Experience
What is your most memorable wedding?
My most memorable wedding was Lauren and Chris' gorgeous wedding at East Afton Farmhouse, November 2024. We weren't lucky with the weather all day, but then as the sun set, the most incredible sunset blasted through the clouds. Such an unforgettable and magical experience.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
My style is candid, relaxed, fun, dependable and creative.
What about your business are you most proud of?
I'm most proud of the relationships that I build with couples, I am an honest hard working person and this comes across in the images/films I deliver. I work closely with each couple to understand their vision and capture the essence of their relationship. It's an honour to be trusted with such an important job, and I'm proud of the work that I do to create lasting memories! I love this job and how much it's grown since I founded it!
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Take a breather! Wedding planning is very stressful, don't let it come between you and course any angst. It's a big job planning a wedding, so be organised and take it one step at a time! I am always happy to help if you have any questions wedding related too, being recently married myself!
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
Tough questions, as there's such a great variety at every wedding I have shot. I must say that one of my favourites was at Richard and Rain's wedding, and the rings had Lord of the Rings style engraving on them... I fully nerded out even before I heard the lovely cute story behind it!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
The first step is to get in touch with me and I can confirm your date! We can then have an initial call to talk things through and get you booked into my diary. Following that, I usually recommend a pre-wedding shoot, as it's a great chance to get comfortable in front of the camera... and get to know me! I will reach out a few weeks in advance of the wedding for the finer, final details. Then it's the big day! I will arrive before my paid time, to set up and be ready and then I am in full work mode! I aim to have a sneak peek of photos sent within 48 hours and the full album in 6-8 weeks as a my target.
What is the most exciting thing you have caught on camera?
I love the first look, whether it's in the ceremony or before. It's such a lovely moment where the couple sees each other for the first time on their wedding day; and my camera LOVES tears!
What is the one film you wish you had directed and why?
The groom party all wanted a bottoms out 'mooning' clip.... surprisingly this hasn't made it to my instagram or wedding site...
What is your favourite soundtrack to put to a wedding video?
Spring 1 - Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi, The Four Seasons
Describe how you got into videography.
I've always had a passion for filmmaking, but it wasn't until I was gifted a camera for my 17th birthday that I started taking it seriously. I began taking videos of friends and family, and eventually started shooting small events. As I continued to hone my craft, I realised that weddings were my true calling. I love being able to capture the love and connection between two people on one of the most important days of their lives!
