It’s Not Just a Film
When I film a wedding, it’s never just about creating another video. For me, it’s about memory, emotion, and story. I want couples to have something they can come back to again and again, a film that makes them feel everything they felt on the day, not just see it.
In the video above, I talk about why I started this journey, what drives me, and why this work means so much to me. The short version? It’s not a job, it’s a calling.
Growing Up Without a Wedding Film
I grew up without a film of my own parents’ wedding. It means I know first-hand how precious those memories can be once the moment has passed. A wedding film is more than a keepsake. It’s a way of holding on to a part of your story that would otherwise fade. That thought is always in my mind when I’m filming — I don’t want couples to miss out on something so valuable.
Finding My Place Behind the Camera
Before I did this, I spent over a decade in jobs that paid the bills but gave nothing back. Choosing to build a life around weddings was a conscious decision — one that brings joy to me, as well as the couples I film.
I’ve always felt most comfortable behind the camera. I’m introverted, observant, and calm by nature. I don’t need to be loud or “the life of the party” to do this work well. In fact, it’s the opposite. Weddings allow me to quietly blend into the background, to capture without interrupting, and to notice the little things you might miss in the blur of the day.
Why I Don’t Perform, I Observe
There’s a trend in wedding videography for the filmmaker to act like the couple’s best friend or hype-person. That isn’t me. My couples don’t want that. They want space, ease, and the freedom to be themselves without a camera demanding their attention.
That’s why my style is relaxed and non-intrusive. I don’t direct your story or stage your moments. I document what unfolds. Couples often tell me they barely noticed I was there, yet their film makes it feel like I was everywhere.
This is also why my approach resonates with introverted or neurodivergent couples, who find high-energy suppliers overwhelming. My calm, quiet presence means you can feel seen and supported without pressure.
What I Offer Beyond a Film
Yes, every videographer delivers a wedding film. But what I focus on is the experience. From enquiry to delivery, I want couples to feel looked after, supported, and comfortable. This means:-
- Guides and tips to help the day flow smoothly
- A next-day reel so you don’t wait months to relive your wedding
- A thoughtful edit crafted around voices, emotion, and atmosphere
- Optional touches like Super 8 film for texture and nostalgia
It’s not just a product, it’s something that grows in value as the years go by.
A Life That Finally Feels Right
Weddings give me purpose, creativity, and connection. They allow me to use my skills in a way that feels meaningful. They also give me joy. After years of work that drained me, this is work that fills me up.
When I’m filming a wedding, I don’t feel like I’m “at work.” I feel like I’m doing exactly what I was meant to do.
