I guess we can now claim the title of ‘International wedding film makers’! Last November, we threw the dog in the back of the car with cameras, glide tracks and tripods and with the Proclaimers playing at full-blast, we headed across the border to film Dee and Barry’s wedding in the fair city of Edinburgh.
Now Dee and Barry’s wedding film was a present from Shirley and Brian, whose wedding we had filmed in March (are you keeping up?). Shirley loves Gorgeous Media so much she has decided to make it her very own mission to bring us northwards to film things whenever she can. We love Shirley!
Dee and Barry were lovely. Their day was at the Corn Exchange in Edinburgh. We stayed over at Scottish Margaret’s house the night before and got the train into Edinburgh on the Saturday morning. The train was packed and we were laden with equipment. However, people were so helpful and friendly and keen to help us, we were well looked after. A taxi ride later, we arrived at the Corn Exchange - always a relief when you are miles away from home and in foreign parts.
Dee arrived in style in her brother’s bright orange pick up truck. Barry and Dee had met through their jobs at Rentokil. They were lovely to work with. The venue was a bit of a challenge because they had this strange lighting set up which meant that the staff were intent on changing the colour of the room which made getting the colour-balance a bit of a nightmare. We spent a really pleasant day in Edinburgh and got back to Scottish Margaret’s to capture the footage over a dry white wine and Strictly Come Dancing.
Shirley reckons we are “Rather good at this videoing malarky”. We hope to go back up there soon.
