A Return To Bassmead Manor Barns
I arrived at Megan and Ryan’s Bassmead Manor Barns wedding on Sunday morning, the day after I had flown back to the UK from a lovely family trip to Crete. The sun was shining and I felt like I could have been back in the Aegean Sea. I found Megan in the prep room and I could already see there was some nerves there. In all my years as a Cambridgeshire wedding videographer I have seen many nervous brides in the morning and it is perfectly normal.
The wedding ceremony was planned to take place in the barn which was already looking lovely with the flowers in place. It had been three years since I was last at this wedding venue in Cambridgeshire so I made sure I took a little walk around the grounds. My last wedding had been a February wedding so the grounds looked very different.
By the time the ceremony came around, Megan had calmed down but it wasn’t until after the ceremony when she looked at me and said “Well that wasn’t as bad as I thought…”
Chasing The Light… Literally!
These two were both really keen to get some lovely couples footage. We went out before the meal as usual and we got some nice footage then after the meal it started to rain and we feared we were not going to get any golden light.
Once the rain finished we went back out and captured some lovely moments together. We then headed back thinking that was it…
A short while later though, one small gap in the clouds appeared and well we ran… literally! Megan’s shoes had begun to hurt so Ryan scooped her up and carried her while running towards the light! Now that’s commitment!
It was totally worth it though! We got some gorgeous moments in the 6-7 minutes that the light came through the gap in the clouds.
“I Promise You These Guys Will Dance”
These were the immortal words of Ryan’s mum and well, she wasn’t wrong! One of the dance floors of the year without doubt! I’ve seen some footage from the DJ after I left and wow they did not stop!
What a gorge day this was and thank you to Megan and Ryan for being so up for capturing those magic moments!
