Hi, I'm Russell

I'm a wedding & bridal fashion videographer based in the UK, but most of my work is worldwide. I captured my first wedding in 2013, and was recently named as 'One of the UK's Top 10 Wedding Videographers' in the UK by WedVibes in 2023. I'm so fortunate that my hobby for filmmaking became an all-consuming full time career many years ago, and I live and breathe every project I'm involved in.
