As an international destination wedding videographer in Switzerland, almost every wedding I film consists of crossing borders, a spot of lingustic fun and discovering the most amazing venues. My last wedding of the 2017 summer season was typical of that and so I kept a diary along the way. Friday Mid-Morning ‘Left for France’…. a…
There’s something rather magical and glamorous about weddings in Switzerland during the winter months… picture a blanket of snow, snowflakes falling and a roaring log fire inside to keep everyone warm. Chapels and exclusive venues in snow-capped mountains, frozen lakes or ice igloos – Switzerland’s amazing scenery makes the perfect backdrop for any wedding. We’ve…
‘Dreamy’, ‘Magical’, ‘Lavish’ and ‘Fairy-tale’ – just some of the words that have been used in social media and various online publications over the last 48 hours to describe the wedding of celebrity doctors Vicki Belo and Hayden Kho. After a 12-year relationship, the couple proved to their millions of fans that love conquers all…
We’ve had a fine selection of truly amazing weddings this year so far and learnt some valuable new lessons in the art of being a wedding videographer. This year, more than any before, we’ve witnessed a slew of trends that directly influence how a videographer will capture the wedding day. So, it feels only right…

Being a wedding videographer is such a privilege. I realise this today while I fly over the skies of the Jungfrau Region where I live, out of Switzerland, in to the dreams of others. I’m on my way to work. On this occasion to a wedding at Palais Shohnburg in Vienna. But I am so…
Sitting on my balcony and all I can hear is the sound of rushing water from Staubbach Falls across the valley and cow bells (honestly) echoing across the meadows. It’s a far cry from the bustle of a Yorkshire market town, where we used to live. At the end of October last year (2016) my…
