Santorini Wedding Videographer Captures, 'The Best Human in the World'
When Sara and Gareth approached me to create a wedding video of their wedding day in Santorini, I was excited. Sure, I would be filming a wedding in one of the most beautiful locations in the world - every wedding videographer's dream - but what excited me the most was their initial email, which was full of compliments and excitement at the prospect of having me with them on their wedding day.
We would be really (REALLY) interested in your Videography Services
“My Fiancé and I are getting married in Santorini on the 15th of May 2018. We live in Liverpool, but are getting married abroad and have seen your wedding videos online which look absolutely stunning. We were wondering if you would consider travelling abroad to do the videography at our wedding? If so, we would be really (REALLY) interested to see what kind of prices we would be looking at and whether we could muster up a package, taking in to consideration flights and accommodation. Either way, it would be great to hear from you. Many thanks,”
Lego, Star Wars and Wedding Videos
In turn, I was really (REALLY) excited at the prospect of filming Sara and Gareth's wedding day at St. Irini Chapel and the stunning Pyrgos Restaurant. Meeting at their beautiful home in Liverpool one evening, we talked about Gareth's love of Star Wars and Lego, whilst learning more about one another and my videography services. Sara and Gareth expressed a love of film, and wanted to document their day as naturally as possible. As a documentary filmmaker, our interests lined up perfectly, and we quickly worked out a package, which covered my travel and accommodation costs.
Santorini Wedding Video: InstaTeaser
Following years of planning, Gareth and Sara's wedding week had finally arrived. We arranged a little pre-shoot the night before, which would give Sara and Gareth some time to enjoy their spectacular Aegean Sea views, as well as each other's company for one final night as singletons. As the couple enjoyed their Santorini wine and toasted to their future together as husband and wife, I captured some of their moments together as the beautiful Santorini sun set behind the nearby town.
"If You Liked It, Then You Should Have Put a Ring On It" - Gareth's Spectacular Wedding Dance
Sara and Gareth's wedding day was a spectacular occasion, filled with laughter and love. Starting with bridal preparations with Sara and her bridesmaids, I thoroughly enjoyed capturing their tears of joy, as Sara shared heartfelt words in thank you cards to her lifelong friends. Taking a short trip to see Gareth and his Best Man, Shaun, I captured the two childhood friends, as they laughed and attempted to secure their ties correctly! After a short visit to see Sara in her wedding dress, we headed to St. Irini Chapel to capture their wedding ceremony, which overlooked the stunning Aegean Sea. After a short walk around a small village, we headed to Pyrgos Restaurant for the rest of the evening, where Sara and Gareth partied the night away, whilst also taking part in a game of Mr and Mrs. As Sara and Gareth added an InstaTeaser to their wedding video package, I had the pleasure of piecing together sixty seconds of their time together in Santorini as soon as I got back to the UK. This InstaTeaser showcases the night before, along with Gareth's fantastic wedding speech. I hope you enjoy watching this short film, and come back in a few months to see Gareth and Sara's wedding video!
Bye For Now - Thank You for Such an Amazing Trip to Santorini
Thank you Gareth and Sara or taking me to paradise, and for allowing me to capture your wedding day.
