5 Tips to Make Your Wedding Day Unforgettable

And the Best Way to Relive It Forever

I've filmed nearly 200 weddings, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that the perfect wedding isn’t about perfection—it’s about connection, emotion, and presence. Here are 5 things I’ve seen that consistently make a wedding day truly special.


1. Your People

It doesn’t matter whether it’s 10 people or 400, the people who are there on your wedding day should bring you joy! It makes me so happy when I see a couple stand up to do their speech at the end of the night, look out at everyone’s faces and be genuinely grateful for everyone in that room.

2. Breathing room

Too often have I seen a run sheet with activities timed out to the minute. Wedding days are full of surprises and the last thing you want is to feel like your whole day is unravelling because you’re “running behind” - I’ve got a full guide on crafting the perfect wedding day timeline that you can read here

3. Trust

Doesn’t matter how hands-on or hands-off you are when it comes to planning your wedding, when the day finally arrives, you have to let it all go… Trust that the people around you all want to make your wedding day the best it can possibly be and your job now is just to relax and enjoy it.



4. Good vendors

A good vendor is worth their weight in gold. Their advice on what works, what doesn’t and why can save you time, stress and money when it comes to creating the perfect day for you.

5. Good words

For me, this is one of the most overlooked and yet potentially most impactful parts of a wedding day. A great speech, heartfelt vows… these are what bring everyone together and make a wedding more than just a party. When I see the look in a couple’s eyes as their best friend or family member is giving and incredible speech… it’s magic. I've got a full guide on how to write the perfect wedding speech that you can read and pass on to your guests here


These are just five of the things I've found can help make your wedding day the best it can possibly be.

Now that you’re set to have the best day of your lives, keep scrolling to find out how a wedding film can be your own personal time machine to let you relive it again and again.

Do you wish you could relive the best moments of your wedding day — exactly as they were?

You spend months, maybe years, planning your wedding. You pore over every detail, imagining the way it will all come together—the vows, the speeches, the laughter, the dancing. But when the day finally arrives, it goes by in a flash. You wake up the next morning, barely able to remember how it all unfolded. It all happened so quickly… like a beautiful blur. And then you realize that all you have left are photographs.

Don’t get me wrong—photos are wonderful. But they can only take you so far back. They capture still moments, but they can’t bring back the sound of your vows as you spoke them, the quiver in your partner's voice as they read their speech, or the way your guests’ laughter echoed across the room during the toasts. You can look at the pictures, but you can’t hear the music that played during your first dance, or see the way you both swayed together in perfect harmony.

You find yourself wishing that you could hear it all again… feel it all again.

And that’s when the regret sets in.

You start to wonder: "Why didn’t we get a wedding film? Why didn’t we invest in capturing the entire experience—not just the still moments?"

So many couples don’t realize what they’re missing until it’s too late. They don’t see the full value of a wedding video until the day is over and the memories start to fade. And by then, it’s a regret they carry with them forever.

Hi, I'm Ben

I'm here to make sure you don't feel that regret…

For over a decade, I’ve been helping couples just like you capture the magic of their wedding day—not just through beautiful footage, but through a deeply personal story that reflects who you are as a couple.

What makes my films different is that I don’t just "show up" on the wedding day with a camera. Long before the big day arrives, I spend time getting to know you and your partner—understanding your love story, learning what makes your relationship unique, and helping you craft the best day possible. By the time I arrive to film, I know exactly which moments will mean the most to you, and I’m there to capture all the little details that make up your love story—the way your partner looks at you during the vows, the way your dad’s voice cracks during his speech, the way your friends break out into spontaneous dance during the reception.

I don’t just film your wedding day. I help you preserve a memory that you’ll treasure forever.

That’s why my work is more than just "pretty footage." It’s about storytelling. It’s about creating a film that brings you back to the moment in the most vivid way possible—so that 10, 20, even 50 years from now, you can sit down, watch your wedding film, and feel like you’re living it all over again.

I’ve poured my heart into my craft for over a decade, capturing nearly 200 weddings so far as well as hosting the Make Better Wedding Films podcast, where I interview wedding filmmakers from around the world. Every conversation, every insight, every new technique I learn is something I pour back into my work. My mission is to constantly improve, not just for myself, but for the couples who trust me with their most precious memories.

So if you’re sitting here, wondering whether a wedding film is really worth the investment, let me tell you this:

There’s nothing quite like being able to relive your wedding day—to hear the sounds, see the movement, and feel the emotions all over again. It’s an experience that you can’t fully appreciate until it’s captured, and once you have it, you’ll cherish it forever.

Don’t let your wedding day slip away in a blur. Don’t wake up the next morning and wish you could go back. With a wedding film, you won’t just remember it—you’ll relive it, time and time again.

Try this - watch the wedding film below, see how you feel… and then imagine if that was your wedding, your people, your incredible day. Imagine how much more amazing that's going to feel.

WOW... To say we are speechless is a total understatement.. we seriously don’t even have the words to express our gratitude! You have created something so special to us that we will treasure forever!! Pretty sure i’ve already watched it like 50000 times... Thank you so much! This has totally exceeded our expectations!!!

Ben did an amazing job with our wedding video and we absolutely loved everything he created for us! He was amazing on the day of the wedding, made us feel so at ease, and gave us everything we asked for. Would highly recommend him to anyone, truly the most beautiful videos for us to look back on ♥️
— Chari & Renato
Ben is unbelievably talented. He genuinely hears what you are after, captures the essence of you as a couple and your day. He’s also just a joy to be around within the craziness of your wedding - he’s calm, caring, kind and fun. We are so happy with what he has made - he’s truly an artist. Thank you Ben - a treasured taonga from you x
— Hannah & Carly
Ben is absolutely amazing! He is one of the best decisions we made at our wedding. The video he made for us really conveyed the feelings we felt on the day, so much happiness and joy whilst also being stylistically impressive and set to music we immediately feel in love with.

He captured all the best parts of the day without us even knowing he had caught them at the time. Ben is also kind and easy to communicate with. After viewing his portfolio we really liked his work, but after meeting him we felt really confident he would be a great person to have with us on the day.

Absolutely one of the biggest decisions in your wedding is picking a videographer and I would recommend you make that person Ben!
— Hui & Chris

Omgosh Ben we are both bawling our eyes out! What a special memory of our day you have created into a beautiful keepsake.
