Gemma & Kieran’s wedding took place at Our Lady of The Sacred Heart Catholic Church. They had a full Catholic Service after which the reception was held in the grounds of Gemma’s parent’s house in a glorious marquee. The photographers on the day were the talented Ian & Jo of Storybook Weddings.
It was our second year running at Twinwood Festival and this year the acts and crowds were even bigger. Using our latest purchase, the Libec Swift Jib with it’s extendable telescopic arm, we were able to capture shots from ground view sweeping upto heights overlooking the crowds. Utilising the remote head of the Swift Jib, a huge range of shots could be captured of the live performances which all went towards creating a finished film that encapsulates the energy and variety of shows on offer at Twinwood.
Rowton Castle is a perfect setting for a wedding. Set amongst the stunning scenery of the Shropshire countryside it offers the perfect backdrop to that ‘fairytale’ wedding.
Holly and Tom had exclusive use of the venue and their Civil Ceremony took place in the glorious Cardeston Suite of Rowton Castle. The photographer for the day was Gary Williams of Gary Williams Photography. It’s always a pleasure working with Gary as his unique reportage style assists me in capturing all festivities as naturally as they unfold, allowing me to give a true representation of the wedding day.

Tracey & Greg were married earlier this year in the spectacular setting that is Highclere Castle, the film location for the Golden Globe winning drama, Downton Abbey. Highclere Castle offers sumptuous locations both interior and exterior. The wedding was going to be a feast to the eyes and an excellent setting for my new equipment. Having purchased the latest state of the art cinematography cameras that Sony has to offer, allowed me to film and do justice to what was on offer. Being able to film upto 960 frames per second is great for capturing super slow-motion shots of those confetti moments!
The Lamours are a 13 piece band fronted by the talented Lola Lamour. Zeus Films were commissioned to film their debut performance in front of a sellout audience at Twinwood on May 12th. Just prior to their performance we wisked the band away from rehearsals and started filming footage for their new music videos. The energy and ability of all members to perform their routine meticulously to camera and with all the nerves and anticipation for their performance fast encroaching was overwhelming. With a further days shoot in Stratford-upon-Avon and amongst the Cotswolds countryside, all footage was edited into the music videos shown below.
Earlier this year Katie & John were married at Our Lady of Peace Parish in Buckinghamshire with the reception held afterwards at The Tudor Barn. During a glorious March day, the sun shone from early morning and throughout the drinks reception where guests were entertained in the glorious landscaped gardens at The Tudor Barn.
Having filmed the best man’s wedding several years ago, it was great seeing Stephen and Sian again, having flown over from Atlanta. Not only did the best man fly from afar but guests attended from all over the world to celebrate with the couple. Travelling from as far as New Zealand, Australia, Berlin, Switzerland, Canada, Madrid and not forgetting Ireland. It truly was an international guest list.
Rachel & Ryan were married on a festive winter’s day during a civil ceremony at the stunning Georgian manor house that is Gosfield Hall. Gosfield Hall was the perfect setting for the wedding with the couple having exclusive use of the house and grounds. Several years ago Zeus Films filmed Ryan’s sister’s wedding and Ryan’s best mans wedding, so it was great seeing so many familiar faces in attendance at Gosfield Hall. The photographer on the day was Ben of Lavenham Photographic.
Ketan & Reena were married at The Ramada Park Hall Hotel, West Midlands. Zeus Films were commissioned to film and cover all the events taking place. Starting off with all the preparations and then onto the energetic procession of the groom lead by the dhol player to be welcomed by Reena’s parents. The Hindu Marriage Ceremony was meticulously performed as always by the Hindu priest Rajendra. The Vidai Ceremony was especially poignant as Reena would be leaving to start a new life in the USA but the solemn atmosphere would only last a short while as the room, which was transformed by the unique touch of Mistique Events, would erupt with energy as Ketan & Reena accompanied by all their guests celebrated the night away. Working with Hina of Hina Photography is always a pleasure. Her eye for great composition comes naturally and along with her sidekick Louis are able to capture the day with a unique and creative style.
