Rachel and Ben had put a lot of time into planning every detail of their wedding, and the day itself was every bit as perfect as they had hoped.

Brympton House in the hamlet of Brympton D’Evercy, is one of our favourite venues as it is so picturesque and unique. The wedding ceremony was held in the Dower House, followed by drinks reception on the lawn. After the sit down meal and speeches (including a brilliant best mans speech by Guy), everyone headed over to the beautiful Orangery for the afterparty. Rachel had the brilliant idea of organised a photo booth in the bar which was complete with built in wind machine, and had the guests piling in all night.

The rest of the evening was spent eating wedding cake and bacon sarnies to keep energy levels high for hitting the dancefloor while the incredibly talented Time Out band played. Bens best man Guy had mentioned in his speech about Bens infamous own style of dancing which he described as ‘a cross between Michael Jackson and a Russian Cossack dancer’, which we got to see when Ben hit the floor. It truly was brilliant to watch!

Last year, we took more ‘Simplicity’ (combined cinematography + photography) bookings than any other package, and we thank all those couples whose special days we have (or will have) jointly covered.

So we thought it’d be nice to give our personal top 10 reasons for absolutely loving our partner photography team! Here goes:

1.) We love their photography!
2.) We feed off each others innovative ideas to drive our companies forward, and can constantly give feedback and suggestions to one another
3.) We know exactly how to work with and around each other during a wedding shoot … without muttering a word!
4.) We all use Canon equipment, which makes lens and equipment sharing very easy!
5.) We all agree that team meetings should be über fun … and involve G+T … and popcorn
6.) We’ve each got 2 cats, all with massive personalities and amusing names
7.) Henley and Richard share a somewhat geeky passion for gadgets and gizmos
8.) We seem to like all the same TV films and series … from ’24′ to ’Napolean Dynamite’ to ‘Alan Partridge’!
9.) Henley makes superb professional coffee … ya’know - with mail-order coffee beans, and the fancy crema (lime?)leaf!
10.) They make us laugh … alot … all the time!

And to end on, we tried to select 10 of our favourite photos they have taken over the last couple of months.  But it was too hard to select 10, so we just selected a whole big bunch instead (and in no order of preference)!

Rachel and Andy actually booked us two years ago, alongside partner-photography team Lime Leaf Weddings (see here for their photo blog entry), for our first ‘Simplicity’ Package.  So we were just as excited as them, to give to their special day our combined team efforts.

Before the service, Andys dad had a mobility scooter and almost became an outlaw rather than an in-law to Rachel, when he managed to put it on full speed straight into the side of the immaculate ice white Rolls-Royce Phantom worth a cool £260,000. Luckily, there wasnt too much damage done, and the driver didnt seem too concerned (although Andy did give his dad a ticking off!).

After the service at St. Giles Church in Newcastle-under-Lyme , everyone headed over to The Upper House, which was a former Wedgewood residence, and was a fantastic setting for the champagne reception.

Congratulations to you both, and all our very best to you…

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

West Stoke House is a beautiful Georgian designed house just outside of Chichester, boasting elegantly designed rooms and fantastic views, making it the perfect setting for Naz and Adam’s dream wedding. They had been planning their wedding for over a year and a half, so it was fantastic to capture their excitement and anticipation on the day itself, and get to know them in the build up to the day. Naz looked absolutely stunning and didn’t seem to stop smiling all day, much like her adoring husband!

Adam and Naz booked us as a Simplicity package with our favourite photographers, Lime Leaf Weddings, so it was great to catch up with them on the day, and work together with such a gorgeous and ‘up for anything’ couple. Although the day started off a bit cloudy, the sun seemed to break through in the afternoon just in time for the ‘confetti run’ and some very funky couple shots.

On a side note, Canon UK were kind enough to give me a test-drive of a brand new camcorder, the Canon XF305. Any camera-techies out there, can read my short review here.

Congratulations Naz and Adam!

If I was to tell you that the following clip contained nudity and nipple licking, would you carry on watching? Of course you would!

But they aren’t the main reasons to watch it … This was a fun-packed wedding on the hottest and brightest day of the year, and all the guests were up for a complete laugh and good time!

I don’t think Laura and Grant could have asked for a better day at a better venue even if they tried!

Similar to us at FX Films, all of their camera equipment is from Canon so it’s great to see their work printed in one of the brochures.

What a memorable day, and a rare treat!

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:
