This is an eighteen and a half minute feature for Lauren and Shane. See their trailer here. All music was picked by Lauren but she had seen a lot of my previous movies and had a good idea of what I like to use.
It is always a joy when the Bride and Groom have a good understanding of what they want form their movie and what music works well.
Enjoy
This is a trailer in the true sense of the word in that it is meant to build antisipation for the main feature. This is a direction I want to take more and more.
I know I say this a lot but Calcot Manor, near Tetbury, is a really great wedding venue, if you are planning your wedding take a look!
Lauren and Shane really were model clients, with the enthusiasm and planning they put into their morning presents. It is always nice to capture the opening of these presents and every effort was made to help me be in the right place at the right time. I just thought the Tiffany’s diamond necklace was such a lovely gift which caused quite an emotional moment just minutes before the ceremony. Perfect opportunity for a visual transition

AAAAAARRRGGH!!!!! JEFF!!! It is BEYOND AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! I’ve just gone through half a kleenex box whilst we watched the feature about 4 times back to back. Jeff, we are completely blown away. The shots you’ve taken are breathtaking; we had no idea you and Matt had even taken many of them! The way you’ve edited the different moments with the music adds to the emotion if it all. Words can’t fully describe how utterly thrilled we are. Jeff, we’ve agreed you are the best investment we made in the whole of our wedding planning. What an amazing keepsake. Cannot wait to show it off to everyone. YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!!

these vids were amazing, was a great day!
{SDE} means same day edit and this short trailer was edited (just in time) and screened at the reception of Amy and Paul’s wedding. Right form my initial meeting with Amy and Paul I knew this wedding was going to be fun. ”I’ll get a bottle of beer ready” was the reply when I let Amy know that I was on my way for the first home visit. A solitary bottle of beer doesn’t sound much but after 2 hours on the M6 it is heaven and this made me feel very welcome.
Amy told me that she was a bit of a cryer and that she would try her best not to cry during her vows… Well, she tried, but failed, during preparations, vows, speeches and viewing of the SDE movie.

Jeff,
What can we say? We’ve not even managed to get back from our minimoon and we are watching this compulsively. You’ve captured our day in a way we didn’t think possible. We are absolutely thrilled that we’ve been “Jeff Wood visual’d”. Everybody should be! Thank you again….Amy & Paul xxx
