Documentary Wedding Films Across Scotland

My approach is simple: I document your wedding as it naturally unfolds. I don’t direct your day or interrupt moments. Instead, I quietly observe and capture real emotion, atmosphere, and the small details you might otherwise miss. The result is a wedding film that feels natural, emotional, and true to your day, not a performance.

Experience & Background

I created Next Scene Films in 2008 in Sheffield, where I was born & grew up. After university I originally produced promotional films for organisations including Sheffield International Venues, Sheffield Hallam University and the NHS. In 2012, I began filming weddings, starting with friends’ weddings and after realising that I enjoyed being part of the wedding day I quickly moved fully into wedding filmmaking.

Since then, I’ve filmed over 160 weddings across Scotland and the UK. Wedding filmmaking became the core focus of my work in 2017 and has shaped everything I do since.
