“I can finally share this amazing & totally rocking film”

The film was shot way back in July 2020, but after a few months wait for it to be published, we can finally get excited and share the amazing Children of the Revolution Shoot.

Check out the Blog feature on Magpie Weddings

The Children of the Revolution Wedding inspired styled shoot was the concept of Caroline Opacic Photography, who’s love of Marc Bolan (frontman of the glam-rock band of the 70’s,T-Rex) was put into action with the help of Zuza McKen from The Hullabaloo Collective.

When I got the brief for this shoot and saw the suppliers involved and where it was going to be shot, I knew it was going to be big and epic, so I had to bring my A-game.

The 70s rock theme was perfect for me to express my cool and alternative style of filming, no stiffness, no rules to how your wedding film should look, just raw, pure emotional, fun filming.

So with a gorgeous sequin dress, white trouser suit and sexy hotpants for the Bride from Bowen Dryden and the groom in stunning suits from Anthony’s London, Bridal Headdresses from the super talented Bombini Studio, and accessories from To be Adorned, all being shown off at Marden Park Mansion,Woldingham school we had the basis for an epic shoot.

We went for three different scenes starting off in the Ceremony/Chill out room. The room was styled with furniture and props from Boho & Bloom props hire. The giant disco balls, candle holders, vintage rugs and lush velvet sofa (that I would have nicked for my house), was decorated with beautiful flower arrangements from Iris & Co Flowers, and to finish off the look we had a neon sign from Bay Wedding Props.

The second scene was an outdoor reception with a sweetheart table with Zuza’s famous Peacock wicker chairs on the lawn and set out with a vintage fringed piano shawl, Knots and Kisses showing off their creative Stationery and a striking pink three tier cake by Meera’s Cakes waiting to be slayed by a vintage sword. We also had a grazing table, or should I say a grazing tree stump from Mother Nature Grazing Company with all the 70’s classics of Scotch eggs to cheese & pineapple, but done in an elegant way, no tin foil hedgehogs in sight.

The third and final scene was all about cheeky hotpants and a vintage red sports car. Again with Bombini Studio’s headdress, the couple was dressed ready to leave the party in a Red MG convertible sports car, which was also dressed for the occasion with a flower arrangement from Iris & Co Flowers. Talk about leaving in style and that is where I end the post as well.

Hope you enjoyed the short film, and thanks for watching.
