Hannah & Jack — 8th April 2026
A bright spring wedding film from Pendrell Hall, with emotional Story Interviews, a beautiful ceremony, a huge confetti moment, smoke grenades in the evening light and a first dance that became a family moment.

Hannah & Jack — Pendrell Hall
Hannah and Jack's wedding was filmed on a bright April day at Pendrell Hall. The grounds were just coming into spring, the light stayed kind, and the venue gave us plenty of space for interviews, ceremony coverage, confetti, portraits, smoke grenades and the evening party.
Pendrell Hall is one of those venues I always enjoy coming back to. It is familiar, easy to move around, and full of little corners that work well on film when you know where to look.
For Hannah and Jack's wedding, I arrived early because this was one of the first weddings where I brought in proper sit-down Story Interviews. The idea was to create something more intentional than quick messages to camera — a calm space where the people closest to the couple could talk about what the day meant to them.
The morning started before the venue was fully dressed. I set up quietly in the ceremony room, then spoke with Hannah, her maid of honour and her mum before the day became too busy. Those early conversations gave the film a deeper layer before the visuals had even properly started.
Jack was quieter at first, more in an observant mode, but once he had time to settle into the venue and understand how the interviews would work, everything felt natural. Later, I spoke with him, his best man and his parents, which added another side to the story of the day.
The bridal suite at Pendrell Hall is a lovely space for final preparations and portraits. Once Hannah was ready, we filmed the final details, portraits with the bridesmaids and the build-up before everyone moved towards the ceremony.
The ceremony itself was short, sweet and full of warmth, with readings from both mums before Hannah and Jack said their vows. After the first kiss and signing, everyone moved outside for one of those proper Pendrell Hall confetti moments at the front of the house.
After drinks and family portraits, we took Hannah and Jack into the gardens for couple shots. The swing, hidden garden, benches and open views all gave us different looks without needing to take them away from their guests for too long. Their daughter joined them for a lovely family moment as they walked back towards the house before the wedding breakfast.
During the meal there was a surprise singing waiter performance, organised quietly behind the scenes and kept from almost everyone until the moment it happened. It lifted the room straight away and brought a completely different energy into the day.
Later, as the sun was setting, we went outside again for smoke grenade shots with the groomsmen, then moved into one of Pendrell Hall's hidden garden areas with fairy lights for a few quieter evening portraits.
The first dance started with Hannah and Jack on their own before their daughter joined them halfway through. It became a proper family moment before the guests came in and the dance floor opened up.
This wedding included intentional sit-down interviews with the couple and the people closest to them. These are not random guest messages or a video guestbook. They are calm, guided conversations that help bring out what people are feeling but may not naturally say during the day.
For Hannah and Jack, those interviews helped give the final film more emotional context — not just what happened, but what the day meant to the people living it.
Because I know Pendrell Hall well, I can move through the day without wasting time working out where everything should happen. That helps with timing, especially when there are interviews, drone shots, ceremony prep, family portraits, couple portraits and evening moments all happening across the same day.
I arrive early when extra storytelling elements, like Story Interviews, need time and space.
I use the ceremony room, bridal suite and gardens differently depending on the light and timeline.
The front of the house works brilliantly for confetti because there is enough space for a proper walk-through.
The gardens, swing, benches and hidden corners give plenty of variety for couple portraits.
I keep portraits efficient so couples still get time with their guests.
The evening spaces work well for first dance, party coverage and more atmospheric shots once the light drops.
I guide when needed, but keep the final film feeling natural and true to the day.
