Circle Take

Five films, and what each day was.

Every film here is shown with the booking behind it, because the useful question is not whether a film is beautiful but what it took. Each preview is six seconds and silent; the films themselves are sent privately to each couple, and we show them in full at a studio visit.

Film 01 · 6:10

The garden, all day

A dress hung under the arch at seven, a first look at the same arch before lunch, and a guitar at the ceremony nobody was told about. This is the film the home page is cut from.

A bride holding sunflowers walks out on her father's arm at dusk.

Sunflowers at dusk

An evening ceremony timed to the last twenty minutes of light. We moved the second camera behind the arch an hour early so the walk out could be filmed facing the sun.

Forehead to forehead

Two ceremonies on one weekend, so three of us filmed and an editor cut the morning on a laptop at the back of the hall. Four hundred guests watched it at dinner the same night.

That night, then week 8
A couple bursts out of the chapel doors, arms up, guests cheering.

Film 04 · 5:05

Out the chapel doors

A small chapel with no room for a second camera inside, so one of us filmed the vows and the other waited outside for the doors. That exit is the shot the couple asked for first.

The temple gate

A destination wedding, a short flight from Changi. One of us travelled with two cameras in a carry-on and filmed a morning ceremony and nothing else, which is all the couple wanted.
