HOW SWEET 🥹

This was honestly one of the most adorable moments I think I’ve ever witnessed! 😍

Jen told me that she thought her little boy might have a cute reaction, but this was absolutely something else!!

First looks are always beautiful and I always suggest doing them before the ceremony, just because they’re such special moments 🤩🌟

It’s for times like these, it’s crucial that you aim to be in your dress (brides) around an hour before the ceremony starts, just to make sure you have enough time to relax and not get flustered! 👰✅

A bit of a personal update for you, just because 🤪

On 19th February we welcomed Mabel to the family 💖 these moments are so so special!

I might be a little quieter than usual as I take care of Lucy and my family, so please bare with me for a couple of weeks ✌🏼

I’m actually speechless…

So as you’ll all know, I entered The Wedding Industry Awards at the back end of 2023 and in doing so, YOU beautiful 2022/23 couples had to write a review about your experience with me! Never did I think I’d receive this level of flattery, I genuinely don’t know what to say 🥲🥹

Thank you all SO much for taking the time to score me out of 10 and to leave feedback 💫

You’re all the absolute best! ⭐️

“Room for a little one?” 🤪🤣

This photo from Laura & Barrie’s wedding is quite a common ‘scene’ I like to capture with my couples.. BUT I feel like it’s pretty important that you both feel comfortable with me in order for it to not just feel straight up awkward 🥴

From the first time you see me, I try to create that relaxed atmosphere in order to foster these genuine moments, because when you feel at ease it’s more likely that I’ll be able to grab those authentic emotions, which ultimately come together to create a better and more heartfelt film! 🫶🏻

PS shoutout to Alan for this tune ✌🏼

OHHHH YESSS!!! 🎉

Absolutely thrilled to get to the final of 2024!!!

I said to myself when I started out that it would be my aim to make it to the finals within 3 years and to do it in my first is just insane 🤯

Seeing my name alongside other absolutely incredible suppliers is something that makes me so so proud - all thanks to your votes!! 😍🫶🏻

No matter what, on November 7th I will be SO chuffed to be at the event and representing my business!

Thank you all again so much for your ongoing support!!!

💭 What makes me any different from other wedding videographers?

This is was a question I was asked on a call with a future couple and it really too me back and made me think… what is ACTUALLY different?

I can’t speak for every videographer here and I’m in absolutely no position to tell you what I do V what other people do (that’s just not cool) ✌🏼

But what I can do, is tell you what I think couples love most about working with me 🤝

1. Super easy-going ✅

I’m married myself, so I totally understand the stress and anxiety that comes with both planning the wedding and also trying to keep a calm head on the day! Which is why I take a laid back and friend-like approach to you both on the day. The last thing you’ll want is to feel like the person on the other side of the camera is judging how you look, what you’re doing or what you’re actually like. At the end of the day, it’s YOUR day to enjoy!💫

2. Going above and beyond 🌙

You need somebody to get you a glass of water? On my way.
Forgotten your deodorant? Don’t worry, my ‘oh-sh*t-kit’ will sort you out!

I’m constantly on hand to help with anything I can for you throughout the day and also more than happy to help in the planning by suggesting the best suppliers I’ve worked with!

3. You are the celebrities ⭐️

My mission is to really make you feel like celebrities on the day and after! I create your own bespoke album covers (that you can see all on my feed) to make you feel like stars of the show!

These are just 3 things that I think give me an edge for some couples 💯

WE’RE HAVING ANOTHER BABY 👣👶🏻

Some personal news that I’d like to share with all you beautiful people is that my wife, Lucy, is pregnant with our second child 🥰

We’re due February 2024 and cannot wait to meet him/her 🫶🏻

I’ve contacted couple whose wedding is around the due date and put contingencies in place to make sure we’re all shipshape and ready to rock 🤘🏻

Does anyone have a discount code for a job-lot of Red Bull? 😂

🕺 “Just something like this…”

Thanks to for catching me out while showing Josh & Tori what I was looking for during their couple portrait session 😂

As you’ll know by now, I market myself as a “non-invasive” videographer, and for the vast majority of the day - I absolutely am!

However when it comes to the lovey-dovey parts of the film, sometimes it helps to have a little bit of advice!

Especially when it comes to the photographer getting you set up in certain positions, sometimes (all the time) a little bit of moment or action can really take the film to that next level! 👌🏻

For example, your photographer might get you in a pose where you’re both facing each other… for a photograph, that’s great ✅ however for video… it looks a bit weird 😵‍💫🤣 so I might ask the groom to say something cheeky in the bride’s ear… or maybe ask one of you to give the other a twirl (as papped here) 🤪

Either way, we’re going to have a blast with it 🚀 trust me, there’s nothing to be worried about!!

P.S. look at the toe point in Pic 1 😅🕺

time to unwind 💅🏻☀️

I’m taking a much needed short break with my beautiful family to prepare for what’s a VERY busy August/September 😁

I’m going to (try) and put my phone down for a week or so and actually chill out… let’s see how that goes 😂

I’ll be occasionally active on Instagram - so if you need me, drop me a DM!

I’ve got a teaser dropping this week too so keep your 👀 peeled for that!

An amazing day at the wonderful Crow Wood Hotel for Sarah & Corey's wedding day. The sun actually played nice (for once) and we got some beautiful footage th...

I don’t usually show couples anything from straight off my camera, but yesterday I simply couldn’t resist 🤣

My approach is pretty simple: “capture the best memories whilst also being one”

🤔 but what does that mean?

Obviously a HUGE part of my role on your day is to be there at the right moments to capture everything that’s going on - that’s the main reason you’ve booked a videographer, right?

But something I’m particularly conscious of is HOW I go about doing that.

If you haven’t guessed already by now, I’m a pretty down to earth guy who loves getting to a level with my couples so that I can get the best out of you, without being - let’s be honest - annoying 😂

🎯 My mission is to be able to walk away from your wedding and for your guests to think we already knew each other prior to the day! And ultimately for you to just know you’ve enjoyed the day without feeling like you’ve been on camera all day! 📹😊

Shoutout to for this belter 😅
