What is your most memorable wedding?
I really enjoy all weddings I film, big budget or small, but it has to be Belvoir Castle in 2015 purely because the couple were so normal & down to earth!
They had decided to go all out with their big day to give them & their friends & family a truly unforgettable time, it was spectacular.
The Bride even hired a surprise Helicopter trip to take her new Husband away for an hour after the ceremony.
It was a magical day in a huge castle. They even had an ice sculpture, fireworks to finish & a London bus to take everyone home.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Relaxed, Fun, Natural, Timeless & Unique
What about your business are you most proud of?
Being trusted by over 300 couples to capture precious memories of their wedding day!
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Don't forget to budget for a Videographer! It's a huge regret of newlyweds once their day is over if they can't watch their day back.
Hearing your vows & speeches again, seeing loved ones enjoying themselves, it can't be captured in Photos alone.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
A favour of the Brides Fathers favourite brandy for everyone to remember him by after the speeches.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I like to keep things simple, and I also like things written down, so email is my preferred choice of communication.
That way we have a record of everything we have discussed.
I'll ask you a few questions about your plans, what sort of film you are looking for and we'll go from there to see which options are best for you.
What is the most exciting thing you have caught on camera?
Apart from the Helicopter mentioned above, a wedding planner trying to retrieve a Bride's veil that blew away into a lake at Delbury Hall.
She tried to reach it with a big stick and ended up falling straight in!
She was very glad I caught it on film, she's used it many times since on her social media channels to prove she goes above & beyond for her clients :-)
What is the one film you wish you had directed and why?
Kevin & Perry because I absolutely LOVE Ibiza!
What is your favourite soundtrack to put to a wedding video?
Slower songs tend to work best for weddings, but I do like an upbeat track for the party section of the film.
Describe how you got into videography.
I've always had a camera but originally started in commercial photography & videography when a friend asked me to film their wedding in 2013.
It was so much fun, weddings are full of laughter and emotion and I was instantly hooked.
I filmed a few more weddings for friends who hadn't even thought about having a video, and they loved it so much that I knew I had to start learning how to do it professionally. I've not looked back since & Weddings completely took over which is perfect for me as I love filming them!
