What... a... wedding.
When I first saw the enquiry come in about a wedding in Gloucestershire, 4 hours away I immediately thought it'd be impossible. When I saw that it was Helen & Mark, friends of previous couples Maria & Paul, Zoe & Dan and Kelly & David, I knew we just had to make the trip and I'm so glad we did.
After getting married at a beautiful church high up on St Mary's Hill in Stroud everyone descended onto Berkley Castle, without doubt one of the most eye dropping venues I've ever seen. The day ran as smoothly as I've ever seen and everybody involved were so professional and helpful, not least Pippa from Berkley Castle and Clare and her assistant from Clare Breheny photography. Helen looked stunning in her La Sposa designed dress and custom made bolero from Mirror Mirror in Islington.
It was so difficult to cram what I needed to tell the story of Helen & Mark into just a few minutes as in truth, I could have picked any section from their full film, but in the end I managed to whittle it down to this. Both fathers play a key role in the narrative of the film and so when I stumbled across Tony Anderson's track 'The Father's Heart' I knew it would be perfect. I say stumbled.. it took 6 hours of quite intensive searching... I am a slave to my art!
