Message from the team
Experience
What is your most memorable wedding?
I think for sentimental reasons, the wedding I just filmed with Kim & Luke has to be mentioned. In between trying to fit their special day in around the pandemic Luke, unfortunately, lost his mum. I'll never forget the day and Luke's speech.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Modern, Documentary, Emotive, Experienced, Calming.
What about your business are you most proud of?
Finishing runner-up in the International Shorty Awards is up there, but before that has to be the reviews about the experience couples have had to work with me, that's always so important. I am here to serve but creating friendships along the way is amazing.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Make sure you schedule in 5 mins for yourselves away from everyone to just chill and think about the day and the weight of the moment. Don't let such an incredible day pass you by.
Do you have a time limit on the day?
Never. I'm with you from preparations through to the first dance however long that takes. No clock watching, no early finishes.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I listen, I learn, we talk, we go over ideas, options, and how I can make a bespoke video just for them. On the day I'm there to film but also there to be a calming influence, to help and to tell their story, capturing the moments they might miss or even forget.
What is the most exciting thing you have caught on camera?
Being on stage at Wembley Arena in front of 80,000 people isn't too bad :) At a wedding, I think flying my drone in cool locations, so much fun!
How do you approach music for a wedding film?
Music is one of the most important decisions in the edit — get it wrong and the film falls flat, get it right and it's the thing that makes you cry every time you watch it. I license everything through Musicbed so your films can be shared anywhere online without any copyright issues. I'll always choose music that fits the atmosphere and emotion of your specific day rather than using the same tracks repeatedly. If there's a song that means something to you both, tell me about it — I might not always be able to use it directly but it tells me a lot about your taste and helps me find something that feels right for you.
What is your favourite soundtrack to put to a wedding video?
Whatever fits the edit. Every wedding has its own atmosphere and I match the music carefully to that — the emotion of the speeches, the energy of the dancing, the quieter moments in between. I license everything through Musicbed so your films can be shared anywhere without copyright issues. If there's a song that means something to you both, tell me — I'd love to know.
Describe how you got into videography.
I worked in photography before (and still do, just not as much) and wanted to learn something new. That was about 15 years ago. I'm pleased I did!
