What is your most memorable wedding?
Jennie & Tom's wedding at Oxnead Hall in Norfolk stands out for me- such a beautiful venue, Jennie & Tom were so much fun to work with & the crowd they invited to the wedding- wow! So many laughs, so many awesome dance moves & some really lovely moments between the happy couple in the grounds made this a perfect wedding to film!
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Authentic, Emotional, Story-Driven, Cinematic, Hollywood
What about your business are you most proud of?
How quickly I was accepted into the industry & how many bookings I took after only a few weddings. Becoming a videographer was a complete career change for me & a scary one starting off with literally nothing, but to see that hard work paying off has been really satisfying.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Have fun! You only get to do this once & you should enjoy it- don't stress yourselves with the decision making. Everyone just wants to come & celebrate with you!
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
Theres so many to choose from & each wedding has their own personal touches. I think my favourite would have to be Katie & Sam's wedding at Bilsington Priory where Katie's Dad turned up in a bright yellow corvette!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I keep things very relaxed & do my best to get to know each of my couples. By knowing how they became an item, got engaged & knowing a little about their lives it helps me make their wedding film really unique to them.
What is the most exciting thing you have caught on camera?
Any moment where I've got the happy couple laughing on their wedding day! Confetti shots are a personal favourite of mine, there's always so many smiles!
What is the one film you wish you had directed and why?
I think it would have to be Saving Private Ryan- the cinematography & effects in that movie were world leading & extremely clever.
What is your favourite soundtrack to put to a wedding video?
I love a slow build to a song so I can overlay some speeches or vows, which helps to make a wedding film truly unique to that couple.
Describe how you got into videography.
I always had an interest in cameras, but it wasn't until my honeymoon I took it more seriously. I took a GoPro & made a film of our honeymoon which was our thank you cards to everyone (as we asked for contributions to our honeymoon as a wedding present) & it sparked everything off!
