Greg’s journey into wedding filmmaking began unexpectedly, transforming a casual hobby into a full-time passion. “My filmmaking adventure started by accident. I always had a decent camera for social media content and taking pictures of my children. To be honest, it never really crossed my mind to use my camera in any other capacity. But when a friend asked me to shoot a gig that he was DJing at, I thought ‘Why not? Let’s give it a go.’
Eighteen months later, another friend invited Greg to film their wedding. That event became the turning point, sparking his decision to pursue a new career. “The penny dropped, and I knew what I wanted to do. I ended up walking away from my previous businesses and going full-time into wedding filmmaking. Six years in, I love it more than I ever imagined!”
However, Greg’s newfound passion came with its own set of challenges. “Shooting weddings isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Like any industry, we have clients to please. These events come with a lot of pressure, as you only get one chance to capture those ‘one shot’ moments,” he explains.
