The Setting: A Perfect Canvas for Cinematic Storytelling
Anran is nestled in lush gardens surrounded by Devon’s rolling countryside. From the moment we arrived, the light filtering through the trees and the open-air ceremony space created the perfect atmosphere for natural, emotive footage. The variety of indoor and outdoor spots meant we could capture diverse scenes — from intimate moments in cozy interiors to sweeping drone shots of the landscape.
Starting Early: Capturing the Preparations
Our day began early, filming the bridal party getting ready in the bright, airy rooms filled with soft, natural light. These moments — makeup touch-ups, laughter with friends, and the quiet nerves before walking down the aisle — set the emotional tone for the film. We also captured the groom and his party preparing nearby, giving a full narrative of the day’s journey.
Ceremony Highlights and Candid Moments
The ceremony was held in Anran’s beautiful garden pavilion. We focused on unobtrusive filming techniques to capture the vows, emotional reactions, and the joyful smiles of guests without disturbing the flow. Our multiple-camera setup ensured every angle was covered — from the bride’s entrance to the couple’s first kiss.
Cinematic Drone Footage
One of the standout features of Anran is its stunning location. With permission secured, we launched our drone to capture breathtaking aerial views — sweeping shots of the venue set against Devon’s countryside backdrop. These sequences add a cinematic flair that helps tell the full story of the day.
Reception and Golden Hour Magic
As the sun dipped lower, the reception kicked off with heartfelt speeches and joyous dancing. We used soft lighting and slow-motion effects to emphasize the warmth and intimacy of these moments. The golden hour light bathed the venue in a dreamy glow — perfect for romantic couple shots and candid guest interactions.
