My love for this work began while I was still a student at film school and my uncle had asked me to film his wedding. I had always been drawn to documentary filmmaking, and I quickly realised that weddings were like bespoke mini documentary films. By the time I graduated, I knew I didn't want to enter the traditional film industry. With just that one wedding video in my portfolio, I launched my business - and here I am, over a decade and hundreds of love stories later, still loving my job.
I've also been in front of the camera on my own wedding day! In 2017 I married my husband Patrick at The Mill at Ballydugan, still one of my favourite venues to return to. We now live just outside Belfast with our cat Fergal and our dog Séamus in a cosy fixer-upper. You can usually find me most days tucked away at my desk editing, with Fergal curled up on my lap. When I’m not working, I love road trips, outdoorsy holidays, but also quiet nights in with board games, old films, or a good D&D campaign.
Hey, I'm Jo, the one behind the camera

"Jo is incredibly approachable and really works to get a feel for you as a couple so she can deliver the most special wedding video. Jo you are so talented! Thank you."
I make wedding films designed for nostalgia, the kind that takes you right back to your day, with all the sights, sounds, and emotions rushing in like it was yesterday.
Real natural audio from the day is the glue that holds my wedding films together. I weave in vows, laughter, speeches, and little overheard moments to bring the story to the front in a grounded, authentic way.
I don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, I match the style of each film to the style of the couple whether your day is grand and glamorous or intimate and low-key. Your film will feel authentically you.
My goal is simple: to give you a time capsule you can open again and again, so years from now you can remember not just how your wedding looked and sounded, but how it felt.
How I turn your wedding day into a time capsule
My approach
I believe...
I believe in authenticity, in documenting the day as it happens, without interference
I believe in inclusivity, and that all are welcome here
I believe in throwing out the wedding rulebook and doing whatever you want
I believe in chill vibes and letting moments breathe
I believe in people, your community, as the true heart of a wedding day
I believe in embracing imperfection, celebrating who we are now and not waiting for the perfect moment
I believe in film as a tool to take you back to the feeling of the moment
I believe in continual learning, creativity and putting my heart and soul into my films
