The wedding at The Mill Barns in Alveley. What a venue, amazing location and a fantastic photo shoot with the couple. This place will always have a special place in my heart.

Natural, Genuine, Emotion, Love, Romantic.

Im proud of being asked to be the person to capture one of the most important days of couples lives. It really does mean a lot to me, the trust they put into me.

My number one wedding planning tip for couples is to prioritize what truly matters to you both, and not get caught up in the pressure to please everyone else. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by opinions, traditions, and expectations, but at the end of the day, it’s your day to celebrate your love. Focus on the things that will make you both happiest—whether it’s the music, the venue, or a unique personal touch that represents your relationship. Keeping that vision clear will help reduce stress and make the planning process more enjoyable!

This is a hard one.. but one that sticks out in my mind was when the couple incorporated handwritten letters to each other into the ceremony. Before the vows, they took a quiet moment to read those letters privately. It was such an intimate and emotional moment, as they shared their personal feelings in such a raw, authentic way. It really made the ceremony feel like a celebration of their unique connection, and it left everyone in attendance feeling like they had witnessed something truly special. It was a beautiful reminder that weddings are about the couple and their love story.

I genuinely enjoy connecting with couples before the big day. Typically at the beginning, we connect through a phone or video call to get to know each other and determine if we're the good match. If possible, I love to meet the couple at least once in person before their big day. Pre- wedding phoshoot can be a great opportunity for that. Think of it as having a friend accompanying you on your special day, not a complete stranger.

One of the most exciting moments I’ve ever caught on camera at a wedding was when the groom surprised everyone by pulling off an epic backflip during the first dance! The couple started with a slow, romantic sway, and suddenly, the music changed to an upbeat track. The groom let go of the bride’s hand, took a few steps back, and flawlessly flipped in the air. The guests went wild, cheering and clapping, while the bride’s reaction was pure shock and joy. I captured the exact moment mid-air, with the bride’s stunned expression and the crowd’s excitement in the background. It was the perfect mix of emotion, action, and celebration—definitely a once-in-a-lifetime shot!

One film I wish I had directed is Inception (2010). Christopher Nolan’s ability to blend mind-bending storytelling, stunning visuals, and deep emotional layers is incredible. The concept of dreams within dreams, combined with breathtaking cinematography and a powerful score, makes it a masterpiece of modern filmmaking. I would have loved to direct it because of the sheer creativity involved—crafting complex yet seamless dream worlds, playing with time and reality, and keeping the audience engaged while challenging their perception. Plus, the final scene’s ambiguity is legendary! Creating a film that sparks endless discussion and analysis would be an amazing achievement.

My favorite soundtrack to put to a wedding video depends on the couple's style and the overall vibe of the day, but one that always works beautifully is "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri. The soft piano, emotional lyrics, and gentle build-up create a timeless and romantic feel that perfectly complements heartfelt wedding moments. For a more cinematic and uplifting feel, "Marry You" by Bruno Mars or "You Are the Best Thing" by Ray LaMontagne add fun and energy to highlight joyful celebrations. If the couple prefers an instrumental touch, Ludovico Einaudi’s "Nuvole Bianche" or "River Flows in You" by Yiruma bring an elegant and emotional depth to the footage. Ultimately, I choose the music based on the couple’s personality, the wedding atmosphere, and how I want the emotions to resonate in the final edit.

My grandfather bought me my first camera in 2012 and I started vlogging, being the first in town at that time. Then my best friend and I started going to weddings. It was a beautiful growth and I love that I took small steps until I ended up with my wife creating the most memorable memories.
