The biggest moments tell you what happened. The smallest moments tell you how it felt.

We talk before anything else — a call or a coffee, whichever’s easier. I want to know who you are as a couple, not just your running order: what makes people laugh around you, which family relationships need a bit of care, what part of the day you’re quietly nervous about. By the time I turn up, you already know my face, and I already know where to look.

That conversation shapes everything that follows. I build a loose sense of the moments I don’t want to miss — not a shot list to tick off, but a feel for the story your day is actually going to tell. It’s also when we sort the practical things: timings, locations, whether I’m working alongside a photographer, so none of that needs solving on the day itself.

On the day, I move quietly and stay close to the moments that matter, not just the ones that are easiest to film. I’m not directing you through your own wedding — I’m reading it, and staying close enough to catch what’s real. Most couples tell me that somewhere around the afternoon, they forget I’m even there. That’s exactly the point.

Editing starts within days, while the day is still fresh in my head. Your teaser lands within the first week — something to watch while you’re still on your honeymoon high. The full film follows in four to six weeks: properly edited, properly graded, properly considered. Yours to keep and rewatch for the rest of your life.
