Don’t Touch the Dress

When I film weddings, I look for moments that are real. Unposed. Uninterrupted. The kind of moments where you and your partner are simply being, walking, laughing, holding hands, maybe sharing a quiet breath. That’s why I always say this one thing: don’t worry about perfection. If something sits a little off, that’s okay. If the flowers aren’t perfectly arranged, the veil isn’t perfectly straight, or the train isn’t perfectly fanned out, that’s okay too. What I don’t want is footage filled with people running in and out of frame, fixing every little detail. Whether it’s your mum, your celebrant, or your bridesmaids, constant adjusting takes you out of the moment. And that’s the moment I want to capture. Those natural, organic shots where nothing is staged and everything is felt, that’s what makes a wedding film timeless. So let things sit how they fall. Let the wind catch them. Let them be a little imperfect. Because love is never about perfection, it’s about presence.
