The Story of Katie & Chris x

“Everyone has loved the film 🙂 we’ve had so many messages from people saying they’ve cried at it!! 

Thank you so much” 🙂

Katie

Why did you pick Stirk House for your wedding?

We were recommended Stirk House and as soon as we arrived on Christmas Eve to look around we fell in love. I (Katie) have a bit of an obsession with fairy lights so the tree at the front sealed the deal! Dave, Danielle and the team could have not been more amazing and truly made the day even better.

What made you decide to have a wedding video?

Because we didn’t want to miss anything! The day goes so quickly (cliche we know!) and we wanted to make sure that we could remember everyone and everything that made our day so special.

We also loved the interview idea that we had seen from your previous videos so we could look back on some precious memories from our family and friends.

What are some of your favourite memories from the whole wedding experience?

We loved the whole experience of getting married. We were really laid back in planning which made for a much smoother day as we weren’t stressing about anything going wrong!

Katie – “Peeking out of the window, hidden behind the curtain and seeing Chris arrive in his suit. It’s when it hit me that it was really happening!”

Chris – “Seeing Katie walk down the aisle towards me thinking how beautiful she looked and trying to hold it all together for the ceremony”

What did you want most of all from your your wedding day?

A huge party! We just wanted everyone to have fun and enjoy themselves. We have friends and family from all over the place, a lot of whom have never met, so to get everyone together to celebrate was important.

 “It’s flawless, loved re living the day some of your best material

Matt

Why did you choose The Shireburne Arms & St Peters Church?

We picked the Shireburn because we loved the laid back vibe of it, the location within the ribble valley with the views & we thought it suited our theme of a rustic winter wonderland perfectly. We also fell in love with Sarah & the staff at the Shireburn who were super helpful & made the whole process really easy. The food is also amazing there too.

St. Peter’s was the closest Catholic Church to the Shireburn & was the most beautiful church we had seen. The drive up to Stonyhurst is so beautiful and Matt had worked their at the beginning of his career too & he had loved it so we thought it would be perfect. We thought the pictures would be lovely too.

What made you want to have a wedding video?

We definitely wanted a wedding video to capture every moment of the day. It goes so fast & there’s so much going on that we didn’t want to miss a second. We also wanted to be able to look back on it & watch the day over & over again.

Do you have a favourite memory form the whole wedding experience?

The whole day was just amazing. Favourite memories are walking into the church & seeing everyone & seeing Matts face. The speeches which were fab. Just having everyone around us there to celebrate with us. We loved every second of it. Seeing the room for me was also a highlight because it was perfect, exactly how I imagined it would look & more. It was the perfect setting for the perfect day.

What kind of day did you want to give your guests?

We wanted guests to feel comfortable, relaxed & chilled. We didn’t want anyone to feel like they were on their best behavior. We just wanted it to be really relaxed & for everyone to have the best time with lots of food, drink & dancing 🕺

A beautiful wedding In The Lake District with Mr & Mrs Kent x

“We absolutely love it!!! Thank you so much, Can’t wait to show everyone!”

Natalie & Lee

Tell us about the engagement?
Engagement was last March in Dubai, Lee surprised me with the tickets for my 30th birthday and proposed while we were out there 4 days later on our 2 year anniversary.
What made you choose New House Farm for your wedding venue?
We just knew we wanted to get married in a barn with lots of fairy lights and candles and when we drove to the lakes to look at the venue after finding it on the internet we just fell in love with it. And the area was beautiful.
Why did you want a wedding video?
We wanted a wedding video so we could remember the day in a way that photos can’t quite provide, seeing some of the bits we missed or just didn’t manage to take in. I’m looking forward to watching the ceremony back and especially listening to the speeches again as I can’t remember them! (The things photos alone can’t do).
What were your favourite memories of the whole wedding experience?
Hard to pin point favourite memories as it was all so amazing, but things that stood out; I loved getting ready with the girls in the morning, walking down the aisle and partying with everyone we love in the same room.

Emily & Joe: Weddings at Bartle Hall

manchester-wedding-video

Why did you choose Bartle Hall for your BIG DAY?

We chose Bartle Hall because it’s a beautiful setting and my parents got married here and it was a brilliant day. They did not disappoint, was a fantastic day and the staff couldn’t be better.

What made you want to have your wedding filmed?

We chose to have a wedding video because we thought it was an important thing to be able to watch the day back, sometimes there are things that photographs just can’t catch.

What was your favourite memory from the whole day?

My favourite memory would be walking down the aisle with both my dads to and Joe’s favourite memory would be when we walked into the wedding breakfast as Mr and Mrs Miller.

What experience did you want for your guests?

We wanted our guests to have the best day and enjoy themselves, which I believe they all did, it was the best day of our lives. 🙂

Chrissie & Ben: Weddings at Heaton House Farm

manchester-wedding-video

“Absolute masterpiece mate! Loved it so much and can’t wait to share” – Ben Langstreth (Groomy)

Why did you choose Heaton House Farm as your wedding venue?

The moment we walked into Heaton House we fell in love. The set up, the aspect, the whole family feel gave it a pull over anything we had seen… and we saw a fair few. The views speak for themselves, incredible and the added bonus of having our nearest and dearest able to stay on site to debrief over a classic English breakfast the next morning. We knew from deal with the Heaton House Farm team they would be a well oiled machine… and they delivered.

Why did you pick us to create your wedding film?
From one short conversation at a Heaton House Farm event where you discussed your own proposal we loved your character and enthusiasm. We knew instantly you would bring this to the video and be able to bring our special day back to life in the best manner. The interviews of course were just a genius bonus!

Tell us about the proposal?
It was a standard Friday (as far as Chrissie was concerned) and as per usual Chrissie was late leaving work. I had planned the day all out, having the ring delivered by Amy and having our new sofas delivered as a surprise. I did not account for Chrissie being one and half hours late Coming  home. Having paced the floor for all this time and not eating anything, she eventually arrived home and kept me waiting even longer while she finished her phone call. She did however notice something odd. I was in my best shirt! And there were the logos Of my parents dancing school where she trained growing up and at the swimming club where we swam together.
She came to the door and the tears instantly began (both of us)
The boodles pink ribbon created a time line of our time together from the menu of our first date, to pictures all up the walls of days out, to the match day ticket of when I asked her dad. This took us to the bedroom where some of her favourite things were placed, then I stopped to one knee and could only get out the words “well will you”. She did say yes and I re enacted since.
The sofa was no longer an important part of the surprise but was a great place to chat about the build up.

What experience do you want to give to your guests?

A relaxed environment where they could enjoy the venue and each other’s company so we could see smiling faces.
