The future's in focus for Jake as he launches his own media company in Pembrokeshire
A former Pembrokeshire College media student is now the proud owner of his own creative business.
Jake Aldred has been capturing important moments from weddings and sporting and musical events since successfully launching Jake Aldred Media.
Jake's vision was not to progress to university after college, but to work as a freelance, and it was thanks to his tutor that he was able to realise this ambition.
"I'm incredibly excited to take this next step and build something of my own," he said.
"I studied Creative Media Production Level 3 at Pembrokeshire College - the course really helped me develop a lot of my basic skills for being a videographer and photographer and I started to do some social media work for local businesses and then this allowed me to progress in capturing my first wedding while studying.
'A big help was from my tutor Denys, who understood I did not want to go onto university and instead knew I wanted to become a freelancer and build connections.
'Denys also helped me connect with the right people in the college, such the Enterprise Team where they put me in contact with the local council and helped me secure some funding for my business.'

Jake's particular focus is on the wedding industry, but his portfolio has extended way beyond that, thanks to his coverage of events such as Ironman competitions, the Pembrokeshire County Show, SaundersFest, and high-profile promotional material with the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust, the Cardiff Dragons Women's Netball Team and S4C.
He also provides videography and photography services for live music events.
