Hosting a wedding at home can be a daunting task, but when I arrived at Chloe's family home in Surrey to film her marriage to Mark last month, I arrived to a very relaxed atmosphere where everything was prepared and organised.
As the wedding reception and bridal preparations were taking place at the same location I was able to capture both the wedding party getting ready as well as the final finishing touches being made to the marquee and garden. Chloe has many talents including an artistic flair which you'll spot in the hand painted signs which feature in the wedding film. At the wedding I took a photo of Chloe's welcome sign and adapted it to use as titling in the video.
Following the wedding ceremony held at St Mary's Church in West Horsley, guests arrived back at the house to be treated by a performance by Berkshire Brass who were playing during the drinks reception in the garden. Despite being April, guests enjoyed several bursts of spring sunshine!
After dinner and speeches in the marquee the wedding party continued into the night with a band and Chloe and Mark's DIY photobooth in the summer house.
Congratulations to Chloe and Mark!
