Every wedding has a story.

I make it my job to notice it.

Natural analogue, digital photography & cinematic films that feel like your day, not a production.

Joseph McCarthy

I love people, good music, and even better stories. Fortunately, weddings are full of all three.

I’m Joseph, a filmmaker and photographer based in Norfolk. I describe my work as, essentially, home videos. Full of personality and what actually happened. Just filmed with a cinema camera.

I favour genuine personality over staged romance and I think you’ll also find my filmmaking to be heavily music driven, as I believe every good story needs a good soundtrack.

Everyone is welcome here. Every couple deserves to feel comfortable, celebrated and completely themselves in front of the camera, regardless of who they love or how they choose to celebrate their day.

I’ll guide you when you need it, disappear when you don’t, and leave you with a record of the day that feels unmistakably yours.

“Joseph captured our wedding perfectly on film and has given us memories to keep. He went the extra mile to understand us, as people, and our plans for the day.”
