Leica wedding videographer and photographer
The approach came first. The camera came after.
The eye came from Leica and years of street photography — working close, staying quiet, trusting what’s real over what’s staged.
The daily kit is mostly Sony now, though Leica still comes out for the right shoot. Either way, the approach stays the same: soul and grit over polish.
What the Leica years taught me
Leica taught me to work small, quiet and close — a few years of shooting weddings that way changed how I approach every day since, whatever camera I’m holding.
People behave differently when they’re not being managed. The room breathes better, the day moves more naturally, and the photographs and films end up closer to the truth of what actually happened.
That’s the habit that stuck, not the badge. What matters is what it allows: closer observation, fewer interruptions, and wedding photography that feels natural rather than forced.
Documentary wedding films and photography without the noise
A wedding doesn’t need to feel like a set. It needs attention, timing and someone who can work inside the atmosphere without flattening it.
With a lighter setup, I can move through the day more quietly and stay close to the story without pulling people out of it.
That matters for both wedding films and photography. The strongest moments often happen in old rooms, tight spaces, low light, city streets, registry offices, barns, private homes and dancefloors — anywhere a large setup would change the mood.
Not about gear. About presence.
Whatever camera is in my hand, it’s not the subject of the work. The subject is always the wedding: the people, the place, the pressure, the movement, the voices and the atmosphere.
The camera just helps me stay connected to what’s happening — less equipment between me and the room, less theatre, more attention.
That’s the constant across wedding films and photography, Sony or Leica: slower where the day needs patience, fast when the moment turns, and quiet enough to let the wedding stay itself.

How this fits into the wider work
This approach sits inside a wider documentary style across both wedding films and photography, whatever camera it’s shot on. Start with the portfolio to see it across full days, or the wedding films page to see how the same quiet approach carries into movement, sound and atmosphere.
