Real Wedding: Rachel & Robbi

Описание: Watch the incredible work of the husband and wife duo known as White Balloon Films, who were chosen to film Rachel and Robbi's beautiful wedding in Mykonos.

Every month we will be featuring the best wedding filmmakers from around the world. If you'd like to be featured on Bride De Force then get in touch.

We were lucky enough to ask them a few questions about filming this beautiful wedding...

Tell us about the wedding day…

London-based Rachel and Robbi decided on a destination wedding in Mykonos not only for the obvious benefits of blue skies, sunshine and sea views, but also to tie in with Robbi’s Greek heritage. With friends and family travelling from all over the world to join the celebrations, combined with the perfect weather and easy-going holiday vibe, there was always a sense of calm and fun about Rachel and Robbi’s day. For sure, the planning was thorough meaning that on the day itself, all the suppliers pulled together as a team, leaving the couple to enjoy the build up, the ceremony and of course the reception and party.

What was your process like working with the couple leading up to the big day?

At White Balloon Films we find Skype/Facetime consultations invaluable for communicating with couples prior to their wedding. As an experienced filmmaking team, we find that once the practicalities of filming the day have been established, e.g. timetable, who is doing a speech etc., couples are happy to leave us to create their cinematic wedding film. On one hand we have built our reputation based on the consistency of our high production value films however couples know that each film we create is a unique, handcrafted piece of work.

How involved were the couple in the video?

Although couples trust us to ‘do our thing’, the more information we have fro the couple in advance of the day, the better. For example, in the case of this wedding, Robbi’s helicopter arrival was secret that we were told about in advance, as was the actual location for the ceremony! Busses took guests and family from the couple’s villa to a secret hillside location (Castle Panigirakis) for the ceremony. Of course, as their wedding videographers, we needed to know about this in advance!

What advice would you give someone else wanting to become a wedding filmmaker?

A wedding is an uncontrolled environment so it’s tough to film. Consider working with a partner, try and keep your gear light and remember that a good video is nothing without good audio so figure out your strategy there because capturing good audio is the hardest part of the job!
