Welcome

Welcome to Gordon Wedding Films

Gordon Wedding Films is the studio of Meryll de Gordon, a wedding filmmaker based in Provence who has filmed more than 180 weddings since 2014 and works with a second team in Thailand. He films destination weddings, elopements and multi-day celebrations across the South of France, Italy, Greece, Thailand and further afield, either as narrative films built on real voices or in a quieter, editorial style.

Gordon Wedding Films is the studio of Meryll de Gordon, who founded it in 2014 and is based in Provence. He came to film through music, songwriting, writing, photography and illustration, and that background still shapes how he edits: rhythm, pauses, voices and ambient sound are treated as part of one composition. He has filmed more than 180 weddings for couples from France, the US, the UK, Europe and Asia, works in French and English, and edits every film himself.

I don’t just film wedding days, I create cinematic wedding films that capture who you are as a couple.Meryll de Gordon, founder, videographer and editor (gordonweddingfilms.com)

About

Gordon Wedding Films

Couples choose between two approaches. Narrative films are built on real audio, with vows, speeches and conversations carrying the story, and can draw in pre-wedding sessions, voice recordings or archive footage; they suit multi-day and destination weddings. Classic films are more visual and restrained, led by atmosphere, composition and the design of the day. In both, he spends time choosing the music and shaping the pace until the film feels right.

On the day he aims to be present without being seen. Couples are not asked to pose, and a typical wedding means ten to twelve hours of continuous filming, with several audio sources at the ceremony and speeches, backup equipment on site and duplicate storage. Smaller weddings he often films alone.
