This wedding film set out to hold onto the contrast of Kelly and Michael’s day at Farnham Castle, the quiet preparation inside the castle buildings, the music in the ceremony room, and the shift into a lively October evening. Autumn suited the setting, with the castle giving the film a strong sense of place without needing anything overdone.
Morning
Kelly got ready at The Gatehouse beside Farnham Castle, with preparations beginning in the morning before the short move across for the ceremony. Michael and his party prepared in a room within the castle, then spent time on Castle Street before returning for the ceremony.
Ceremony
Guests began arriving in the early afternoon, with the ceremony taking place at Farnham Castle at 2pm. A string trio played in the ceremony room, giving the vows a clear, elegant atmosphere that carried through into the drinks reception afterwards.
Speeches and Wedding Breakfast
The reception stayed within Farnham Castle, keeping everyone in one place after the ceremony. Speeches came before the meal, with the bride’s father, Michael, and the two best men speaking ahead of the wedding breakfast.
Evening
The evening began with the bouquet throw, followed by the cake cutting and Kelly and Michael’s first dance. They kept the dancing simple with one first dance, which gave the film a clean final run into the night.
