After finishing a wedding in London my lovely wife drove me all the way up to Wedderburn Castle in Duns, Scotland (whilst I had a sleep) for Anna & Nadir’s wedding. I was looking forward to this one as they were starting the day with chinese wedding games which I love filming. Chinese games are used as a way to ease the tension and anxiety before the wedding ceremony. The games include tasks from the bridesmaids which the groom has to complete in order to prove his love and be allowed to collect his bride. Anyway, Nadir arrived looking rather nervous and looked a little more nervous after the bridesmaids had dressed him in an apron, bra and washing up gloves. After completing his tasks Nadir and Anna headed over to Wedderburn Castle for their civil ceremony which took place outside. Anyway, please check out their Wedderburn Castle Wedding Video below.

Chinese Wedding Video Highlights

Loved this day!! Chinese weddings are always so lively and fun and one of my favourite asian wedding videos I film. We headed north for the day and arrived at Blackpool’s Hilton Hotel at 7:00am ready to film Phil and Ling’s day. We started with Ling and her bridesmaids as they got ready and waited for the boys to arrive. Chinese weddings are great to film as the girls prepare games and challenges (known as “door games”) for the groom to prove before he is allowed access to his bride. It’s a great way of easing tensions and helping everyone to relax into the day. Chinese wedding games often include the groom reciting poems, answering questions about his new bride, singing love songs very loudly, eating spicy foods and paying money to the bridesmaids. Once the groom and groomsmen have completed their tasks then he can enter the room and collect his bride.

The rest of the day took place in Manchester and included tea ceremonies, lion dancing, fire crackers and a 12 course wedding banquet at the Glamorous Chinese Restaurant in Manchester. Overall a fantastic day and here are the highlights of Ling and Phil’s Chinese Wedding Video.
