Wedding Memories is owned and run by me (Alex) and my wife Paula. We live in beautiful Poole in Dorset and have two amazing children, Madeline and Max. Our entrance into wedding videography certainly wasn't planned. We filmed a friends wedding and really enjoyed the filming aspect as well as applying our creatively to the editing. We filmed another and then another and then another... well you

Our Approach - Filming Relaxed, not in your face, unobtrusive, blending into the background coverage - this is how it's been from the outset and what comes naturally to us, a reflection of our personalities probably. For the most part our style is completely reportage - we will not ask you to do anything or say anything. Capturing day as it unfolds always looks best, is non cringe(!) and natural

A great wedding in early May, Tracey and Craig were married at Highcliffe Castle and their reception at the Sandbanks Hotel. Most of the wedding party arrived in a big red wedding bus, which are very popular and a great idea. The whole bridal party (a lot of them!) looked stunning and there were a couple of great shots as they walked from the front of the castle around to the ceremony room.

It seems the area we cover is getting bigger (with being in Bath on saturday). Sam and Claire's wedding on the 21st April this year was at the Hotel Mercure Box Hill in Surrey. The ceremony and reception was set in a tithe barn to the side of the hotel. It looked beautiful with all the chairs covered and the pretty lights which decorated the oak columns. I had met Claire and Sam before at their

Liam and Gemma were married at St Barnabas church, Queen Camel in somerset.Gemma walked down the isle to the des'ree 'kissing you' song - it was all very emotional. We got a fantastic shot of Liam looking back at his bride to be. Big thank you to the lady vicar (can't remember her name!) at St Barnabas who was so accommodating and trusting of us - not always the case! At the Haynes Motor Museum

This wedding really did have it all - excitement, emotion, grand locations and an entertaining first dance! Most of all it was lovely seeing friends and family witnessing and celebrating with Scott and Emma becoming husband and wife. Everyone looked brilliant, especially Emma. Their ceremony was at Canford school where the buildings (that staircase!) and grounds are amazing. After a quick visit

April's weather this year was fantastic and Rob and Alice's wedding day was no exception. Gorgeous blue skies and sunshine most of the day. The ceremony was at St Lukes church in the village of Burton, just outside Christchurch. Unfortunately that day a major road accident caused a traffic nightmare in Bournemouth which meant most people (including us!) were late arriving to the church. The

While we love Dorset and its beauty its nice to travel a bit and see other wedding venues around the south. We often travel to weddings in Surrey, Somerset and Hampshire but never as far as North Wales! So we were really pleased when Philip and Francesca booked us over local videographers to film their wedding on Anglesey, North Wales in the village town of

Nikita and Sam's wedding in January this year at the ever beautiful highcliffe castle. Filming started at the Kings hotel in christchurch where Nikita and her bridesmaids were getting ready. The ceremony room at highcliffe was finished beautifully - white chair covers (a good idea to cover the horrible green ones) and candles lined the isle. It was a very very cold day but Nikita was brave! We

Francesca and Jonathan's wedding, back in October of last year, was in the town of Milford on Sea. Filming started at All Saints church. Their vows to each other were very emotional and so we incorporated them into this highlights video. After the service friends and family congratulated them and threw confetti. The wedding reception was at the Westover hall hotel. While it looks quite ordinary

Kate and Brad are based near London but fell in love with the beauty and charm of Christchurch. The wedding started at the grand priory, the sun came out just as Kate arrived by horse and carriage. After an emotional ceremony service there were a few family photos and then off to the Christchurch harbour hotel for their wedding reception. We hadn't filmed there before and was totally surprised by

I used to work in Weymouth and loved it, so its always a pleasure travelling down there, especially to film a wedding. Nikki and Mike's wedding ceremony was at Wyke Regis All Saints church. Both Nikki and Mike arrived in limos. The bridal party all looked beautiful and there was a great anticipation as they stopped for photos outside before walking the isle. Theres a great shot of the best man

Chris and Lisa's wedding back in September at All Saints church Portland and then on to Portland Heights hotel.  They both actually dabble in a bit of wedding film making themselves but decided last minute to get someone to film so they didn't have to worry about it on the day. It was a bright sunny day. The sun poured into one side of the church creating some interesting lighting and nice

Jenny & Mike's amazing wedding day back in August. The film starts at the Fishermans Rest where Mike enjoyed a few drinks with friends and family. Jenny arrived at the church in a mint coloured convertible morris minor which is my favourite wedding car so far. I think Jenny and Mike loved it too as they had numerous photos with it when they got to the reception. Their vows during the ceremony

Wow! what an amazing wedding. Milka looked so stunning. The weather wasn't the best but it didn't stop them and family having a great day. The hotel Miramar provided the beautiful setting. The order of the day was fairly typical of English weddings but with Polish and Chinese traditions mixed in. After the wedding ceremony was the a Polish blessing with bread, salt and vodka (i think..). After

It was back to Parley (for the 7th time this year!) for Sophie and Cliff's wedding at the beginning of August. They had such nice weather. Cliff and the guys looked very smart (love the matching pink socks!). The whole bridal party looked gorgeous and Sophie's dress was quite something. As usual Parley Manor provided a stunning setting for a enjoyable day. The speeches were particularly good,

Congratulations to Kirsten and Linden who were married back in august at Highcliffe castle with the reception at the Royal Bath Hotel in Bournemouth. The wedding breakfast and evening reception was held in the grand De Vere suite at the Royal Bath. The long (and steep!) staircase at the back of the room provided a dramatic entrance to the wedding breakfast for the bride and groom. Although a dark

Until Rachel and Glen enquired with us about filming their wedding I didn't actually realise the Mezza Luna restaurant in Poole Park held weddings ceremonies and receptions. It actually makes perfect sense as it is a great location with stunning views and rooms. The food was really good too. This was a small intimate wedding where everyone (even Rachel getting ready) was so calm and relaxed.

Its always easy to create great sequences with footage from Highcliffe castle. It is undoubtedly one of the best wedding venue's in dorset and was the beautiful setting for Kelly and Alex's wedding back in August. The reception was held at the lovely Haven hotel on sandbanks. Kelly is a fan of all things Disney and so our music brief included songs such as Tale As Old As Time (beauty and the

For the past few weddings we have been trialling some new cameras - canon dslr's. These are professional still cameras that have a video mode which records HD 1080p video. They have become very popular with film makers and have been used on TV shows and Hollywood movies. They provide very shallow depth of field (background out of focus) which gives the video a very filmic look. Here are a few

The highcliffe Marriott is a great hotel with stunning views and a short walk to the beach. Paul and Louise's wedding was blessed with lovely weather.

Nina and Darren wanted a video record of their wedding ceremony at the Holy Angels church in Lilliput. They had just perfect weather, it was very very hot, which meant hard work with the heavy camera. A very handsome couple and it was clear they were going to have an amazing day with the children, family and friends. Check out the wedding car - probably my favourite one so far. -Alex
