. At the heart of it all is a simple belief: that great stories, well told, can make a real difference.
