Meet the founder, Simon Rautenbach.

“The journey started for me in 2022 as a postgrad Engineering student with a passion for creating. A friend asked me to film his engagement, and later, his wedding. The engagement video marked my first experience with a camera and I haven’t looked back since! I saw an opportunity to support myself financially during my studies, and started doing corporate shoots whilst trying to get into the wedding industry. Things fell into place, and I was fortunate enough to start filming more and more weddings. My business started to grow, and when I completed my Master's degree in 2023, I was faced with a tough decision, but decided to pursue this passion of mine full-time! Once I decided to go full-time, I really wanted to create an identity for my work - this led to the birth of Bach Media.

Why Bach Media? I have always been inspired by classical elements, and constantly find myself drawn to emotive and timeless films. Bach forms part of my surname (Rautenbach), and is shared with arguably the greatest classical composer of all time - I felt that combining a part of my name with my passion for classical components would create a very fitting brand identity.”
