Last Monday I had the huge pleasure of filming a Houstoun House wedding video at the wedding of Liza and Phil.

It’s always a pleasure to be creating a Houstoun House wedding video. I’ve filmed a number of weddings there over the years. With January typically being classed as a quieter time of year for weddings, it was great to be chosen to film Liza and Phil’s beautiful winter wedding.

My day started with filming the bridal party preparations at Houstoun House. Afterwards I headed across to Saints John Cantius and Nicholas church in Broxburn, where the ceremony was being held.

Bride Liza looked beautiful as she arrived at the church. The wedding ceremony was very moving and at times emotional, it was clear to see how in love Liza and Phil are.

After the wedding ceremony everyone headed back to Houstoun House for the wedding ceremony. One of the highlights of the day was the change to the standard wedding reception format. All the bridesmaids and groomsmen were announced into the room, then they stood opposite each other in two lines. Then the newly-weds were announced into the room, with the guys and girls letting off lots of party poppers over head. The newly-weds then started their first dance, after which everyone was seated for the meal. This was a very simple but exciting change to how a newly-wed couple are usually announced into the room. Going straight into the first dance kept up the momentum of excitement and makes for a really cool part of the wedding DVD!

My day ended with filming the speeches (all 11 of them!) and a couple of dances. The party was in full swing by the time I left! What a fantastic day and a real pleasure to be working for such a lovely couple.

Below are a few still images I’ve taken from the video camera (these are video images, not photographs, and give you a great example of the quality image my hi-definition video cameras can produce).
