Event Videography and Photography for Family Occasions
The days in between the big ones. Christenings, birthdays, anniversaries and family gatherings, filmed and photographed gently, so nobody spends the afternoon posing.

A recent film
Grace’s christening
A short highlights film from a family christening. The service, the people who travelled to be there, and the part afterwards where everyone finally relaxes.
This is roughly what a family day looks like when it is filmed quietly rather than directed.
What I cover
Occasions worth keeping
Christenings and baptisms
I love documenting the beautiful and spiritually significant moments of a christening or baptism. Every detail is captured, from the quiet moments of reflection in the service to the joyful bit that follows.
Birthday parties
Another trip around the sun. The smiles, the laughter and the heartfelt moments, from the cake cutting to whatever happens on the dance floor once the speeches are done.
Anniversaries
Love worth celebrating. The romantic moments, the heartfelt speeches and the affection that has quietly stood the test of time, kept for the people who were not born yet.
Special celebrations
Retirement parties, family reunions and cultural celebrations. Whatever the occasion, the aim is to preserve the spirit of the day for generations who will want to see it.
A naming ceremony, start to finish
A recent naming ceremony in Surrey, from the quiet moments beforehand to the family photographs afterwards.
How the day goes
Quietly, and mostly out of the way
Nobody remembers a family party for the photographs being taken. They remember it for who was there and how it felt. So I work around the day rather than interrupting it, and the only time I will ask anyone to stand still is for the group shot that somebody’s mother will want.
You get the film and the stills edited and delivered digitally, ready to share with the relatives who could not make it.
Corporate events
Seminars, product launches, team days and awards evenings have their own page, with highlight reels, keynote coverage and team headshots.
Funerals and memorials
Funeral and memorial services are handled separately and quietly, with their own page rather than sitting alongside the celebrations.
Have you got an occasion coming up?
Tell me the date and roughly what is happening. I will let you know if I am free and what it would cost.
