The Difference

Most wedding videos look the same. Yours shouldn't.

Fast cuts, a drone shot, a trending song, done. That's not what you'll want to watch in twenty years.

A videographer in your face all day, directing moments that should happen on their own
A highlight reel that could be anyone's wedding, cut to the same trending song
Colours pushed so hard your day no longer looks like your day
Vows and speeches cut down to seconds, when they're the parts you'll most want back
My Approach

Films Made to Be Watched in Twenty Years

I work quietly, with natural colour and music that carries the story, so your film feels the way the day felt.

I oversee every film, from our first call to the final grade
Unobtrusive on the day. Rarely posed, never staged
Natural colour, true to how your day actually looked
Music chosen to carry your story, not follow a trend

"There is a genuine authenticity to his work, which stems from the fact that he really takes the time and makes the effort to get to know you."

"Without much direction from us, he was able to put together a beautiful video depicting our multicultural wedding, which my mum refers to as "it's like watching a movie.""

The Filmmaker

Filmed Across Cape Town and the Winelands

I've filmed over 100 weddings, from Tintswalo Atlantic to Boschendal, Quoin Rock and Johannesdal. My background is in documentary and cinema, and I bring that to every wedding: patience, a quiet presence, and an eye for the moments nobody planned.

"I want to understand your story and what this day means to you. That's what lets me make a film you'll be proud to show your family, and one you can't wait to sit down and show your kids one day."
