The film for Steve and Leanne was about keeping the day close and personal, with the spring setting at Harty Estate giving everything a clear sense of place. Rather than chasing big set pieces, it followed the way the afternoon moved, prep on site, an outdoor ceremony planned for later in the day, then a relaxed evening centred around the cake cut and first dance.
Morning
Leanne and Steve both prepared at The Ferry House Inn, which kept the start of the coverage tied closely to the venue. With filming beginning in the afternoon, the focus was on the final getting ready moments, the details coming together and the short move towards the ceremony.
Ceremony
The ceremony was planned outside at 4.30pm, weather permitting, making the most of the April setting at Harty Estate. Steve and Leanne kept things simple and focused, with the film paying attention to the small reactions, the arrival, and the moment everyone gathered for the ceremony.
Speeches and Wedding Breakfast
There were no speeches planned, so the reception had a more informal feel after the ceremony. The wedding breakfast gave guests time to settle in, talk, and enjoy being together without the usual run of formal addresses.
Evening
By 7.30pm, attention moved to the cake cutting and first dance. After Steve and Leanne’s first dance, Leanne shared a father daughter dance, giving the evening a personal close before the celebrations carried on.
