Experience
What is your most memorable wedding?
Probably the destination wedding in Sardinia. It was an intense, whirlwind adventure getting there and back but the town and wedding itself was such a magical experience that it made all the travel worth it.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Classical, British, Cinematic, Atmospheric, Enthralling
What about your business are you most proud of?
The track record in capturing the unique essence of each wedding we've filmed, rather than operating to a template.
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Don't worry. There is no reason to stress. Things not going to plan, even catastrophically wrong (bride spilling a whole glass of red wine down her dress), have often made the best moments and cherished memories for the couple.
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
Probably a surprise video from the Groom's favourite author, Danny Wallace, which is significant because his book Yes Man, was directly responsible for the couple getting together.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I'll usually exchange a few emails and have a phone call or meeting with a couple so we can get a sense if we want to work with each other (yep, it's important for both parties), then move to the formalities of booking and contracts. Then a couple of months pre-wedding I'll send a form out to get the precise details and arrange a physical meeting if possible. Then we're well set up for a wedding day whereby I tend to try not to interfere with the couple too much. It's all about documenting naturally.
What is the most exciting thing you have caught on camera?
On my iphone - a whale diving.
What is the one film you wish you had directed and why?
The Hobbit trilogy - to fulfil the potential provided by the book. Peter Jackson played a blinder with the Lord of the Rings, but the Hobbit was bloated, forced and missed so many key moments.
What is your favourite soundtrack to put to a wedding video?
I use stock music but I guess anything with build. Having said that, I love the music of Slow Meadow.
Describe how you got into videography.
I'd done bits and pieces on camcorders, etc over the years, but after getting married myself I got a gopro for a round the world honeymoon (because of its size and weight). A travel film I edited of that inspired a friend to ask me to film their wedding. I did that and suddenly people were asking how to book me.
