My style as a UK and Destination wedding filmmaker
Crafting a story. Uniquely yours.
Your wedding film isn’t just a styled shoot; it’s a deeply personal narrative and I take pride in crafting a story that reflects who you are as a couple, filled with the intimate moments that make your wedding truly yours. While you are at the heart of your story, every detail—your loved ones, the setting, and the emotions—plays a vital role. Whether it’s a UK wedding or a destination celebration, your love takes centre stage.
I use a minimalist approach with my equipment, blending seamlessly into the day to let events unfold naturally. This unobtrusive style allows me to capture genuine, candid moments as they happen. A cinematic wedding film doesn’t require staging—it’s about combining an authentic shooting style, thoughtful composition, expert editing, and perfectly selected music to craft a story that’s true to you.
Cinema inspires everything I do, but on your wedding day, it’s never about me—it’s all about you. My goal is to document the moments that made you feel something, capturing the personal and intimate essence of your day.
A consistent style, tailored to your story
Your story is unique, but my approach is always guided by three principles:
Cinematic: I create artistic, visually stunning films without turning your day into a production. From sweeping moments to the smallest details, everything is carefully captured and edited to music, creating a seamless narrative that reflects the spirit of your wedding.
Emotive: My films are warm—not just in color but in emotion. I focus on authentic interactions, capturing the genuine connections that make your day unforgettable. Speeches serve as a personal voiceover, adding an intimate touch that ties your story together.
Timeless: I deliver modern wedding films that remain timeless. Whether you’re planning a luxury celebration, a chic city affair, or a wedding abroad, my style adapts to suit the uniqueness of your day. Your love story deserves to be told with care and artistry, resulting in a film that feels both epic and enduring

Cinematic
I’m a cinematic wedding videographer, so my films are inspired by cinema. This is reflected in the way I capture the footage on the day, as well as my editing style. But my main priority at your wedding is to let everything unfold before me, and let the framing do the work. I don’t chase the shot, I let things happen in front of my camera, as it’s the most natural way to convey the story. I use different techniques to deliver a cinematic experience, including drone footage or even sound design.
Emotive
If there’s one thing I love to convey in my films, it’s emotion. I want to pull on your heart strings, whether it’s conveying love, laughter, a party, or simply capture your imagination. As a story-teller, I want to grip you from within, which is why your speeches are at the heart of your film. Hearing the voices of your nearest and dearest create a unique connection between what you’re watching, and what you’re listening to.
Timeless
My wedding films are for the modern couples, but my style is accessible to anyone. I love what I do, because everything is bespoke. I want to create something unique, romantic and elegant, and it’ll always start with you. If you want someone to capture your day through an artistic, timeless lens, then I would absolutely love to hear from you.
Your wedding story, told.
Each wedding film I create is structured like a beautifully crafted short movie. Every film draws inspiration from the heartfelt speeches—whether it’s the tender relationship between a bride and her father, the unique bond with your bridesmaids, or the friendships you’ve cherished over the years. My style of wedding videography is all about creating something bespoke, something as unique as your once-in-a-lifetime day. This approach holds true whether you’re seeking an experienced UK wedding videographer or a Destination Wedding filmmaker.
The speeches become the driving narrative of your wedding film. The people who speak on your day matter deeply to you, and their words are profoundly personal. That’s why I use their voices to tell your story—bringing those magical moments to life in a way that feels truly authentic and meaningful.
I bring a relaxed, easy-going presence to every wedding I film. I’m always smiling, and my work reflects who I am: someone who loves connecting with people and capturing their unique stories, in an emotive way. For me, wedding videography is as much about the interactions and emotions of the day as it is about the big, cinematic moments.
My approach to filming is minimalist, shooting handheld 99% of the day. The only exceptions are during the speeches and the ceremony when stability is key. This flexibility allows me to capture moments as they happen—unscripted, real, and natural. It’s all about preserving the raw emotions and unforgettable memories of your day, exactly as they unfold.

Cinematic wedding videography
I’m a cinematic-wedding videographer. This means that the style of wedding films I deliver use a cinema-like structure. If you want someone to capture your big day in the most engaging, creative and emotional way, then you’ve come to right place.

What makes a good wedding film
To me, creating a wedding film requires three essential ingredients to craft a truly meaningful story. These elements are at the heart of every film I create:
The audio & sound design: When you watch your wedding film, I want you to feel like you’re stepping back into the day again. Every detail—the ambient sounds, the perfect soundtrack, your heartfelt vows, and the emotional wedding speeches—works together to tell your story. And who better to narrate that story than you? Spoken words carry the essence of your day, giving voice to the visuals.
The story: No two weddings are alike, and your wedding film should be as unique as you are. It’s not just a celebration—it’s a reflection of your journey as a couple and the love that brought everyone together. Storytelling is the soul of any wedding film, and I ensure it feels personal, inspiring, and filled with the warmth and authenticity of your special day.
The footage: Beautifully composed shots bring your story to life, capturing the unfiltered essence of your wedding day. Weddings are wonderfully unscripted, and that’s where the magic happens. Nothing is staged or directed—you simply live in the moment. My approach is to document it all creatively and organically, ensuring the footage feels engaging, authentic, and uniquely you.
