It was freezing. The wind was picking up and the confetti shot almost didn’t happen. Then they both tripped! Take a look at this snippet from Dan and Maisie’s highlight film to see how I weave emotion in with chaos and celebration.
Dan and Maisie weren’t sure about it, and I couldn’t blame them. If you haven’t been to the Clifton Arms, before ( I recommend you do, it really is a beautiful place ) it sits right on the Lytham seafront, so you feel every bit of the weather it throws at you.
I had a gut feeling though, so I pulled them aside and said trust me, let’s do it.
Then they both tripped walking down the steps. Right in the middle of it, confetti flying everywhere the two of them stumbling together as everyone erupted.
One of the guests had a camera I’d handed out earlier in the day, and that second angle pulled the whole thing together. The imperfect moment became the perfect one.
That’s the thing I keep coming back to. Your wedding day doesn’t have to go to plan. The bits nobody planned for are usually the bits people remember.
What I love about this run of footage is how much it moves. You sit in the quiet of the ceremony, then you’re thrown straight into the chaos of confetti, then I bring you back into the room for a speech from Maisie’s sister that had everyone in tears, her included. Real emotion, to chaos, to tears. That cycle is what I’m always building towards in the edit.
Dan and Maisie, thanks for going for it 🙌 I really enjoyed working on your Films.
