Lisa and Mark:
Brympton House, Somerset
Simplicity (FX Films + Lime Leaf Weddings = Cinematography + Photography)

Lisa and Mark showed exactly how to have a xmas/winter wedding!
The day included a backdrop of snow and white sky, a roaring log fire, and free-flowing mulled wine … and even Santa popped by to give presents out to all the kids. Infact, during the speeches, almost every adult received one too!!

What a memorable day, and a rare treat!

You’ve watched the film, you’ve viewed the photos… but what else could complement your wedding day memories?

A Simplicity Wedding Poster of course!
‘Simplicity‘ = Cinematography + Photography

Our partner photography team, Lime Leaf Weddings, will hand us your chosen high-resolution photo, and we at FX Films will do the designing and professional printing required to turn it into a double-coated matt paper poster, in whichever size you can handle! (A3, A2, A1).  Contact us for prices.

Here are some past examples:

We truly have an amazing and exclusive partnership with Lime Leaf Weddings, working on weddings together with our combined ‘Simplicity‘ package (Cinematography + Photography).

Here’s a random few recent images from them, that i’ve personally handpicked from their galleries, showing their unobtrusive and artistic (almost cinematic!) style:

**and if that’s not enough to whet your appetite, i’ve just added some images to my recent post on Krista and Robin’s ‘Simplicity’ wedding, click here**

What a great few days we’ve had!  On Monday I travelled down to Islington (London) with the rest of my team (Henley and Laura from LimeLeafWeddings), and then spent the subsequent two days networking with Canon and other vendors, as well as attending some superbly delivered seminars from some of the great names about (Jeff Ascough, Dan Chung and more). 

techy bit:  This has been a rather exciting year for Canon, who have been bringing out dSLR cameras (5dmk2, 7D) with impressive ISO numbers (bright-light and low-light capabilities) and full-HD video options, with recording options of variable frame-rates.  And a rather important landmark piece of the show was the Canon 1Dmk4, a brand new and jaw-dropping piece of equipment that delivers insanely high-quality photography and cinematography together.

I gave a seminar on each day, to two great audiences, on ‘Wedding Cinematography’.  It was an opportunity to explain and show exactly how FX Films achieves its signature look, using Canon (and other 3rd party) equipment. I was impressed with the questions asked by the audience, and also by the follow-up feedback and queries when I was on the Canon stand afterwards.  Thanks to all those who came up to say a warm ‘hello’, and to request future 1-to-1 training.

And now for an ultra cool mention!  The guys at Timeslicefilms agreed to ‘time-freeze’ Henley and I, as we jumped and karate-kicked in mid-air!  And if you want to try this at home, all you need is a semi-circle of 55 x dSLR’s and all the necessary software to sequence the photos together! :)  To see us all ‘Matrix-ified’, simply click this link and scroll down to ‘RichardWakefield’ (HighDefinition clip coming soon by the way!):  http://www.timeslicefilms.com/canon.html

Below are some photos from the event:

It’s that time again - where we show 4 of our personal favourite photos, taken by our excellent partner photography company, Lime Leaf  Weddings.

We’re so very proud to be working with you!

You may remember that back in May, FX Films and partner photography company Lime Leaf Weddings, ran a HUGE competition with Hitched:
http://www.fxfilms.co.uk/blog/simplicity-wedding-competition-with-hitched.htm

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.

Today is the start of a new monthly blog entry where we’ll show 4 recent and random photos from our expert partner photographer company, LimeLeafWeddings.

We love their work (hence the partnership!) and we are sure you will love them too.

It was an absolute pleasure to be able to film the wedding of our partner photographers, from LimeLeaf Weddings.  To think they are normally the ones behind the cameras, they were completely natural infront too

‘Congratulations’ to my two very good friends
