Well these guys were just fabulous.
Working alongside the always excellent Paul Willetts Photography, probably the best Worcesteshire wedding photographer out there, always means having fun and going the extra mile. But it takes a great couple for everyone to have fun, and Arabella and Dominic were all about keeping things relaxed and fun.
The award-winning country house and barns that comprise Blakelands itself is what you would call a perfect wedding venue. The staff are easy-going and helpful, the atmosphere is chilled and welcoming, and the venue itself is just lovely. There are lots of lovely areas and nooks for intimate wedding couple portrait photography, from the lovely 19th century exterior of the house, to the historic walled gardens, paddocks, orchards, lakes and barns. You couldnt take a bad wedding photo here if you tried. Well maybe you could. We couldnt. As Arabella and Dominic’s wedding videographer I was as always mindful to try and go the extra mile to create a memorable full-length wedding film. I work discretely and quickly, always careful to let the wedding photographer have priority. But with these guys, and with Paul, as with so many of my couples and collaborators, everyone made time so that we could get all those shots.
The wedding ceremony itself was outdoors, which is always lovely. Provided the sun comes out, of course, which on this occasion it did, along with Mr Blue Sky. The speeches were hilarious and nice and short, which puts everyone in a good mood, and the party was a proper banger, which is a double win, because if everyone is having a good time, you can be sure your wedding photographer and your wedding videographer are likely to stay on a little bit longer and grab even more photos and videos of the wedding party.
Because, after all, surely if nothing else, your wedding day should be fun, right? And these guys, as well as being lovely people with lovely friends and family, were absolutely the very definition of fun. Congratulations guys!
