Stunning Country House Wedding - Reed Hall, Devon

Reed Hall, Exeter is a stunning grade 2 listed mansion in the grounds of Exeter University used for weddings and corporate events. Venetia and Jonny had an elegant winter wedding and I was delighted to be the wedding videographer.

Venetia & Jonny contacted me just over a week before their wedding and as you can see from their highlights vid below, I'm so glad that they did and that I was available.

About Reed Hall Wedding Venue, Exeter

It was a beautiful wedding at a venue on my doorstep that until then, I didn't even know existed. Reed Hall, Exeter is a stunning grade 2 listed mansion in the grounds of Exeter University used for weddings and corporate events. I love having the opportunity to visit all of the beautiful wedding venues Devon and the South West has to offer and Reed Hall is one of those. 300 acres of gardens with heritage trees and moss covered stone steps which felt a world away from the city centre which is actually only a stones throw away.

It was an elegant winter wedding which I was delighted to be a part of. In fact, I loved the images so much that the eagle eyed of you will notice that they are currently the backdrop for the home page on my website.

*PLEASE NOTE* The images below are stills from Venetia & Jonny's film therefore will never be as crisp as photography images.

They were an absolute dream to work for and their first dance was epic. Venetia, an accomplished ballet dancer, just couldn't resist a few spins and lifts and Jonny was only too happy to oblige. But see for yourselves, their highlight video is at the bottom of the stills below.

Deer Park, Honiton, Devon

Kerry & Ben’s winter wedding was at the stunning Deer Park, Devon. As you can see from the highlight vid and the stills below, the gardens are well maintained in winter and the inside is nice and cosy.  It's a proper English country grand house, just perfect for weddings.

 

Kerry & Ben’s winter wedding

Kerry and Ben were one of those couples that found me via google. We didn't know each other.  No one had recommended me to them.  So when I had a notification of contact from Kerry via my website I was pleasantly surprised.

They were from up North and holidayed in Shaldon, Devon (just across the river from where I live) so before booking me, we decided to meet and chat all things wedding over tea and cake in the Clipper Cafe

They had seen some of my videos and liked my natural style of filming.  Neither of them feel particularity comfortable in front of the camera so they wanted me to disappear into the background to enable them to relax and not feel at all awkward.

Their winter wedding was at the stunning Deer Park, Devon. As you can see from the highlight vid and the stills below, the gardens are well maintained in winter and the inside is nice and cosy.  It's a proper English country grand house, just perfect for weddings.

We had a touch of rain, but it did not dampen the spirits.  Kerry and Ben carried on regardless with the help of her bridesmaids carrying the umbrellas!

Humber Barn, Devon - Wedding Extravaganza

Humber Barn was a lambing shed and is now a completely refurbished stunning wedding venue located in South Devon. I was invited to showcase my wedding videos at their wedding extravaganza!

About Humber Barn

Humber Barn is located in Bishopsteignton in South Devon, just a 30 minute drive from Exeter. This beautiful Devon wedding venue is close to the stunning south Devon coastline and popular beach locations like Shaldon and Dawlish, and just a short drive to the edge of Dartmoor National Park.

Humber Barn was originally a lambing shed but it’s been beautifully restored with weddings in mind. They can cater for as few as 2 guests, for more intimate weddings, or up to 250, for those who want all their friends and family to attend their special day. As it’s a working farm they use as much of their own produce as possible to create a wedding feast fit for a King and Queen. If additional produce is needed they focus on local suppliers to support the local community.

If you’re a country girl or boy at heart a barn wedding is something very special and Humber Barn is well worth considering.

Read about a Devon Farm Wedding at Humber Barn that I was privileged to be the wedding videographer at.

Recently, I was fortunate enough to be asked to have a stall at Humber Barn's first wedding showcase to play some of my wedding videos.

I, and other handpicked local wedding suppliers, were set up inside the newly refurbished barn. We were showing off our stuff and chatting to couples as they arrived, while the kids rushed outside to play in the vintage fairground installed by The Prop Factory and burn off energy on the inflatables supplied by Mane Events.

After a couple of hours, (and cake from MaD Cakes) I set some of my wedding highlights to play on a loop and took my camera outside to film some of the fun.  Here's a little vid of how it went....
