Chloe and Callum were recently married at Northbourne church near Deal in Kent. A lovely couple, I had been waiting all year to film their wedding video for them.
I arrived at the church bright and early to check out the church interior to ensure the light was good. It was perfect so I set up the cameras and waited for everyone to arrive. It’s important for me to film guests as they arrive, especially the groom and his best man.
Although this wedding was fairly local for me, I had attended the rehearsal the day before as I hadn’t met the couple until then. It’s always a good idea to attend the rehearsal as it allows me to meet the vicar. In this case, he had been concerned that the photographer and myself might decide to walk around during the ceremony. I assured him that wouldn’t happen and he allowed me to film from the front.
The ceremony was perfect, the light was ideal and audio was spot on. Sometimes it’s challenging to get perfect audio in a church as echo can often be annoying but I miced the groom on his lapel. No problem at all.
The reception.
Once the church ceremony was over, we all headed to the reception at Chloe’s nearby farm in Deal. A special mention should go to Lucy Faulkner from Lulu’s Photography who provided the stills for the day.
I hadn’t met Lucy before but she was a delight to work with. I always try to work well with the photographer and she made that easy.
The weather was fantastic so filming the outside activities gave me plenty of exciting shots and I made the most of it. The guests were lively and that’s a bonus for me when that happens. When they play for the camera, I will always encourage that and they did. Fabulous!
I certainly enjoyed Chloe and Callum’s wedding, it’s a shame that every wedding is basically a one-off.
