The morning began at Woodlands, with Sophie getting dressed in the bridal suite. Her dress hung against the tall windows before the veil went on, and the teaser catches the moment her dad saw her ready: a hand to his face, followed by a hug. It is one of the most personal moments in the film.
The couple’s planner set out a palette of dusky pink, gold and cream, with champagne dresses for the bridesmaids and tuxedos for the groomsmen. In the ceremony footage, Al’s black bow tie and white buttonhole sit alongside Sophie’s veil and the pale pink and cream flowers.
They exchanged their vows in front of the large arched window, framed by flowers on white plinths. Then came the confetti, thrown as they walked back down the aisle together with their guests on both sides. Keeping preparations and the ceremony at Woodlands meant there was no journey between the two.
Afterwards, the film moves into the grounds for a little time together. The stone garden steps, gravel paths and trees give a different feel to the indoor ceremony, with Sophie’s long veil and train trailing behind her. The teaser finishes this part of the story with close, quiet portraits of the two of them.
