Liza & Kevin’s Wedding Extended Highlights

This is the first of three posts from the same wedding film. This piece runs for 50 minutes, and is designed for family viewing. It is a little more unusual than most of my posts here.  Late in 2009 Liza asked me to film her wedding to Kevin.  Nothing  unusual about that?  As their story unfolded, it was clear that this was going to be a special occasion.  The way in which Liza and Kevin got together was highly unusual, and very romantic.  Their families both live in Malaysia, and it was not possible for any of them to be at their wedding in England.  The budget for the whole day was tiny.  Not only were they getting married in church with their 40 friends and catering for a three course meal in a pub nearby, Liza and Kevin were going to spend 40% of their budget on having their day captured on video by me so their families could share in the happy occaision.  No pressure then!  We had lots of talks about how we were going to go about making the film as personal and ‘as if you were here’ as we could.  We decided to shoot the church ceremony partly from the ‘point of view’ of someone sitting in the front row of the pews and to use stills taken by various people throughout the day, especially at the two ‘getting ready’ locations, which we couldn’t film at as well.
