My Style: Cinematic, Story Driven Wedding Films
“Cinematic refers to qualities or techniques characteristic of motion pictures, often implying a visual style or storytelling approach that is grand, polished, and emotionally engaging. It evokes a sense of drama, scale, and artistry that is typically associated with movies, using elements like composition, lighting and editing to create a visually compelling and immersive experience. When something is described as cinematic, it often suggests that it is crafted with a level of detail and flair that makes it feel like it belongs on the big screen.”
James style of filming and editing is to create a wedding films in which every aspect is created with true cinematic rules and principles in mind at every stage. Where cameras are placed, lens choice, framing of the shot, what each shot says and means is considered in every stage of the shoot and edit. James wants every frame to have a reason for being in the film and to always serve the purpose of moving the story forward. The aim is to create a film that connects, that is immersive and compelling. Pacing is important in making a cinematic film, movies will have pace changes at certain points and James’ films follow this principle, slowing when needed before building towards the exciting, emotional moments, at all times with the intention to keep you invested in the story.
James’ wedding film options start with coverage from the preparation all the way through to the evening celebration, including multi day events and international weddings. You will receive your full service and speeches alongside options for trailers, highlights and feature films that are fully customisable to each couple.
Who Are My Films For?
“My films are for couples who want to capture the magic in a cinematic film. There are many ways to video your day, my style is to carefully, thoughtfully and intentionally film your day with the end film in mind. Each frame filmed with intent, with purpose, to tell your story with real heart and soul. I want your film to reflect you, your wedding day, your individuality. I don’t have a cookie-cutter approach to my films, I don’t have templates. My films are for couples who value the creative, cinematic film, one where every frame has a purpose, where as much care is taken with the story telling as is the cinematography.”
Cinema is at the heart of James’s wedding films.
Previous clients have included actors, musicians, sports stars, TV and film producers and an Emmy award winning Hollywood film director. James’s style of film heavily uses cinematic language to tell each story, subtle filming and editing techniques that look effortless on screen but take planning, skill and time to execute in the edit. Lens choice, wide, tight, specific angles, pacing, cut choice, music, foley sound effects, all these techniques are blended into your wedding film to make it feel genuinely cinematic. Cinematic isn’t just slow motion footage over a dramatic song, cinematic storytelling is every frame having a purpose, a reason, to create a rhythm and feeling that drives the story forward.
James is heavily inspired by cinema and prestige television, infusing his films with style and techniques from some of the best films and TV series ever made. This is what drives him, to make your wedding film feel unique, personal and truly cinematic, it’s why he loves making wedding films that look and feel different to any other wedding films you’ve seen.
