My approach to cinematography

As a wedding cinematographer, there are two things that are really important in my wedding films: it’s all about you and your story. “Your wedding story, told.” That’s what I stand for.

My approach on the day is very relaxed. I never want to get in the way of a moment, or ask anyone to pose. For this reason, I never script or direct anything at your wedding. I let the story unfold and I feel strongly that the most candid, genuine moments need to happen in front of my lens.

The story-telling part happens following your wedding, when I watch all the footage again to immerse myself back into your special day. I listen to all the speeches – every word. And I start to structure your film based on the love that surrounded you on the wedding day.

I am an award-winning UK and Destination wedding videographer, and across all weddings, my ethos is about the memories I create for my couples and their family on their wedding day. I shoot continuously throughout the wedding day in a documentary style, so I have a full-day coverage to create the final edit. With each of my weddings, I need to get to know you, both as people, and as a couple. Your wedding film needs to feel like it’s yours, so I craft a beautiful visual story that speaks to you as a couple.

I love making wedding films. And I love the idea that I'm creating something unique that's going to last a lifetime. Something that my couples will be able to share with their own family one day. How privileged are we to share the best day you'll ever experience?

I think that what defines us as wedding filmmaker is the emotion we can capture and the emotions we generate for our couples when they watch their wedding films. That's a lifetime of memories captured. Forever.  And that is what makes my films so special.
