I’ll be back later on with all the images and details for this beautiful Real Wedding at Denton Hall, Yorkshire, coordinated by a fantastic group of Brides Up North Featured Suppliers, including Andrea from Fabulous Day, Leafy Couture and Box Tree Events, but first I wanted to share this amazing little stop motion wedding film with you.
.
Meredith, our bride, was a real fan of Brides Up North during the planning process (Hello Meredith! We love you too!) and writes: I have to tell you how surreal and flattering it is that you are interested in my wedding! I’ve spent much of the past year oogling your website and to think you liked it makes me blush. Now I believe that every wedding is beautiful, but when a big day is as pretty as Meredith and Leigh’s was, how could we not feature it on these pages? Blush away Meredith!
.
I usually favour images over film – and yes, we didn’t have a wedding video at our own wedding, and yes, I do hugely regret that – but wedding videography has suddenly got so snazzy and slick (see this interview with Brides Up North Featured Supplier Story Of Your Day) and this little film by Cornerstone Cinema is just so quirky and cute, I felt it would be shameful if it were lost in a larger feature.
.
Enjoy this genius little production, and watch out for those purple dragons!

You’ve all been loving the fabulous Oz inspired bridal shoot that I have featured this week, and now it’s time to take to the silver screen, with one last look behind the scenes…

Fancy something a little bit different with your Friday morning bacon butty? I don’t mean HP instead of Heinz either. Even better, if you can believe it (depending on whether you are operating on a Thursday night “it’s nearly Christmas” hangover, I suppose).
.
This morning we are in the North West conducting a little underwater art experiment with friend of the wedding blog, Craig of Unforgettable Memories. During this trash the dress styled film shoot, Craig and his small team explore movement and grace. Maybe not something you do every weekend, granted, but certainly captivating, definitely different and utterly beautiful. Soak it up and be inspired.

Press play.

Craig says: Now, I know that this isn’t your typical bridal shoot and that many of you would be horrified to think of your stunning wedding dress being thrown in a pool. However, you can’t say it isn’t different, and you certainly can’t say it isn’t beautiful.
.
As trained diver I have always loved being underwater and have created some wonderful footage of the tranquillity of underwater life and when I started producing wedding films I saw similarities between the detailed beauty of bridal gowns and the detailed beauty of the underwater environment so it seemed like a good idea to bring the two together. However it wasn’t until I was having a conversation with Doris Designs who provide bridal petticoats that this actually came to fruition.
.
.
.
.
During our conversation about a number of different shoots Doris happened to mention that she would love to see how her wonderful skirts would react in water, and I certainly wasn’t going to waste the opportunity to show her. As we discussed the options I was getting more and more excited about how I could make this happen and immediately began to set the wheels in motion.
.
.
.
.
I contacted a local dive club who happened to use a local pool for their practise sessions. They were extremely helpful and allowed me to go down and take a look at what they could offer and we agreed that the shoot could take place during one of the regular evenings. So pool sorted I now needed dresses and a model. I already had a couple of wedding dresses which I had previously used for creative shoots so that wasn’t a problem; however finding a model who was willing and able to wear one, in a pool, with her eyes open and still look gracious was to be the biggest challenge.
.
.
.
.
Luckily for me, I do get involved in a wide range of video projects which take me all around the country and during a shoot for a music video I happened to meet a lovely girl who was a burlesque dancer so I picked up the phone and called her. As this was something she hadn’t done before she was extremely excited to get involved and a date was set. When the time came I met Talulah and we headed off to the pool. She did her own makeup and got into the water. This is the end result.

Well hello Brides Up North! I hope that you are having a super duper weekend so far. Sorry for the little teaser this morning… but boy do I have some exciting things lined up for this little wedding blog! Keep reading!
.
Anyway, on to this afternoon’s post. So, it seems to me to be quite the thing to mix a little video blogging into the usual wedding blogging schedule. With this in mind, and as a taster, I asked my friend Steven from Forever Film to shoot a few frames of me saying hello and explaining a little bit about the Brides Up North wedding blog. Cat Deeley need not worry, that’s all I am saying (and what is that face I am pulling in the still?!)! This took a few takes – no auto cue for me, unfortunately – but here I am on my first attempt at television presenting*…What an (ahem!) natural! Be kind, Brides Up North, going in front of the camera is scary!

If you love Forever Film’s amazing edited films as much as I do (and I am a HUGE HUGE fan of this talented man with a cam), then I have some brilliant news.
.
Steven is looking to expand his portfolio of beautiful work, and so that he can amass as varied a selection as possible to show off his super skills, he wants to offer Brides Up North a huge 50% off his services for weddings that take place before October 2011.
.
Got a little left in your budget but thought that you couldn’t afford a video? Think again! This offer is for you! At this awesome reduced rate a full day of filming will set you back just £447.50, and a half day £275. This is an amazing opportunity and dates are sure to go FAST, so contact Forever Film sharpish.

Steven would also be happy to share his work with any suppliers who recommend his services to their brides.
