A Reflection On The Benefits Of Having Your Wedding Filmed
This Friday lunch time, I've invited wedding photographer Jordana Marston, whose beautiful work has featured many times on Love My Dress, and whose own wedding we blogged back in May, to talk about her wedding film. Jordana has an important message for those of you considering investing in a wedding film - something I find myself recommending to readers more and more these days. Over to you lovely Jordanna...
'I often hear from my brides and friends that one of their biggest regrets post wedding is that they hadn’t hired a videographer. When you start planning a wedding a videographer might not be on the top of your list for priorities – it certainly wasn’t for me. I hired a film guy because I had a nightmare just two weeks before my wedding. The nightmare went something like this…I woke up and thought damn I’m married and I missed my wedding, I don’t remember a word of it because I was so nervous.'
''Then I actually did wake up (are you following me here people?!), and thought I need a video guy/girl to film my day. And you know what – I was soooo happy I did because my nightmare did come true. Unlike my usual calm and relaxed self I surprised myself by how nervous I got. STUPIDLY NERVOUS. Leg shaking. Running into McDonalds on the way to the ceremony to throw up and all sorts. I know glamorous! I wasn’t ill by the way!'

'Anyway, photographs, of course, are absolutely essential (see a snippet of some of ours below, or our wedding in full on Love My vintage wedding dresses), but actually being able to hear speeches, laughter and emotion is truly priceless. And there is something just magical about film – watching my son waddle about (he had only just been walking two months when I got married); seeing his granddad play peekaboo with him when we were meant to be having our formal family shots and the nervous/proud expression on my dad’s face…oh just all of it. I love it and I will treasure mine forever.'
'It’s funny because although I love the camera. I love being firmly behind it. I am no natural in front of it and am a real over-smiler, often looking a bit dorky and although I will eternally have chubby chops you would have thought by my age I would have learned how to work them to avoid the old double chin! No!But does it matter? No – because it is just me. The real me. No hiding. And I love my wedding film for that and 'I’m sure my son will too when he shares it with his kids.'
'Much love to Mark at Our Wedding Day Movie for being ace. So cool, relaxed, willing to try something different and being my new friend.' View more ....

Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall? ~ The Seasons and What They Might Mean for your Wedding Day
We were blessed with perfect weather on our wedding day. It was exactly what we had hoped for. A crisp, cold day complete with winter sunshine and blue skies.
I woke at around 5.30am, unable to sleep any longer, and watched the sunrise through my bedroom window. The grass surrounding the hotel looked as if it had been dusted with icing sugar and the early morning light danced across the frosty bonnets of cars parked nearby.
The strange thing about our decision to marry in the middle of January is that under normal circumstances I possess a deep loathing of winter and all that goes with it. Once the excitement of Christmas has passed, you're left with a long and arduous wait for spring to appear. It's cold and dark and usually wet. If it snows, the country is thrown into chaos and I come under increasing pressure to adopt sensible footwear. Bleugh.
However, when it came to selecting a date for our wedding my opinion shifted. The bleakest months of the year suddenly seemed romantic, the cold an excuse to cosy up to my new husband. There were other, more practical, considerations too, not least the fact that marrying out of season meant we enjoyed a sizeable discount on the cost of our venue. Moreover, the need for warmth spurred my decision to wear a feather trimmed coat designed by Joanne Fleming, an accessory I now can't imagine my wedding day without. View more ....
