About Me
I believe in capturing authentic moments that tell your unique love story.
"Every wedding tells a unique story. My job is to capture it beautifully."
My Story
Hello, I'm Steven Partlett, the filmmaker behind Life in Motion Videography. I've always been drawn to the art of storytelling, and from a young age, I found myself creating and directing various videos. My journey led me to pursue advanced media studies, but after graduation, I took an unexpected path working with Autistic students in both residential and school settings.
In 2015, I made the bold decision to establish my own videography business, initially collaborating with outdoor adventure companies. However, it was through capturing the magic of weddings that I discovered my true passion. Working closely with couples, I have the privilege of understanding their vision for their special day and bringing it to life through my lens.
As my family grew, I scaled back my work to focus on being present for my children. Now, with a newfound sense of balance, I'm fully dedicated to Life in Motion, creating cinematic wedding films that couples will treasure for generations to come.
My Journey
The Beginning
My journey into wedding videography began when I filmed a friend's wedding as a favour. What started as a simple gesture quickly evolved into a passion for storytelling through film.
Professional Training
I invested in professional cinematography training, learning advanced techniques in lighting, composition, and narrative storytelling to elevate my wedding films.
International Recognition
My work began receiving recognition in international wedding film festivals, validating my artistic approach and commitment to quality.
Life in Motion Studio
I established Life in Motion as a dedicated wedding videography studio, focusing exclusively on creating premium cinematic wedding films.
My Approach
I take a documentary-style approach to wedding videography, focusing on capturing genuine emotions and interactions rather than staging moments. My goal is to be as unobtrusive as possible while still capturing all the important moments of your day.
Each film is carefully crafted to reflect the unique personality and style of the couple. I pay meticulous attention to detail, from the composition of each shot to the selection of music that complements your story.
I believe that the best wedding films capture not just how the day looked, but how it felt. That's why I focus on the small moments, the glances, the laughter, and the tears that make your wedding uniquely yours.
