Teaser
Feature Film
Why did you pick your venue, and what makes it special to you?
It is the brides family home with lots of special memories. The house will be sold in the next few years so this will probably be the last big bash!
It's a real honour to have been chosen to capture your special day - thank you! We would love to know why you chose us - what is it about our work that you like?
you were recommended to us, loved the sample videos, got a great vibe from Andy!
What is important in life to you?
Friends, family, the simple things, our home in Brighton, summer evenings on the beach and sunset swims, a freshly ground coffee in the morning and a beer at the local pub.
What is a typical Sunday/day off together like for you?
As much of the above listed things as possible. Coffee, walk on the beach, wedding planning!! Seeing friends, walking in the South Downs, a pint and a half at a country or local pub, watching golf (Lee) and reading my book (Caroline).
How did you meet each other?
Mutual godparent of our beloved goddaughter Nancy who will be a flower girl at the wedding! You’ll spot her a mile off as the one causing chaos but looking angelic.
How about the proposal? Tell us everything! :-)
Lee proposed during a beautiful walk in the Cotswolds while it was busy pulling up my leggings having attempted to dislodge some mud and a stick from an earlier wild wee!
Why did you choose each other over anyone else?
There was no decision to make, it was just right!
How do you think your partner makes you better?
She knows me better than I know myself and has the answers before I’ve even figured out the questions. He is my favourite person in the world and I just feel better in every situation for having him by my side. And he’s a good cook!’
What part of marriage do you think will be the most challenging?
Paying off the wedding!!
What's the one thing you've never done but dream of being able to do one day?
There is very little we dream of as we feel so lucky to have what we have together. But maybe a family together one day.
What makes your partner unique?
His love of laundary. Lee: she has too many features to even name (unique/weird!!)
If you could describe your partner in 5 words, what would they be?
Lee describing Caroline: hilarious, loyal, kind, cute mouth!
Caroline describing Lee: loyal, loving, handsome, best friend.
Tell us about your wedding plans so far - anything you would like to mention (including fears, what excites you, etc.)?
Excited about it all, nervous that it’s soon!
What sort of music do you like, and who do you listen to on a regular basis?
Eclectic selection of real dross! Ranging from drum and bass to take that to late nineties pop trance and Taylor swift and other modern belters!
In terms of style, look and feel, how would you summarise your wedding day?
Relaxed, English country garden party with aperol spritz, a marquee and lots of love!
Finally... why are you marrying each other?!? :-)
