STYLISH, ARTISTIC & EVOCATIVE FILMMAKING 
I aim for bold and elegant cinematic flair in my work, and strive to make each commission its own mini-movie: your love story told like a piece of cinema. This may be a nostalgic black and white Hollywood romance or a vibrant Baz Luhrmann-esque extravaganza- whatever type of celebration you are having I aim to give you a film that deserves to be watched on the biggest screen possible and to stand the test of time.
I want each of my films to be as unique as the people in front of the camera, so I hope that is reflected when you look through my portfolio.

RECENT COMMISSIONS

These aren’t wedding videos. These are art house shorts that capture the best of human experience.

All of my clients receive a Teaser Film and a Feature Film as standard.

The 1-2 Minute Teaser is where I really let my creativity run free and produce something bold and unique.

The 7-9 Minute Feature Film is where I strive to create a cinematic story worthy of the big screen.

Below are some examples of both.

HOW I DO…

I feel a wedding film is best when it is a natural portrayal of your day, so I do not stage manage you or your guests in any way, or treat you like models on a photo shoot, just capture your story as it unfolds, watching out for moments of authentic emotion, before crafting the story in the editing process.

I also believe, as a wedding videographer, it is best to keep things simple: I do not use lots of gadgets and gizmos to produce my wedding films, rather a keen eye for a perfectly composed shot, the use of elegant music and creative editing- so my equipment, and shooting style on the wedding day, is minimal and discreet, very much like a photographers.  This minimalist style of wedding videography lends itself well to intimate weddings, where discretion is key, overseas weddings, or for couples who simply don't want their special day turned in to a film set!

Your wedding day is a moment in your life that truly belongs to you, a reflection of your unique companionship, but I love to help capture this moment in my own inimitable style- producing a film filled with cinematic flair that will remain a treasured memento for years to come.

My discreet, yet cinematic style, has led me to being chosen to film the weddings of some well known and highly respected musicans and artists over the years, whose work I greatly admire.
