INSTA
Now this was one amazing day to capture, with two very special people. Sam and Jose’s elaborate yet relaxed same sex wedding began with double groom prep at Jose’s family home, followed by a lovely drive through Warwickshire countryside to the venue. And oh, what a venue. Let’s just spend some time discussing the venue, because Compton Verney is a dream come true for a Warwickshire wedding videographer!
The building is a Grade 1 listed house built in 1714 which was remodelled with the interiors redesigned by Robert Adam in the 1760s. It is set in more than 120 acres (0.49 km2) of parkland landscaped by Capability Brown . The art gallery houses collections that include Neapolitan art from 1600 to 1800; Northern European medieval art and British portraits including those of Henry VIII and Elizabeth 1 .
But the chapel, oh the chapel. To be a wedding photographer or a wedding videographer shooting in the Grade 1 Capability Brown Chapel is to see light, space, and indeed sound, maximised to perfection.
A short walk from the main house, the beautifully restored interior ‘s intricate plaster and marble-work adorn the ceiling and walls, all painted white, while large windows fill the space with natural light. The chapel has been licensed to hold civil ceremonies and can accommodate up to 100 guests.
After the lovely, touching same sex ceremony, we strolled the lovely grounds to capture some wedding couple portrait photography and videography, as well as the formal group shot photographs, with the house providing a luxuriant backdrop for both.
Then it was onto Sam’s parent’s house, with yet another gorgeous country drive for a tipi reception and party, complete with Flamenco dancing!
A long, but truly wonderful day spent with amazing people in the most beautiful of locations!
