Alice & Ivan’s Wedding Film
In the enchanting landscapes of East Sussex, capturing the love story of Alice and Ivan was a true privilege for a Sussex wedding filmmaker. The journey took us from Somerset to Hellingly, where the timeless Sussex Barn set the stage for a day filled with love, heritage, and breathtaking moments.
The Sussex Barn: A Historic Setting: Nestled in the heart of East Sussex, the Sussex Barn proved to be the perfect backdrop for Alice and Ivan's wedding day. This four-hundred-year-old, grade two listed barn, situated on a working farm, offered a picturesque setting with stunning views. Every detail of the day, meticulously planned by the couple and the staff, reflected the care and love poured into making their celebration truly special.
A Tapestry of Heritage: Alice and Ivan's wedding was a beautiful tapestry woven with threads of German and Irish heritage. From the decor to the traditions, every element was thoughtfully infused with cultural significance. The result was a celebration that seamlessly blended the couple's backgrounds, creating a day that was not only visually stunning but deeply meaningful.
A Morning of Joyful Anticipation: The day began with a relaxed morning shared between the couples and their parties. As the excitement built, we embarked on a journey to St Mary the Virgin church—a place of profound significance for Alice and Ivan. This charming church held a special place in their hearts as it was the very same church where Alice's maternal grandparents had exchanged vows some 60 years ago.
Ceremony at St Mary the Virgin Church: The ceremony was a beautiful testament to love and family history. Surrounded by the timeless walls of St Mary the Virgin church, Alice and Ivan exchanged vows, marking the continuation of a legacy that spanned generations. The ceremony was a poignant moment that bridged the past and the present, creating memories that would endure for years to come.
Spectacular Views on the South Downs: Following the heartfelt ceremony, the newlyweds, along with the filmmakers and photographers, ventured to the South Downs. The sweeping views provided a spectacular backdrop, allowing us to capture breathtaking shots of the couple at the pinnacle of the downs. Nature's beauty complemented the radiant love between Alice and Ivan, making it an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
As a Sussex wedding filmmaker, documenting the love story of Alice and Ivan was not just a job—it was a journey into the heart of a couple deeply connected to their heritage and each other. The Sussex Barn, the historic church, and the scenic South Downs became chapters in a story of love, tradition, and the promise of a beautiful future together.
How they met
We met at the University of Bristol and were in the same halls and tutor group in the first year. We lived together in the third year as friends in a house of eight but decided to make our lives difficult by only getting together once Ivan moved to Cardiff and Alice to London - starting five years of getting to know the M4, Great Western Trains, and Mega Bus very well…
The party went on late into the evening with a traditional Irish Ceilidh band and German Bratwurst for the evening snacks, wine, and lots of Guinness!
