LOUIS EMOTO

After several years working in the fashion industry, I was introduced to videography by a designer and close friend who was building a team for a wedding filmmaking company. I joined the team and began learning the foundations of wedding filmmaking through direct experience, working under guided mentorship and alongside people who had already spent years refining their craft.

Over the following two summers, I worked with two wedding film companies and collaborated with experienced filmmakers, which gave me a strong technical and creative base, while also showing me how much more there was to explore beyond simply documenting a day. I also came to appreciate just how varied weddings can be and I feel fortunate to have captured a wide range of celebrations over the years, from the more casual and informal to those that are more detailed and considered.

In many ways, capturing weddings came to feel like a natural meeting point for everything I had long been drawn to. It brought together visuals, emotion, sound, style and storytelling with the unpredictability, intimacy and personal connection that a wedding day holds. There is something truly special about the way everyone is drawn into a day that is both wonderfully momentary and full of feeling.

I feel privileged to work a craft that is both creatively challenging and emotionally compelling, while also allowing me to meet people at such an important and personal moment in their lives.
