What is your most memorable wedding?
I once filmed a Danish wedding, which involved the groom being lifted in the air and having the ends of his socks cut off by the best men. Now, that one will be hard to forget.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Natural, elegant, fun, unique and cinematic.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
With most couples that I talk to we usually get in contact through email first and then I offer a free phone consultation to go over the details of their day as well as what services I can offer. On the day I will arrive at the agreed time to start shooting. We will have discussed whether you want footage of the bridal preparation and the groom with his best men/friends, so I will either start with that or begin filming the location, venue, decorations and anything else that is of interest. Before the ceremony, I will film any family and guests that are around if they feel like being on camera, since it can be nice to catch these moments which you may miss whilst getting ready. Once the bride and groom are ready, the focus will shift to the bride as she is escorted all the way to the end of the aisle. Of course, the reaction of the groom has to be caught as she gets closer. I will film the vows, exchange of rings, testimonials and first kiss from different angles, creating a cinematically-complete sequence that makes you feel like you are there. Of course, I will have to get some shots of your weeping parents, as well as the expressions of different people in the audience. I will then film you as you walk back down the aisle, with the confetti afterwards. I will film a lot of natural moments throughout the day after this, capturing interactions between people as they have fun and chat. For the speeches, I will place a couple of audio recorders close to wherever the speaker is in order to get high quality audio. I will try to get the most complete film of this part, as the speaker talks whilst occasionally pointing to someone as they reminisce about a story they were apart of. For most films I stay through the dances, getting a collection of energetic, hilarious and unique moments as everyone lets loose! After saying goodbye, I will have your films ready within a month of the wedding, with the virtual copies being sent first and the physical copies following shortly after. I will make any changes that I can to your film, whether you happen to want a shot taken out or if you want to use a different soundtrack. The most important thing is that you are happy with everything that I can provide!
