My Approach 

I've had the honour of filming and photographing events worldwide and documenting weddings across the UK. Photography Portfolio 

My passion for storytelling has led me on a captivating journey, enabling me to chronicle the unique love stories of individuals from diverse backgrounds. Filming amidst enchanting landscapes and iconic venues/areas like the Peak District, The Isle of Wight, Sheffield City Hall, and Botley's Mansion with its stunning Bentley has been a remarkable experience. Creating films that are not only emotionally resonant but also enduring, destined to be treasured by generations, brings me immense satisfaction.

In my approach to wedding videography and photography, I lean towards a minimalist style, concentrating on capturing candid moments that genuinely reflect the essence of the day discreetly. I strongly believe in offering each couple a tailored, bespoke service aligned with their distinct vision. Consequently, I collaborate closely with every client, ensuring their individual needs and preferences are addressed.

My commitment revolves around delivering a service of exceptional quality that surpasses expectations. I am unwaveringly dedicated to exceeding standards in every project. The palpable attention to detail in my craft is evident, and I take great pride in crafting films that not only showcase visual beauty but also carry profound meaning.

My Hobbies

Apart from my involvement in filmmaking, I have a deep passion for exploring new destinations. I'm an avid fan of Marvel Films and Star Wars—feel free to strike up a conversation about these with me! I also enjoy spending my leisure time watching and filming football (Nottingham Forest Fan) and Barnsley FC Photographer (See my work for Forest), hitting the gym and going for a runs and walks.

As you might have guessed, I have a particular fondness for drones and have taken them to various countries. Some of the places where I've captured breath-taking footage include Valencia, Spain, and across Italy while hiking in the stunning Dolomites Mountains. Verona and Lake Garda are a couple more destinations that have been graced by my drone's 6k Sensor.
