Here comes the sun

Hellolovely readers, and welcome to another issue of Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding!

EDITORIAL Editor Olivia Gibson | 01376 535 611 olivia.gibson@county.wedding

I hope you’ve all been keeping well and have been enjoying spring. There’s something so refreshing about this time of year; it’s all about fresh starts and new beginnings. I’m looking forward to the warm weather and longer days as we slowly creep towards summer. There’s nothing I love more than venturing outdoors; I’m talking picnic dates, barbecues with loved ones, forest walks with the dogs and beach days with friends.

Summer is a wonderful time to tie the knot, not just because of the glorious sunshine – although that’s a huge perk! Thanks to the longer days, you’ll be able to have a later ceremony with plenty of time for your photographer to capture memorable pictures outdoors, especially those golden-hour shots! Imagine roasting marshmallows with loved ones around fire pits, enjoying outdoor games on the lawns or eating from a food truck. Thanks to the more consistent weather, the opportunities are endless.

Calling All Movie Lovers

Based in Hampshire, Daniel Pitts Media is a wedding photographer and videographer now offering a personalised film poster for the ultimate wedding keepsake.

Daniel often creates posters and flyers using his background in design, which is where the brilliant idea came from. By incorporating an image from a wedding, he can include personal elements and each couple’s love story to create a special piece to treasure for years to come.

The film’s title, reviews, cast and tagline are all replaced by details such as song lyrics, suppliers, wishes from guests, names of loved ones or pets and other unique information that means something special. It’s a great way to display a wedding photo while including many personal details and an element of fun.

The company can provide this service for all couples, provided they can supply Daniel with a high-resolution image.

Meet The Supplier

Here at YHDW HQ, we’ve caught up with videographer Finlay Williams to discover more about the company and what he can offer for weddings.

What do you offer nearlyweds?

I’m a young, up-and-coming wedding videographer in the South West. I’m currently studying for a film and photography degree at the Art University Bournemouth, where I’m developing my filmmaking skills.

What do you offer nearlyweds?

I offer full-day coverage for £895, which consists of seven to eight videos with a total viewing time of 90 to 120 minutes. Couples will also receive a four-to-six-minute video of all the compact memories to relive the day and share with loved ones.

Why did you start the company?

After shooting my first wedding three years ago, I immediately fell in love with the creative process and entered what I believe is one of the most rewarding careers. I’m conscious of being discreet throughout your day, using minimal equipment to blend into the background.
