What Matters Most to Me on a Wedding Day

For me, the most important part of a wedding day is the end result - that moment when the couple finally sits down to watch their film or flip through their photos, and I see the smile, the emotion, the recognition of “This is us. This is our day.”
That reaction is everything. It makes me feel like I’m not just documenting a moment… I’m becoming part of a memory that will live with them forever.

Emotion and story are at the center of how I work. A wedding film is usually five to seven minutes, but the day itself is ten hours of moments, details, energy, and feeling. My job is to fit that entire universe into a few minutes without losing any of the heart. I’m always trying to capture not only what happened, but how it felt - because if I felt something while filming, I want the couple (and even people who weren’t there) to feel it too.

Being invisible is a huge part of that. I never want to interrupt, over-direct, or turn the day into a production. The bride is always the main focus - not in a cliché way, but because the entire day naturally revolves around her energy and experience. My approach is simple: follow her, follow him, and follow the emotion. Capture the candid moments. Pause them only when it truly enhances the story. And above all, protect their experience. It’s their day, not mine.

My goal is to preserve every detail, every tear, every laugh, every small thing they may not notice in the moment - but will cherish later. I’m there to create something that will outlive the day itself, something that feels like reliving the memory, not just watching a recap.
