Lauren & James: Weddings at Thornton Manor

wedding-video-cheshire

Highlights from the beautiful wedding of Lauren & James

“Perfect thank you. We’ve just watched it now. It’s amazing. Can’t wait to see the full package now”

Why did you choose Thornton Manor for your wedding?

We picked Thornton Manor for the grounds and the manor house itself. We loved that it looked like it could be from a fairy tale.

What made you pick RTP Films to capture your BIG DAY?

I was recommended you by someone. I looked on your Facebook and liked the cinematic feel to them. We liked the way that the sound wasn’t necessarily what was on the screen at the time if that makes sense. The videos look really professional.

Do you have a favorite moment from the whole day?

Our favourite moment was probably when we got to walk in to the wedding breakfast as Mr and Mrs Round.

What experience did you want to give your friends and family?
The main thing we wanted was for everyone to enjoy the day. We wanted it to be very traditional during the day but a good party in the evening.

Congratulations guys and thanks for inviting us to your wonderful day , Ro & Lisa x

Kylie & Mabs: Weddings at Iscoyd Park

manchester-wedding-video

What made you choose Iscoyd for your wedding?

Iscoyd Park completely blew us away when we first visited, and every time we returned we fell more in love with it.   We had searched far and wide because although we were going for a civil ceremony, we still wanted a ceremony room that had character and was a beautiful space, which was initially a challenge. Iscoyd’s garden room was everything we hoped for and more.  Their fantastic team took care of all the little details and the day ran like a dream.

What reasons did you have for picking RTP films to record your day?

We were researching online and as soon as we saw the clips that RTP had produced we were just blown away by the quality of their films.  Each clip we viewed was consistently amazing and their work looked like something from a movie trailer. Roland and Lisa were absolutely brilliant on the day, so down to earth and also practically invisible which was something that was important to us!  The speed in which they produced an incredible ‘teaser’ for us right after the wedding is testament to their talent.

If you had to pick 1 favourite moment, what would it be?

Kylie:   standing at the front of the beautiful ceremony room with Matt as we’d just been announced as husband and wife and looking back at all of our loved ones as a ripple of cheers went through the room. It was incredible.

Matt:   I’d agree with that, plus seeing everyone spontaneously getting up off their chairs midway through the meal and dancing to Sweet Caroline!  We had a brilliant acoustic guitarist, Jai, playing in the background and as the drinks flowed everyone got a bit carried away between courses, which was hilarious.

What sort of experience did you want for your guests?

We wanted to create the feeling of an intimate ceremony and drinks reception, following by a very relaxed, party vibe for the wedding breakfast and evening.   It was all easy to achieve at Iscoyd, with the stunning tall windows and elegance of the garden room, which was later transformed by the band whilst we all dined next door.

Having a musical backdrop to the whole day was also very important to us.   Nero string quartet played for us at the ceremony and drinks reception, followed by Jai’s acoustic set, then on into the evening with the amazingly energetic party band Mad Hen, and finally late night dancing to classics played by our friend Graham ‘Lefty’ Newlands, the resident DJ at London’s Guilty Pleasures.

All in all we were thrilled with the way that the day unfolded.  Every last bit of planning was completely worth it!

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Roberts x Ro & Lisa

 

LUHAR /TORRES: Weddings at Thornton Manor, Cheshire

MASSIVE WEDDING VIBES…

Why did you choose Thornton Manor for your BIG DAY?

We chose Thornton Manor because it gave us the best of both worlds with two venues. Julio really wanted an outdoors in the woods wedding and I really wanted the history and grandeur of the house. When we first drove up to the house, I knew is was the venue I had always dreamed of.

What made you choose RTP Films to capture your wedding?

Having someone capture the best day of our lives was really important. It was such a busy day (as I’m sure you remember) that I knew I wouldn’t be able to memories everything. We met with a lot of videographers and it was really important to have a good connection as it is such a personal and special day. We wanted that emotion to be captured. As soon as my dad, mum and I met you, we knew you were the right guys for the job!

What were your favorite parts of the wedding?

The best part of my day was the first dance. It was the first time in the day everything began to sink it. Julio and I have had a rocky road getting to this place and the song ‘At Last’ summed everything up. We finally had each other after everything we had been through. 5 years of long distance was not easy!

How did Julio propose?

4. Julio knew that the most important part of my life is my incredible family. He came from New York to the UK to spend Christmas with my family for the first time. On Christmas Eve, we travelled back to Preston from London (where I work) and when we got home there was the biggest bunch of flowers. Julio, got down on one knee and had a whole speech prepared and I didn’t hear any of it because I just couldn’t stop crying! Straight after we had saw all the family and the weeklong of celebrations began.

Congratulations Chandni & Julio, thanks for making us feel so very welcome x

Claire & Paul: Weddings at The Belsfield Hotel, Cumbria

wedding-video-cumbria

Snow was predicted, Sun took it’s place for this beautiful wedding in The Lake District

1) Why did you choose The Belsfield for your wedding?

We have always loved visiting the Lake District and my grandparents had a boathouse in Bowness for many years so we loved the homely feeling that the lakes had for us. The Belsfield stood out immediately on our tour of the many venues that we had seen online. In fact, I think it was my Dad initially who had stumbled across the Belsfield when we started looking at venues. By coincidence Paul’s parents had stayed there many years ago too, well before the Laura Ashley refurb!

2) What made you want a videographer for your wedding?

We had been told by many of our married friends how fast the day goes so knew it was important for us to capture the day from beginning to end. We loved recently watching my parents wedding video and knew that was something we would want to be able to do in years to come.

3) What were your favourite parts of the BIG DAY?

Claire- I find it hard to choose … at the start of the day it would have to be the dress reveal to my Dad but I also loved spending the morning with my 3 best friends, mum and Paul’s mum getting ready, then I’d say mine and Paul’s entrance to the wedding breakfast to ‘You’ve got the love’ and all the cheering and probably the moment Ellie Sax came on – we all had so much fun dancing the night away!
Paul- hearing the string quartet begin Des’ree Kissing You & seeing Claire walk down the aisle, unexpectedly, actually enjoying delivering my speech & the moment after the first dance, when the confetti cannons went off & Ellie Sax setting the tone for the night!
(We could go on & on … readings during the ceremony, speeches, string quartet, mind reader, casino – we loved it all!)

4) How did Paul propose? (Gushy details are allowed)

Paul first planned to propose when we were on holiday in Thailand, only I fell poorly so he had to re think his plan for when we were home! We had a birthday weekend in Chester planned a month or so later. I love a good picnic & the sun was shining so we went to a beautiful park for the afternoon. Little did I know, why Paul insisted on carrying the picnic bag over his shoulder covering his back pocket which had the ring in! During the picnic Paul climbed onto one knee & asked if I would marry him… he said some lovely words too but I was so in shock so I don’t think I registered what he had said… (apparently I grabbed the ring out of his hand and said is this real) … of course I said yes and couldn’t wait to phone our friends and family who were delighted. I still remember now how genuinely happy everyone was for us, it was a lovely lovely feeling!!

Donna & Matt: Weddings at The Shireburne Arms, Lancashire

wedding-manchester-video-beautiful-rustic

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

yet, wouldn’t change anything your sir have done us proud thank you” 

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.

wedding-church-lancashire-winter-rustic

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 🕺

Anna & Jimmy: Weddings at Mitton Hall

manchester-wedding-video

1 word for this wedding…..Lovely!

“OH WOW Roland! We absolutely love it!!!  A few more happy tears again following that!

Every contact we have with you proves to us that our decision to chose you to be our videographer was absolutely the right choice! You are fantastic at what you do. Thank you so much! We really can’t wait for the final package! 
Thank you so much”
(Jimmy & Anna)

Why did you choose Mitton Hall

We looked at many wedding venues around the area but came back to Mitton Hall due the wonderful setting and decor which assured us that it could be enjoyed by everyone either indoors or outdoors irrespective of the unpredictable weather.  We primarily wanted a cosy autumn/winter feel to the day and Mitton provides that with it’s gorgeous log fires and comfortable atmosphere. 

What made you want to have a wedding video?

Family and friends advised us to take 10 minutes out of the day every now and again to take it all in as the “day goes so fast.”.  Whilst we tried to ensure we did this, the day did still seem to go extremely fast for us.  Knowing that we had a wedding video to capture the many magical moments that we undoubtedly missed put us both at ease.

What were your favourite memories of THE BIG DAY?

Walking down the aisle, seeing my gorgeous husband to be.  Looking round and seeing my stunning bride approaching down the aisle.  Seeing everyone that we love and care about together in the same room enjoying themselves.

Getting my speech over and done with (haha).

What experience did you want your guests to have?

A relaxed, warm, fun and friendly day where the guests could enjoy each others company and have a great time helping us celebrate our amazing day.

Absolutely incredible work! Every magical moment captured and presented in the most amazing way possible. We will be recommending you to anyone and everyone. You’re brilliant and such lovely people to be around. It was a pleasure having you there on our big day! Thank you Roland and Lisa! We will cherish our video forever and have already watched it numerous times! (Cried happy tears every time!) I just can’t put in to words how brilliant a job you have both done. Thank you. Anna and Jimmy. Xxx

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Mcmahon, thanks for having us x
