about

I’m Sam Aylett and I started Aylett Films in my final year of university whilst studying Film Production. I got my first gig filming my friend's sister's wedding (Alice & Harry’s at Stokes Farm Barn) and haven't looked back since. 

 

If I'm not filming weddings, I’m filming a medley of other things - From corporate interviews to Mike Dean music videos (Yes, the ex-premier league referee), I’ve had my fair share of experiences with a camera.

​

Weddings have become an integral part of my business; being able to document these moments is a privilege that I will never shy away from. To make my couples smile, laugh, and cry whilst preserving these moments for generations to come is incredibly fulfilling.

fun facts

​I balanced university and filming Peter Crouch’s Podcast - (I use the word ‘balanced’ lightly)

I’m a part time private chef for my client/girlfriend.

I once jumped out of a plane whilst filming with an Ed Sheeren look-alike.

I started cutting my own hair in lockdown and havent gone to a barber since! (Hopefully you can't notice)

 I studied Music and played guitar for 8 years! It's this background in music that allows me to elevate my films through sound. ​​​

my style and process

I came into weddings with no idea what the ‘rules’ were. I had a degree in editing, a background in music, and a love for storytelling - so I just started making films the way I thought they should feel.

From the beginning, I’ve wanted to make films that actually tell a story. Not random shots stitched together with songs that fade out halfway through. That’s not a film - that's a slideshow.

​​

Wedding films should tell a story. Your story. As it happened. Because why would you want anything else?

​

Your day has a natural rhythm to it, with real emotion, conversations and energy. That’s what I try to capture. I film in an unobtrusive way  - no direction, no making you do things twice, no getting in the way. Just observing it all unfold as it happens.

​

I put a lot of time into building something that flows, makes sense, and hits emotionally. Every song is handpicked and layered with musical elements to help carry the story and bring back how it all felt.​​​

​

Sound fair enough?
