New Year Reflection

With the New Year fast approaching, we have begun reflecting on the previous year.

Anneka Ireland Videography has managed to double the amount of weddings we filmed compared to 2010 and are astonished by the level of interest for 2012. It seems that a wedding video is no longer a luxury but now a necessity, and the demand for a high quality wedding film has greatly increased.

We’ve learnt a lot over the previous year and have developed into a flexible and well-established business with many happy clients who regularly tell us about the number of times they’ve watch their film and recommending us to their friend’s. 

One thing that we pride ourselves on is to listen to our brides and grooms-to-be, to discuss their ideas and build their wedding video around their individual needs and expectations but at the same time giving professional advice or alternatives as to what can be done. We’re also keen to try out new and crazy ideas to make our clients wedding films just that bit different.

By totally immersing ourselves in the whole wedding industry, networking and working closely with other suppliers, we are able to recommend genuine and professional services to our clients, should they require.

Ultimately, we have one goal; to produce high quality wedding videos which will document our clients wedding days so they can cherish and re-live the memories forever.

The Grasshopper Inn Wedding Fair

We exhibited at the beautiful Tudor Grasshopper Inn, Westerham yesterday. The day was bustling with brides-to-be with their family or partners checking out the wide range of wedding services on offer. We got plenty of enquiries and arranged a few consultations for this week. Here is a photo of our stand:

We have also been showing some of Coco Wedding Photography's work as we now offer a joint package with this established photographer giving couples ease with organising, peace of mind and great value for money.
Other suppliers that were exhibiting who particularly impressed us were Disco Magic and the hilarious Toastmaster Nigel Neve

One month left to vote for us!

Wow, were surprised and flattered when we got an e-mail from a bride, Debbie who's wedding we filmed in June saying how she thinks we deserve an award for our hard work and creativity for our wedding films. We then found out that suppliers can actually enter themselves for an award, which seems like a bit of a cheat, so we are over the moon that one of our brides took their time to nominate us.
To receive an award would mean so much for us, and motivate us to keep up the hard work so please please please vote for us!
The deadline to vote is 31st october 2011, and you can vote by clicking here.

Here are Ben & Debbie's highlights :

The wedding of David & Fiona

Just got back from a hectic day filming David & Fiona's wedding, it was literally non stop and I'm surprised how they dodged the heavy rain which was forecast for the day! We arrived at St. Mary's Church in East Lavant to be greeting by a laid back and friendly vicar who conducted a beautiful ceremony, making it intimate, personal but humourous at the same time. We then went onto Farbridge, a stunning converted barn with gorgeous views. The barn was converted immaculately and the staff were second to none! It was also a pleasure to work alongside Gary Hector from Hector Photography.

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!

Jodie & Dan's very rainy but amazing wedding!

Apparently it was the rainiest June day on record yesterday. But the sun came out occasionally so Jodie and Dan took advantage. We arrived at Jodie's Mum's house to film her prep shots, it was perfect conditions, a house full of excited bridesmaids and parents. Jodie couldn't wait to get in her dress which gave us plenty of time to get to the church to greet Dan and capture the guests arriving. Dan was pleasantly relaxed and looking forward to the day ahead. The ceremony went smoothly then we even managed to get some beautiful confetti shots and walked to their venue marching behind the New Orleans Echoes Jazz Band. Jodie & Dan had their reception at Jodie's parents house in a large marquee. It was cosey and intimate, with an unlimited flow of champagne topped with gold leaf. The bride and groom and their guests were having a great time, lots of laughter, jokes and canapes! Looking forward to the edit! Stills and highlights from their wedding video to come soon......

The Wedding of Ben & Debbie

Yesterday's wedding was epic! We arrived at the Felbridge Hotel to film the bridal preparations. Debbie was extremely relaxed and in a great mood. We got some great shots of the bridesmaids and parents getting ready and all the small details. From then we went onto the exclusive wedding venue, Ardingly College near Haywards Heath, West Sussex. It was an amazing day for wedding videography in terms of weather,  and everybody arrived knowing it'd be a great day.
Ben & Debbie's day was fun packed with games for the children and adults, quirky accessories and entertainment. Even the photographer, Amy (from Especially Amy) found herself constantly snapping away as the bride was suggesting numerous inventive 'poses'!
We continued filming their wedding up until the end, capturing the humourous speeches, first dance, guest messages and crazy dancing. They departed with Ben wheeling Debbie in a wheelbarrow with their guests standing around them with sparklers.
What a day!
