MICHAEL + LOREN LONDON WEDDING FILM

We loved filming this epic Coptic wedding officiated by Egyptian Archbishop Anba Angaelos, who you might recognize from Prince Harry and Meghan's wedding ceremony.  We've filmed many weddings within this wonderful community over the years.  It's always a feast for the eyes, from the beautiful and ancient traditions of the wedding ceremony, to some of the best dances moves and party in the evening, that we've filmed :) 

 

It's the first time we've shot a wedding film in the Royal Exchange, London and it was an epic wedding venue in every way, both inside and out!  This is definitely a wedding that we will never forget. Wishing you a wonderful future together Michael and Loren!

Filming this wedding was one of those experiences of a lifetime... When BBC reporter Catharina got in touch to see if we could film her wedding in Budapest, she didn't have to ask twice!  Catharina and Alexander had organised a wedding celebration which took place over four days, in order to make the most of what Budapest has to offer and what an incredible city it is!

 

Friday was the start of the official celebrations with a stunning Roast and Toast on the Savoy Terrace, taking place under Buda Castle, overlooking the river Danube and most of Budapest, with some of the best views the city has to offer.  As the guests arrived, storm clouds gathered above, and everyone, including us, were understandably anxious about the weather.  The storm ended up being one of the great highlights of the night, however, with an incredible lightening display streaking across the sky as the toasts took place.  It added to the magic and drama of an incredible place.

The ceremony took place the next day in the awe inspiring Matthias Church, with canapes and drinks taking place afterwards on one of Fisherman Bastion. Then it was onto the Corinthia Ballroom for the wedding breakfast and partying for the couple and their guests until the early hours!

Creatively it was a visual feast for the eyes from beginning to end, and to top it off the couple and their friends could not have been more welcoming or hospitable, so thank you Catharina and Alexander! We were very lucky to work with some of the very best in the industry, including photographer Becky Lee of Matt Porteous, Studio_M and wedding planner Dori from Budapest Wedding.  

We hope you enjoy Alexander and Catharina's wedding film.

The father of the bride’s speech at Jeff and Lara’s wedding was raw, beautiful.. and something that most fathers can probably relate to when giving their daughter away on their wedding day. We loved filming this wedding on so many levels and had a lot of fun with the drone that day as Notley Abbey is just as spectacular from the air, as it is from the inside! Please watch Jeff and Lara’s stunning wedding, below.

 

In amongst our lovely weddings this summer, we were asked by the organisers of the Alresford Music Festival to be their official videographer for the day.. Fast-forward a phenomenal festival including an amazing line-up of talent and all-round buzzing vibe (not to mention a lot of chucking about of the camera ;) and this is the end result!  Massive kudos to the team behind this event, who work tirelessly to make it what it is! 

 

Congratulations to Tom and Jess!  Wow, what a wedding... what a speech!!  We loved filming their special day at Penton Park.  Voted by the Industry Wedding Awards as he "Best Countryside Venue in the South and Central Region 2018",  this family home for three generations is a unique venue which provided an intimate and relaxed atmosphere that was perfect for Tom & Jess's wedding.  Thanks Tom and Jess for inviting us to film your beautiful day. 

 

With the summer season in full swing, we have some truly incredible news to announce!

We are extremely honoured to share we're now on the official list of preferred wedding suppliers at Blenheim Palace! This national treasure lies in the heart of Oxfordshire and is a World Heritage site as well as the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill!

Is it just us or is 2018 already flying by?!  Last year was no different and we were kept very busy with a fantastic array of weddings! 

As well as producing bespoke Wedding Films we have also been lucky to film for many companies over the years including Sky MobilePenhaligonsCosmos MusicOrange Crush Digital and broadcasters such as the BBC and Channel 4We've also filmed for various charities and were thrilled to be approached by the Murray Parish Trust last year, to interview actors Sarah Parish and James Murray for Meridian News.

The Murray Parish Trust are raising £4 million for a brand new Paediatric Emergency & Trauma Department (A&E) based in Southampton to cover the entire South of England and The Channel Islands. 

We joined them at Teddy Bears Picnics - a week-long Ginormous Fundraising event on behalf of The Murray Parish Trust.

Last weekend we had the pleasure of capturing James & Carly's Christmas inspired wedding at the beautiful Cowdray House in Sussex. Set in 110 acres of private gardens, grounds and parklands, this beautiful Tudor Manor was the perfect retreat for a winter ceremony and definitely got us in the festive spirit. We love a Christmas wedding and with a pallet of rich festive colours, an intimate candlelit dinner and of course a marvellously decorated Christmas Tree , we wish James and Carly a lifetime of happiness as they go into the New Year.

Having their reception in the magnificent Buck Hall was just one of the breathtaking, picture perfect moments of James & Carly's wedding and we would recommend everyone to visit this stunning family home! 

We're currently in the editing process and can't wait to show you this and other incredible weddings from 2017! Merry Christmas!
