Until we get a definite solution (e.g. online license fee) from music licensing bodies here in the UK (e.g. PPL and MCPS), we have decided not to take the risk of being sued (as have other colleagues in the UK, with their own sites).

It’s a sad, sorry state to be honest. Especially when you think we have actual proof that people have purchased music tracks after listening to the great ones we have used in our clips. So in effect, we’re promoting artists and bands in a modern world whereby everything is digital and downloadable at the click of a button.

What we may do is begin to replace our clips with copyright-free music tracks from independent artists and bands…unfortunately though, that’s not a quick and easy process as we often work the emotions in our clips (e.g. with timings of the instrumental parts and crescendoes in the chorus).

Apologies.

It was sponsored by Hasselblad, and with photography by the very talented Lisa Devlin (Unveiled Wedding Photographer of the Year).

For most of the filming I was strategically wedged behind the shop counter … but even so, still enjoyed every second of it

Here’s the behind-the-scenes clip, with all credits listed below:

Kat and James flew all the way over from Adelaide, Australia, for their wedding at St Audries Park in West Quantoxhead, Somerset.

James was originally from the UK, and met Kat at a church in Adelaide when he was travelling the world, and moved over to Oz to be together.  A lovely touch for the day was that their Pastor, Danny, also flew over from Oz to conduct the service, and having known Kat and her family for years, gave a very personal and moving service.

They are a stunning couple, both inside and out … and they have great music taste (they’ll know what I mean!)

There’s no denying that Helen and James are one gorgeous and fantastic couple. Somehow they found the perfect match then, by holding their reception at The Crazy Bear, Oxford. It’s utterly brilliant – everything from the double decker bus reception, to the moroccan decor, to the padded-wall bedrooms!

You both have hilarious friends and family by the way. And of course we’re saying that in a nice way! We laughed throughout the speeches, and the special messages. Somehow we’ll never tire of hearing special messages like those!

Loseley Park is such a stunning venue, inside and out, topped off with a big red bus delivering the bridal party to the front doors!

Oh, and thanks Adele and Tony for choosing a track I personally really like, featured in ’500 Days of Summer’ – great, uplifting film.  Hope you think the same about this one

Kayleigh contacted us a long time ago, and said she couldn’t imagine us ‘not’ filming her wedding.  And we are so glad we did – it was at one of our preferred venues, on a beautiful sunny day, and the emotional bride and groom were an absolute pleasure to work with. 

n.b. We also had on board a new camera assistant, Elizabeth, a freelance camera operator for ITV.  Elizabeth will be helping us on many future weddings, and joining our forever-growing team of professional filmmakers.

Congratulations Kayleigh and Steve.  Oh, and happy birthday for today Kayleigh

Now the thing we are most excited about is the fact we are literally sitting amongst all the great names/companies that we personally aspire to – Stillmotion (Canada), Jason Magbanua (Philippines), Ian Lim, Dave Perry, Matthew Ebenezer, to name but a few…

“If we had only known how amazing our DVD would turn out, we would have gone for the ‘full package Love Story!’ All we can say is ‘outstanding’, I cried more watching the DVD than I did on the day! We would recommend you in a second.”
Michelle

“We’ve just watched the video again with friends and family and there were many tears reliving the day!  You captured some amazing moments – and some great shots in there too!  We are genuinely happy with it and promise to recommend you to all our friends and family. We think you’ve done a incredible job”
Adam

“Thanks for doing the most incredible DVD of our wedding!  We absolutely loved it and so did all the family!  Absolutely wonderful … you really did such a brilliant job and I can’t stop watching it – you captured so many moments that we had forgotten about and now we can treasure these memories forever. I especially loved seeing my reactions to Sophie’s speech!  Thanks again and I will definitely recommend you! Thanks soo much!”
