The most exciting for me personally, and the most life-changing, is the news that I proposed to my girlfriend Kate. She said ‘Yes’. Phew! It’s funny that the first question people asked (after saying ‘Congrats’) was
‘did you film the reaction?’,
and the second was
‘how are you going to film your own wedding?!’
I won’t go into the details of how I proposed, but I will reveal that it included 70+ roses, a haribo ring, well-planned timing, and a very nervous moi! (n.b. the haribo ring isn’t a permanent fixture!)

Next up, I’ve woken up on this snowy morning, to find out that FX Films has just won the title of ‘Best Wedding Videographer’ in the 2010 Wedding Supplier Awards (‘The Bridal Magazine‘). We’re all utterly chuffed, and v.thankful to everyone that voted. According to The Bridal Magazine, there were 28,000 votes from start to finish.

And to end on a clip, I’ve just completed a mini-promo for ‘The Trained Eye‘ (a photography training company who run courses and academys). It’s short and sweet, and contains footage I’ve shot on separate days, and includes vox-pop testimonials from a couple of their successful students:

Wow, exciting!!!

So, if you like our work, or think we are worthy of such an award, then we’d love you to take 2 seconds out of your day to click on the picture to vote for us! No pressure…none at all…honestly

Just over a year ago, FX Films (www.fxfilms.co.uk) and Lime Leaf Weddings (www.limeleafweddings.com) gave Hitched.co.uk their biggest competition prize to date: a combined and full wedding cinematography + photography package!

With over 1200 correct entries into the competition, we were completely overwhelmed.  As were our competition winners, Claire and Kevin

Creative Director

To purchase a copy of this wedding DVD, you can use paypal (which accepts debit/credit cards), but before sending it out we will double-check with the bride and groom that they know you.

One random winner was selected from the 1200+ correct entries.

So ‘WELL DONE’ to Claire Jewiss, who has just bagged herself a ‘Simplicity’ (cinematography + photography) Package, for her wedding next year.

You can read more about National Smile Month and the importance of perfecting your smile for your wedding day here, and you can enter this fantastic competition on the hitched website here.

We had some brilliant entrants, all unique, all perfect, all great-looking, and all with their own heart-warming reasons for entering.

One lucky winner was chosen, however, she wishes to remain anonymous until the photo/film shoot is all finished, so that she can surprise her husband-to-be, family and friends with it!!

Below are photos of the entrants we felt were very close to the finishing line:

Thanks to all those that entered.

More details of our combined and specialist photo/film shoots, with LimeLeafWeddings, will be up on both our websites shortly.

FX Films and Lime Leaf Weddings together will be providing a new addition for 2009 – Bridal Model Shoots.  It will be a filming and photographing experience like no other, working together and using our finest equipment in a professional photographic studio.

And what better way to end 2008 than with a COMPETITION, for one lucky girl to receive this all for FREE.  So that’s a day with professional photographers and videographers, all centering around YOU (and we’ll even throw in a free lunch!)  You’ll walk away with photos and cinematic film to cherish forever.

All we need is for you to email 1 or 2 photos of yourself, location details, and a brief sentence about why you think you should win.  Ideally you would own, or have access to, a beautiful wedding dress, to wear on the day.  The deadline is DECEMBER 31st and the winner announced in the New Year (Shoot Date – Jan/Feb, Location: South UK).
Good luck!

Simply email info@fxfilms.co.uk with your entry.
