Why Wedding Videography Matters

Your wedding day moves quickly. Faster than you might expect.

Photographs are invaluable, but they freeze moments in time. A wedding film brings them back to life. The voices, the reactions, the atmosphere, and the small details you never even realised were happening at the time.

A good wedding film isn’t about posing or performance. It’s about honesty. Capturing the day as it really happened, so you can relive it properly.

Why choose a documentary wedding videographer

I take a documentary approach to wedding videography. That means no staging, no awkward posing, and no pressure on you or your guests.

I blend into the background, observing and capturing real moments as they happen. From nervous anticipation in the morning, to laughter and tears during speeches, to the subtle glances you miss on the day itself.

The result is a wedding film that feels natural, personal, and genuinely yours.

What’s included in my wedding films

  • Your day as it unfolds, without interruption

  • Natural interactions between friends and family

  • Moments you didn’t see on the day

  • A film that reflects the atmosphere and emotion of your wedding

Every wedding is different. My job is to reflect yours, not force it into a formula.

All couples receive a 2-3 minute Trailer Film and a 15 minute Feature Film as standard.
