“We’re in Italy, it’s crazy, I can’t believe it!”
The perfect way to describe how all of us were feeling. For me, it wasn’t just about being in the beautiful south of Italy, but also the fact that the wedding of E & A was finally here after *months* of planning and brainstorming. I’d been looking forward to this wedding ever since we had our first call, and I learnt so much about who I want to be as a filmmaker in the process. These 4 days were a celebration of love, life, friendship, family, Peroni’s, (and the village cat, Neroni).
Something that stood out for me was how supportive and interested the Italian elderly were in our happy couple. It almost felt like they were reliving their own love stories by seeing E & A’s unfold in the streets of Giungano. I’ll never forget it - so grateful that I got to document such a special story.

“Immediately I swiped right” 👀
This is a story of how Imogen and Kyle met thanks to a divine intervention.
This was such a special day, taking place at the beautiful home where Imogen grew up.
What stood out to me from their wedding was how loved Imogen & Kyle are by everyone around them.
It felt like every guest could share a personal story or experience they’ve had with the couple, that they hold dear to their heart.
It truly felt like a community coming together to celebrate the lifelong commitment their dear friends were about to make.
It was such a privilege to work alongside this group of talented vendors:

We had such a fun time with E & A’s wedding, that I wanted to share some of my favourite snippets from the weekend.
Valeria & Ben had the most amazing 3 days in Ischia, Italy, and I was lucky enough to capture it.
I filmed a short interview with Val & Ben, and Val mentioned how Ben has the most contagious excitement for the smallest things and how he makes it feel like a ‘wow’ moment for everyone. Ben mentioned how Val does the same, and how she supports him and his interests in such an incredible way. It was so special to hear how their family members confirmed this with different stories during their speeches, showing how special the bond is between them as a couple and to their families.
This was such a beautiful coming together of cultures, and I can’t wait to share the full film soon!

Now representing filmmaker Bach Films (@bach.films ).
Simon Rautenbach, the filmmaker behind Bach Films, has a knack for turning weddings into cinematic experiences bursting with energy and vibrant color. Drawing from his travels and years of shooting destination weddings, he uncovers genuine moments and weaves them into heartfelt, visually rich films that feel meaningful and full of life. Known for his professionalism and discreet presence, Simon and his team capture every essential shot without ever getting in the way. His films are nontraditional, yet carefully composed, with each frame and beat designed to serve the story and mood. With a genuine love for cinematography and movies, Simon approaches every wedding as a unique opportunity to craft a compelling visual story. He gravitates toward natural light and dynamic composition, using sound design, music, and occasional voiceover to create vibrant, playful films with a nostalgic touch, often featuring vintage hues and a 16mm-inspired look. Each choice Simon makes is meant to highlight the story, giving couples a joyful and vivid way to revisit their wedding day. Rather than perfection, his couples value honesty, personality, and a fun, lasting memory that they can look back on.
Welcome to Aïa Management!
Happy to announce that I’ll be operating under Bach Films moving forward!
This subtle change in name marks a slow albeit not-so-subtle shift in my creative approach, and I figured it was time to share a bit more about me and my process.
