You should book Josh. He's awesome!
We booked Josh as the videographer for our wedding. You should too! If I could give him more stars, I would. There's lots more information explaining why below but, basically, he just nailed it. Book him! Do it now! The wedding videos Josh delivered were exactly what we'd asked for. We gave Josh a briefing; he delivered on it and added plenty of his own ideas, which ultimately produced a wedding video far more lovely than anything we imagined at the beginning of the process. He was also super open to feedback on the draft cuts of the video and turned round changes really quickly. Josh was incredibly communicative throughout planning and on the day. Communication was easy: we used whatsapp; zoom; and Josh was happy to come on a very early site visit and help us with questions about lighting and sound (it was a very DIY wedding). He even offered to lend us some of his lighting equipment! It was easy to talk in detail about the style of video we wanted because Josh used Miro boards to keep track of his thinking and to show us examples of other videos in various styles. Josh and Mara both did an amazing job on the day. Between them they captured so many special details that we would otherwise have forgotten. They were both friendly and relaxed and went down very well with our guests. We had some video taken when we went off to do the couple photos and Josh did a brilliant job of directing two reasonably camera-shy newlyweds.

What is your most memorable wedding?

A beautiful wedding took place in a cozy family home in Hertfordshire. Every guest wore traditional English clothes, and the ceremony was filled with joy and warmth. The friendliness was easy to see, and the careful planning showed in everything - from the couple's unique logo to fun games and touching speeches. The tasty food was another highlight. Indeed, Emily-Anne & Michal's wedding was one to remember!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

- Cinematic - Artistic - Polished - Memory-enriched - Timeless Storytelling

What about your business are you most proud of?

I am most proud of my commitment to fairness and unparalleled dedication to every project. Treating each video like a cinematic masterpiece, I ensure that from the initial consultation to the final touches, every detail is meticulously crafted. My unwavering effort and experienced approach ensure that the end product perfectly aligns with the desires of my clients, capturing their special day in the most profound way.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

My No.1 wedding planning tip for couples is: Prioritize clear communication. Whether it's between the two of you or with your vendors, ensuring that everyone is on the same page will make the planning process smoother and result in a day that truly reflects your shared vision. Remember, it's the little details and shared understanding that turn a good event into a memorable one.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

One of my favorite personal touches I've witnessed at a wedding was when a couple incorporated handwritten letters to each guest. Instead of traditional favors, they took the time to write a personal note to every individual, reminiscing on cherished memories and expressing gratitude for their presence in their lives. It was an incredibly heartfelt gesture that showcased the couple's deep connections with their loved ones, and it left many attendees, including myself, deeply moved.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

My typical process with a couple is as follows: 1. Consultation Session: We begin with a consultation to thoroughly discuss all the details of your wedding day, ensuring that we understand and align with your vision. 2. Booking & Confirmation: Once we've established a mutual understanding, you'll complete a booking form to finalize all specifics. This step also involves securing your wedding date to ensure our exclusive dedication to your special day. 3. Pre-Wedding Chat: About two weeks before your wedding, we'll reconnect for a final discussion to go over any last-minute details or changes. 4. The Big Day: Relax and experience your wedding day, knowing that we're capturing every cherished moment. 5. Quick Preview: To keep the excitement alive, you'll receive a sneak peek within 48 hours of your wedding. 6. Final Delivery: In just a week, all the finalized content will be delivered to you, perfectly capturing the essence of your celebration. 7. Voila!: Enjoy reliving the magic of your day through our meticulously crafted videos. :)

What is the most exciting thing you have caught on camera?

The most exciting moment I've captured on camera was when the younger girls took photos of all the Bridesmaids & Groomsmen. Witnessing this blend of the old with the young was genuinely heartwarming. Seeing the younger generation interact and engage with the wedding rituals in such a candid way was a beautiful sight and a testament to the timeless nature of love and celebration.

What is the one film you wish you had directed and why?

The one film I wish I had directed is "Babylon" by Damien Chazelle. The reason being, it effortlessly captures a spectrum of emotions, from anger and love to power, all woven together in a single narrative. Not only does the story resonate deeply, but its timeless cinematic visuals make it a masterpiece that stands out. The ability to encapsulate so many profound feelings in one movie, paired with its exceptional visual storytelling, is genuinely inspiring and something I would have loved to be a part of.

What is your favourite soundtrack to put to a wedding video?

Nocturne in Paris - Tony Anderson

Describe how you got into videography.

I've always been immersed in the world of storytelling through film. As a child, the seeds of my passion for videography were sown when my brother and I would create our own little films, turning our ideas and imaginations into visual tales. This childhood hobby eventually morphed into a deeper pursuit as I started producing short films. The recognition and accolades some of these films received, including awards, were testament to my growing expertise in the craft. Later on, I ventured into the commercial industry and had the privilege to work on some of the UK's top commercials, honing my skills even further. However, despite the glitz of commercials, I felt a pull towards something more personal and impactful. This led me to wedding production. To me, wedding videography isn't just about capturing a day; it's about encapsulating lifetimes of dreams, love, and cherished moments. The significance these videos hold for the couples and their loved ones gives it a profound importance, making it a deeply rewarding endeavor. It's this emotional resonance that now drives my career in wedding production.
