Zen Film Works directs wedding films for a small number of clients each year — in Paris, Como, the Cotswolds, across France and Italy, and almost anywhere else our clients call home.
Our work sits closer to documentary filmmaking than to wedding videography: unscripted, character-led, timeless and built to be watched again in twenty years, not just the week after.
We're known for a fashion-forward eye paired with documentary discipline. The same instincts behind our work for some of the greatest fashion houses, Animal Planet and the feature documentaries currently in production — now brought to the single day that matters most to you.

We are not just wedding videographers, we are story architects OF WEDDING CINEMA.
Most studios arrive on the day, film what happens, and deliver an edit weeks later.
Our top-tier collections go further. We begin long before your weddig day. Walking your venue with you, writing a treatment for your story, sitting down together on camera before a single frame is shot.
We provide a wedding cinema experience. We orchestrate a private cinema screening once the film is finished, a bespoke score composed for your wedding film, recoded in a studio with an orchestra, and a documentary shoot following the creation of your wedding gown from first fitting to final stitch with a fashion shoot after.
This is not just wedding videography. This is a wedding cinema experience, curated by story architects.
Since 2012, we've filmed weddings across the South of France, Italy, Paris, and destinations worldwide. We know the light, the logistics, and the local rhythm of each, because we've filmed there before, season after season. Wherever your wedding takes place, we bring that experience with us.

Meet Christopher, YOUR DIRECTOR
Christopher began as an industrial designer in Sydney, Australia, before relocating to Hossegor, France, in 2012, where filmmaking overtook him entirely. In the years since, he has directed wedding films for high-net-worth clients, royals, and celebrities around the world — while building a parallel career in documentary film, including work for Animal Planet and feature documentaries currently in production.
His eye is fashion-forward, his discipline is documentary, and his subject, always, is the truth of a day rather than the performance of one — whether the wedding is an elopement for two or a multi-million-euro celebration for two thousand guests.
Based in Paris since 2012, Christopher now works across France, Italy, and destinations worldwide, taking on a small number of weddings each year.
The Zen Film Works ethos
Zen Film Works exists to direct destination luxury wedding films across Paris, Italy, and beyond — built from a couple's actual story, not a template applied to it. From France to Italy and every destination between, we go wherever the story leads.
Emotional truth isn't a mood we add in post-production. It's the reason the camera is there at all. On the day itself, the most important thing I bring isn't a shot list — it's the trust that lets you forget the camera is there, so what we capture is real.
Paris is a luxurious destination for couples looking to tie the knot in style. Known as the "City of Love", Paris offers an elegant and sophisticated setting for your special day. Whether you're looking for a grand and opulent wedding or a more intimate and exclusive ceremony, Paris has something to offer for every couple.

Paris is home to some of the world's most luxurious hotels, such as The Ritz Paris or The Four Seasons Hotel George V, and these venues offer a high level of service, fine dining and an elegant atmosphere for your special day.
