I love weddings and always feel very privileged to be attending the weddings I film. It’s an honour that I aim to repay by doing whatever I can to make your wedding film the best it can possibly be.

Having filmed scores of weddings over the past decade I feel I understand how they work, and how to be in the right place at the right time to get the perfect shots. I also appreciate that generally people hate having a camera pointing at them, so I keep in the background and film from a distance so people rarely even notice I am there.

If you read through my testimonials you will see a recurring theme – “our guests didn’t even know you were there” – for me that’s the ultimate accolade.

10 Reasons NOT to have your wedding filmed

Perhaps you are not sure if you want the most important day of your lives filmed at all. I speak to hundreds of couples at wedding fairs each year, and many of them tell me they don’t want a video, for various reasons. Here are 10 of the most common, along with some thoughts that may help you decide.

The best reason to decide that you want the most important day of your lives recorded for posterity can only come from yourselves, but listening to the thoughts of others who chose me to film their day is a good way to help you make your mind up:
“With all the stress that comes with organising a wedding, Martin was a breath of fresh air with his approach and ability to capture every single magical moment of our wedding. Thank you Martin!”
