The most memorable weddings are the ones where the couples dynamic is so strong that it wouldn’t matter if they were stood in front of a garden shed getting married
Simplistic, minimalist, elegant, timeless, beautiful
I feel as though I leave every wedding with a new set of friends.
Don’t over produce the day with a tight schedule. The more time you leave to simply enjoy yourselves the more you’ll simply enjoy yourselves

I meet most couples at my office in Hinckley. Initially I really don’t need much more than a few basic details in order to provide a quote and then once booking is secured. I collect more details about the logistics during the build up to the big day
There’s a shot of me sprinting toward my camera as an energetic 3 year old was about to pull it onto himself
The Postman starring Kevin Costner, great story... filmed badly!
I use a licenced instrumental to create a score similar to an actual feature film. That way the film is timeless and not dated by current songs.
I’ve had a video camera since I was 13 and have always made home videos with relatives. I studied media in college but it wasn’t until I filmed a wedding for a family friend that I realised just how much emotion could be captured with little to no direction. Very few forms of video allow you to be as creative in the edit suite as a wedding does.
