When Georgina and Jonathan first contacted me about filming their big day at Gosfield Hall they said that it was the fun light hearted moments in my films that made me stand out from the competition. Georgina quite rightly indicated that a wedding day is a meant to be fun and even though there will be moments of drama and romanticism, it's important not to let these overshadow the happy nature of the day. With this in mind I always had the vision of trying to make their film feel as upbeat and fun as possible, without going overboard and losing the very clear message that Jonathan is clearly besotted with his new bride!
This specific brief only through up one difficulty and that was finding a suitable soundtrack to their highlights that would enable me to use the dialogue I wanted but keep the overall feel of the film as a positive one. After 4 long hours of searching I finally came across the acoustic version of Unpredictable by The Icarus Account, a band that I had used previously for Nicoli and Adam's wedding highlights. Hopefully you will agree that it was worth the 4 hour search!
Oh and just a friendly warning for the future grooms out there... if your wife to be has asked for a designer handbag or shoes as a wedding day present and you've said "no.. grooms don't buy their brides designer goods" then it may be best to close your eyes for the next 3 and a half minutes...
