My most memorable wedding was at Rushpool Hall in Yorkshire. The venue was absolutely gorgeous, and the Groom's father created a mini-golf course himself for the guests!

At a wedding at The Mount Without in Bristol, the guests had a wooden peg with a cut-out of either the Groom's face, or the Bride's face to show who they're connected to. How lovely, and a great conversation starter!

My process with couples is simple and easy - consultation video calls, getting to know each other and getting the vision for the film aligned, before capturing absolutely everything humanely possible on the day. Then, it's straight into post production, where the couple are sent updates to let them know how the edit is going, and roughly when final films will be with them for.

That absolutely has to to be when the Bride and her bridesmaid after the first dance suddenly stormed the dance floor and broke out into a choreographed 5 minute dance to a medley of Disney hits. It was rather show-stopping!

Free Solo (about Alex Honnold climbing up El Cap in Yosemite with no ropes - yikes!). Any excuse to travel to make films, and document a moment in history is a win with me. What a feeling that must've been to be on the crew!

My philosophy with music in wedding videos is having both 'light and shade'. I feel the best wedding videos should be able to make you laugh, and make you cry within minutes of each other. It should capture the emotion of the day, which is re-experienced as soon as you hit play. So I'm quite a fan of mixing up different tracks and sounds - having one song that's more introspective and slow, played in a minor key, followed by an upbeat, leg moving pop song in a major key. It's what gives you all the feels!

I got into filmmaking in my mid-teens, making videos with friends, before taking things slightly more serious after being selected to be in the BFI's Film Academy in Documentary Filmmaking. Since then, my career has been videography and filmmaking, and I've loved every moment of it. Whether it's been working with Aardman, directing Xmas ads, or filming a book launch, I truly enjoy filmmaking, and having a project that I can see through from start to finish.
