Hey, I’m David – owner, lead videographer and editor.
I am also a big softie who’s been known to blub at personalised vows and father of the bride speeches!
Capturing memories for other people is my life, I put my all into each event and I’ve filmed 400+ Weddings since 2014.
Friendly, relaxed and easy going, I don’t want you to feel like you are being filmed all day, so always aim to be as discreet as possible.
Memories fade and loved ones pass, so having a film of such a special time really brings it all back.
I use small but high end cameras to capture the most natural footage of you and your guests enjoying your day.
I pride myself on getting shots without making them happen, alongside storytelling and details that most would miss. I hope that you see that in my films too.
I usually film alone, but sometimes helped by an awesome 2nd shooter if required.
Eternally Adored is my wedding film brand and an extension of my original commercial company Carbyne Media which I founded in 2013.
On a personal level, I’m a father of twin girls and been married to my wonderful wife since 2013.
I’m a huge music fan of all genres, Oasis superfan, I love getting right at the front of a gig, and have played lead guitar in a few bands too.
I love tech – especially new cameras and kit. If it makes my films better, it’s on my shopping list!
I’ll also challenge anyone on a go-kart, or anything that has wheels, and am the biggest F1 geek.
I was in retail management and then online sales listings before I found my passion for capturing images – and I would never go back, I absolutely love what I do now.
But when I’m not out filming or at the computer editing, it’s all about my girls.
Having a job where I can do the school run, and be at home a lot really has been a bonus that I didn’t even think of when I started this journey.
Partial to a rum or whisky if you’re offering (or a beer or wine) and love making my own pizza!
I’d say I’m quiet but not shy, calm, respectful and easy going. I’m confident in what I do, and can say that I’m a safe, reassuring pair of hands for your wedding 🙂
Capturing lifetime memories for people is a huge honour.
I also, really really don’t like being on camera, so if you are the same, I know exactly how you feel. I’ll always do my best to be discrete, relaxed and make you feel comfortable during your day.
Memories fade, your wedding day flies by, and people pass, so having such a special day on film is priceless in the years to come.
WHY DO I DO WHAT I DO?
Well… It all started as a bit of fun for a friends wedding in 2013 which apparently made them cry (with joy hopefully!).
They asked me to just film some bits of their day with their handycam, knowing my love of cameras.
But me being me, couldn’t do half a job so did the best I could with what I had to create a really special film for them.
They adored it and tag me on Facebook every year on their anniversary when they watch it.
I got married a few weeks later and we hadn’t even considered a Videographer, I didn’t like the idea of extra cameras following us, but reluctantly booked one at the very last minute – THE BEST THING WE BOOKED BY A MILE!
When I watched it for the first time, the goosebumps it gave me got me instantly hooked. It took us straight back to our day, so much more than our photos did, and I knew I was capable of creating something just as good for other people given the right kit.
After filming a few more weddings, gaining experience, and realising how powerful a wedding video could be, I’d found my passion and my new career. I spent time learning and researching both the filming and editing side of the craft, creating my company Carbynemedia.com and leaving my managerial job to go full time in 2014. Carbyne Media is my commercial/corporate brand but Weddings took over that! So much so, Eternally Adored Films was born as a more wedding focused brand.
Eternally Adored Films is everything I would be looking for if I were searching for a Wedding Videographer.
