Clare & Carl’s Wedding Photofilm!<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n

This is quite a special wedding for me for a number of reasons. Clare & Carl treated me like one of the family from the moment we met, I had an absolute blast with them and all of their friends, they bought me a beer when we first met (a perfectly legitimate reason to love a couple). But it’s also because their wedding was the birth of my Photofilms!

If you’ve been following my work for a while you will know that natural, unposed, documentary photography is what I’m passionate about. I believe that wedding photography shouldn’t get in the way or distract from your day. Ever since I launched my Silent Movies about 2 years ago, I’ve been trying to come up with the next step…

And it finally happened, a few weeks before Clare & Carl’s wedding. So I messaged them explaining my idea for a Silent Movie with Audio, or Photofilm as I now call them, and asked if they minded being guinea pigs for me… Fortunately, they trusted me and loved the results.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

“For people like us who wanted to hear people\u2019s voices during the important bits, but didn\u2019t want a full videographer it\u2019s perfect!” <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

– Clare & Carl<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

I knew I needed to take the same approach to record audio as I do with photography – unobtrusive. So, other than a small discrete mic, that is only worn during the ceremony & speeches, there are no other intrusions from me. It’s business as usual on the day – you do what you do and I’ll do what I do \ud83d\ude09

These photofilms are a new and unique way to remember your wedding. The best way I can describe them is “a mashup of documentary photography, stop-motion images, and recorded audio.” The best way for you to see what I’m talking about is to check out the video above \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Millbridge Court A Stylish, Exclusive Use Wedding Venue<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n

A restored 19th-century house on the Surrey – Hampshire border, surrounded by lush green fields and a wildflower meadow, Millbridge Court is one stunning wedding venue. Stylishly decorated throughout there isn’t much you need to do to this venue. There are also eight bedrooms plus a Hideaway cabin at the bottom of the garden. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Getting Wedding Ready at Millbridge Court<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Clare and her Bridal Party got ready in the Loft. It’s out of the way of arriving guests and has plenty of room for hair and make-up stations. Plus there’s a sneaky little one-way window which was really handy for spying on people downstairs.

The Hideaway is a cute log-cabin at the bottom of the garden. This is where Carl got ready, and where Clare & Carl would be spending their wedding night. With its own little deck overlooking the meadows and a free-standing copper bath, it’s a really cute place to spend your wake up on your first morning as a married couple.

Carl was a little nervous, but no more than is normal. Once ready we headed up to the house to meet the rest of the Groomsmen to hand out ties etc. One of Carl’s Ushers made the mistake of wearing camouflage on the stag do, and everyone ripped him for it. So, as a joke, Carl switched his tie, with a camo tie.

I left the boys having a beer in the sunshine and headed back up to Clare in the Loft. The atmosphere was electric, nerves and excitement were bubbling over… And the champagne was flowing nicely too! <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
