Brian and Caroline’s wedding highlight video by East Kent Wedding Video.

Brian and Caroline were married at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic in September 2020. For me as a wedding videographer, I was more than grateful that they chose me to film their wedding even though it was one of only three that year. You may remember that weddings were restricted to a maximum of fifteen guests. I personally think it was a brave decision on their part to go ahead given the restrictions.

Brian and Caroline had their wedding at St Peter and St Paul church in Saltwood, not too far from Hythe in Kent. Their ceremony was held at the Hythe Imperial Hotel on a grey autumn afternoon. I never let the weather become an obstacle when filming and I’ll use it as an advantage and that’s what I did.

The first dance …or not.

The pandemic rules restricted the amount of guests to fifteen which was fair enough but we were then informed that a first dance was not allowed. Why? Nevertheless, I wasn’t going to be thwarted. Brian and Caroline were naturally upset because the first dance is a big part of any wedding day so I asked Brian if he had the first dance song on his phone. He did. On impulse, I took the couple down to the beach and that is where they had their first dance. Never say never. Big smiles all round. It always pays to think outside the circle.

Camilla Harney was the photographer for the day. I love working alongside Camilla. We have built up a third sense on the several occasions we have worked together and always look out for each other.

The pandemic was a tough time for everyone. I was lucky to have the chance to film three weddings that year. It got me through by the skin of my teeth and hopefully we never get to experience those days again.

Any questions you might have regarding your upcoming wedding, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
