as the wedding season draws to an end, i’ll spend the next 3 months or so, curating films from the days i’ve been granted the pleasure of capturing this year 📽️
over the past few weeks, i’ve pondered on what it means to be a documentary wedding film maker, asking myself…
what emotion do I want the end product to invoke? the emotions myself and the couple felt on the day. who is the film for? most certainly my couples & not for instagram content. do I construct moments or do I stand back and let the wedding unfold, from the sideline? small vs big moments, intimate vs public moments, to me each require a different approach but in essence, the moment and the day, always comes before the film. this sometimes means sacrificing perfect light, perfect timing, perfect framing, to notice the beautiful subtleties that are right in front of us.
here are a handful of VHS moments from lottie & david’s wonderful, emotional rollercoaster of a day at - some big moments, but mostly smaller moments where L&D are unaware of me and my camcorder 📹
honestly, my heart is so so full from this day - full film in the works 🤍
