About

Yanny, founder and wedding filmmaker at Paskali FilmsMEET YANNY

A filmmaker first.

A storyteller always.

I have always been drawn to the way film can hold onto a feeling.

I trained in 16mm film production with the dream of becoming a filmmaker, before working across commercials, music videos, documentaries and short films. My path into weddings began unexpectedly while filming a documentary about the Olympic Village and its impact on local businesses.

Having seen the way I worked, the director invited me to film his niece’s Indian wedding. That one invitation changed the course of my career. A photographer working at the celebration noticed my instinct for storytelling and invited me to help develop the filmmaking side of his studio.

I quickly discovered that weddings gave me something rare: the freedom to combine cinematic technique, documentary honesty and genuine human emotion within the same film.

For nearly two decades, I have specialised in Indian and fusion weddings. Over that time, I have developed a deep understanding of the traditions, ceremonies and relationships at the heart of each celebration. That understanding allows me to anticipate the moments that cannot be planned—a glance before an entrance, a parent’s tears, laughter shared across a room, or the energy when everyone comes together.

My approach is calm, patient and unobtrusive. I know when to move closer, which lens will preserve the intimacy of a moment without interrupting it, and when to step back and simply let the story unfold.

Couples often tell me that my warmth and steady presence help everything feel easier on the day. That matters deeply to me. I want you to feel completely comfortable, knowing that every meaningful moment is being captured with care.

I accept only a limited number of weddings each year so that I can give every couple, every celebration and every film my full attention. Your wedding will never be treated as a formula. It will be shaped around your personalities, your families and the atmosphere of your day.

When you return to your film years from now, I do not simply want you to remember how everything looked.

I want you to feel it all again.
