My most memorable wedding is a wedding a shot at Sopley Mill, it was a December wedding so it was very Christmassy. Along with being very intimate it really was special and an absolute pleasure to be a part of.
Cinematic, timeless, memorable, treasured
I’m most proud of how quick my business has picked up, I have won two awards in the industry already and it’s all just happened so fast. I am super grateful for each and every person who has hired me to date.
GET IN EARLY!! I have so many enquires asking if I can film or photograph a wedding in a couple of months, but I am usually already booked. So I would really encourage to get booked in asap, not just with me but with all of your suppliers. There is such a backlog in weddings currently due to all of the cancellations during covid, you really don't want to be disappointed by missing out on your favourite supplier :)
An acoustic artist playing a personally written song to the bride, it was epic!
I have my full booking process in the highlight section of my instagram page where I explain everything from start to finish.
ANYTHING STRINGS!! Honestly you cannot beat an emotional and romantic piece of string music over your wedding film. It really does evoke raw emotion whilst watching your day back.
Im actually a roofer full time (at the time of writing this) and I have been for 15yrs, there is a roofers saying "once a roofer always a roofer" but not for me, the bad back that comes with the job had me itching to find something new to do, and I have always watched short films online and always had a bug to give it a go. So I used the time I had off during lock down to really knuckle down and learn the craft. Thankfully I took to it really well and its the best decision I ever made!
