No Cowboy is safe

In December 2011 we were contacted by a researcher at Channel 5 asking us if we were able to help out. They explained that a growing number of couples planning their wedding over the last few years had been ripped off by a supplier in the wedding industry and that one couple in particular had to cancel their whole wedding due to the disappearance of the supplier weeks before the wedding leaving them without a dress, photographer and videographer just to name a few, and no sign of their money. The couple, Lucy & Dan were devastated and couldn't see any other option but to cancel their wedding.
However, Channel 5 had agreed to re-plan their wedding and brought together some suppliers to help Lucy and Dan have their special day. We agreed to film their wedding  even though the venue was at secret location. A week before the big day we were informed that their ceremony would be held at a church in Ashford and the venue would be discreetly mentioned to us on the day. We started filming the bridal preparations capturing the anticipation and excitement from the bride and bridesmaids onto the church and covering the whole ceremony.
The venue was unveiled and was at the spectacular Hever Castle. At this point nobody but the suppliers knew the venue and were transported there totally unaware. On arrival everybody was surprised and overwhelmed, but took the opportunity to have a look around the Castle whilst enjoying drinks and canapés. Finally, Lucy and Dan arrived and couldn't hide their emotions, they said it was 'like a dream come true'.
We continued to film the day covering the guest mingling and interacting with the bride and groom, then onto the speeches, cake cutting and first dance.
It was an emotional but fantastic day and I felt privileged to be part of making what was a bad memory into an amazing, memorable day. Lucy & Dan sent us an email shortly after receiving their preview wedding DVD expressing how grateful they were for their wedding video as the day went so fast they couldn't possibly take in everything that had happened.

What a weekend!

Gosh! The past three days have been well and truely hectic! I attended a family wedding on friday as a guest, which I must admit, was rather odd! I had a great day and really got a chance to become fully involved in the family fun and frolics.
I filmed Majella & Ciaron's wedding at Hunton Park, Watford on Saturday. Fast moving, adrenaline pumping but beautiful, I captured their ceremony and reception. The best man's speech was very funny and they had Irish dancers in the evening performing the River Dance! Thanks to Gary Perlmutter Photography who was a pleasure to work alongside! Watch out for stills and highlights...
Sunday was manic, an early start ready for the Hindu ceremony at Hedsor House beginning with the groom arriving by horse following Dhol and bagpipes! The events continued through the day, following a civil ceremony and cocktail party with outdoor speeches. It was also great to meet Daniele from Melgiovanni Photography who is such a perfectionist in his style. The evening ended with energy filled dancing, a Krispy Creme wedding cake and fireworks! Wow!
