Jenny and Martin were recently married at Mount Ephraim Gardens in Kent. The weather behaved, it was a beautiful hot late summer’s day, just perfect for the wedding day.
I met Jenny and Martin back in January. It was a cold and wet miserable day but today was perfect. This was my second wedding at this fabulous venue so I was looking forward to it.
Louisa Dettmer and her husband Duncan were the photographers. Not having met them before, I introduced myself and we worked very well together throughout the day. It was a pleasure.
An owl brings the rings
Jenny and Martin had their wedding rings delivered to them mid ceremony by a white owl. The bird landed on Martin’s gloved hand as he was supposed to do. The moment when the owl took flight was a one-off moment so I ensured that each of my four cameras covered every part of the ceremony hall.
Having upgraded to the new Tascam DR10 microphones last year, perfect audio is always a certainty now. These small mics are expensive but audio for me is just as important as the video quality.
Martin’s family and friends had flown over from Denmark for the occasion. I recorded many guest messages to camera in Danish. Video messsages are always very popular with a wedding couple.
I always enjoy the long summer days. Maximum daylight allows me to make the very most of the light and having the guests outside ensures I can make use of the beautiful grounds at such a venue as this one. The setting sun lit up everywhere in a beautiful orange light which made everything look fantastic.
It really was a great day and hopefully, it won’t be too long until I can get back to Mount Ephraim Gardens.
