From watching films to making them. I get to tell real love stories for a living. That will never not blow my mind.
I'm a wedding videographer based in the UK, travelling all over the country and beyond making films about amazing people in love. From the Cotswolds to the Greek Islands.
I film in two modes and I switch between them instinctively all day. When something emotional is happening I stay on the fringes. I don't direct, I don't intervene, I become part of the furniture as far as you're concerned. A lot of my couples tell me afterwards they had no idea I was even there for certain shots. That's exactly what I'm going for.
When the energy shifts, the room entrance, the first dance, the dancing later in the evening, I'm right in the middle of it. I match the vibe, I get involved, I make sure the film feels as alive as the moment did. The edit reflects all of it. No two films feel the same because no two weddings are the same.
Away from the camera, life is gloriously chaotic. I live with my fiancée and our two young kids - a boy and a girl - and we're currently renovating a house at the same time as raising them, which is exactly as mad as it sounds. Becoming a dad has genuinely turned me into an emotional wreck in the best possible way, and I think it shows in how I film.
When I'm not on a building site or doing the nursery run, I've fallen into all the classic dad-in-his-30s hobbies - running, getting far too serious about coffee, a brief but committed lycra-and-cycling phase, podcasts, audiobooks and long family walks. I love it.

Awards aren't really my thing, but I did enter one once, won my region at The Wedding Industry Awards and got to the national final. Maybe one day I'll have another go.
