This was possibly the most stunning churches we have filmed at. It was St. Peters Italian Chruch in Clerkenwell, London and my vocabulary would not do it justice. If you are ever in the area pop in just to see how stunning buildings can sometimes be inside. As with all London Weddings prior preparation is key. Logisitcs are always difficult there as moving kit into and out of the church, and then transferring it to the venue along with London's notrious parking problems always present us with challenges and why for us two camera operators are essential and the reason we charge a premium for London Weddings.
The groom did not want to wear the small Sony Broadcast radio microphone so we put this on the altar, with the fathers permission, and still got great audio, but not from our preferred pickup point, the groom. Again, overcoming these small but ever present challenges are all part of a cameramans life and why experience is the key to capturing your day. The ceremony itself was like being in a family enviroment and was without pomp and circumstance, just a young gifted italian priest welcoming everyone into his beautiful church. I don't think anyone could ask for more from a place to make a lifelong promise to one-another.
The reception was held at the Royal Institute of Architects. Again, the building was amazing with stylish lighting, excellent audio set up and 1st class staff. Whenever we edit a film there is always something that would have made it our best which we werent allowed or able to get, in this case the grooms audio feed, but whilst it was still good audio from our Sennheiser ME66 Gun Mics on the Camera, when you are used to the sound from the two Sony Broadcast radio mic's we use you can't help wishing you could use them all the time. Again, we always respect the wishes of all our clients as everyone is different and has their own tastes and comfort levels._______________________________________
