A Cheshire wedding film — with a vintage police car!

Posted on January 21, 2013 by Claire Gould

Good morn­ing! How was your week­end? I hope you sur­vived the snow… and had some fun play­ing in it too! Back to wed­dings now, and I have an absolute cracker to begin the week with. Zoe and Mark’s Cheshire wed­ding has bags of char­ac­ter and is guar­an­teed to make you smile. Zoe is beau­ti­ful, they make a fan­tas­tic cou­ple and the wed­ding film will bring a tear to your eye… I should men­tion it’s by the lovely Craig at Unfor­get­table Mem­o­ries.

I’m shar­ing this wed­ding in two blog fea­tures, this morn­ing and tomor­row (there’s some­thing VERY spe­cial and excit­ing on the way this after­noon at 4pm in between!) — the wed­ding film is sim­ply amaz­ing, and I’ve shared a lit­tle of Zoe’s wed­ding report with you here. My huge thanks to Jonny Draper Pho­tog­ra­phy for shar­ing the lovely images of the day with us all today.

New sponsor welcome: Deneemotion wedding films

Posted on September 18, 2012 by Claire Gould

There are always hun­dreds of things hap­pen­ing at Eng­lish Wed­ding Blog — one of the loveli­est is that I have Deneemo­tion wed­ding films as my newest blog spon­sor. Denis and Max have joined my select group of spon­sors this autumn and I’m delighted to have them on the team.

Deneemotion’s approach to film­ing & edit­ing is cre­ative and free of cliches. Their approach is fresh and inno­v­a­tive, and their wed­ding films are sen­si­tively and beau­ti­fully made. Denis and Max are based in Lon­don, but have filmed in Cal­i­for­nia, the Caribbean, Croa­tia, France, Cyprus, Ire­land and Scot­land so far. They’re hot prop­erty, hav­ing fea­tured on many of the top wed­ding blogs around the world!

Thornton Manor wedding film — with dinosaur story

Posted on June 20, 2012 by Claire Gould

A quick, sim­ple and very beau­ti­ful wed­ding blog post for you this morn­ing every­one — Aaron from Reel Wed­dings emailed me with a lit­tle com­pli­ment about my cal­lig­ra­phy and this lit­tle mes­sage “thought I’d send you this lit­tle email to see if you wished to pop this film on your blog. It’s a lit­tle bit vin­tage and 60s inspired with a chilled and relaxed day with lots of shots of the sun. We like the sun. We miss it.”

I miss it too. But it’s lovely to remem­ber what it was like! More to the point this is the most delight­ful lit­tle wed­ding film from one of my favourite venues. The story of the ‘other lovely dinosaur’ sets a light­hearted and roman­tic tone, and every­thing about Car­o­line and Warren’s wed­ding appeals to me — I’m still smil­ing to myself, ten min­utes after watch­ing their wed­ding film.  Read more…

This might make you cry a little!

Posted on January 5, 2012 by Claire Gould

wedding film by Marry Me Films Morn­ing every­one. Pens down for a sec please: I’m very happy to say it’s movie time!… and I’m going to make you cry. There’s a split sec­ond glance in this lit­tle wed­ding film that tells me Jane and Steve both knew they’d be in tears — and they are. It’s beau­ti­ful to watch though, and I love see­ing a groom cov­ered in happy tears! The film is by the ever-so-lovely Marry Me Films

The Wed­ding Film of Jane & Steve at Iscoyd Park from Marry Me Films on Vimeo.

Wed­ding high­lights to watch out for:

  • Jane looks gor­geous in a beau­ti­ful, figure-hugging strap­less dress.
  • Steve’s nerves build from the very begin­ning — but when he sees his bride, your heart will melt! And from then on, the smiles don’t stop.

What a wonderful thing love is…

Posted on December 1, 2011 by Claire Gould

Lau­ren and Pat’s Wed­ding High­lights from Love Gets Sweeter on Vimeo.

A lit­tle some­thing spe­cial for today — 3:44 min­utes of romance with Lau­ren* and Pat’s lovely wed­ding fea­ture film from Love Gets Sweeter. I love blog­ging wed­ding films like this — it’s won­der­ful to sit back, turn my speak­ers up, grab a bis­cuit (just to hold) and smile, gig­gle and cry a bit along with the movie!

High­lights of this wed­ding film for me (and for you to watch out for):

  • Hubert the dog is so cuddleable
  • the boys cycling their way around Lon­don (a bit wibbly)
  • Lauren’s fab­u­lous dress by Enzoani is amaz­ing on her! Prop­erly elab­o­rate and beau­ti­ful — and on such a gor­geous bride it looks incred­i­ble. Watch for the swish­ing through the park…

Romance, tears, kilts and sunsets

Posted on November 7, 2011 by Claire Gould

Neil Wed­ding Video– Heaton House Farm Cheshire from silk wed­ding videos on Vimeo.

This gor­geous wed­ding film by Silk Wed­ding Videos needs very lit­tle intro­duc­tion. A beau­ti­ful bride in a ruf­fled wed­ding dress; her gor­geous (and tear­ful) groom in kilt and sporren; an idyl­lic Cheshire loca­tion and about as loved up as a wed­ding video can be.

Wed­ding video highlights:

  • the adorable brides­maid watch­ing prepa­ra­tions in the morning
  • tears from the groom and his heart­warm­ing vows
  • a lovely Scot­tish accent and bag­pipers to go with it!
  • dogs in col­lars made of roses. Eat your heart out Tamara!

Enjoy x

Thanks to Tom Har­ring­ton of Silk Wed­ding Videos for shar­ing. Here’s the link to his offi­cial web­site at www.silkweddingvideos.co.uk and to the Silk Wed­ding Videos chan­nel on Vimeo — http://vimeo.com/silkweddingvideo — you’ll love it.

Real wedding film from Thornton Manor

Posted on October 7, 2011 by Claire Gould

Vic­to­ria and David’s wed­ding is gor­geous — when Sara and Tony from Marry Me Films got in touch I instantly fell in love with this film from their Thorn­ton Manor wed­ding. Vic­to­ria is a real Eng­lish beauty, and her wed­ding dress cov­ered in lace and sparkles is really, really lovely.

So today’s blog post is a quickie for me to write! Enjoy the wed­ding film — Paul Weller pro­vides the roman­tic sound­track by the way — and watch out for that first view of the mag­nif­i­cent ceil­ing* inside Thorn­ton Manor. You’ll also be impressed, I think, by Vic­to­ria and David’s six tier wed­ding cake. Yes — six tiers! Wow…

The Future of Vintage: reprise

Posted on May 5, 2011 by Claire Gould

Yay! I’ve been wait­ing to see this piece of film about The Future of Vin­tage bridal photo shoot I fea­tured last week on Eng­lish Wed­ding. Into my inbox it popped yes­ter­day and it’s bril­liant! (Lit­er­ally! — those colours… that sunshine…)

The Future Of Vin­tage Shoot from silk wed­ding videos on Vimeo.

Tom Har­ring­ton — pre­vi­ous star of his own engage­ment shoot on Eng­lish Wed­ding — is the direc­tor of Silk Wed­ding Videos in Man­ches­ter, and was a big part of The Future of Vin­tage shoot at Styal Lodge.

“The future of vin­tage shoot was great fun to be involved in and an excel­lent oppor­tu­nity to get some of the very best names in the wed­ding indus­try together to do what they do best!

Our Vlog Preview

Posted on April 29, 2011 by Claire Gould

Days to go: 7

I’m up early today. No, not because of the other wed­ding but because I con­stantly have but­ter­flies in my tummy about my wed­ding. In a week’s time I shall be show­ered and break­fasted and the hair and make up artists will have arrived and the party will be get­ting under­way. How is this time here already?

I thought I’d share with you a lit­tle some­thing that landed on my twit­ter feed this morn­ing from good ole’ Jeff, our video­g­ra­pher. He says he has lots more footage to share with us from our strange expe­ri­ence of cre­at­ing an engage­ment video/time cap­sule thing, but here’s a pre­view of what’s to come!  Read more…

A real wedding: oh so peaceful until…

Posted on April 2, 2011 by Claire Gould

Noth­ing con­veys the atmos­phere of a wed­ding day more than a lit­tle music, and that’s why I love watch­ing wed­ding films. This one’s a spe­cial treat though, as Cristina and MP’s Aviemore wed­ding film really matches the music to the rapidly chang­ing spirit of their wed­ding day!

From the mad­cap crazy antics of the boys get­ting ready to the seren­ity and quiet excite­ment of the girls’ prepa­ra­tion in the morn­ing, to the wed­ding vows in church and then the party after­wards, the film by Love Gets Sweeter cap­tures the moments and accom­pa­nies them in style.

Char­lene from Love Gets Sweeter warned me the music is “a bit mar­mite” and I was intrigued. Turns out I bloody love mar­mite! I think you might just love this too… takes a bit of tal­ent to fit a wed­ding film to a sound­track like this one but it’s beau­ti­fully done!  Read more…
