Every Nocturne film is directed by Tom Kinton — a filmmaker, musician, and storyteller based in Cheshire. I craft cinematic wedding films that blend authenticity with emotion, capturing not just what happened, but how it truly felt.
My Nocturne Films approach is rooted in observation, not orchestration. I believe the most powerful wedding films come from real moments — the laughter, the stillness, and the split seconds you didn’t even realise I caught.
Before I was a filmmaker, I spent years on stage — performing in wedding bands across the UK. Watching hundreds of love stories unfold from the sidelines taught me something simple but powerful: the best moments are never staged.
That experience shaped how I approach filmmaking today — focusing on meaning, not performance. Each couple’s story deserves to be told with honesty, care, and an eye for detail that feels timeless rather than trendy.
What it actually feels like to have me capture your story.
No awkward posing. No pretending. Just quiet direction and space for you to be yourselves while I anticipate the real, unrepeatable moments.
I focus on the in-between — the laughter, the glances, the atmosphere. It’s your people, your energy, your story.
I know how precious these memories are, so every frame is treated with care. Your sneak peek arrives within days, and your full film within six weeks — ready to relive for a lifetime.
Because connection matters as much as craft.
I’m not the loudest person in the room - and that’s by design. I’m there to blend in, to notice the fleeting details others might miss, and to tell your story honestly. When I’m not filming, I’m usually editing with a cup of coffee in hand, playing music, or escaping to the coast with my camera. Creativity doesn’t stop when I clock off - it’s just who I am.
Every Nocturne film begins with a conversation — about your story, your energy, and how you want your day to feel. We only take on a limited number of weddings each year to keep every film personal and intentional.
