WEDDING STORIES
by Maurice
You found your way here because you don't want a boring, old wedding video. You definitely don't want anything cheesy. And you definitely don't want to spend the day acting or performing silly scenes for a camera.
Special moments are the real moments and that's what I look for on your day. And I do so as a silent observer who will allow your story to unfold into a timeless, emotion-charged film.
I am an established film director and documentary filmmaker and my works have aired on national tv, amazon prime, and A-list film festivals. More importantly, I bring my skill set to your wedding day so that you will have a story you will always be proud of.
Anyone can give you a wedding video... I tell your Wedding Story.
WEDDING STORY
It's my job as a documentary filmmaker to capture the feeling of your day with real moments as they happen.
No posing. No performing for camera. No fuss. I simply allow you to enjoy your wedding day with your family and friends while I remain invisible in the backgrounds; watching and listening to all the things that make you and your wedding unique.
I am a filmmaker. My films have played in cinemas in Ireland, the UK, and America but I never turn your wedding day into a film set. Again, I am invisible.
MY PHILOSOPHY
GREAT PEOPLE make great weddings
I'm not perfect though. I tend to let myself down if you have a chocolate fountain. I drench the marshmallows and I always get some on my shirt. Other than that, I'm thoroughly professional.
I take on a selective amount of weddings each year in the UK and Ireland.
If you think we make a good fit for each other then I would love to tell your Wedding Story.

What sets me apart from 99% of wedding videographers is that I never, ever ask you to pose for me and I have real world film experience. I let your day unfold and I make a timeless film about you and the people who made your wedding day feel magical.
