Happy to work with me

I worked with James on a wedding. I was the photographer and he was the videographer. He was really easy to get along with and despite us never meeting before it was really easy for us both to shoot and bounce ideas off eachother. I loved his shooting style and editing and now recommend him to my couples

Happy Bride once again!

James was great fun at our wedding! He was professional and put everyone at ease immediately with his humour and easy going nature. Throughout the day, we barely noticed that we were being filmed, and the end result was cinematic and beautiful! I felt that James really captured the look and feel that we wanted to achieve for our video, and the end result was truly a piece of art! Thank you :))

What is your most memorable wedding?

Favouritism isn't my style! Each wedding has been a blast and there have been hundreds! From Owls flying rings down the aisle to axe throwing to unplugged weddings with sing alongs during ceremonies to UK church weddings to venues to the canals of Venice to the sands in Paphos Cyprus. All weddings have been a blast!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Cinematic: I aim to capture and present moments in a way that reflects the storytelling and visual aesthetics of a cinematic experience. Emotional: My focus is on capturing the genuine emotions of the day, creating videos that resonate with the deep and heartfelt moments shared by the couple and their loved ones. Timeless: I strive to produce videos that stand the test of time, avoiding trendy effects in favor of a classic and enduring style that will be just as meaningful years down the line. Authentic: I believe in portraying the true essence of each couple's love story, avoiding overly staged scenes and capturing the authentic, spontaneous moments that make each wedding unique. Detail-Oriented: Every detail, from the subtle expressions to the ambient surroundings, is important. I pay close attention to the details to ensure a comprehensive and visually stunning representation of the wedding day.

What about your business are you most proud of?

As an award-winning wedding videographer, what I am most proud of in my business is the ability to consistently deliver exceptional storytelling and cinematic experiences for each couple. Winning awards has not only validated the hard work and dedication I put into my craft but has also affirmed that my creative vision aligns with industry standards of excellence. I take pride in the positive feedback from couples who have entrusted me with capturing their special moments. Knowing that my work has contributed to their lasting memories and that they cherish the videos for a lifetime is incredibly rewarding. Furthermore, I am proud of the collaborative relationships I've built with clients. Understanding their unique love stories and translating those narratives into visually captivating films is not just a job for me; it's a passion. Being able to connect with couples on a personal level and create films that truly reflect their personalities and the essence of their wedding day is an aspect of my business that brings me immense joy and satisfaction. Ultimately, my pride lies in the combination of artistic achievement, client satisfaction, and the meaningful impact my work has on preserving the precious moments of one of the most important days in a couple's life.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

My No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples is to prioritise moments over perfection. While it's natural to want everything to go smoothly and look picture-perfect on your wedding day, the true beauty lies in the authentic, unscripted moments that unfold. Don't get too caught up in the quest for perfection; instead, focus on embracing the genuine emotions, laughter, and love that will naturally occur. These are the moments that make your wedding day uniquely yours and create the most memorable experiences. Allow yourself to be present in the moment and enjoy the celebration with your loved ones. Your wedding day is a reflection of your love story, and the more you can relax and savor the real, unplanned moments, the more meaningful and enjoyable your wedding day will be. And remember, these are the moments that your wedding videographer will skilfully capture, creating a timeless and cherished memory for years to come.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

As a wedding videographer, I've had the privilege of witnessing many beautiful and unique personal touches at weddings. One of my favorite personal touches was when a couple incorporated a "timeline of their love story" into the wedding decor. They displayed a timeline that showcased significant milestones in their relationship, such as the day they met, their first date, the proposal, and other special moments. Each point on the timeline was accompanied by photos and short anecdotes, creating a visual narrative of their journey together. This not only added a personalized and sentimental touch to the wedding but also allowed guests to connect with the couple's love story on a deeper level. As a videographer, I found that it provided rich material for storytelling, allowing me to incorporate these moments into the wedding film seamlessly. Personal touches like these not only make the wedding more memorable but also create a more intimate and engaging experience for everyone involved. It's a wonderful way for couples to share their unique journey and create lasting memories for themselves and their guests.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

From enquiry to phone call, I will talk you through my packages and pricing, send over all the details so you have it in writing, from there if you wish to book in I fire an invoice across, this secures the date and the final balance isn't due until 14 days before the wedding date.

What is the most exciting thing you have caught on camera?

The most exciting thing I've ever caught on camera was an unexpected and incredibly heartfelt surprise during a wedding ceremony. The groom, without the bride's knowledge, had prepared a heartfelt video message that he recorded and edited himself. He played this video during the ceremony, expressing his love, gratitude, and excitement for their journey together. The surprise video not only moved the bride to tears but also had a profound impact on everyone present. The raw emotion and genuine connection captured in that moment were truly special. As a videographer, being able to document such a sincere and unplanned expression of love added an extra layer of authenticity to the wedding film. It's these unexpected, emotionally charged moments that make capturing weddings so rewarding. They allow me to create films that not only showcase the beauty of the day but also convey the genuine emotions and connections that make each wedding unique and memorable.

What is the one film you wish you had directed and why?

Love Actually - So I could stop Harry from breaking Karen's heart!

What is your favourite soundtrack to put to a wedding video?

Bloom in the dark by Amore

Describe how you got into videography.

My journey into videography has been a fascinating and unexpected adventure that began during my time working on cruise ships. While immersed in marketing and branding for TUI, I shared an office with my lifelong friend, Ryan, whom I had coincidentally worked with previously at the Prince Edward Theatre in London's West End. Ryan and I became best buddies, embarking on a global odyssey that took us to over 120 countries. Our shared passion for filming our adventures and editing the footage for fun was a creative outlet that defined our time together. Upon returning to the UK during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic, I found myself exploring ways to leverage my camera skills for a livelihood. The possibilities were vast, ranging from real estate videography to music videos โ€“ a realm where I had the privilege of working with names like Ed Sheeran, Big Narstie, and more. In contemplating my next move, I recognized that wedding videography offered a unique blend of business sustainability and an incredibly positive environment. Weddings, with their inherent demand for videography services, became an appealing prospect. Beyond the business aspect, I was drawn to the infectious joy and love that permeate the atmosphere of a wedding day. It reminded me of the positivity and energy I experienced during my entertainment career on cruise ships. Choosing to immerse myself in the world of wedding videography was more than a business decision; it was a conscious choice to surround myself with the uplifting energy and love that define these special moments in people's lives. It's a privilege to capture and contribute to the beautiful memories that unfold during such celebratory occasions.
