Bite-sized edits from the past 10 years.
I started making Super 8 wedding films in 2010 and added a 16mm camera to my kit bag in 2012.
Film scanning has improved, so more recent work looks sharper, some films just don’t “fit” on the home-page and there are some things aren’t weddings at all but that I’d still like to share- so I’ve cut the longer films into bite-sized chunks and sprinkled them here.
I originally cut the one minute edits to share on my Instagram. Most of the soundtracks have been raided from Youtube’s copyright free music library - apologies for the fact that you’ll hear the same tracks several times and that some of them are a teeny bit cheesy.
Music Video, 2017
I used to have a sideline in weird stop-frame animation.
In 2016-17 I was commissioned by Mercury Prize winning artist, Speech Debelle to make this.
It’s mostly made of footage from Speech’s personal archive, printed, chopped up and collaged - frame by frame, by frame, by frame, etc.
There were a lot of very small pieces of paper in my life.
Claire & Daniel, 2014
At Poundon House, St Mary's Church, Haddenham and The Tythe Barn.
Shot on Kodak Super 8 and Fuji 16mm film.
Alison & Andrew, 2016
Crear is a venue unlike any other that I’ve shot at - perched above a private beach in a remote stretch of the Mull of Kintyre on the West Coast of Scotland.
Shot on Kodak Super 8 and some old Fuji Eterna 16mm.
Lily & Lenny, 2016
At a private Chateaux in Bordeaux, France.
Shot on Kodak Super 8 and 16mm film and a little bit of expired Fuji 16mm.
See below for the evening bits.
Lily & Lenny cont.
I’m often asked whether it’s possible to shoot on film in low-light.
It is: here's some footage from Lilly and Lenny’s evening do.
Alice & James, 2012
A windy, sunny wedding day on the family fruit farm in Kent.
Shot on Kodak Super 8 film.
Wine Comes In at the Mouth - Music Video
A music video for Ed Critchley by Wilex for straight 8 2019.
I teamed up with my friend Alex to make this far-from-perfect, totally unedited music video for straight 8 2019.
straight 8 is an awesome film competition with ridiculously strict rules.
My entries from 2006-2012 premiered at Cannes Film Festival. That’s another story though.
Madeline & Matthew, 2014
At Chateau La Durantie in the Dordogne, France.
One of my favourite Chateaux to shoot at!
Erika & Mark, 2012
At the Church of St Martha-on-the-Hill, Guildford.
Erika & Mark are musicians. Mark is the drummer for Skunk Anansie - and yes, that is them playing at the reception.
This was also the first wedding that I shot any 16mm film at - I was blown away by the results - especially in limited light.
Christina & Flor, 2015
My wife met Christina when training to be a ski instructor a long, long time ago.
We shot her & Flor’s stunning wedding in Kenmare, County Kerry as a wedding present.
On Kodak Super 8 and Various 16mm film.
Katie & Billy, 2012
Not an edit, just a long, slow-motion rose petal confetti shot on Super 8 film.
Karen & Firas, 2014
On a crisp winters day by the sea at the East Quay in Whitstable.
A.K.A. The Lobster Shack.
Charlie & Jonny, 2015
I’ve been tremendously lucky to shoot more weddings at Preston Court in Kent than anywhere else.
Charlie & Jonny’s wedding service took place at the very pretty St Mildred’s church, right next door to the venue.
