Handcrafted story-led wedding films that feel like memories.
A calm film experience for the wildly in love but quietly grounded.
Start with a film …
Filmed at Polhawn Fort, this day felt calm, intimate, and quietly emotional. Cassie and Evan wanted a wedding shaped around their people and the place they love.
This is their story, told in full. A story-led wedding film built from real voices, unhurried moments, and the natural rhythm of the day as it unfolded.
“We barely noticed Paul was there, yet he managed to catch every detail, every look, every laugh.”
– Cassie & Evan
A considered way of telling your story
I film weddings because I’m drawn to real connection. Not the spectacle of the day, but the feeling of it. The way people come together. The moments that happen in between the big ones. I’ve never been interested in trends or performance. What matters to me is presence, and creating story-led wedding films that reflect how the day actually felt, not how it was meant to look.
On the day itself, my approach is calm and unobtrusive. I stay back, observe, and give you space to be fully present with the people you love. I won’t ask you to perform or repeat moments. At times, I’ll gently guide things during preparations or portraits if it helps you feel at ease, but always in a way that feels natural and unforced. The rest of the day is left to unfold as it should.
Every wedding has its own rhythm. Its own energy. My job as a documentary wedding filmmaker is to listen for that rhythm and shape the film around it. I’m drawn to stories that feel lived-in rather than produced. Films built from real voices, real movement, and real emotion. Emotionally led wedding films that hold meaning now, and grow with time.
The person behind the camera
I’m Paul. I’ve been filming weddings for over a decade, quietly chasing stories that matter. Not the loud moments, but the human ones. The glances, the laughter, the pauses that say more than words ever could.
On a wedding day, I’m calm, observant, and considered. I blend in, give you space, and step in only when it genuinely helps you feel at ease. Most of the time, you won’t notice I’m there. That’s exactly how it should be.
I’m based in the North of England and film weddings across the UK. When I’m not working, I’m usually planning my next trip, watching films that linger long after they’ve ended, or finding quiet inspiration in everyday moments. Those things shape how I see the world, and how I tell stories.
No two weddings ever feel the same. My role is simply to notice what makes yours different, and tell it honestly.
For everyone in love.
Every couple deserves to feel comfortable, understood, and at ease. Not just on their wedding day, but throughout the whole process of planning it.
I work with couples from all walks of life. LGBTQ+ couples, neurodivergent couples, multicultural families, and people who don’t see themselves reflected in the usual wedding mould. What matters to me isn’t fitting into a template, but taking the time to understand who you are and what feels right for you.
My approach is calm, discreet, and thoughtful. You’re never put on the spot or asked to perform for the camera. You don’t need to be loud, traditionally romantic, or confident in front of a lens. You’re given space to be yourself, exactly as you are.
Love looks different for everyone. That’s what makes each story worth telling.
Real film. Real nostalgia.
Super 8 isn’t a filter or a grainy overlay added afterwards. It’s real analogue film, shot on vintage cameras, physically processed in a lab, and handled with care. The texture, movement, and imperfections are all part of the process. They can’t be recreated digitally, and that’s exactly the point.
I offer Super 8 as a complete way of telling a wedding story, not just a handful of clips dropped into a digital edit. It can be filmed as a full Super 8 wedding film in its own right, or paired alongside digital coverage as a complementary layer. Either way, it’s treated with the same care and intention as everything else I create.
There’s something about filming on real stock that changes the rhythm of a day. It slows things down. It asks you to notice light, movement, and moments as they pass. The result is an analogue wedding film that feels tactile, imperfect, and deeply human. A wedding film on film, shaped by nostalgia rather than polish.
Super 8 isn’t for everyone. But if you’re drawn to character, texture, and the feeling of something made by hand, it offers a beautiful, enduring way to remember your day.
“We cried the whole way through. It felt like reliving the day, but 100 times better.”
– Niamh & Ed
