ALAINA & SAM | HILLESDEN

2nd August 2019 Alaina & Sam wedding video, Buckinghamshire videographer

Our Love Story

How did you guys meet?

We met at school when we were 16 years old. We were friends for 7 years before becoming a couple.

Tell me a bit about the two of you, what do you guys do? How do you spend your time?

We love to travel the world: Holidays have included safari in south Africa, driving down the west coast of America, Maldives, Thailand, Cambodia, Sumatra trekking to see the orangutans. We love food and wine – we have been to France and California to the wine regions and plan on going to cape town in November for our honeymoon. We love a drink and to socialise with our friends. We have lived in our house in Brill for 5 years and absolutely love the village!

How did the proposal go down? (all the gushy details, I love this bit!)

Sam proposed on a beach in Ireland. Ireland is somewhere we have always talked about going but never have. Alaina knew he was going to propose (because she always books the trips & holidays!) so had her nails done ready! Following the engagement we didn’t tell anyone for 24 hours, so had a night partying and celebrating followed by driving the ring of Kerry the next day before returning to the beach where we got engaged with a bottle of champagne to facetime family and friends.

How did you choose your wedding venue(s)?

Stockingwood Farm is Alaina’s grand parents house and where they have always lived since before she was born. Alaina used to spend a lot of time at Stockingwood farm growing up – after school and in the school holidays. She is very close to her grandparents and hopefully her grandad will give her away on the wedding day if he is well enough.  All saints church in Hillesden is where Alaina and her cousins and siblings were christened and is only 1 mile down the road from Stockingwood Farm. Sam wanted to get married in a church as his family are religious so it was the perfect choice.  Putting a marquee up at Stockingwood Farm seemed like the perfect choice as it means we can have a wedding weekend and celebrate over a couple of days. The wedding is on Friday 2nd August and the after party is on Saturday 3rd August.

What sort of experience do you want your guests to have?

A GREAT PAAARRRTTTYYYYYY!!!!

Can you describe some of the details and stylings, does your wedding have a theme?

We have focused on food, booze and music. The theme is clean, crisp and classic – the marquee will represent this and the flowers are all white also. #bishbashboshed is our wedding hashtag and will be on the photos printed from our photobooth to create a wedding book.

What was the hardest decision during the planning?

Deciding how much over our budget we are going to go!

What advice would you give to couples planning a wedding?

When you get stressed in all the details, planning and logistics, remember that the wedding is about you as a couple and celebrating your wedding day and love for each other.

CERIS AND ED | STOKE PARK

13Th July 2019 Ceris & Ed Stoke Park wedding video, Buckinghamshire videographer

Our Love Story

How did you guys meet?

We were set up on a blind date by mutual friends. I stood Ed up on our first date (which he never lets me forget) only for us to rearrange a week later!

Tell me a bit about the two of you, what do you guys do? How do you spend your time?

We both love life and share so much in common that it feels like we’ve both spent our life waiting to find each other! We are best friends and enjoy every minute of our busy lives together. We’re blessed and lucky to be able to experience amazing holidays, hotels, restaurants, concerts, sporting events and parties however despite this hustle and bustle our favourite thing is to be together cuddled up on the sofa or in bed having lazy lie ins at the weekend.

How did the proposal go down? (all the gushy details, I love this bit!)

Ed proposed in the garden of the house he used to live in. The garden was around 2.5 acres and a large part of it was an overgrown wilderness which had paths mowed in it to be like a secret garden. I was due to be coming up from Swansea on the Wednesday and on the Tuesday Ed called me and said he’d seen some really strange lights in the garden and to remind him to show me the next day! When I came up the next day I said about going to see the lights but he said that it wasn’t yet dark (it was early July) so the lights wouldn’t be there. Eventually around 10:30-11pm he said that we should go and see the lights, by this time I was in my pyjamas! We trekked through the undergrowth by torch light and eventually Ed pointed out a glow in the distance, I immediately thought it was some aliens or UFOs as he’d mentioned that earlier in the day and I couldn’t explain it any other way! As we got closer it became apparent that it was a circle of what seemed like hundreds of candles and my thoughts turned from UFOs to some sort of pagan sacrificial ritual!!! I was completely thrown and was trying to look in the bushes for runaway pagans when Ed called my name and as I turned round he was stood with a ring in his hand!

How did you choose your wedding venue(s)?

We’d been to stay at Stoke Park before and Ceris had said it would be an amazing venue for a wedding, so it was the only place we looked at for the wedding.

What sort of experience do you want your guests to have?

We want them to enjoy the day, reacquaint themselves with old friends, make new friends, eat, drink, dance and laugh through the whole day!

Can you describe some of the details and stylings, does your wedding have a theme?

Glamourous, glitzy and classy with a pink, white and sparkles theme

What was the hardest decision during the planning?

Whether to walk down the aisle on my own or choose someone else to replace my dad

What advice would you give to couples planning a wedding?

Be laid back and don’t move house, buy a business and go through court all at the same time!

Our Love Story

How did you guys meet?

We met on 18 June 2010 in London in a bar where we were watching England play football in the World Cup

Tell me a bit about the two of you, what do you guys do? How do you spend your time?

Anthony works in the City for a bank, and Courtney is an Assistant in Banking based in Canary Wharf. We enjoy travelling, nature, music, and spending time with family and friends, and our cat (Luna)

Anthony proposed to Courtney on holiday in Bali on 24 June 2016, following a lobster dinner on a private jetty at the Ayana resort

How did you choose your wedding venue(s)?

We were looking for a country house/mansion venue where we could have both the ceremony and reception, and were recommended Hedsor by one of Courtney’s colleagues who got married there a few years ago. We loved the venue at first sight!

Can you describe some of the details and stylings, does your wedding have a theme?

Groomsmen wearing navy and grey, bridesmaids wearing grey/mauve. Subtle/neutral colours such as cream, champagne, white etc. No specific theme.

What was the hardest decision during the planning?

The dress! And also the table plan! (still in progress…)

Start early and lots of research!
