Hannah and Ben’s spring wedding at Cooling Castle Barn had a very practical kind of excitement to it, the sort that comes when everything is happening in one place and everyone can settle into the day. They had chosen May at the barn, with bridal prep, the ceremony and the evening all centred around Cooling Castle, which gave the film a clear sense of place without needing to rush between locations.
Morning
The morning began at Cooling Castle Barn, with Hannah getting ready on site before the ceremony. Starting coverage earlier meant there was time to capture the details of prep properly, without it feeling squeezed in before guests arrived.
Ceremony
The ceremony took place at Cooling Castle Barn as well, keeping everyone close and giving the day a calm, contained feel. With the barn as the backdrop, the focus stayed on Hannah and Ben, the walk in, the vows and those first few minutes afterwards when everyone begins to relax.
Evening
Hannah and Ben added extra coverage so the film could stay with them further into the evening. That made room for more of the party and the first dance, which was exactly the sort of moment worth keeping in the final wedding film.
