I don’t know why it is, but I love to shoot motion pictures. I think it’s more because I am a storyteller than anything else. I love to sit around the fire and socialize. I love a good conversation and the sharing of stories.
Wedding films give me the chance to tell the story of the day. Since a wedding film averages only 10-15 minutes long, it is not a full documentation of every minute of the day.
It is more like a collection of special moments, emotional moments, that end up in the final edit. (I think my years working as a photojournalist for a major daily newspaper really honed my skills for finding the storytelling elements!)
And isn’t that what you want to remember, some of the details? Not the whole day shot as a surveillance video or reality tv show. I don’t want to create a documentation of your day with which you replace all your memories with my footage.
But I want to tell your story. With a tight shot of your face before you head up the altar. With the last minute check of your bouquet by your maid of honor. By the small moments that tell the big story.
In black and white. And color. Film!
