Unfortunately, the vicar in this particular church did not allow filming of any kind, or even the sound recording of the vows so we were restricted to footage after the ceremony. As we arrived towards the end of the ceremony to capture the outside of the church and get set up we could hear Ave Maria being sung by a truly angelic vocalist. We were both gutted we weren't allowed to capture it. With every wedding there are obstacles to your filming and with experience you learn where they are and how to tackle them. In this case filming was just not allowed and we of course always have to respect the wishes of not only the Bride & Groom but all official involved in the day.

Afterwards, the reception was held at Wentworth Golf Club which was a truly stunning place to film. The weather was perfect and the bride and groom took golf buggies and messed around Wenworth for 30 minutes. The Breakfast room looked like a state banqueting hall and throughout the day we just kept rolling. The band 'Fun Monkies' played well into the wee hours. For us the lighting and sound were perfect and we came away with probably one of our best films. The icing on the cake would have been the ceremony, but you cant win them all!

When capturing the first dance and
during the dancing with the band we used a Camera 'Top Light' in this case a PAG C6 to minimise the amoint of 'Gain' we have to use with degrades the quality of your film. In the final few scenes when Steve spins Phillipa around we are using our Steadicam rig for ultra smooth camera movments with the second camera lighting. The Showreel was encoded using a high contrast Black & White 'crunch'.
