The very EMOTIONAL & romantic wedding film of Kirsty & Stan from the Orangery wedding venue in Kent, aptly named "See You Soon, With all My Love".
What can I say about Kirsty & Stan? These two stole our hearts on their beautiful wedding day at The Orangery in Maidstone & what a magical- and emotional - wedding day it was!
Reading letters from each other on the wedding morning, a beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony, absolutely stunning moments between them & one hell of a party- this day really did have it all. I’ve always been a big advocate of encouraging you to go that extra mile in order to give me the tools I need to tell your story as best I can & nothing can beat that than a letter reading. I’m so, so happy that Kirsty & Stan trusted me to film those very personal & intimate readings, as they completely transformed their wedding film & gave me a strong, emotional narrative to work with.
Very sadly, Kirsty's Mother had passed away before she & Stan had met, however she was very much a prominent part of their wedding day & as such, it felt only right to include her as a integral part of the wedding film as well. Kirsty sent me some home footage of her late Mother which I wove into the film in a truly emotional & sentimental segment. This isn’t something I always do- it has to fit naturally into the film & the story, but Coral was such a big part of the wedding day it wouldn’t have been right not to have a small nod to her in the film. Again, i’m truly grateful to Kirsty for allowing me to use this footage & trusting me to portray the clips, & her mother, in the right way. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t choke up a few times myself when I was putting this together.
A huge congratulations to this incredible couple & hopefully this epic film will bring a smile to your faces for many years to come.
“Firstly – The films themselves are unreal! Stan and I were over the over the moon with how beautiful and detailed they are and how talented Luke is.
When researching videographers initially I came across a specific film on Luke’s show reel that made me instantly reach out to him, because it was so fantastic (I had cried watching it). So we had of course been eagerly anticipating how ours would turn out and it did not disappoint!! Not only are our films a perfect story of our day from start to finish (which I admit for me the ceremony was a bit of a blur), so to be able to watch that back was just so so lovely - but also the magic touches, weaving in my family home footage, the music that’s been selected and how everything has been put together, is really just amazing.
Luke has really made the way we will look back on that day, (already the best day of our lives) so much more meaningful to us.
His unique way of story-telling and working with the speeches and candid moments throughout the day is fantastic. There were so many laughs, tears, kisses, bad jokes and even kids tripping over - that have been captured and brought together as an authentic play back of the day. The screenshots and all the additional packages Luke offers are a really great idea and we absolutely love the shots we’ve received.
Luke is professional from start to finish but also incredibly personable, making it so easy to work with him. He listened to everything we wanted and gave us more. I have had countless friends and family say that ours is the best wedding video and that they’ve never seen anything like it.
Thank you so much Luke – we are so happy with our decision to work with you.”
