What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
One wedding had an acoustic performer after the just after ceremony whom was just very unique and talented and fitted the mood so perfectly.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I like to have a chat with them, get to know their story so I can make a more bespoke film.
I also now include an (optional) short engagement film which I find helps me create something even more personal.
What is the most exciting thing you have caught on camera?
Sometimes I capture shots that are just in the moment that really make the film more fun and vibrant, I'm always on the look out.
What is the one film you wish you had directed and why?
I was recently impressed with the beautiful cinematography in Dune (2021); also the colours and the mood. Quite a complicated plot but yes the cinematography was just breathtakingly in my opinion.
What is your favourite soundtrack to put to a wedding video?
Live recordings of classics or really atmospheric instrumental tracks.
Describe how you got into videography.
I studied photography and film in college and at university.
I really think that the most important thing for filming is actually experience in stills photography.
I didn't use what I had learned until quite a long time after I had finished my tertiary education. But I am glad that it worked out that way as I now have a broad range of working and life experience to draw from.
I began with one wedding video that I was asked to do as a favour for friends. I was really surprised about how much it all came back to me and I found the whole experience very rewarding so I carried on.
