Finally be married

To have this memory to look back on in 50 years.
And to share it with family and friends who cannot share the day with us

The Venue? … Why did you choose this place above anywhere else? 

It is simply beautiful and incredibly Italian.
American's don't really see castles and we wanted to give the guys a new experience

CHATEAU RIGAUD WEDDING VIDEOGRAOPHER // FRANCE

How would you or your friends describe yourselves as a couple? 

Well-suited and happy. Down to earth. Funny in a funny little way.

You guys?.… What do you do?.. .. What’s important in life? 

Ishan works with his father running a global pharmaceuticals company. Sophie sold her hospitality business a few months ago and has returned to her roots in writing since then. Our family and friends are very important in life. We like to travel and have new experiences together. We love to ski together, although Sophie is more nervous on the slopes than Ishan. Playing sport, especially football, is very important to Ishan. Sophie likes running and yoga and loves reading and whales.

Why do you want to capture your wedding on video? 

So we can look back on it for many years to come and see/ be reminded of the joy of the day - hopefully seeing lots of happy people who are pleased to be there! We’re sure the day will fly by for both of us, so it will be great to have the video as a memory and also to be able to see all the bits of the day that we may not experience first hand.

The Venue? … Why did you choose this place above anywhere else? 

We wanted to go abroad so it felt like a little holiday for all our friends and family and they’d hopefully be more relaxed. France seemed like a good choice for those who would want to drive. Sophie visited Bordeaux with both of our mothers soon after our engagement and we chose Rigaud for a number of reasons: They seemed extremely organised with great attention to detail (Sophie owned a hospitality business for a long time so knew how important organisation is!), the rooms and grounds were absolutely beautiful, and Bordeaux itself just had this relaxed, magical atmosphere (and was very clean!) which we all loved. We also heard overwhelmingly positive things about the food at Rigaud, which was very important to us as we love our food.

What experience do you want to give to your guests? 

We want them to have a really fun, but very relaxed time. To feel like they’ve had a really happy mini holiday where they’ve had lots of laughs, chatted to lots of amazing people, eaten loads of delicious food, had as much to drink as they wanted to, and been surrounded by love and smiles all weekend. We would like them to feel sad to leave!

Destination Wedding Videographer // Tuscany // Villa Catureglio

How would you or your friends describe yourselves as a couple? 

Well balanced, thoughtful and fun (I hope) - we like going for cosy dinners on a Sunday or partying until the morning. We appreciate time to relax as much as time to party.

You guys?.… What do you do?.. .. What’s important in life? 

We are both designers living in London and we have just moved into a beautiful house in Stoke Newington in East London. The most important things in life are each other, family time and partying with friends. We love to travel and make memories together.

What do you enjoy doing outside of the wedding? Describe a typical Sunday together..... 

Wake up and go to the gym - we both love to keep fit and make a day of it. We then would go for brunch with friends and then take a long walk in Clissold Park, on the way home we would call in to the local grocers and get dinner and make yummy food and often bake. We like to relax in the afternoon together in comfy clothes and watch a film.

Destination Wedding Videographer // Relais Borgo Scopeto // Siena // Amy & Joe

Venue: Relais Borgo Scopeto

Wedding planner: Grace Wedding

Photography: Laura Barbera

Amy & Joe got married at Relais Borgo Scopeto, in the beautiful countryside just outside Siena.

The weekend started off with a welcome BBQ.

Borgo Scopeto is a typical Tuscan estate with delightful views of the famous city of Siena which is only a few minutes away.
The Borgo has been beautifully restored and has all the elegance of yesteryear. From this corner of paradise you can see the Mangia Tower and Siena’s cathedral in the distance behind the gentle rolling hills.

On the wedding morning, a proper rain storm came, but it didn’t affect the spirit of Amy and Joe at all. They were determined to enjoy their wedding day with friends and family no matter what. Wedding ceremony had to be moved inside, but fortunately the sun came back out again, and the wedding reception carried on outside with the magical view of Tuscan countryside.

Destination Wedding // Villa San Crispolto Wedding Video // Annabelle & Oisin

Annabelle & Oisin got married in the beautiful Villa San Crispolto, in Umbria, on a hill overlooking Lake Trasimeno.

What are you excited for on the wedding day?

We can't wait to be husband and wife, we've been together for 7 and a half years and engaged for 2 and a half so it feels like it's been a long time coming. We also can't wait to have so many people we love in the same place. 
We're all so busy so it will be fantastic to have everyone relaxed in the sunshine and share some special memories with those who mean the most to us. We are also really excited for the party - we have A LOT of young people coming to the wedding and they love to have a drink and party, so we've put a lot of effort into the music and making sure it's a great one - which we can't wait for

The Venue? … Why did you choose this place above anywhere else?

When we were trying to decide what to do about a wedding we thought about where we'd been at our happiest and made some of our favourite memories, and the answer always came back to being on holiday with our families. We had enjoyed an amazing holiday to Italy in 2014 and been desperate to go back - and we knew our families would love it. We didn't expect so many friends to come as we know abroad weddings are an expense but we have been so blessed in that everyone has been so keen to come. The villa itself is beautiful, Marco our wedding planner has been amazing and made it all so stress-free. We also wanted to hold the wedding somewhere we could relax for the whole week with everyone and extend the celebrations.

Destination Wedding // Poderi Arcangelo, Tuscany

Louise & Adrian // Poderi Arcangelo, Tuscany

Photography: Domenico Costabile

You guys?.… What do you do?.. .. What’s important in life?: Adrian is a cancer research scientist and Louise is a primary school teacher. Adrian is extremely passionate about science. Important to us in life are our work, and having close connections to our family. We both enjoy food, travelling, movies, hiking. We are Game of Thrones fanatics :-)

What are you excited for on the wedding day?: We are both mainly excited for having all of our loved ones, spending a relaxed day in their presence. We are looking forward to showing our commitment to each other to all those we care about. And we are also looking forward to the beautiful Italian food and wine!

Why do you want to capture your wedding on video?: We have heard that the day goes by in a flash and that the bride and groom miss so much. We would like to see as much of the day as possible and also to relive the moments over time. Especially to look back in years at the people that were there with us.

The Venue? … Why did you choose this place above anywhere else?: A friend was at a wedding here and highly recommended it. It seemed to fit our vibe for the wedding - relaxed, family run, rustic, beautiful countryside.

What experience do you want to give to your guests?: For some of our guests it is quite an ordeal to travel to the wedding. For some of them, they have not been on holidays in many years. So we would like the guests to enjoy a stress free, relaxed, fun filled weekend.

Destination Wedding // Villa di Ulignano, Tuscany

Thank you so much!! We love the video! It's just perfect. It's a perfect memento of our day. You've summed it up beautifully! This is so special to mike and I and our families. Your work is one of the highlights of our whole wedding. The video is incredible. It's edited so beautifully and thoughtfully - truly unlike anything I've seen before. You captured the day perfectly

F&M

Faye & Mike got married in the beautiful Villa di Ulignano, in the Tuscan countryside.

They got to share their day with their gorgeous baby Oliver, family and friends. Their wedding was memorable, here is the story of their special day.

Vendors and special thanks:

Wedding planner: Martina from Italyweddings, special shout out for her professionalism and for organizing such a wonderful wedding. Thanks for looking after us throughout the entire day.

Photography: Rosie Hardy, Rosie and Georgia are not just professional people and really talented photographers, but also a joy to work with. Thanks for making my job on the day so easy.

Florist: Le petit Jardin

The Venue? … Why did you choose this place above anywhere else?: We've always loved Italy - we love everything about it and if we could master the language and find work out there, I'm pretty sure we would move there tomorrow! Instead we will have to be happy with having holidays in Italy and we can't wait to take Oliver as he gets older. We love the people, the weather, the fact that wherever you turn it looks like a picture postcard and we LOVE LOVE LOVE the food and wine. We will never get enough of Italy! It will always be a special place to us. We just need to crack the language!

What are you excited for on the wedding day?: Seeing all of our favourite people in one place. We don't throw many parties to celebrate events for example our birthdays we usually just spend together. So, it will be lovely to celebrate in style in beautiful Tuscany with all of our closest people.

Why do you want to capture your wedding on video?: So we can look back and see things in real time, not just through stills of a photograph. It will be lovely to show our child/children! Even though Oliver will be around, he obviously won't remember the event so it will be so special to show him that he was at our wedding and is the next piece to our puzzle! Also, at the risk of sounding morbid, it will be lovely to capture the speeches on film. When our parents are no longer with us, it will be sp special to have video footage of them at the day, speaking at such a memorable time in our lives.

What experience do you want to give to your guests?: I want people to have fun, more than anything. I want people to relax and enjoy some time away. I prey we get some good weather as us Brits do deserve it! We so appreciate people taking time off work to come spend time at our wedding - it's so important to us that people know how much we appreciate that. We don't want things to feel too formal but we just want people to make new friends and enjoy the unique experience of a destination wedding in a lovely villa.

You guys?.… What do you do?.. .. What’s important in life?: We love our home and invest a lot of energy and time into it. It's so important to us both to have a home where we feel completely relaxed in and happy in. I can't explain why really, but it just is! Mike has a stressful job and it's just important for us that he can come home to a space that he enjoys. I'm a home bird too. As much as I love holidays, my favourite place is my home and that's why we're always making plans with our house.
