Lianne and Brad’s wedding film focused on the winter atmosphere at Chilston Park Hotel, with the day kept in one place and the story built around the people, the speeches and the evening celebrations. Filmed in December 2018, it captured a relaxed hotel wedding without a formal first dance, so the later part of the film leaned into the dance floor and the party around them.
Morning
The morning began at Chilston Park Hotel, where Lianne got ready at the venue before the ceremony. Brad was already due at the hotel ahead of the guests, which kept the preparations and arrivals close together and gave the film a clear sense of place without needing to move between locations.
Ceremony
The ceremony took place at Chilston Park Hotel in the early afternoon. With both preparations and the reception based at the same venue, the film moved naturally from the quieter build-up into the moment Lianne and Brad were married.
Speeches and Wedding Breakfast
After the ceremony, everyone stayed at Chilston Park Hotel for the reception and wedding breakfast. The speeches came after the meal, with Lianne’s father, Brad and the best man each giving their part of the story as the evening settled in.
Evening
There was no cake cutting or first dance planned for the evening, which gave the film a different shape from many wedding trailers. Instead, the later coverage centred on the general dancing and the atmosphere of New Year’s Eve at Chilston Park Hotel.
