St Andrew's Cathedral.

Filming at St Andrew's Cathedral

The morning

It was raining when Benjamin came to fetch Yu Jie. There was no gatecrash; he simply came up the stairs with her bouquet, after her parents had put on her veil.

The service

The wedding was an Anglican service in the morning, with live music at the front and her father walking her down the aisle. They read their vows on the mic, and partway through the service the two of them gave a short speech to everyone from their phones, which had both families laughing.

Sound

The cathedral let me connect to its sound system, so the vows and their speech in the film are recorded straight from the mixer, with my own small recorders on the handheld mic as a backup.

How many hours to book

Benjamin & Yu Jie booked 5 hours, from getting ready at home to the photos after the service.
