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. This approach allows the true essence of the day to shine through, making the storytelling more personal and heartfelt. They discovered us through a Doddington Hall wedding video on social media and instantly fell in love with our work, recognizing the distinctive touch we bring to each wedding film.

Wedding Video at Brackenborough Hotel, Louth

You are about to view the wedding video of two of the loveliest people you could ever hope to meet. It was an absolute privilege and a pleasure to be asked to produce their wedding video. Alicia & Sam have boundless love for one another and more than enough to go around for everyone else in their life too. We know that you will enjoy their story and their wedding highlights film as much as we did making it.

Why do you want a film of your wedding at the Brackenborough Hotel in Louth?

We wanted to have an everlasting memory of the day as a video so that the highlights of the day can be remembered and reflected upon. I’ve also heard from other brides and grooms that their biggest regret is not having a wedding video.

Why did you choose us to produce your Brackenborough Hotel Wedding Video?

We love your cinematic style and the natural flow to your videos, my favorite being the way the highlights videos are made and tell a story about who the couple are as well as capturing their wedding day.

Tell us about you as a couple

We both work lots of hours and shifts which can often clash with each other schedules therefore our time spent off together is always important and precious, spent enjoying each other’s company. Sometimes we love to just chill watch films together and laze on the sofa and other days we like to go to different cities, exploring and eating and drinking! When we have more time off together we always look forward to holidays each year just the two of us or with our friends or family.

Tell us about the proposal

Sam set up a treasure hunt around our home with each clue written on the back on a memorable photo from our relationship, along with reasons why he loves me. This eventually led to him on one knee, in our bedroom surrounded by candles and flowers.

Why did you choose a Brackenborough Hotel Wedding?

We picked the venue because it was modern with a nice rural location and the new Tennyson suite is separate at the back from the main building. We liked the fact us and our guests could celebrate day and night all in one location and that the venue only hosts one wedding at a time.

What experience do you want to give your guests at the Brackenborough Hotel?

We want to give our guests a memorable laid back fun filled day that they can look back fondly over.

Wedding Video at Healing Manor, Grimsby

Beth & Jamie had their wedding at the historic Healing Manor Hotel in Grimsby, Lincolnshire. Beth and her bridesmaids stayed in the boathouse suite where they got ready in the morning and Jamie arrived in style to the venue in his friends hummer. They had a touching ceremony in Healing Manor’s barn where Beth had her friend, Chloey Rose sing for her bridal procession. Beth and Jamie were fantastic hosts for their guests, owing no doubt in part to Jamie’s popularity as a local gin taster host. Their wedding had such attention to detail with decorations and favours which were gin themed. There were many laughs and touching moments throughout the speeches with no canned jokes or google scripted wedding speeches. This made editing their wedding video a dream. Here’s the short wedding highlights video from their day, separate to their full wedding video package.
