Court Garden Vineyard Brighton Wedding Film // Katy + Pete

Katy and Pete got married at Brighton Town Hall and had their wedding reception at Court Garden Vineyard in Sussex. Todd and I were hired to do video only, which was so much fun - which I hope you can tell from the video! Here's Katy and Pete's story: "Pete and I met in Bordeaux when we were both working and living there in 2008 (between years at university) and after a lovely slow-burn start we've been together for 11 years now. We've done long distance by plane and train and moved in together in Brighton (my home town) together finally about 5 years ago. "Pete asked me to marry him when he whisked me off back to Bordeaux for our ten year anniversary. As it was my birthday weekend I suspected nothing! He got down on one knee in the Miroir d'Eau fountain and then took me to the Fête du Vin to celebrate - also where we'd spent many happy afternoons when we first met. "Our wedding's very personal - pretty much everything is home-made or organised by us and as a massive nerd and event planning aficionado I have loved every moment. Pete's making the cake himself, Mum's making my dress from scratch and my sister Bridget Meyne created our invitations - https://www.bridget-m.com/ "Advice for future couples planning their own wedding - get a spreadsheet on the go!

“Anna it’s AMAZING! How did you get everything?! Every little look, stupid moment, laugh, horrible dance move – you’ve got everything and it’s so beautiful. You and Todd are LEGENDS. We absolutely love it. The video is glorious and I can’t wait to show everyone!”
