Winter weddings aren’t as popular in this country as they are in others, but when there is a light dusting of frost (or even better snow) it creates such a mood. Jessica and Edward got such a frost for their church wedding in Surrey. When they woke up on the day, there was a thin blanket of frost coating everything, reflecting the light and creating a fairy-glow. It was quite magical. While the snow lay sleeping outside, inside Jessica and Edward were busy getting ready for their nuptials. We especially liked the instructions which Edward was trying to follow to fasten his tie! Inside, the church was warm, with flickering candles, and was buzzing with anticipation. When Jessica rode up in her beautiful classic car – it was the moment that everyone had been waiting for. The service was over before anyone knew it and soon they were back outside being showered in snow-like confetti.
Once at the reception, the room glittered like a snowflake. Candles flickered and their light was picked up and reflected by the silver ware, only to bounce off the lovely floral sprays. It was a very romantic setting. And when Jessica and Edward took to the floor for their first married dance – they were poetry in motion! Their elegant moves captivated their audience. We wish this beautiful couple all the very best.
David and Ceinwen were married in a civil wedding service at Great Fosters in the leafy county of Surrey. Ceinwen and her bridesmaids had a private space set aside for them to collect themselves and attend to hair, makeup and dressing before the wedding service. The girls were on good form keeping each other laughing and giggling throughout. While the girls got themselves ready, we sent one of our camera operators out into the gardens of Great Fosters to capture some of the handsome landscaping. With everything in its greenest state it was particularly beautiful and the water features were mesmerising. It was clear the guests would enjoy spending some time outside. As the guests arrived they enjoyed a quiet drink before making their way to the beautifully decorated wedding chapel. The string players began to play and soon Ceinwen made a stunning entrance walking up the aisle to greet a very happy David.
After the ceremony the wedding party gathered in the conservatory for a celebratory glass of champagne and a chance for everyone to say hello to each other. The call of the beautiful gardens was strong and soon the bridal party answered it to head outside for some photographs. David and Ceinwen posed like pros and they have ended up with some wonderful footage of themselves in the landscaped greenery. We wish David and Ceinwen much joy and happiness in their wedded life together.
The same glorious day in August when Dan & Eva were filming Jehan & Guillaume’s wedding at Claridges, our videographer Matt filmed Sunny & Bing’s wedding in Surrey. A ‘Classic‘ single-camera production, it covered Sunny getting reading before guests arriving at Ramster House for the wedding. I must say Ramster House wasn’t a venue we’d ever filmed at before, but the lovely grounds and the imposing Long Hall provide a stunning backdrop for a wedding.
Bing is a cartoonist and unlike many grooms(!), contributed his talents to the wedding planning by designing the table plan and laying out Scrabble pieces for place cards. This enables a competition for the highest scoring name during the banquet! As you can see from the video, it was a relaxed and enjoyable wedding with a location that enabled guests to enjoy the weather. The music track for the highlights is by Duran Duran, Sunny and Bing were quite original in their suggestions and I think it fitted the edit rather well.
