2011 Institute of Videography Awards – 1st place Best Wedding Day Film & Winner of Best Overall Production

I am extremely thrilled to announce being awarded first place for “Best Wedding Day Film” 2011 at the Institute of Videography annual awards dinner, held on the 19th of October at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry. The standard of entries from talented IOV members throughout the UK gets higher every year and to win the top spot in the wedding category is a massive honor and privilege!

As if this wasn’t enough, I was stunned to also win the award for “Best Overall Production”. This was an incredible surprise, considering the exceptionally high standard of entries across the other categories: “Best Corporate Video”, “Best Documentary”, “Best Music Video” and “Best Short Film/ Open”.institute of videography awards

A huge thank you to Sony Professional UK and Vinten for sponsoring the “Best Overall Production” award with the most generous and fantastic prizes: a Sony NEX-FS100 camera and a Vinten Vision Blue tripod. I am extremely humbled and overwhelmed to receive such desirable and valuable pieces of kit. Both will be put to good use and I am extremely grateful.

Thank you so much for all the good wishes and amazing feedback from fellow IOV members both local and throughout the UK, many who have become good friends over the years. Thank you also to the IOV Executive for making this possible and their good wishes. Thank you to Jack Millington for being such a keen assistant and second shooter on this film. Final thanks to Sharon for her love and support, putting up with my long hours and being there on the night to share such an incredible and memorable occasion.

Seonaid & Neil, Aviemore – 2011 IOV Best Wedding Awards

iPad and iPhone ready highlights - No extra cost
Ceremony & Reception: Family home, Aviemore
Event Design, Management & Production:  Angela Stewart Creative
Photographer: Rebekah Murray
Cake: Fiona Barnett

It is well known that arranging a wedding requires a great deal of time planning, but when the wedding is being held at the family home, its a whole different ball game! From the moment Seonaid’s parents offered their family home, the family and teams of landscape gardeners and contractors went to work preparing the gardens. We were also on site to film the final few days preparation and setup for the big day.

As you will see, the ceremony setting was outside in the garden. It was an incredibly beautiful and peaceful setting, close to nature and overlooking their pond. The images in the film speak for themselves!

I hope you enjoy and are moved by the story of Seonaid and Neil’s day as much as we found it rewarding to witness and document.

Big thanks to Angela and Grant from Angela Stewart Creative for their cooperation and professionalism during the build up to the day and the day itself. Thanks also to my second shooter Jack, for his assistance and long hours.

Congratulations and best wishes to the new Mr and Mrs Johnston!
