Pre-ceremony preparations
It was a wet, dreary day. However, spirits were high and certainly not dampened by the weather as the excitement for Marielle and Graham’s marriage nuptials grew.
Marielle and Graham’s wedding was filled with excitement and surprises, love and laughter, and a day full of fun with a fabulous crowd of people.
Straying just a little from wedding tradition, Marielle and Graham’s wedding reflected their personalities and a few of their favourite things;
- a DeLorean car and hoverboard (as seen in the ‘Back To The Future’ movies)
- Doctor Who’s Tardis
- a full-sized Dalek!
Arriving at Dunglass House, there was such a warm welcome from Marielle and her family. Such a lovely, friendly group made for a super relaxed morning with a great atmosphere, the perfect start to Marielle and Graham’s big day.
With hair and makeup in full swing, the girls enjoyed fizz, a few nibbles and a lot of laughs as I captured candid shots for the wedding film.
Jonathon filmed our groom Graham and his best man in the Steading Cottage on Dunglass Estate. The boys then made their way to greet friends and family gathered in Dunglass Church, a 15th-century semi-ruined building on the private estate.
Humanist ceremony in Dunglass Church
Marielle and Graham had a wonderfully personable Humanist ceremony led by Graham’s brother, Andy. Marielle’s brothers and sister gave beautiful, loving, and heartfelt readings.
The church was filled with laughter, love and happiness as our delightful bride and groom exchanged marriage vows and wedding rings.
Marielle and Graham promised each other new adventures, never going to bed on an argument. It was love and a commitment between best friends, lovers, soul mates.
Drinks reception and surprise DeLorean car
The piper played in celebration as our newlyweds walked through their ‘bubble tunnel’, a real crowd-pleaser as guests congratulated our happy couple.
In the marquee, candelabras flickered, adding to the romantic ambience. Guests mingled, enjoying cocktails served in teacups and Dusty The Magician provided entertainment to the guests.
We filmed the reactions and laughter as guests enjoyed amusing and touching speeches from Marielle’s Dad and Graham. There was a S.W.O.T analysis from Graham’s best man, complete with a PowerPoint presentation!
Speeches
Finally, we got the answer to ‘why is there a full-sized Tardis in the marquee?’ Graham asked Marielle what she would like for her 30th birthday. The answer? She wanted a time-travelling machine, of course! So Graham built her one. And it’s awesome! We especially liked the idea of using it as a bar in their garden. And the DeLorean? Well, that was a surprise gift from Marielle to Graham.
Then our beautiful bride Marielle said a few words and said happy birthday to her little cousin, who was sharing his 13th birthday to be with them today.
Cake cutting and dancing
Our day filming drew to a close with coverage of cutting the beautiful wedding cake (topped with a Tardis!) and the first few dances. It was a perfect ending to such a fantastic day.
Marielle and Graham, thank you for allowing us to be film your fabulously unique wedding day.
