A little while ago I filmed a wedding ceremony in Surrey before moving on to West Sussex to film the wedding reception.
The day was just right in so many ways ... the newlyweds, their families, the church, etc. Even the official photographer and I worked well together from the moment we met, that said I did film his wedding last year!
The reception venue, The Ravenswood in Sharpthorne, is set amidst 20 acres of lawns, gardens and lakes and is among the most picturesque of settings for the most demanding of wedding schedules. But, adding that extra little something was the sound of The Bluebell Railway in the distance.
The finished wedding film has not only captured the beauty of the venue, the intimacy of the friends and family and the joy of the day but also the splendour of the English countryside complete with the sound of steam trains and whistles gently puffing their way through the soundtrack.
Without this extra dimension the film would not have been lacking ... but with the added sound picked up by my faithful Sennheiser film-making microphones the scene was enhanced so much.
Good sound is just one of the many reasons for booking a professional film-maker to capture your once in a life-time day. Only then can you truly enjoy it time and time again.
