Jade and Chris were recently married at the Three Rivers Golf and Country Club in Cold Norton, Essex. On what was a beautiful English summer’s day, the happy couple enjoyed the perfect wedding and we were there to capture it for them.
I don’t normally travel across the Thames but this wedding was an exception. Jade and Chris had tried to book me three times, however I was unavailable on each occasion. Then the pandemic began and that changed everything for everyone.
Dates were cancelled and rearranged and on her fourth attempt, I was free to film their wedding day. How could I not do so when she had tried so many times to book me?
I decided to travel up the day before and booked into a small hotel so I would be fresh for the big day. Avoiding any potential traffic on the motorways also played a big part in that decision.
Arriving bright and early on a typical but hot summer day, I set up the cameras and we were good to go.
The wedding day!
Marcus Howlett was the photographer for the day, a nicer guy you couldn’t meet and we worked like a dream together. That is always a massive pleasure for me.
The wedding took place outside in a pergola. This is always a test for any videographer as it is a confined space with a shady interior and a very bright exterior. You need to know your cameras and you definitely need to know your craft. How do you ensure the subjects remain well lit in this situation? That is indeed where knowledge plays a big part and is also a definite no to auto settings on any camera. It won’t do at all.
I can say that the ceremony came out the way I wanted it to as did the rest of this fantastic day. Jade and Chris were the perfect hosts. After all this time, I am so pleased to have said yes to her request.
Any questions you might have regarding your upcoming wedding, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
