Experience
What is your most memorable wedding?
This is a difficult one! As I've filmed so many weddings now - over 300! I honestly don't think I could choose they are all so memorable in their own unique way! Every wedding is different - which I love!
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Natural, warm, unobtrusive, documentary, fun
What about your business are you most proud of?
I started my business at the age of 21!! I'm pretty proud of that and I've never looked back.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
It's never too soon to book your suppliers! This should be priority after booking your venue. This way you will have the best chance of securing suppliers you really want as part of your wedding day.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
I would say the most touching thing for me are memory tables which are devoted to family members or friends who have passed away. One moment in particular was a father of the bride had passed away recently and a chair was kept at the top table for the brides father, it was really emotional.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
It all begins with an enquiry (whether this is via email, phone, social media etc) ! Which I respond to detailing my package and answering any questions you may have! If you are keen to book in, this is followed by an email detailing info on how to confirm your booking, pay the deposit and also sign the contract.
Then around two months before your wedding day we have a pre wedding meeting! This gives us a chance to talk through any requirements you may have on your wedding day and complete the booking form.
Next stop is your wedding day! I am with you all day filming from two hours before your ceremony until around 20 minutes after your first dance :)
What is the most exciting thing you have caught on camera?
For me I love capturing the evening dance floor moments! I absolutely love seeing guests having fun and throwing some moves on the dance floor! This makes great video and it always so exciting to be a part of.
What is the one film you wish you had directed and why?
My favourite film has to be Notting Hill! I love a good rom-com, so why not dream I directed it!
What is your favourite soundtrack to put to a wedding video?
I love editing upbeat soundtracks to the evening parts of wedding films! I find it so much fun, so I think anything dancey and upbeat plus I get to have a little sing / dance along while editing haha!
Describe how you got into videography.
I am a Journalism graduate from the University of Sheffield, my videography career started on board a luxurious cruise liner. I filmed the weddings of many couples around the world. I have had the honour of shooting weddings in the Caribbean, many locations in the Mediterranean and since 2017 I have returned home to continue my trade! I have now filmed over 100 weddings :)
