SWANCAR FARM COUNTRY HOUSE, WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHER
REBEKAH AND JACK
Rebekah and Jack’s wedding at Swancar Farm Country House had everything I usually love about filming there. Relaxed atmosphere, good people, and surprisingly unreal weather for October. As a Nottingham wedding videographer, I spend a lot of time filming weddings across Nottinghamshire and the East Midlands, and Swancar Farm Country House is always one I’m happy to come back to.
I shoot at Swancar Farm Country House quite a lot, along with other venues around Nottinghamshire and the East Midlands like Hazel Gap Barn, Stubton Hall, Grangefields and Norwood Park. It’s always nice arriving somewhere familiar and already knowing the best light, the good spots, and where people naturally end up during the day. Swancar especially always has a really relaxed atmosphere to it.
The day itself was class from start to finish. Rebekah’s dress looked incredible, the weather fully turned up for them, and everyone was up for a good time from the minute I arrived. One of my favourite parts of the day actually came from the bridesmaids filming loads of little camcorder clips throughout the wedding. They sent me the footage afterwards and I added vintage clips from the tape footage into their wedding film, which worked so well mixed alongside the my footage in 4k.
The funniest clip by far was from the night beefore the wedding where they buried a sausage somewhere in the Swancar Farm Country House grounds. Apparently it’s meant to guarantee good weather on your wedding day. Ridiculous tradition, but honestly… it worked. I heard recently someone upgraded it to a Greggs sausage roll at another wedding and somehow that worked too, so maybe there’s actually something in it.
Massive thanks to Rebekah and Jack for having me there to film it all. Days like this are exactly why I love being a wedding videographer in Nottinghamshire.
