Most weddings get filmed. Few get a film.
A few weddings, in the places that held them.
The vows you'll half-remember.
Light, nerve, and the small things that decide whether a wedding survives as a film.
what you'll forget — The toast you laughed too hard to hear.
what stays — Your mother's hands before the first dance.
what only a film holds — The minute nobody photographed, that you'd give the album back for.
Years from now you won't rewatch it. You'll go back to it.
Mostly I work alone; when the day needs it, a small team I've picked by hand. The aim never changes: the room forgets I'm there, and stays a wedding.
"A thousand cameras were pointed at the day. One was paying attention."
Alone or with a small team I've picked by hand, depending on the day and the package we settle. I take few weddings a year, and the ones I take get all of me.
Gear is the floor, not the point.
Tell me where you're marrying, and what you're afraid of forgetting.
