STORIES ARE ROOTED IN OUR DNA.
For thousands of years we’ve passed on stories. The only thing that has changed is how we share them – from the invention of cave paintings to moving pictures on screen. Storytelling is in our DNA.
It’s the chemistry between two characters that drive the story.
​
Every wedding filmmaker faces the challenge of telling the right story – one that sinks below the surface to truly reflect the essence of the couple.
​
It really comes down to this: good wedding films tell the story. Great wedding films create an experience. We strive for the latter.
The Love Lab is a fusion of my two passions – I am both scientist and filmmaker. As such, I do things a little differently. I dip below the surface; storytelling through a couple’s chemistry. This blend of science and art delivers a rare form of wedding and elopement cinematography.
Born in Germany and raised in Tasmania, my love of filmmaking has taken me to far flung places from the Pacific Islands to the Middle East to the Americas. I delved into the film and television industry in Sydney, working with the likes of Foxtel, ABC and Channel 7. But it would be Tasmania that called me home – an island where The Love Lab and marine science blend seamlessly.
​
It is here that I meet loved up couples who have traveled the globe – lured by Tasmania’s raw and wild personality. Their love story rolls out across a landscape bathed in nature’s drama. Ask me about intimate island corners or guide me to your secret place. Our journey travels through face-to-face meetings, emails, runsheet planning and project management. It’s then all wrapped up in your own epic wedding video.
Based in Hobart, I am available for elopements and weddings worldwide.
