Victoria and Andrew were married at the beautiful Saint Bart’s Church in Thurstaston, Wirral, and held their wedding reception at Craxton Wood Hotel in Cheshire.
The wedding was only my 3rd Same Day Edit (although I’ve been filming weddings for 4 and a half years now, I only started doing Same Day Edits late last year). Looking forward, I already have 7 more booked, so they are becoming very popular very quickly!
Basically, the way they work is I begin by filming the bridal preparations (getting ready), then guests arriving and, of course, the wedding ceremony. I carry on filming for an hour or so after the ceremony, and then, begin to edit. Whilst editing, I use a tripod mounted camera to film the speeches. Then, a little later on, before the first dance, I play the wedding highlights video in front of everybody on a huge 90″ HD screen.
You can see more info and pricing here.
Here’s the highlights film that was played on the night (the full ceremony, speeches and 1st Dance are all edited later on and included on the DVD as well):
The video below shows Victoria, Andrew and their guests watching the film on the night (with the highlights film inset):
After the wedding, I also edit together full footage of the Ceremony, Speeches and 1st Dance, which is also included on the 3 Wedding DVD copies provided:
Here’s the Diary Room Video with guest messages:

Hi Stuart,
Thanks so much for Saturday – we really appreciated it and are so grateful. Everybody that we spoke to was amazed at the video in the evening and the way you worked so tirelessly.
We’re so pleased that we picked such a nice guy too and just hope that we were as easy to work with as you were!
Can’t wait to see the finished article and we know that this is something that we will cherish greatly.
All the very best and thanks so very much again for making our day so special.
