The Mandarin

This weekend we were filming a wedding video in The Mandarin Oriental hotel in Knightsbridge London. London Wedding Videos are always very glamorous affairs and this was no exception. The Mandarin is a wonderful venue and the bride and groom were great. There are quite a few clips of wedding videos we have shot in the Mandarin in our sample clips if anyone would like to see this venue. There are larger examples in our free DVD show reel too. I think wedding videos give huge scope for presenting a mixture of filming and editing styles. The day is always a combination of romance, family reunion, making new acquaintances and love. I have been filming wedding videos for over 18 years all over the UK and I always enjoy them. Having lived in London for over 20 years, I am particularly fond of filming in London. One can take one’s own city for granted but a wedding video always reminds me of what a wonderful city London is. Our clients are from many different cultures and backgrounds and their weddings reflect this diversity. I feel very privileged to have witnessed so many different cultures and wedding ceremonies and to have shared in those very intimate moments.

The previous weekend we had the pleasure of leaving London to a shoot a wedding video
near Peterborough. Although we are a London based wedding video company, we travel al over the UK and it adds little to the cost of the day for the client. By the way, our prices are available to view on-line in the “prices” section of our website at www.movingimagefilms.co.uk. The wedding started at 3pm but we arrived sometime before that to catch preparations. A beautiful church in a beautiful little town. The guests had travelled from all over the UK and the build up to the Wedding was fantastic. When creating a wedding video, the time of the guests arrival is one of the most exciting and important parts. A wedding video is a very lively and exciting film and the sight of all the guests, dressed in their finest outfits, full of anticipation and looking forward to showering the couple with love and affection, is one of the best sequences. People LOVE a wedding. The drama builds as the groom and his close family arrive. People take their seats before the Bride finally arrives looking beautiful. The church falls silent when word spreads that she has arrived. The priest goes out to greet her. Heads turn to catch the first glimpse.

All this drama makes a great wedding video and is one of the most exciting parts of the video. We carefully placed cameras, we caught all of the action and the sequence will look beautiful.

Wonderful Wedding Videos in Central London

What a wonderful couple of wedding we have just completed in March. The first was a beautiful Jewish wedding at the New London Synagogue Central London followed by a stunning reception in Savile Row. A good wedding video is ultimately a reflection of a beautiful wedding and this was no exception. A vibrant crowd combines with a lovely warm couple always makes a great day. Jewish weddings are always full of lovely rituals and fabulous parties. To see some examples please see our sample clips. There are larger examples in our free DVD show reel too. When making the wedding video, you pay close attention to the close family as there will much laughter, tears and warm throws of affection and good wishes. As the wedding was in central London we added some classic footage of London places and events to give it that London flavour. The couple also requested some Amy Winehouse to round off the London theme. In all a classic London Wedding Video. The couple were delighted with the final product, as were we.

The second wedding video we shot in March was also Central London at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, Hyde Park. An Indian wedding that was rich in colour and life. I feel so privileged to witness these wonderful ceremonies and to be part of it. The proceedings started by the groom being shepparded in by family dancing to vibrant drum players. Each member of the family then exchanged garlands with their opposite number and warmly embraced. So, even before the main ceremony, the wedding video had dancing, music, hugging and great love. The main wedding ceremony then started and her proud family led the stunning bride into the main room before being seated with the groom. What followed was a ceremony rich in rites and rituals. The wedding finished at midnight and editing on the video finished about 4 weeks later. Please contact Moving Image for any more information.

Beautiful Contemporary Wedding Videos

Moving Image has been filming weddings and events for over 15 years. We specialise in filming weddings with minimum interference. Experience has taught us that people do not want an over-emotional cheesy wedding video but something elegant, well shot and simple that reflects their day, which they can watch time and again. We aim to capture and present the day as it unfolds and edit sequentially. Please review some of the sample clips to get an idea of our style. If you like what you see, request a free show reel that demonstrates in more detail how we shoot and structure our films.

Learn how we work in about us. We shoot all of our films on professional broadcast equipment and use state of the art edit equipment to bring the footage together.

We shoot the whole day up to the first dance and longer if requested. The average full length video is about 90 minutes but this varies depending on what the client wants.
