Gaetano Di Giacomo, who goes by Gae, started in weddings at sixteen in Sorrento, carrying batteries and setting lights for a local wedding videographer. He now runs Gaetano Di Giacomo Media Production from two bases, Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire and Perugia in Umbria, and says he and his team bring more than ten years of experience to luxury weddings. In 2023 Guides for Brides named him Best National Wedding Videographer, and The Wedding Industry Awards named him best South Central wedding videographer.
He describes his films as cinematic with a documentary core: he films the day as it happens rather than staging it, then builds the edit around the moments couples did not see themselves. Couples' reviews on his site come back to the same point, that he blends in during the ceremony and speeches. He films on Sony FX3 and A7S III cameras with prime lenses, uses a DJI Ronin gimbal for moving shots, and flies DJI drones for aerial views of the venue and the confetti exit.
“I started filming weddings at just 16, and over the years, I've mastered not only the art of storytelling but also the skill of being "invisible."”
Gaetano Di Giacomo, founder
In England his work centres on London, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Essex and Cambridge, with films at Ashridge House, Hedsor House, The Ned, the NoMad Hotel, Waddesdon and Kin House in Wiltshire. As an Italian speaker he is often booked for Italian destination weddings in Tuscany, Florence, Umbria, Lake Como and on the Amalfi Coast, and he has also filmed at Villa Almanita in Spain and One&Only Portonovi in Montenegro.
Couples receive a short teaser or trailer first, then a highlight film, with longer feature films on his channel for many weddings. Films are delivered through an online VidFlow gallery, and a USB in a handmade wooden case is available as a keepsake. He also takes a small number of photography commissions each year, but only for couples who book him for film as well.
