Wedding videography at Hawkstone Hall
Stacey & Ben’s day at Hawkstone
When Stacey & Ben contacted me to film their wedding at Hawksone Hall, I instantly knew this was a day I’d want to be a part of. First of, the venue itself: Hawkstone Hall is a Grade I listed Georgian mansion located in the Shropshire countryside, and the type of venue that really suits my style of wedding cinematography. Every corner of the Hall has a story to tell, and I wanted the film to really bring to life the perfect decor of the venue, with a mix of old Georgian architecture, quirky jazz items, gold ceilings, sweeping staircases and amazing art.
It was my first time shooting there, but I instantly felt like the story of the day was going to be magical. Everything about Hawkstone Hall has been carefully restored to retain its original character, while offering a modern style, so this created the perfect setting for their wedding.
Having got to know Stacey and Ben before their wedding, I also knew Ben was deeply in touch with his emotions, and that their personality would really shine on film. He wears his heart on his sleeve, and this emotional connection is was stands out in the final piece. Stacey and Ben’s wedding film captures the heart of their day, focusing on one unforgettable moment—Ben nervously waiting at the end of the aisle. His emotions are on full display as he stands there, surrounded by his best man, his mother and the rest of his family, anxiously anticipating the moment he would see Stacey.
As the film begins, I wanted to immediately capture the whole essence of the day in a few shots: Ben’s nervous energy, and Stacey in her father’s arm as she walks down the aisle. These two shots instantly draw you into the story. Ben’s anticipation set the tone for the creative vision of the film. This was the moment he had been waiting for, and when Stacey appears, his reaction says it all: pure love, joy, and relief.
Beyond the emotional exchange at the ceremony, Stacey and Ben’s personalities shine throughout the film. Stacey’s vibrant energy and infectious laughter brought warmth to every frame, whether she was sharing a quiet moment with her dad or hugging guests. Ben’s calm demeanour and gentle humour complemented Stacey’s spark, and together, they radiated a joy that was beautiful to watch.
Adding another layer of depth to the film was the father of the bride’s heartfelt speech. His words, filled with pride and love, reflected not only his admiration for Stacey but also his gratitude for the happiness Ben brought into her life. Capturing this moment on film was a reminder of the importance of family and the love that surrounded Stacey and Ben on their wedding day.
