Hi, I am Declan, an award-winning wedding filmmaker with a passion for crafting films that stand the test of time. My journey to filmmaking has been as unique as the love stories I capture, shaped by adventure, resilience, and a deep appreciation for connection.
I grew up in Cheshire, England, with dreams of becoming a professional football (soccer) player. My ambition took me as far as trying out at Manchester City Football Club. When that chapter closed, I found new purpose in the outdoors, leading wilderness canoe trips in Canada and navigating everything from bear encounters to misty lakes at dawn and transformative experiences for the young people. Those years taught me patience, courage, and the beauty of storytelling - lessons that shaped my work behind the camera.
In 2017, inspired by White In Revery, I invested all of my savings into my first camera and attended a life-changing workshop in Colorado. That leap of faith was the beginning of a new chapter. I started filming weddings across America, documenting love stories that blend cinematic beauty with emotive storytelling. Over the years, I have had the honor of filming hundreds of weddings, from intimate elopements to grand celebrations - including a celebrity wedding in Los Angeles.
