Virginia & Peter’s Wedding Day Highlights, filmed at Oaks Farm Croydon
It is really nice to film at weddings of people who are getting married either later in life or for the second time, as was the case with Virginia and Peter. Their civil ceremony was held on one of sunny with showers Thursdays during the summer at Oaks Farm near Croydon in Surrey. This didn’t stop it from being a lovely and very special occasion.

Emma & David Wedding Day Highlights
Back in August this year (on my birthday) we travelled the short 15 miles to Turners Hill in West Sussex to capture the wedding day of Emma and David at the splendid and luxurious Alexander House Hotel & Spa. From the sumptuous drawing room where the wedding ceremony was held to the glorious gardens which hosted the drinks reception on a lovely sunny day, the Alexander did Emma and David proud. Speaking of proud, Emma was very proud of David, who, turned out in his Army dress uniform, looked handsome and dashing. David, in turn, was bowled over when he saw just how beautiful is bride Emma looked. In all theirs’ was a beautiful day to have been a part of.

Vanisha & Ashwin’s Hindu Ceremony
Vanisha & Ashwin’s choice of venue, Tewin Bury Farm, was inspired. The venue provided more than sufficient space for an outdoor wedding with a civil ceremony and a Hindu ceremony with dining and dancing space for 200 guests without the need to reset rooms.
Vanisha & Ashwin and their families were great fun to work with, and the whole day and evening was just perfect. The Hindu ceremony was the highlight for us, providing so much colour and depth that anyone with three cameras would had a field day, which we did.

Jenna & Simon Price’s Wedding Day at the Brighton Royal Pavilion
The full edit of Jenna & Simon’s Wedding Day has now been completed. It was such a pleasure to create their wedding video. Not only is Brighton & Hove a great place to film, being such an iconic city and, Brighton’s regency Royal Pavilion is one of the most beautiful venue’s for a civil ceremony, the venue for Jenna & Simon’s wedding was less than 10 miles from home for me and my assistant camera person. Most of all, Jenna and Simon are such lovely people to be around for the day. Somewhere approaching 200 people gathered to celebrate their special day. Jenna’s dress was unique and a real wow – Jenna looked fantastic. By all accounts, Simon is a special guy, and looked great in his Black chalk-stripe suit. Of course, most weddings end with a party, but this was one apart when the evening guests arrived enmass – it was like being transported to a club, one that played great music. This was a great wedding to film, and to have been a part of.

Nicky & Will’s Wedding First Dance and Highlights
Remember the end of May Bank Holiday? Just the perfect weather for a wedding at Chobham Golf Club and Painshill Park in Surrey. That’s where we were, filming for Nicky & Will’s wedding video. And it was a fantastic day. It would be fair to say that I’ve videoed a few nervous brides and grooms over the years, and Will was no exception, but Nicky broke new ground, telling her driver that she wanted to text her “I Do” rather than appear in person and refusing (firmly) to be filmed or photographed when she arrived in her stretch limo. As soon as she was married, she was back to being the lovely smiling woman I had met a week earlier.

Jenna & Simon Price’s Wedding Ceremony at Brighton’s Royal Pavilion
On a fantastic sunny Brighton Saturday, 30th May 2009, we were excited to be filming Jenna Alsop and Simon Price (of Stay Beautiful Club fame) lovely wedding in the Brighton Royal Pavilion Red Drawing Room. The bridal party’s arrival in the same model white Rolls Royce as Jenna’s musical love, Marc Bolan, set the tone of the occasion. Simon and his best man, Tony Maggs, cut the most stylish dash in their Gresham Blake black chalk stripe three piece suits. Jenna stunned all, including Simon, looking fabulous with her corpse bride theme, wearing a truly unique wedding dress. Jenna’s choice of red dresses for her two bridesmaid’s and her flower girl was in complete harmony with the original regency wallpaper in the Red Room.
After the photographs in the Royal Pavilion Music Room and on the front lawn of the Royal Pavilion, we moved a short walk to the party room at the Al Duomo Italian Restaurant where fine food was enjoyed prior to the really sweet and moving speeches. After the 100 plus evening quests arrived, the party really began, led by Jenna & Simon’s first dance, a re-enactment of the dance scene from Pulp Fiction, although I think Jenna’s version outshone Uma’s. In all a truly memorable day for one of the nicest couples we have had the pleasure of filming.
