NEW! Chloe & Chris's Magical Destination Wedding Highlight Reel at Lartington Hall

Get ready for a cross-cultural love story that'll absolutely steal your heart! 🌍💕

When Malaysian beauty Chloe met her charming North East lad Chris, neither of them knew their love would lead to one of the most heartwarming celebration we've had the privilege to film!

Picture this: the breathtaking grounds of Apartment Group Lartington Hall, Barnard Castle, one of the North East's most stunning wedding venues transformed into a romantic paradise for Chloe & Chris's unforgettable day. But here's what made this wedding truly special...

A Love That Crossed Continents
Chloe's incredible mum travelled all the way from Malaysia to walk her daughter down the aisle the only family member able to make the journey. Talk about unconditional love! But Chloe wasn't alone; her closest friends from her time as a student here in the North East surrounded her with love and laughter all day long.

Laughter, Speeches & Golden Moments
Ben, Chris's nephew, absolutely stole the show with a speech that had everyone in stitches! And Chris? Being the natural comedian he is, had everyone grinning from ear to ear all day long. These are the moments we LIVE for! 😂

The Setting? Pure Magic
Stunning floral arrangements, manicured gardens, and the timeless beauty of Lartington Hall created the perfect backdrop for this modern love story.

This is what destination weddings in the North East are all about, genuine connections, cultural beauty, and pure joy!

Perfect for couples looking for:
✓ Destination wedding venues in County Durham
✓ Barnard Castle wedding videography
✓ North East wedding videographers
✓ Lartington Hall wedding films
✓ Multicultural wedding celebrations

has this beautiful intimate chapel for destination weddings. The lighting, colour and space makes for such a great wedding video. It even has a balcony where string quarters can play as you walk down the aisle. Very impressed. Wait unt you see the highlight reel!

Got back from a wedding video shoot for a lovely couples wedding day- Chloe & Chris, and first thing to do is backup all the footage and find space for it. Always anxious to see how big the project folder will be from all devices.

Another Personalised Wedding Song created and published for Chloe & Chris, titled 'You are my space'.

'From a chance trip to Borneo, from a six-hour phone call and a bold declaration to his dad. This song tells the story of two people who were always meant to find each other, even when neither of them was really looking.'
