About
Daniel Kinder — videographer, London & Essex
I’ve spent the last decade with a camera in my hand, mostly in two very different rooms: a wedding breakfast in the Essex countryside, and a sweaty club at 2am. The instinct behind both is the same — find the real moment and hold it.
I founded The Wedding Film to shoot weddings the way I’d want mine shot: documentary, unposed, no lineups against a hedge. I also work as Gucci Daniels, the name my music and nightlife work goes out under. From 2017 to 2020 I was the official videographer to DJ and producer James Hype — filming shows, tours and the short-form that drove his organic growth.
Along the way that’s meant work with Jax Jones, Pioneer DJ, Beatsource, Serato, Crep Protect and InHouse Events, and a lot of nights on the London circuit that never made it to a case study.
If you’re getting married in London or Essex, or you need someone who can shoot a room properly with no plan and no light, that’s the job I do.
