Lisa & Simon | Wedding Video Highlights at South Farm

July 21, 2010 Posted in Highlights, Summer Weddings, Wedding Film, Wedding Video

As we travelled towards Lisa and Simons home, the landscape transformed into an idyllic country setting. We were in rural Cambridgeshire – far away from the hubub of London life.

Lisa’s touches were everywhere – the flowers looked amazing – and her theme of brilliant pink and black looked classy and elegant.

The reception took place at South Farm – a distinctly different place, in Royston, Hertfordshire. We managed to get some footage of Lisa and Simons accommodation that night – a Romany Gypsy Caravan. Even the pigs and peacocks didn’t mind posing for the camera.

It was a tactfully emotional day for everyone that was there – I think the best part was watching Simon read from the gift that Lisa had made for him, which you will be able to see in the highlights.

Have a watch

Sharon & Paul | Highlights at Horwood House

June 18, 2010 Posted in Highlights, Summer Weddings, Wedding Film, Wedding Video

I think every wedding day is unique. There is always certain parts that are traditional, but most of what we film represents our couples interpretation on their once in a life time experience. Sharon and Paul put a great deal of hard work into the planning of their day, and the little details show this so well. They were married on a rainy day in May, but that didn’t stop them enjoying every part of it.There reception took place at Horwood House in Milton Keynes, a stunning character building dating back to the 1600′s.

You will be able to see from their highlights that it seems fair to say that everyone enjoyed their day and were proud and happy to be part of their special celebration. Sharon specifically requested that the song we used on her highlights. It seems to capture very well the essence of Mr and Mrs Johnson.

Jo & Ed | Wedding Video Highlights at Wellington Barn

June 8, 2010 Posted in Highlights, Spring Weddings, Wedding Film, Wedding Video

Jo and Ed were one of those couples who hadn’t planned on having a wedding film of their day. Ed is actually a wedding photographer and appreciates how important the photos are in a wedding. It is after-all, one of the few things you actually walk away with once the sun has set.

We met Ed while filming the wedding of Anna and Paul in 2009 and he was immediately drawn to the way we told their story. Not just another camera which is set to record but told in such a way that the viewer can really get drawn into their story. After showing Ed some more of our work he knew that he not only needed photos of his day but a film which can really compliment the photos by showing the vibe and atmosphere in a way photos cannot.

We were super excited about this shoot as we planned on using our new cameras far more than we had previously and knew that it could help us achieve shots and a look normally limited to Hollywood blockbusters.

The day was one to remember for all with Ed putting a hot lighter to his fresh wedding waistcoat and the supremely chocolaty cupcake tree they had for their wedding cake. In the evening the live band kept the dance-floor packed and for those of us with a serious case of the munchies there were fish and chips served in cones with little wooden forks. Om nom nom nom.

Sadly the day ended but they both have a unique memento of their day in their new highlights (and soon enough the main movie itself).

For anyone wanting to check out Ed’s work be sure to take a look at his website www.edclaytonphotography.co.uk.

June 10, 2010 - 9:17 pm

maria binasco - This completely looks like a Hollywood blockbuster quality movie. Amazing work. Whoever you create wedding videos for is so lucky!

June 9, 2010 - 9:36 pm

Naomi Allen - Ed did our wedding photographs and I couldn’t have been more pleased with them, glad my wedding was before his as I would have wanted you to do a video for me too if i’d seen that before our big day, if that clip if anything to go by then the full video will be stunning (p.s. Ed’s my baby brother!)

June 9, 2010 - 9:11 am

Anthony Calvey - I’ve just seen the short version of Jo & Ed’s Wedding and it’s fantastic….didn’t expect anything like the quality…you guys should be well chuffed with the result !!

Danny and Julie – Fab job again. Amazing choice of soundtrack and the very last shot (drawing away from the venue) worked so well.

Heena | Rock the Frock / Trash the Dress

June 3, 2010 Posted in Rock the Frock, Summer Weddings, Wedding Film, Wedding Video

Back in 2008 we filmed the wedding of Heena & James. A wonderful day which featured a number of wedding dresses. Shortly after the wedding James started his own wedding photography business, Carbon Rouge Photography and we stayed in touch.

We have always wanted to do a rock the frock session (also known as trash the dress) and when we mentioned this to James he told us that he too had the same desire and it just so happened that Heena was up for getting down and dirty in one of her wedding dresses.

So it was on, we had our model, we had our dress and we had more than enough enthusiasm to pull this off.

James found a wonderful venue just outside of London where Heena could wade through ponds, roll in the mud and make a lovely, painty mess.

James also brought along his camera to take a few photos which can only be described as stunning and really capture the dirty, grimey vibe of the day. You can view them on his website here and here. Also, here is a little layout James created from shots he took on the day where you can see me sporting my Steadicam.

We cant tell you how much we enjoyed this, its quite liberating being able to treat a dress in the exact opposite to how we treat it on the wedding day itself and it was great to see the reaction from passers by. When the day started and the dress was clean James and Heena were receiving congratulations from park visitors. Then, as the day went on and the dress became a bit more colourful people just looked confused

For many their wedding dress will sit in a box under the bed, never to see the light of day again. For Heena she got to wear it one last time and now has a work of art she could display. I also understand that she has received some offers to purchase the newly trashed dress.

WILD WEAR | FASHION PHOTO SHOOT

May 12, 2010 Posted in Fashion, Photos

We may be known for creating beautiful wedding films but on occasion we put our cameras into stills mode and take a few photos.

We were asked by up and coming fashion designer Heather Weller to take some photos of her latest work for an exhibition later this month.

Her collection is based on the movie, and popular children’s book ‘Where the Wild Things Are’. She named the collection ‘Wild Wear’ and when she showed us some of the pieces we were quite excited about how we could approach this shoot.

Although we were taking photos we wanted to give them a movie like feel. We had great fun stomping around Ashridge Park, getting into a leaves fight and swinging from trees.

You can get in touch with Heather and find out details about her exhibition on her Wild Wear Facebook profile.

COMING SOON | TRASH THE DRESS

April 26, 2010 Posted in Summer Weddings, Wedding Film, Wedding Video

“Mwahahahahaha!”. That’s the maniacal laugh you have on your face when you do a shoot like this because they are THE MOST FUN!!!! This, is a ‘Trash The Dress’ shoot.

Here is just a sneak peak for an upcoming film we shot this weekend with Heena and James. Heena wanted to do something with her wedding dress, something other than leaving it in a box in the loft.

Also keep an eye on James’ blog for photos from the day www.carbonrouge.com

Turn it up, turn it up loud!

Ellie & Alice

April 8, 2010 Posted in General Chat

Not our usual highlights this one

Today here in the UK its sunny, one of only 6 sunny days we will get all year. So a perfect chance to let our two lovely bunnys have a hop around the garden.

Being who we are what would a hop around the garden be without a little video.

So here they are, Ellie and Alice. Our two lovely buns.
