Video Thoughts for Dan

I have worked with loads of wedding videographers over the years, but I have never come across the combination of a person that I enjoy being around that conducts themselves well at weddings and wedding films that I think couples families guests and other people enjoy watching.

It sometimes feels that in the UK, we can find ourselves to a very narrow idea of what a wedding video should be - typically something romantic saccharine suite with some Ed Sheeran bullshit playing in the background.

But over the years I've come across some incredible videos from other countries where the weddings actually look fun people look like they're having a good time and the emphasis is much more on capturing something real rather than projecting the videographers predetermined vision.

I'm totally open-minded about this, although we're living in the age where younger Millennials are now getting married and it's the dying throws of "the performance generation" where how they look and show up on social media still matters.

Whilst I hate the wrongful use of the term editorial, but many photographers and videographers are using this term to sell a very posed very stylised very forced take on weddings that I find folder and have never booked a client that would prefer this style then reality.

I want people to look back on their wedding photos and they not look dated and for them to relieve the emotions of the day, highs, and lows, but it be a true reflection on everyone that was there and the atmosphere that was created.
