SUMMER'S HERE

It is going to be an exceptionally busy summer this year with a number of wedding videos being shot abroad, in London and the home counties. London wedding videos are always great fun to film. You get the glamour of the city and vibrancy of the wedding. To view some sample clips from weddings in London please see our sample clips page. We understand that this is one of the biggest days in a couple’s life and some say the real start of a relationship. All of the couples friends and family are there to witness it and it is vital for us to film everything well. However, we are always careful not to be too obvious. We market ourselves on being discrete but there are times we need to be a little assertive to make sure we get good footage. Although we are London based, we shoot wedding videos throughout the UK and abroad. This summer we will be shooting wedding films in Turkey , South of France and Florence . If you want any information about our services abroad, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Our details are on our contact page.

A NEW SEASON

Moving Image has already started filming weddings this year in London and throughout the UK. London Wedding Videos are always a pleasure because you get to see more of this great city. Th days are also getting longer which means the light is better. If you are thinking of using Moving Image to shoot your london wedding video take a look at our samples page to see if you like our style. If you have any questions about our work or style, please do not hesitate to drop us a line or give us a call to discuss your needs.

January and February are usually quiet months for wedding videos in London. However, we have had a couple of weddings in London to film and they were really quite beautiful. You get beautiful light in the winter and fantastic sunsets. Often the couple are just coming out of the church at magic hour and it looks stunning. To see examples of winter weddings please take a look at some of our examples on our sample clips page. Now though is a busy time for summer bookings. We are generally booked up to 50% capacity a year in advance but that still leaves quite a few dates to fill. We have to be careful to not over stretch ourselves as we spend a week on each edit and we like to spend this time on a film.

SUMMER DRAWS TO A CLOSE

It has been a great Summer. Moving Image filmed over 20 wedding videos in London and about 12 in the country side. So many beautiful brides and glamours parties. Please have a look at our sample clips page to get an idea of our style, in case your thinking of have a wedding soon and want a video.

We have been directing clients to London in Motion, which give fantastic video summaries of places and sites in London if they are short of ideas.

We recently filmed a wedding video in the great Eastern Hotel near Liverpool Street , which was a fantastic London venue. The Hotel is in the middle of the City and has a very wide atrium which gives a fantastic sense of space and height. It was a Persian wedding with a beautiful Iranian ceremony. We film all of videos very discretely, without moving around too much during the ceremony. We understand the need for the bride and groom to be relaxed and last thing they will want is camera operators being too visible; please have a look at our how we work page to get an idea of our working style. However, this never compromises the quality of footage we get and in many ways can enhance it – as cameras are discretely mounted on tripods meaning steady and clear footage. Please have a look at some of the ceremony clips in Sample Clips to get an idea of how the final ceremony looks when shot this way. London wedding videos are always fun to make, as London has some of the best and most exciting venues. Syon Park near Brentford is another stunning venue that we frequently film wedding videos at. Syon Park is often used for feature films and it is no surprise given the grandeur and beauty of the place. The butterfly room gives the perfect setting for dinner – with great light and high ceilings. There is plenty of space to move around in and the atmosphere is always great. A wedding video is always enhanced by its setting and there are many stunning places (both in and outside London ) that we have been privileged to visit. It is very important to know that the wedding video company a couple selects is not going to dominate or put its own objective above the happiness of the bridge and groom. We always advise potential clients to look at How We Work to reassure them we are not going to get in the way on the day. We are very proud of the fact that we often not noticed yet the final wedding video has caught all the key moments.

This weekend we were filming a wedding video in Claridges hotel London. London Wedding Videos are always very glamorous affairs and this was no exception. Claridges is a wonderful venue and the bride and groom were a wonderful couple. There are quite a few clips of wedding videos we have shot in Claridges 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 in the New Forest, Hampshire. 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 the heart of Winchester. 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. For more information about how we work, please see "about us" and "how we work" on our website at http://www.movingimagefilms.co.uk.

Coming soon. Moving Image has shot over 10,000 clips of stock footage of London life and London landmarks for use in wedding videos. Moving Image shoots many wedding videos in London at all the major venues, including The Natural History Museum, Syon Park, Kew Gardens, Claridges, Grosvenor House, House of Parliament, Soho House and all other major venues. Many of these are available to view in sample clips. Please contact Moving Image for any more information.
