Jess & Simon's Beautiful Outdoor Wedding

Jess and Simon's wedding was a truly special day filled with love, joy, and beautiful moments. The ceremony took place at the stunning Oaklands Hall Hotel in Grimsby, providing a picturesque backdrop for their outdoor celebration. As a wedding videographer, I had the honour of capturing their special day and creating a video that they would cherish for a lifetime.

A Sweet Couple and a Meaningful Video

Jess and Simon were an incredibly sweet couple, and it was evident in every aspect of their wedding day. From the heartfelt vows they exchanged to the tender moments they shared on the dance floor, their love was palpable. As their videographer, I wanted to create something extra special for them, a video that would capture the essence of their love and the magic of their wedding day.

One of the most touching moments of the day was when Jess messaged me after the wedding to express her gratitude. She thanked me for including footage of her grandfather, who had sadly passed away shortly after the wedding. Knowing how much those moments meant to her and her family made it even more important for me to create a video that would be a treasured keepsake.

A Surprise-filled Bridal Prep and a Magical Gift

The excitement began during Jess' bridal prep, where Simon had planned a series of surprise gifts for her. Each gift served as a clue to a much bigger surprise that awaited her. The anticipation grew as Jess unwrapped each present, not knowing what awaited her at the end.

Finally, during the speeches, Simon revealed the ultimate surprise—a trip to New York City at Christmas. The room filled with gasps and applause as Jess realized the magical adventure that awaited them. It was a truly unforgettable moment, and I was fortunate enough to capture the sheer joy and happiness on their faces.

Christmas in New York City is a dream for many, and for Jess and Simon, it became a reality. The magic of the city during the holiday season combined with the love they shared made for an incredibly special experience. I couldn't help but feel honoured to have been a part of their journey and to document their love story.

Overall, Jess and Simon's wedding was a beautiful celebration of love and happiness. From the stunning venue to the heartfelt surprises, every detail came together to create a day they will cherish forever. As their videographer, I am grateful to have been a part of their special day and to have created a video that captures the essence of their love and the magic of their wedding.

I like to get to know my couples better before the wedding day, so in my questionnaire I asked Jess & Simon this question: "What would you say is the one thing about my films that you enjoy the most?" and this was Jess' response "The emotion captured in the films. I like that fact that your films are not staged, which I think can look forced. I fell in love with your promo video of the wedding in Lincoln, the first you posted on Facebook. I loved the intro where you filmed them laughing in a field, with the speech voicing over, I just find your films very powerful and emotional. Your films tell a story of the whole day and flow effortlessly."

Testimonial

Once Jess and Simon received their wedding films, Jess sent me a heartfelt message expressing her gratitude - "I'm completely lost for words, it is just so much better than we could have ever imagined. I was in tears and had goosebumps the whole way through and so did Simon. The way you captured it was just absolutely unreal, you're amazing at what you do and it's the best money we spent on the wedding. I think I've watched it 6 times since this morning. I just can't get my head around how amazing it is, it is such a professional video I can't get my head around that that was our wedding. The emotions from the day just came flooding back, it's just absolutely stunning. And the shots you got of my grandad, thank you so so much. This journey has been amazing and you've been one of the nicest, attentive vendors I've dealt with. Thank you so so much I can't even express into words how blown away I am xxx"
