Planning a stunning wedding abroad and looking for a destination wedding videographer?

As a destination wedding videographer based in the UK, I love travelling around the world to tell the beautiful, heartwarming and authentic stories of my couples, no matter where they decide to go.

My destination wedding films place an emphasis on you, your story and your journey- not only where you are right now, but also where you have been on your road to your very special wedding day.

My Cinematic Approach To Destination Wedding Videography

To me, creating destination wedding films is more than just capturing beautiful visuals—it's about immersing yourself in the story of the couple and the destination they’ve chosen. Every couple selects a specific destination for a reason, whether it's the romance of a hidden beach, the timeless charm of a European city, or the stunning beauty of a mountainside retreat. I take great care in weaving the essence of that destination into your wedding film, making it an integral part of the story.

Filming your destination wedding involves the skill and experience of knowing when to let a natural, authentic moment unfold without getting involved, as well as knowing when to step in with direction and creative ideas. My entire style and approach has been built on these two foundations, blending of natural authenticity and emotion with carefully crafted and planned editorial style visuals. It's being unobtrusive when it's a once-in-a-lifetime moment for you and it's being confident in directing the moments that will make your heart skip a beat when you watch them back.

Destination wedding videography is about capturing those special moments and pairing them together with editorial-style visuals that do justice to the beauty of your location. The energy of your chosen destination will resonate throughout the film, whether it’s the sound of waves crashing on the shore or the bustling streets of a foreign city, creating a beautiful story accompanied by a highly emotive, well thought out narrative—one that will make you laugh, cry and reminice for many, many years to come without turning your wedding day into a film set.

“We were blown away with Luke’s ability to make us feel so comfortable, give us loads of ideas and make us laugh from the initial meeting, all the way through to the end.

The quality of his work is outstanding… But it was also so fun to film with him! ”

Your Bespoke Destination Wedding Film Experience

There's nothing quite like the romance of a destination wedding, is there?

It's like something straight out of a Hollywood film- flying off to some distant, beautiful land to marry the love of your life. Maybe it is amongst the Dolomite Mountains in Italy, maybe against the Mediterranean coastline or perhaps a traditional vineyard in France. Wherever it is, there is only one thing that will be more special than the location- you and your story.

As a destination wedding videographer, I have a simple rule when it comes to creating my cinematic wedding films- people come first, cameras come second. I believe this is the cornerstone of destination wedding videography: placing the emphasis on your experience working with me and creating a relaxed atmosphere whereby you feel comfortable around me. When that happens, you will forget the cameras are even there. I want to be friendly and personable first and foremost, making you feel like i am just another friend at your wedding. It's this approach that allows me such privileged access to my clients most emotional moments, and it's what i value the most when creating your destination wedding video. It's not about the cameras or even necessarily the beautiful location- it's about you.

What To Expect From Destination Wedding Videography

Romantically Driven And Story Focussed, your destination wedding film will be something very, very special.

Destination wedding films allow for a more personalised, in-depth wedding film experience due to the length of time we normally have together. Over the course of multiple days there are always amazing opportunities to capture those once-in-a-lifetime memories that happen either side of your wedding day- with all of your friends and family in one place it really is something very special indeed. Imagine the laughter around the pool with all of your friends as they relax into your wedding extravaganza, a beautful sunset shot of you both walking hand in hand down the beach the day before you say your 'I do's' or that view you'll look out on together over the rolling mountainous vineyards after your wedding ceremony- all captured forever in a stunning cinematic destination wedding film.

I am passionate about telling my clients stories through my lenses and there is no better place to show that than with a destination wedding film.

“At no point did we feel like we were 'being filmed' and he has captured the essence of our day just perfectly.

We are completely and utterly blown away- on multiple occasions the comment has been 'best wedding video I have ever seen'.

Thank you for giving us the gift of this memory Luke, we are over the moon.”
