Seeds of doubt set by well meaning friends telling you how much they love theirs or how much they went on to regret not having one. Or the thought of having one makes you cringe a little but it’s that ‘what if’ worry that keeps bringing you back… I’m talking last minute ‘wedding video’ worries. Wouldn’t it be nice to have something to show off the day to people who couldn’t be there? Not only the guests who couldn’t make…
I know when we got married we were really torn over whether to have a wedding band and DJ or just a DJ. We LOVE music. We LOVE live music. But after planning everything else when it came to picking a band we soon realised we should’ve debated it sooner! We couldn’t find a band free that we LOVED just as much (serves us right for leaving it so late for an August Bank Holiday weekend wedding!) so we missed…
With stunning vintage and rustic inspired styling and real attention to detail, this really was a Pinterest worthy wedding. From the moment I arrived at Kim’s cute cottage in Tarbock Green I knew this was going to be a super stylish and fun wedding to film. And, of course, being at home surrounded by her best girls would make the perfect relaxed start to her wedding day! With a church ceremony in Woolton (Liverpool) and a wedding reception over at…
How did this happen??? 8 AMAZING YEARS of being a wedding videographer! Today a little reminder popped up on my phone. 8 years today I filmed my first ever wedding (after editing my own) over in Altrincham near Manchester. 8 years ago a wonderful couple put their trust in me. A complete stranger offering them a free wedding video on an online forum. They told me after they worried it was too good to be true but they were SO…
It’s that time of year again (my 2 year olds favourite phrase at the moment thanks to Olaf’s Frozen Adventure, though she’s still talking about Christmas…for me, it’s all about wweddings). January is here and it’s all about wedding planning season! Whether you’ve been engaged for 6 days, 6 months or 7 years attending a few wedding shows can be great for inspiration. I used to attend them a lot as a Bride and even as a wedding supplier pre-Mummy…
The first dance – How to impress and make it memorable for both you and your wedding guests! A romantic sway is great if you’re not keen on showing off your best moves. Even then you can practice a few spins, the crowd pleasing ‘dip’ and the big kiss finale to make it more fun and memorable if you’re feeling a tad nervous. Sarah and Jonathan got the kiss just right at their wedding at The Racquet Club in Liverpool.…
Ooh, so you’re planning for a romantic winter wedding…? As the leaves begin to change colour and fall leaving a rich carpet of warm red on the ground, the days get a little shorter and there’s a chill in the air it really is a beautiful time of year to plan the perfect winter wedding. The venues in the north west are renown for having incredible colours in their gardens. Maybe all this additional rain we get up north mean…
Lee and I were married at the Hillbark Hotel in the Wirral. On a not so sunny August bank holiday (it rained so heavy in the afternoon, it was well timed thankfully as we sat down to eat!!) surrounded by all 44 of our wonderful wedding guests. We had our wedding photographer and video handy friends there to capture it all and despite our wedding highlights video being a tad cheesy, because lets not forget it was the first ever…
There are a lot of wedding tips and words of advice from magazines, bloggers and even friends and family to ensure you have the perfect wedding day. Things from how to know your dress is ‘The One’ to helping you pick your first dance song. These top 5 wedding tips are the ones that prove the most useful time and time again for my Bride and Groom’s. Every pre-wedding meeting we have, every email as we get closer to the…
“You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how.” If you don’t know already, it’s what Rhett Butler says to Scarlett O’Hara in Gone With the Wind (one of my favourite films thanks to my Nana). I even have it framed in my kitchen and a card in my office! Well I just had to do a little something to celebrate National Kissing Day didn’t I? With being a wedding videographer and filming so many beautiful weddings…
This week a little reminder popped up on my phone. Love Gets Sweeter Wedding Films Anniversary, 7 years. Firstly, oops…I’ve obviously been a little preoccupied with all my new website re-branding and getting ready for the launch that I’d not even registered that such a big date was coming up. Secondly, how great are online calendars? Thank you Google! So yes, Love Gets Sweeter celebrates 7 wonderful years of business in the wedding industry. 7 years of film making, filming…
Sarah and Jonathan chose me to be their wedding videographer for their Liverpool wedding celebrations in West Derby and the Racquet Club after seeing their good friends Siobhan and Gary’s wedding video (Sarah was one of Siobhan’s bridesmaids, you can probably spot her in their wedding highlights film here). Possibly the nicest and sweetest couple I have ever had the pleasure of filming, such a lovely romantic day to be a part of! Click below to read more about their…
Yesterday was our wedding anniversary. Bronze I believe, though we didn’t have a clue what to buy so took a day off instead to celebrate! Back in 2009 I was waking up in our room at The Hillbark Hotel in the Wirral married (and realising I’d left my bra at the hotel I got ready in so had to wear the signed Liverpool shirt I gave my husband the day before and hold my arms in strategic places so no-one…
I actually know this Liverpool loving Bride and Groom through a mutual friend and a past love of Insanity workouts in Burscough. I fell pregnant half way through and it was only when I heard from Angharad enquiring about having a wedding video of her amazing wedding at The Venue at The Royal Liver Building did we get to catch up again. Fast forward a good while later (I do love an organised Bride) the big day was finally upon…
It seriously can’t get more glamorous than this stylish Liverpool wedding. Not only was the bride a stunner with an air of Grace Kelly about her but the groom didn’t scrub up too bad either (how nice is that vibrant peacock lining in his blue suit?). Their city centre historic venue, The Racquet Club, even set the tone for the celebrations and gave the day another air of sophistication. Prepare to swoon… “Soooooo beautiful !!!! We cant stop watching it…
Wow. Just wow. Katy and Tony’s wedding day over in the Wirral and Merseyside was one of my favourites to be a part of. I honestly felt so honoured to be there capturing the day as it unfolded and was made to feel like a dear friend by all of the lovely wedding party. [reveal heading=”%image% Click here to read more and see their wedding highlights film”] I had met Katy and her lovely Bridesmaid at The Wedding Fair’s North…
I honestly mean it when I say every wedding of mine holds a special place in my heart but this one…this really was on another level and so ridiculously special I knew I wouldn’t be in any fit state to actually film it myself. Plus, I don’t think having a camera strapped to me as I walk down the aisle is the best idea! This bride is my very beautiful Sister in law, Keri. She married the man of her…
I honestly don’t know where to start with this amazing couple. Not only did they pick possibly one of the coolest wedding venues in Liverpool (the Hard Days Night Hotel), have amazing live music planned throughout their wedding (and why not, Liverpool is the Capital of Music) but they are just an awesome couple and I reckon after reading this and watching their film you’ll soon agree. I met Lydia what must be going on two years ago at a…
The Richmond in Liverpool is now officially one of my favourite venues after I had the pleasure of filming Gail and Fran’s wedding there last year. Not only is the venue beautiful, with it’s art deco inspired interiors, but the staff were amazing! But before we even got to their wedding reception at The Richmond we had the important job of seeing Gail and Fran tie the knot at the magnificent St George’s Hall in Liverpool’s City Centre… [reveal heading=”%image%…
Thornton Manor in Thornton Hough (Wirral) has proven to be a very popular North West wedding venue over the years for me and it’s so easy to see why! Annabelle and James were planning their wedding in the Wirral from London and would try and squeeze in all their planning meetings during their wedding visits up north. All the effort paid off as it really was a beautiful wedding and the little touches really did make the difference… [reveal heading=”%image%…
