Demi and David were recently married at Stonelees Golf Club near Ramsgate in Kent. I had booked this lovely couple a year ago and met them at the venue. I hadn’t filmed there before and there was a slight cause for concern on my part.
The pergola, where they were to be married, backed onto water. This was an issue for me as it meant I couldn’t have my main camera outside the periphery of the structure. I would have fallen in to the small lake!
Why I always arrive early.
Returning to the venue a week before the wedding day, I had to have another look. Some test video shots and audio recordings were taken. I don’t like to be inside the pergola as space is usually tight and I also don’t want to appear in the other shots.
Using clamps on the upper rails for two remote cameras solved the problem so I set them up an hour before the ceremony which fixed the problem.
There was one other issue. A noisy fountain in the middle of the lake about ten yards behind the pergola would have sounded dreadful in the audio recording. Thankfully, after raising that fact, the venue manager turned it off for the ceremony. All was good to go.
Sam Jones was the photographer for the day. Our paths had not crossed before but wow…she was an absolute delight to work with. There are many fabulous wedding photographers in Kent and Sam made my day an absolute breeze. We worked so well together, recommending shots to each other when needed. We looked out for each other which is as it should be.
Demi and David had the very best of an English summer’s day. This couple were made for each other. Everything went like clockwork throughout the day and before I knew it, the sun was beginning to set.

Being a golf course, Sam and I were allowed to use two golf buggies to take Demi and David to a few scenic spots for photos and video. With the setting sun, it was a perfect scenario.
Demi and David are the type of couple who make my job so easy and it was an absolute delight and a privilige to film their wedding for them.
