Nice to meet you!
I’m Paul, a travel wedding videographer based in Manchester, UK.
Meet Paul: The wedding videographer FOR easy-going couples who value authenticity.
I love what I do!
I started my business to follow my passion for making films and escape a draining office job. Running my wedding videography business lets me travel. It lets me create new experiences and meet new people. My mission is to capture the special moments of your day with love and passion, so they never fade. I offer 1-1 consultations with a variety of film options personalised to you. I ensure your memories are beautifully captured and easily accessible through an online streaming portal (Netflix for your wedding day!).
THE ORIGIN STORY
I have had a passion for filmmaking since I was a kid, though I didn’t pick up a film camera until I was around 18, before that I did a lot of photography. But my love was really in the moving image and the emotions it could bring, the stories that could be told. It wasn’t just a single moment in time or something posed – it was a living breathing thing. The mix of image, sound, music and colour to make you feel something.
Around 10 years ago I kicked the can of working for “the man” (I’ll keep saying 10 years then I can forget how fast time has flown!) and I started filming weddings. I loved working in different environments, crafting and telling stories that were meaningful and intimate to each couple and well, loved working for myself! Since then I have never looked back.
Did I also mention I love travelling? I live in Manchester, but love travelling for weddings around the UK. I used to love doing the odd destination wedding too, but Brexit has pushed that off the charts… Travelling for pleasure has been a lot harder recently and I’m presently saving to go to Japan – a quest that will take me a few years to save up to do properly. Prior to that, my favourite place was Iceland – as you can see from some of the images above – and yes, if you want to fly me out to Iceland to film your wedding/elopement then I’m sure I can work something out with you! I love making films and taking photos when travelling as well. I’ve also just picked up a Super 8mm film camera and will be making some films on that as well (plus adding it to my wedding videography options!).
Other things are I have a thing for Apple products, an eclectic taste in music, enjoy keeping fit and cooking my own food, I was on TV once when I was a child, I’m a cat person, love fish, chips, peas n curry sauce, born in Bedford but raised in Manchester and I adore the films of Studio Ghibli – so much so I have seen some of them in theatre.
On an evening or a day I’m not deep in my edit suite, you’ll find me watching some geeky TV (seriously, they have all Classic Who on iPlayer now!), catching a movie or playing my PS5.
MY MISSION
My mission is to craft not just a film, but an emotional heirloom.
Does this sound like you?
If the answer is YES, then you’ve found your wedding videographer! Get in touch and let’s have a chat about your wedding, how I work and what I offer. Rather than loads of email or WhatsApp back and forth, I find it much easier to schedule a quick and casual video meet and greet so you can decide if I’m the perfect fit for you.
