Louise & Scott: Weddings at Mitton Hall, Lancashire

manchester-wedding-video

July was a pretty mad month for us and sitting right in the middle of all the chaos was Mr & Mrs Connor who invited us to film their BIG DAY at Mitton Hall.

Louise and her bridesmaids set the tone for this wedding, all relaxed and calm in the morning, no stress at all, even when Scott turned up with his Best Man whose suit was 2 or 3 sizes bigger than he ordered, no one panicked at all (in fact, it got a few laughs).
Jonny Draper joined us on photography duties for this lovely Ribble Valley wedding and Liz Hendry provided some great tunes  as we all enjoyed some sun in the garden, piggy backs during the photo shoot is always going to end with at least a dirty knee or elbow.
DFC finished the day off with Pat Mulligan and The Tonics keeping the dance floor rocking all night after a wonderful summer wedding with a great couple, congratulations guys x

A few lovely words from Scott & Louise after receiving their film 🙂

Having a videographer was something we didn’t choose straight away. Wow we are so incredibly happy that we did. You will not be disappointed with Roland and Lisa. We absolutely love our video and adored the sneak peak we received the next day! They really capture the moment of the day and even moments we don’t remember. A pleasure to meet you both and enjoyed having you at our special day. Definitely recommend you both and having a video to remember such a special day. Thank you so much. X

Browsholme Hall Weddings: Kimberley & Mike

Manchester-wedding-video

Kimberley & Michael celebrated their BIG DAY with all family & friends at Browsholme Hall which is one of our favorite wedding venues deep in the Ribble Valley countryside.

The Bride & Groom enjoyed a perfect day with Ice Cream, Jenga  and one of the longest confetti lines we have seen, David Scholes joined us for the shoot, it’s always great working with David, such a relaxed and fun photographer who we had a blast with on the day. We had a full day of musical talent including Hannah Rose for the ceremony, the Kick Back Sundays  during the drinks reception and finally Hot Biscuit performed the First Dance and provided the evening dance floor entertainment.

Our friends at Creative Cover Hire & Brides Little Helper  12 Event Catering  provide the room decor and delicious food for all the guests.

Such a lovely wedding to film, Congratulations Mr & Mrs Downes x

Mitton Hall Weddings: Sophie & Luke

Sophie & Luke were so lucky with the weather on their special day in May, brilliant sunshine all morning for the ceremony in Darwen and just as we had thrown the confetti, the thunder cracked, the heavens opened and we had a down pour of hail and rain up until we arrived at Mitton Hall, perfect timing for the sun to show it’s face again for the rest of the day.

Joining us on ‘Image Capturing Duty’ was David Stubbs whilst Sam Fitton entertained the guests during the early drinks reception. Red Floral Architecture, Creative Cover Hire & Pink Frosting added their special touches to the stunning decor, the room looked absolutely beautiful for the Bride & Groom.

One of our favourite scenes (amongst many) was Nana on the dancefloor once DFC invited everyone to join Mr & Mrs Heath after the first dance (she’s in her 90’s and dancing to rap music).

We managed to send this teaser over to the happy couple on their honeymoon so they could enjoy it in the sun, here is their first response…

Hi Roland,
Oh wow! What a fabulous surprise, we absolutely love it thanks so so much!
And thanks once again for everything on the day 🙂
Thank you to Sophie, Luke, all their friends and family for having us and making us feel so welcome on the day, congratulations from Ro & Lisa x

Yorkshire Wedding Barn: Anjulee & Simon

The Yorkshire Wedding Barn was our destination for Anj & Simon’s BIG DAY, a stunning marriage venue situated in the country town of Richmond. We had a very early start to capture all the fun during the Bridal preparations. What an amazing group of Bridesmaids we had to film, singing their hearts out in the kitchen as the Bride was getting ready upstairs with the hair and make-up artists. The Groom was pretty calm in the morning, he was having fun with Smiler (Bestman) and the Ushers whilst Red Floral Architecture and My Something Borrowed gave the ceremony room a rustic transformation. It was great to work alongside Jemima Stubbs Photography who we had such a laugh with during the day and evening, thank you to all the staff at the barn and Ray Wade Catering for taking care of us.

Mr & Mrs Greenbank threw one hell of an amazing day but the icing on the cake (no pun intended) was the evening reception, it started off with a MAD DANCE by the newlyweds and then suddenly out of no where the Punjab Bhangra Crew  jumped on the dance floor and the party went through the roof!
Such a great wedding to film, having a couple who smiled non stop really made our job very easy, these Yorkie’s really made us Lanc’s feel very welcome, congratulations to you both 🙂

Great Hall at Mains Wedding: Hanna & Adam

The Groomsmen were pulling pints behind the bar as we started filming in the centre of Poulton on  a crisp Saturday in April, Jane & Jason from Flower Design fitted the buttonhole flowers to the boys whilst the guests arrived at St Chads Church. The soundtrack to their Big Day really set the tone thanks to Poulton Peoples Choir, we had dancing and clapping bridesmaids all through the service. Hanna arrived with her father and was greeted almost like royalty by the Poulton shoppers who wanted to grab a quick picture of  the Bride before she tied the knot.

A quick bus trip to The Great Hall after the ceremony and we were welcomed by one of favourite singers Paul Guard who entertained everyone through the drinks reception, breakfast and he even performed the first dance!

It was great to work alongside Katie & James from Fairclough Photography,  The Keytars Wedding Band on such an amazing wedding, Mr & Mrs Jarvis picked a perfect team for their wedding and it made it so easy for us film, one of our best memories is just how much Hanna & Adam smiled all day, it was an absolute pleasure to film this beautiful day, congratulations Mr & Mrs J x

Here is a quick message Hanna sent us after watching her full film…
Our video has arrived and we LOVE it!! We can’t wait for all our family to see it too as you have done the most incredible job of capturing the atmosphere and detail of the day!

Armathwaite Hall Wedding Videography: Gillian & Michael

A perfect day for a wedding deep in the Cumbria countryside is what we hoped for and this one did not disappoint.

Gillian & Michael’s Lake District celebration at the stunning Armathwaite Hall Hotel was such a joy to film, the sunny lakeside setting gave us a chance to capture many beautiful and natural scenes. The Groom was walking around the hotel very early in the morning greeting his guests and soaking up the wonderful atmosphere around Bassenthwaite Lake. Michael only just kept it together as his Bride walked down the aisle but a cheeky slap on the bum from his Bestman & brother took his mind of any tears for just long enough. The drinks reception had a lovely, relaxed vibe with the classical musicians playing whilst guests enjoyed Ice-Cream,Champagne & Sun Sun Sun.

Mike & Gillians children stole most of the day with a great rendition of ‘He never leaves the seat up’ and a great opening speech which you can see in the video below.

The children also joined them for their first dance and then the night kicked off with a Ceili Band & BBQ on the terrace as the sun set on this Glorious British Wedding.
Congratulations Mr & Mrs Peacock x
