Our Story
I do what I do because I believe weddings deserve to be remembered as they truly felt not staged, not overly directed, but honest and emotionally real. The atmosphere of a wedding day, from the quiet anticipation in the morning to the energy of the evening celebrations, is something that can never be recreated. Preserving that feeling through film is what drives me.
I began my journey in filmmaking with a passion for storytelling and visual composition, drawn to the way light, movement and sound can shape emotion. Over time, that naturally evolved into wedding filmmaking — where documentary observation meets cinematic craft. Weddings offer something unique: genuine human connection, once-in-a-lifetime moments and layered storytelling all within a single day.
My style has been shaped by a love of editorial imagery and documentary filmmaking. I’m inspired by natural light, understated elegance and the rhythm of real moments unfolding without interruption. Rather than directing the day, I blend in and allow events to happen organically, capturing them with intention and care.
Every wedding I film is approached with the same philosophy calm, discreet, and focused on storytelling. For me, it’s never just about creating a beautiful film. It’s about creating something that, years from now, still feels authentic to who you were and how the day truly unfolded.

Friendly, knowledgeable and efficient
James remained inconspicuous throughout (in a good way!), and attended to his duties diligently, even an alternative venue which was forced upon us at the last minute. Efficient and flexible, with all the right kit. Recommended.

Professional, without stress, value for money,
Not had the video back yet (it was only 2 days ago). The service was fantastic. James arrived exactly when agreed, got on with the work we agreed in a professional and trouble free way, and was clear about everything and kept me updated. He was lovely throughout and the whole process was without stress, just an easy, value for money, pleasant experience. I highly recommend him.
