Looking back recently at a few older wedding videos I’ve produced over the years, I remembered the wedding of Rebecca and Guy I filmed in 2019. The venue was the Boughton Golf Club at Boughton-under-Blean but has since changed names to The Cave Hotel and Golf Resort.
I filmed a wedding there last week and despite the name change, I was certain I had worked there before. Everything seemed different until I recalled a little hill nearby that I had used to capture a fantastic rainbow arcing over the venue. You can see that in the video. Yes, I was soaked to the skin afterwards but the opportunity was too good to ignore. It was one of those days….sunny one moment, pouring with rain the next. I felt that shot of the rainbow and the light in the sky said it all.
Direction
It’s a good thing looking back at my past work. I can see that my shooting and editing style continues to evolve. That tells me that I’m constantly looking to improve. Sometimes, I notice that I’ve moved in a direction that could benefit from one or two styles from the past and I’ll revisit that period to understand why and how to incorporate it into a whole.
Looking back at this video, I’m pretty well pleased with it five years later. I would make a couple of changes though. The couple’s voices during the vows need to be a little more prominent which means the background music has to drop so it becomes exactly that. Background.
Bruce Middlemiss was the photographer on that day and he is still out there creating wonderful work. Watching this highlight video confirms how magic is created when you work with a good photographer as a team even if you’ve only just met. It’s something I strive for at every wedding I attend as a videographer.
