What does a ton of confetti, a Suffolk wedding venue, a massive party and a baby gender reveal all have in common - well ladies and gentleman this leads us to the fab wedding of Chloe & Jake and of course, yep you have guessed it a brand new wedding video!

Wedding Videography for Chloe & Jake’s Suffolk Wedding

Our latest wedding videography for Chloe & Jake’s wedding sent us to Park Hill in Suffolk. Park is Hill is equipped with a hotel for wedding accommodation, a barn for the wedding ceremony, marquee for the all important wedding celebrations and to top it off it is all set in a private woodland and gardens. So I did mention there was a baby gender reveal too so it was a mega double celebration. After many year doing wedding videography I have found this to be really popular. It all makes sense - if you are getting married there is a high chance this will be at a similar time to be starting or addding to your family numbers. A wedding is a day that you always have your closest family, friends, loved ones and wolf pack around you so a baby gender reveal can tie in quite well with your wedding day.

I wanted to film this in a similar way and approach to a wedding confetti shot. As Chloe & Jake were firing of some baby gender reveal confetti cannons, there was obviously some kind of coloured confetti being shot out a super high speed/ million miles per hour, (we just didnt know whether it would be pink or blue - although I did guess correctly!) So I shot this at 120 frames per second (or for you non geek/camera people) is just a super slow motion recording lots of detail and data so it can be slowed down later on when wedding video editing!

While we are talking about filming in slow mo, it is worthy to note how epic Chloe & Jake’s confetti shot came out. I mean I do this every week, but this confetti shot was epic. Two reasons why - 1. Chloe & Jake bought some lovely and really large/ oversized confetti that was really colourful. 2. Everyone threw the confetti up and not at them! Ha! (the wedding guests were ace and listened to our instruction… throwing confetti at the wedding couple may seem really funny but it will actually look terrible in wedding videography and wedding photography, who want to eat confetti? Ha!

Using a drone for your wedding videography!

Wherever you are getting married, drone videography of your wedding venue and your wedding ceremony location/ church adds another element to your wedding video. It’s mega-popular now and almost the norm with most couples wanting drone videography when booking a wedding videographer for their Norfolk or Suffolk Wedding.

What permissions, documents and insurances will my wedding venue require to allow a drone at our wedding? This is a really great question, one which comes up an awful lot! Most wedding venues are now used to having a drone at their wedding venues and are very welcoming but will no doubt have to do some due diligence and will want copies of documents sent across before the wedding date.

Wedding venues will usually require the following;

• A valid Operational authorisation issued by the Civil Aviation Authority (or C.A.A). This authorisation is reissued annually upon receipt of satisfactory documents, insurance and flight logs.

• Copy of drone-specific insurance and risk assessments

• They may want to have a meeting prior to the wedding day to go over any questions they may have to ensure the safety of guests, team members, estate buildings and neighbours to the wedding venue etc

• Some venues may require a flight plan, this will show where the drone operator intends to fly on the day (this isn’t very common but has been known)

Race Wedding Videography now has an easy-to-access portal for all my Health & Safety & Drone documents pack. If your venue needs copies of all these kinds of documents - just shout and I can send over a link and password. Your Wedding venue can then download everything in x1 simple PDF!

Creating magical Wedding Videography of well….magic

Booking a magician for your wedding creates a real buzz and excitement for you and your wedding guests. That’s precisely what `Chloe & Jake did when they booked Ed Crafter. Magic at your wedding can really dazzle wedding guests and be thoroughly entertained with lots of amazing magic, laughter and energy. In terms of wedding videography, this is of course creating some great stuff to film for several reasons. Wedding Videography can capture some great reactions to what a wedding magician is doing. Also as a wedding day is so crazy busy and you of course won’t see everything that happens on your wedding day as a bride and groom so getting to see some snippets of magic and your seeing your wedding guests be entertained is a real joy!
