A Considered Fit

This will feel right if…

  • You’re planning a wedding on the French Riviera or in the South of France

  • You value atmosphere, connection, and ease over performance

  • You want to remember how the day felt, not just how it looked

  • You appreciate a discreet presence and a calm, professional approach

A bride and groom are close together, smiling affectionately, with their foreheads nearly touching outdoors during daytime.

This may not be the right fit if…

  • You’re looking for heavily posed or directive filming

  • You want a fast paced, highly stylised highlight film

  • Your wedding involves multiple large scale events across several days

  • Your decision is driven primarily by price rather than experience

Behind The Camera

Filming weddings across France, Italy and Europe

I’m Richard, a wedding videographer originally from the UK and now based on the French Riviera, where I film destination weddings for couples drawn to this region’s light, pace, and sense of ease.

I work calmly and unobtrusively, focusing on atmosphere, people, and the moments that unfold naturally throughout the day. My approach allows you and your guests to feel fully present, while your celebration is captured with care and intention.

The result is a wedding film that feels timeless and personal, one that brings you back not only to how your day looked, but to how it truly felt.
