Holding Each Other Through All Life’s Seasons – Laura & Hassan's Day at Rise Hall

A Love Story Across Cultures and Seas

In the stately grandeur of Rise Hall, Laura and Hassan shared a wedding day filled with heartfelt moments, genuine connection, and romance that will be cherished for a lifetime. Laura, a talented dance instructor from the UK, found her love in Hassan while living in Bahrain. Their journey, spanning continents and cultures, brought them to this beautiful English estate for a celebration as timeless as their love.

From the Heartfelt Vows to a Celebratory Dance

Laura and Hassan’s wedding was a perfect reflection of their story. They began their union with deeply personal vows, expressing a commitment to support, encourage, and build a life together. Laura’s vows promised to create a home of happiness and devotion, while Hassan’s heartfelt words of love and protection brought tears and joy to everyone in attendance.

And then came their first dance. With Laura’s background as a dance instructor, this wasn’t just any first dance; it was a beautifully choreographed moment that expressed their playful, romantic bond. Capturing their synchronized movements against the classic elegance of Rise Hall created one of the day’s most unforgettable scenes.

Family Bonds and Loving Tributes

The wedding day was made even more special by the words of family members. Laura’s father, Mike, shared memories and emotions, speaking of the pride he feels for his daughter and the joy he has in welcoming Hassan into the family. His speech reminded everyone of the importance of family bonds, even across distances, and the unspoken pride that comes from knowing Laura has found love with a kind, grounded partner.

The heartfelt toasts didn’t stop there. From Hassan’s brother, Zaid, to Laura’s lifelong friend Sophie, each speech painted a picture of the love and respect that surround this couple. As we captured these touching moments, it was clear how cherished Laura and Hassan are by those closest to them.

A Wedding Venue Chosen Across the Miles

Planning a wedding from halfway across the world isn’t easy, but Laura and Hassan handled it with style and trust. Living in Bahrain, they couldn’t visit venues in the UK themselves, so they relied on Laura’s parents to scout out their dream location. Through video calls, photos, and plenty of family teamwork, Rise Hall stood out as the perfect choice. Even from a distance, they could see it was exactly what they’d imagined. And when Laura and Hassan finally saw Rise Hall in person, it was everything they’d hoped for—a stunning, historic backdrop where their families could come together and celebrate.

The Classic Charm of Rise Hall

Rise Hall was the ideal setting, its classic English charm lending an air of timeless elegance to each moment. The historic architecture, combined with the serene beauty of the estate grounds, made every shot feel cinematic. The bride and groom preparations in the grand suites, the ceremony filled with natural light, and the intimate couple’s shoot in the library all contributed to a film that reflects the couple’s unique and refined style.

A Film for Every Memory

Laura and Hassan wanted a wedding film to capture the depth of their love, and we were honoured to create this memory for them. Their wedding film is a testament to their shared journey, the blending of their lives and families, and the celebration of a love story that will be treasured for years to come.

For couples dreaming of a cinematic, deeply personal wedding film, we’re here to bring your story to life in a way that’s as unforgettable as the day itself.

Sunshine, Saxophones, and Garden Games – Hayley & Jack’s Wedding Video at Scrivelsby Walled Gardens

A Chill Wedding with Big Love Vibes

Let’s talk about Hayley and Jack, a couple who know how to do things their way—and with style. Their summer wedding was all about keeping it relaxed while packing in all the feels. From tying the knot at the beautiful St Benedict’s Church to celebrating at Scrivelsby Walled Gardens (with their little superstar George in tow), every second was soaked in love, laughter, and a touch of whimsy. And let’s not forget the saxophonist who added that extra splash of cool to an already epic day!

The Bells Are Ringing—And So Are the Tears

Hayley kicked things off with her bridal prep at the snug and lovely Lion Lodge, surrounded by her sister and bridesmaids, all buzzing with excitement. Meanwhile, Jack was having his own pre-wedding fun with his best man and little George. The vibe? Calm but with a side of “this is going to be amazing.”

When Hayley made her grand entrance at St Benedict’s Church, the bells chimed in perfect harmony with the gasps from the guests (because yes, she looked that stunning). Walking arm-in-arm with her dad Gary, the day’s emotions hit their peak. And, in a sweet tribute, Hayley wore her late mother’s wedding ring—a beautiful, quiet nod that didn’t leave a dry eye in the house.

Vows with a Side of Wit and Love

Now, onto the vows. Hayley and Jack exchanged words that made us laugh, tear up, and cheer them on. It was personal, sweet, and full of cheeky grins—the kind of vows that remind you why wedding videography is so important. And of course, little George stole the show just by being his adorable self. Jack’s promise to Hayley’s dad, Gary, that he would always cherish her was a real heart-melter. Cue the collective “aww” from the guests (and us behind the camera, too).

Garden Party Goals at Scrivelsby Walled Gardens

After the “I do’s” were said and done, the party shifted to Scrivelsby Walled Gardens, where the day took on a laid-back, ‘secret garden’ vibe. We’re talking lawn games, sunshine, and that magical “we’re in a rom-com” kind of light. Oh, and did we mention the saxophonist? The smooth tunes were the perfect soundtrack to this dream of a day.

As wedding videographers, we live for moments like these. The lawn games brought out the fun side of guests, while the golden hour made Hayley and Jack look like they’d stepped right out of a fairy tale. It was the kind of day where the sun and clouds seemed to be working just for them, creating a relaxed but totally Insta-worthy scene.

Filming Their Love Story—And Nailing It

When it came to capturing Hayley and Jack’s love story, we wanted to show all the little things that made their day unique—those quick glances, bursts of laughter, and the way they just fit together. From Jack’s heartfelt speech (with a side of humour) to the sweet father-daughter moments, every scene was dripping with love and good vibes.

And let’s talk about that saxophone again. Honestly, if you ever need proof that music can set the tone for your wedding video, Hayley and Jack’s day is Exhibit A. The soundtrack to their lives was filled with sax solos, golden sunsets, and laughter echoing through the gardens.

Why a Wedding Video? Because You Don’t Want to Miss a Thing

For Hayley and Jack, capturing their wedding on film was a no-brainer. They wanted a way to bottle up all the love, laughter, and pure joy that made their day one for the books—and that’s exactly what we aimed to deliver. From Jack’s tear-inducing (and laugh-sprinkled) speech to George’s cheeky grin, their video captures the moments they’ll want to revisit time and time again.

Scrivelsby Walled Gardens—A Videographer’s Dream

The hidden-gem vibes of the gardens, combined with the relaxed atmosphere of lawn games and the smooth sax soundtrack, made it all come together like the perfect wedding cocktail. We loved capturing the candid moments, the golden hour magic, and the little details that made the day truly theirs.

Sara and Sverrir invited us to capture their wedding day, trusting in our knack for turning fleeting moments into forever memories, just as we did for Sara’s cousin and bridesmaid, Chelsea, back at Hall Farm Hotel in 2021. Reuniting with photographers Holly Bryan and Luke Flisher felt like assembling the dream team all over again, each of us tuned into the day’s genuine beats, ready to document every laugh, tear, and dance move with care.

On a day that was more about heartfelt connections than grand gestures, Sara and Sverrir tied the knot.

Glen Rughead struck a chord with everyone, not just because of his skillful blend of acoustic and electric sounds but because his music felt like a soundtrack to Sara and Sverrir’s story—familiar, full of warmth, and just right for the moment.

Laughter That Echoed

The speeches were everything you’d hope for—heartfelt, honest, and with just the right amount of roasting. Lee, Sara’s dad, shared stories that tugged at the heartstrings, while Ross, the best man, had everyone in stitches, proving that humor and love go hand in hand.

When Ellie Sax took the stage, it wasn’t just a performance; it was an invitation for everyone to let loose, celebrate, and dance the night away. It was the kind of party that felt like a gathering of friends, full of energy and unforgettable moments.

A Celebration Grounded in Love

Sara and Sverrir’s wedding was a testament to the beauty of simple, genuine celebration. From the carefully chosen music to the bursts of laughter and dancing, it was clear that this was a day rooted in the authentic joy of two people coming together.
