And what a success it was!
We gave spoken presentations about the video, as well as for other select clips…then the projectionist would dim the lights and allow the audience members to relax (with glasses of wine) as they watched the films.

Nikki is a fantastic, Oxford-based musician, whose vocal chords I first fell in love with at the wedding of Claire and Roberto (she even features in their highlights clip!). I told her there and then that I simply had to make her a music video – and the rest is history :)

The clips were played in full-HD, from Blu-Ray, and it really was the full cinema experience – all in all, quite surreal!

So now imagine watching your own wedding film at the cinema, with all your family and friends. I’m pleased to say I can make this a possibility for you! Just contact FX Films if you’d like to know more…

Here’s the final clip we played at the cinema last night. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, ‘Nikki Loy – Can I Keep You?’:

And here are a few behind-the-scenes photos taken by myself and also by my good friend Cath, from Catherine Breakspear Photography:

Filming at weddings alongside our partner photography team, Lime Leaf Weddings, is always so much fun, especially as I have been into photography (and filming) since I was young enough to even hold a camera!

So when the opportunity arose (via my friend Kat, aka Rock n Roll Bride) to film coverage of a Jasmine Star photography workshop at One Marylebone, London, I jumped at the chance.

No matter what your level, background or history of photography, Jasmine has a great gift for teaching invaluable, honest information that helps to inspire and drive people forward. I’m certain that the entire group of photography trainees walked out at the end, with heads completely buzzing with fresh new ideas and methods.

It was an absolute pleasure to meet Jasmine and her husband, JD, and I can only hope that they find my clip (below) helpful in tempting others to experience a future workshop.

cheers,
Richard
Creative Director

Thanks to JD and Ria Mishaal Cooke for these splendid behind-the-scenes photos:

But this is an exception…

Lisa Devlin (www.devlinphotos.co.uk) recently won the ‘British Journal of Photography‘ award for ‘British Wedding Photographer of the Year’, and I’ve met and worked with her a few times now.

As a person, she is spontaneous, fun, and creative – and this translates into her amazing portfolio of work too.

So, what an honour it was to film this promo / behind-the-scenes engagement shoot, for her. The shoot, by the way, had planning help from Tiffany (www.grantrileyweddings.co.uk), so between Lisa and her, it was a perfect vintage-wedding-look match!

Side note: The bride had bought 2 dresses for her wedding, but surprised the groom (as you can see in the clip), by turning up to the shoot in the vintage dress she wasn’t infact using for the wedding!

{PART 1} Rock ‘n’ Roll Bride

Nearly everyone in the wedding industry knows of, or has heard of, Rock ‘n ‘Roll Bride, aka Kat.

Since getting hitched in 2008, she subsequently began a revolution with her wedding blog. She notifies the world of the coolest and most fun weddings out there, via the medium of well-written blog entries, always with accompanying photos and videos from global wedding companies.  So influential and inspiring is she, that she brings in a staggering 90,000 visitors every month! 

If anyone needs inspiration or ideas for a totally different or funky wedding, you need look no further than www.rocknrollbride.com

And what fun I had to film Kat, in a way that (I hope) conveyed her personality and lifestyle. Seriously, I walked away from the shoot totally buzzing! She’s infectious, and crazy, and .. well, just watch the clip ;)

Please do leave a comment to let us know what you think!

Richard

p.s. It’s impossible not to fall in love with her two cute kittens, Henry and Rachel! (just don’t tell my own cats I said that!)

Simon was the perfect partner to help produce this, as he and I really are annoying perfectionists!

On a personal note, I’d not hesitate to recommend Simon to perform his amazing magic at any of your weddings, parties or events. He’s going to be at my sister’s wedding in August, and we all can’t wait!
