Hi, I'm James. I've been making wedding videos for over ten years now. I recently took a break for a few years due to raising two small boys. My wife Alice and I live in Bristol, which we love. I was originally asked by some friends to film their wedding as a favour and loved the experience. It went from there, really. I use my background in fine art with film to make carefully crafted wedding films.
My style of filming is very much to merge into the background and capture events as they unfold around me. I like to be in the thick of the action but have yet to actually be noticed, unlike many other wedding videographers. I watch, observe and see before deciding what to film, picking out all the little details that make wedding days so unique to each couple. This gives the film a feeling that takes it beyond a simple recording of the day. I will take directions from the couple beforehand; if there are any people/decorations/happenings that you'd want particular attention to, then I'm always going to incorporate them. Otherwise, I let the day take me and enjoy the atmosphere which all goes into capturing the emotion of the day.
I film weddings in my own unique way. I love to capture the day and all its beauty, laughter and joy, using as little direction as possible. I aim to create a film that will be a memory forever of one of the most memorable days of people's lives. I observe and pay close attention to details such as interactions between people, the sounds and music drifting in and out and the atmosphere of the day so that I can represent the true essence of the experience. Couples often compliment my films as showing them parts of the day they missed at the time but valued dramatically as a keepsake forever.
