What is your most memorable wedding?
Probably Andrew and Julia's wedding at Hedsor House. An incredibly well planned wedding, and the film somehow made the second place listing for a search of 2022 wedding film on Youtube.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Relaxed, dreamy, natural, modern, cinematic
What about your business are you most proud of?
Everyone seems to tell me they cried tears of joy on watching their films. The feedback is great and makes the long hours of editing worth it!
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Remember, the bride is always right! If she is running late, she is not late, everyone else is early. It's your day so practise the art of not giving a f*ck and have a great time! Yes plan things to the minute if possible, but have no expectations of everything going to plan, having fun is the most important thing!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
As my style is natural film making, I tend to not do posed preshoots these days, and mostly we will just have a video chat on the phone about your day, going over the timetable a week or 2 before the event. If we are geographically close I do like to meet up for a coffee and chat about the day as well if possible.
What is the most exciting thing you have caught on camera?
At my last wedding, it was a windy day in October and it was touch and go whether they would do the ceremony indoors or out. They chose outdoors and the brides veil blew off as she was walking down the aisle. I caught that in slow motion. Thankfully she was very cool about it all!
Describe how you got into videography.
Back in 2005 I was originally a medical student at UCL, but western medicine didn't fit with my creative personality, I did actually end up getting a degree in Biomedical Science in 2009 but immediately after followed a previous passion for eastern ancient massage, holsitic health care and meditation, which took me to Thailand where I spent many years training thai massage, zen shiatsu, and other massages and met my wife! I began teaching massage and created a best selling online course, which got me into film making and cameras. In 2018 I filmed my friends wedding as a gift and had incredible feedback from it, and really enjoyed filming it and realised I had a natural talent for it, so continued it as a job that brings me joy. I consider myself very lucky to be able to do things I love and filming weddings is one of them! I am an empath, and really do feel the joy in the day.
