A Love Like a River: Lorena and Georgina's Heartfelt Wedding at Doddington Hall

A Tale of Two Cultures

Lorena Andreu Faz and Georgina Morris are a testament to the beauty of blending cultures and personalities. Lorena, with her vibrant Spanish flair, and Georgina, with her gentle English charm, create a perfect balance. They met online at the end of 2020 and have been inseparable ever since. Together, they love spending time with family and friends, cooking, traveling, and sharing a passion for animals. Their playful and light hearted nature brings joy to everyone around them.

The Proposal

The marriage proposal was a sweet surprise at home. Lorena had been out shopping, while Georgina stayed home, feeling under the weather. Upon Lorena’s return, she asked Georgina to vacate the room and put on matching pajamas. Georgina, expecting a simple surprise of snacks, was astonished to see candles, hear music, and find Lorena holding a ring. It was a moment filled with love and unexpected joy.

The Venue: Doddington Hall

Lorena and Georgina chose Doddington Hall for their special day. The beautiful Coach House venue, with its stunning gardens and ample accommodation, was perfect for hosting Lorena’s family from Spain. The team at Doddington Hall made the experience unforgettable, providing exceptional service and a picturesque setting for their wedding.

The Celebration

On May 18th, 2024, under the sunny and pleasant spring skies, Lorena and Georgina celebrated their wedding day. The arrival at Doddington Hall was greeted by a mother duck and her ducklings, setting a charming scene. The ceremony was particularly heartfelt, with both ladies giving personalized vows to one another. The excitement and nerves for each woman were palpable during preps and especially up to the ceremony.

The ceremony also included beautiful readings in English by Georgina's mum Mandy and Lorena's mum Rosa, adding a deeply personal touch. After the ceremony, we took the couple on a walk around the beautiful gardens and grounds for couples shots, and again at golden hour for some stunning sunset shots. Another wonderful aspect of having two brides was capturing the two reveals with their fathers, creating lovely, heartfelt, and intimate moments on video.

The evening reception was a lively affair, marked by emotional speeches from both sides of the wedding party. Georgina's best friend, Anastaziya, delivered touching anecdotes and tributes, describing Georgina as a "Defender best friend." Lorena’s bridesmaids, Anastacia and Sandra, also shared heartfelt speeches. Guests enjoyed lawn games during the reception, adding to the fun and relaxed atmosphere. The Spanish tradition of Medusa dancing added a unique and joyous touch to the celebration. The day was filled with laughter, love, and a perfect party atmosphere led by the spirited Spanish contingent.

Why a Wedding Film?

Lorena and Georgina wanted a wedding film to capture these precious moments and create lasting memories with their favorite people. They were drawn to our unique style of editing, particularly how we seamlessly weave together the voiceovers of speeches and intimate moments to enhance the emotional depth of the film.

A Celestial Celebration at Doddington Hall

A Celestial Celebration

Amidst the elegance of Doddington Hall, Georgina and James exchange vows in a ceremony brimming with celestial charm, complemented by the autumnal allure of pumpkins. The coach house hosts a joyous reception, where heartfelt speeches and autumnal vibes fill the air. Under a mystical sky, Holly Bryan and Luke Flisher capture every magical moment, while a brief shower and atmospheric mist add a touch of whimsy to the day.

“While photos are wonderful for preserving memories, we truly believe that a wedding film captures the essence of our special day, from the intricate details of the setting and styling to the lovely interactions between ourselves and our guests. I was certain about having a videographer, but James needed some convincing. It was his best man who finally persuaded him, sharing his regret about not having one at his own wedding. We were impressed by the editing and the overall feel of the films you've created. Each film seemed personalized to the couple, which was encouraging for us, especially knowing you had previously filmed at our venue. Watching your films was an emotional experience, especially with the narrations over the footage."“

Cherishing Our Journey

“As both teachers, James and I are fortunate to have regular holidays together. We enjoy exploring new places, with some of our favorite trips including Iceland and walks in the Lakes. We're also big fans of binge-watching Netflix series, particularly Stranger Things. Occasionally, you'll find me engrossed in a Stephen King novel while James plays on the PS5. Family is incredibly important to us, and we hope to start our own family one day. We're each other's biggest supporters, always encouraging each other to pursue our aspirations.”

A Surprise Proposal

“James initially planned to propose on Halloween, my favourite day of the year. However, due to a delay in the ring, he had to rethink his plan. Instead, he proposed just over a few weeks later on 18/11/21, coincidentally three years after he first asked me out for a drink at 3 am. It was a Thursday, after school, and completely unexpected. As I busied myself with chores at home, James suddenly got down on one knee in the kitchen. It was a thoughtful and romantic ending to an otherwise ordinary Thursday!”

Choosing Doddington Hall

“We chose Doddington Hall because of its convenient location between our families, from both Grimsby and Woodhall Spa. We were drawn to the hall's rich heritage and the fact that it has remained in the same family for generations. The grounds are simply spectacular, and the timing of our wedding coinciding with pumpkin week added to the charm. James was particularly impressed with the locally sourced and home-reared menu options.”

Creating Our Dream Atmosphere

“Like many couples, we want our guests to relax and enjoy themselves on our special day. We envision a cozy, autumnal atmosphere filled with fairy lights and lanterns, creating a magical ambiance for all to enjoy.”
