Investment
I film a limited number of weddings each year so I can give each one proper time in planning, filming and the edit.
My collections are set up for larger, family-centred days and full weekend celebrations, where film is a key part of the budget and the experience. Download my brochure for guide pricing, example collections and what is included.
