This was a bit of a special wedding as the Groom Phil was Michael's brother, making Michael also the best man on the day, so filming this wedding was going to be a bit different than usual.
With Michael tartened up in a kilt and Alice in high heels as wedding guests, filming this beautiful scottish wedding in St.Andrews was a challenge, although is there no lovelier thing that to get to film all the people you love on such a happy day? The church ceremony was in beautiful little church in Crail, where the Bride Nicole had a holiday home and so it held great sentimental value. All of the family and friends stayed up in Crail and partied on in a beautiful festoon lit barn with shabby chic aspects glittered around to add a bit of DIY creativity to the already gorgeous venue. With ice-cream vans, mini golf course (made by the grooms father) and Irn Bru favors, the wedding was filled with lots of little details to reflect the couple. Ending with a great wedding band, lots of Cèilidh's and other unknown dance moves, the day was truely one to remember.
Where to even start with this dreamy french wedding? We had the pleasure of flying over to one of our favorite cities, Paris to film a romantic and stylish wedding at Château de Bourron in Fontainebleau, just outside Paris. Laura & James got to celebrate after 7 years of being together with their gorgeous daughter and closest family and friends. Although the rain descended upon the breathtaking Chateau throughout the day before a beautiful sunset; Laura & James got to make their emotional and personal vows outside in the serenely calm gardens just before the sparkling downpour. Guests celebrated with delicate french cuisine and champagne in the 17th Century Chateau's array of rooms with heart touching speeches, before trickling down to a secret basement for the party. Oh boy was it a party! The Band The Imaginations sang all night to a whirl of dancing, confetti, delicious profiterole wedding cake, champagne fountains and lots more dancing. It was a dream come true to film in such a spectacular venue and to celebrate such a fabulously in love couple.

Where to start with this one? Amber & Peter oozed so much love, fun and laughs during their wedding that we ended up staying until the lights were turned off in their marquee in the early hours. They got married in the lovely St.Marys church in Blackhill and proceeded away from the church in a vintage convertible onto the Derwent Reservoir where Amber's Grandad used to work and where the question was popped. They had taken over the Emmaus Youth Village and built a marquee on the top of a hill that looked across the whole Derwent Valley - just stunning. The work put into every little detail in their DIY wedding venue added to the beauty of the day. Not only did we film and photograph the day but Michael also played with his band in the nighttime for their ultimate dancing music and boy did people dance! You can see from the film itself the fun and love had during this amazing wedding day!
We instantly fell in love with these guys who invited us in so warmly to their day. Laura & Andrew are so obviously in love, it kept tears in our eyes throughout the day and even in the editing process. The sun popped out at the perfect time to shine on the beautiful Mediterranean feeling garden of Le Petite Chateau (palm trees included) with perfectly chosen music, cocktails and laughter filling out through the day. With giggles, constant smiling and a lots of happy tears (ourselves included) these guys ended with dancing to a whole new level with the ultimate playlist, coordinated with fly moves and singing that has us dancing along. You'll want to be best friends with these guys after seeing them together, we certainly do!
Big shout out to our new pal Amy who was the photographer we got the pleasure of teaming up on again for this wedding. Check her out here: www.amylouphotography.co.uk
This was possibly the most perfect wedding venue we've seen with a beautiful old priory church encased by a tranquil woods and river. With a few steps from the church a tipi reception sat perfectly by the river with twinkly fairy lights, amazing hanging wild flowers and a cozy fire amongst the beautiful details Laura planned so perfectly. The day was filled with stunning food, northern soul dance class, colourful smoke bomb walks and of course more dancing.

Sarah & David's city centre wedding at one of our favourite venue s As You Like It was surrounded by lots of twinkly fairy lights, happy tears, confetti canons, sparklers and a sex and the city reading along with French prince bridesmaid rapping. Throughout all this the love between Sarah & David stood out the most, ending in an amazing array of top class wedding dancing.
Natalie & Michael's beautiful wedding was set in the tranquil Lake District surrounded by snow topped mountains and sun rippled lakes. With a picturesque outside wedding by the water, the day continued on with perfect views, laughter and plenty of saxophone dancing.
Jess & Stephens wedding was filled with so much fun and quirkyness from the beginning. With their boho style they both oozed cool from their personalities, wedding attire to decor of wild flowers that took over the shabby chic and vintage As You Like It ending with possibly the best craziest first dance we've seen!
