Day 7 of - "learn" 💫

I have learned so much in the time since I filmed my first wedding (swipe for the first-day-of-school picture I took that day!) and it's such a cliche, but I am constantly learning and developing on the job ✨

BUT those of you who know me will know that the most life-changing thing I have learned in recent months is how to drive! 🚙💫

I was never someone who was that interested in cars growing up, preferring to cycle everywhere (I used to think nothing of cycling 12 miles each way to see friends as a teenager, I can't even imagine now!) so never imagined myself as someone who would love driving.

When I eventually started learning in 2019, I found it a really frustrating journey. Not only was my progress interrupted by the pandemic, meaning I had to redo my theory, but I really struggled to get the hang of it and found the whole thing so stressful 😩

I can remember the lesson where everything clicked for me, as my instructor and I pootled round the streets having a chat. That week I booked my test and the rest is history (I'd claim first time bragging rights, but I don't think it counts after 4 years of learning!) ✨

Now my favourite way to start the day is with the radio on and a big drive to somewhere new. And if that doesn't put me in a good mood, the wedding surely will! 🥳

First pic: after my first hour long drive, two days after my test (!) to the .in.love.uk fair 🌈🎉

Day 2 of - all about you!

Hello, I'm Lucy (she/her), the person behind Waystone Films ✨

Facts about me!
💫 I live in Nottingham with my gorg writer/musician husband Sam
✨ I pursued a documentary filmmaking degree at the same time as planning our wedding, and fell in love with the crazy, colourful and creative wedding industry!
🌙 I love Florence and the Machine (and have a Heaven is Here tattoo!)
🌱 I've been vegan since 2014 and it's my most strongly held value
🌷I'm a glitter stan! I love slow fashion and I live in a pair of bell bottom flares
🌼 I tend to cycle through hobbies! But when I'm not at my editing desk (where I spend most of my time!) I love doing craft, especially textiles. I made loads of felt flowers for our wedding and I love a spot of knitting or crochet 🧶

Capturing the small moments ✨

Your wedding day can be such a whirlwind as you try to share time with all the wonderful loved ones who have come to cheer you on, so much so that you might not get as much time with your significant other as you may think! Use your videographer as an excuse to get a moment to yourselves, to share a few words and an "omg we're married!" moment away from the crowd 💕 and then recieve gorgeous footage of the pair of you being cute as hell - it's a win win!

Celebrating all the seasons on my screen today, as Hollie and Tom's gorgeous winter wedding heads out the door (Happy Valentine's Day H&T!) and I start work editing my shoots from the end of last year - as a golden hour lover I couldn't have asked for more from this beautiful autumn day in November with the gorgeous and 😍

Do you know what time sunset is on your wedding day? Make sure to schedule some photo and video time around this time of the day to capture these beautiful golden hour moments 🍁🌟

Something different rocking my world over on my youtube channel today: the fabulous Another Girl Another Planet hired me to put together this showreel of their best hits!

First Dance ❄️💫

I love putting up some extra lighting to make your dance floor pop on the video, just like this beautiful spotlight does! Along with the venue's purple uplights and fairy lights it makes for the most gorgeous shot of H&T sharing their first dance - they were laughing and smiling the whole way through 🥺💖

Congratulations to gorgeous and Tom who tied the knot last weekend in the beautiful snowy cotswolds 😍 a sparkling blanket of untouched snow and a dazzling winter sun - you really couldn't have asked for a better day for a winter wedding! 🌨️🌟

Loved filming your wedding H&T and can't wait to have the full film ready for you! 💕

Yesterday was an Autumn daydream at Ettington Park Hotel 🍁

Let's talk drone footage: I include aerial video wherever possible in my wedding films! It is not always guaranteed, as weather conditions and flight restrictions can limit the times & places it is safe and/or legal for me to fly, but you can bet when it's a beautiful clear day like yesterday I'll be getting those images from the sky!

Enquire now for 2023/24 😘

I LOVE a colourful wedding! 💫 And what better way to add colour & drama than with smoke bombs? 🌈💕

Delivered the full film package for Zoe & Peter's wedding day last week 💖

They came to me looking for a videographer that would do a next-level editing job for their wedding film, really telling the story of them as a couple and showcasing their day with the wow factor it deserves 🌟 I was so delighted that they thought I was up to the task! 🥰

The end result is a film containing a whole love story, one told through poetry and heartfelt sentiments. We were also able to capture beautiful moments including golden hour & these smoke bomb shots - a videographer's dream! 😍

Loved being part of your day Z&P 💕

Details 💫 It's not just weddings where it's all about the dress!

In October I was invited to film 's 18th Birthday Debut - a Filipino tradition that involved speeches, dances and some incredible singing performances from Ari's talented family and friends. It was really wonderful to witness.

A highlights film from this event is one of the things I am currently working on and I am so enjoying going through the many special moments from the day 😍

It's not just weddings that deserve celebrating and documenting, and I would love to get more wonderful events like this on film!

Also had fun stretching my creativity at this event - this rainbow effect was all captured in camera by shooting through the crystal table decorations 🌈

Whatever you're celebrating, I will be on hand to capture the unique joy & magic of your special day.

Stay tuned this week as I launch my new website and give you a taste of this new era, bringing you some extra special films from recent events.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported and worked with me thus far - I have been blessed with wonderful colleagues and clients and you have given me many hours of joy on filming days and at my editing desk!

CALLING ALL 80's KIDS AND ADVENTURE PARTIES! 👾💘🏏

I usually steer clear of copyrighted music, but I couldn't resist taking advantage of youtube music permissions to share a very special shoot preview! 🎃

Now, am I expecting 100s of requests for VFX wedding films that turn your wedding into the upside down? No. (But how awesome would that be!? Hmu!)

BUT did I spend 5 hours turning a drone shot into a mindflayer-struck Hawkins? Yes. 😂 And if that doesn't prove how much time and effort I put into my films I don't know what else will! ✨

Happy spooky season, lovers 😘💀
