ABOUT ME

I am Paul Burton and I film and photograph weddings

Whoever you speak to is who turns up on the day. I film it, edit it and send it to you myself.

What working with me is actually like

There are two of you, a room full of people who love you and one day to get it right. My job is to catch what actually happens rather than arrange it.

Before this I spent 24 years in the fire service. It taught me to stay calm when a plan falls apart, which turns out to be the most useful thing I bring to a wedding.

What that means on the day

  • I turn up early, work out where the light is and stay out of your way. Most of the day you will forget I am there.
  • Nothing depends on one camera or one battery. If something fails it is my problem to solve quietly, not yours to hear about.
  • Photographs and film work together rather than fighting each other for the same moment.
  • Nobody enjoys being told to look natural. I would rather make you laugh than direct you.

What you actually get back

A few things people usually ask about

  • Portraits take twenty minutes rather than an hour so you can get back to your guests.
  • The small things get filmed too. The shoes by the window, your dad checking his watch, the quiet bit before the doors open.
  • The ceremony and the speeches are recorded properly, with sound you can actually hear.

I take a limited number of weddings so nothing sits in a queue

No hard sell

If you want to talk it through, book a call. No script, no hard sell and no chasing emails afterwards.

Weddings are most of what I do but not all of it. There are family occasions too, christenings, birthdays and anniversaries, plus funeral and memorial films for families who want the day kept. You can see the range on my life events page.

Where I am based

I am based in Grayshott, on the Surrey and Hampshire border. Surrey, Hampshire, West Sussex, Berkshire and London are all within easy reach. If your venue is further afield I am happy to travel.
