A wedding is, of course, primarily a romantic event between two people, but it’s more than that! I see it as a ritual that unites two different families and brings together the closest friends, and I strive to capture all of this authentically in my work. In my wedding films, I simply love showcasing natural emotions full of humanity, rather than staged clichés.
What do I offer?
1) 5-minute highlight clip – a dynamic showcase of the most important moments;
2) 20-30 minute documentary – a detailed account of the entire day, featuring the key spoken words from the ceremony, the speeches of the witnesses, and other beautiful moments that simply can’t fit into a short clip;
3) 10-minute film – combining the best of a dynamic highlight clip with the more leisurely pace of a documentary;
4) Digitized footage on analog Super 8mm film – film reels have an undeniable charm, and as an additional option, I offer the possibility of vintage footage captured on a legendary Canon camera from the late 1970s to early 1980s, using Kodak film with its unmistakable character.
Before the real wedding whirlwind begins, I capture the surroundings with a drone, adding an epic touch to the film. At the wedding itself, I let everything unfold at its own pace, enjoying the day along with the guests. I’m simply another guest (just with a small camera) who gets close to the people, their faces, and the magic of the moment.
When it comes to editing, music is my alpha and omega — it’s another one of my great passions. I prefer unique melodies and tracks, where every single cut must fit perfectly into the music, creating the right dynamic and emotional impact that highlights the true experiences.
Why a wedding film? Because it immortalizes the event in a completely different way than photos, as it engages more senses. Unlike static and unchanging photos, a film captures subtle facial expressions and the dynamics of the moment, which, combined with quality music, spoken word, and perfect editing, can evoke powerful emotions. Through a wedding film, you can relive important life moments over and over again.
Why a wedding film from me? Because I simply love what I do, and you can tell from my work.
