Stirk House in Lancashire is a venue that really captures the imagination, especially from the perspective of a wedding videographer. Its blend of historic charm and picturesque landscapes makes it a dream to film, offering a rich tapestry of backdrops that enhance any wedding film.
Located in the heart of the Ribble Valley, Stirk House is a 17th-century manor set in 22 acres of beautiful private land. The building itself is a stunning example of traditional architecture, with its original features like stone fireplaces and oak beams. These elements provide a warmth and authenticity to the indoor settings that are ideal for capturing the intimate moments of a wedding day.
The grandeur of the main hall, with its large windows and elegant decor, sets a regal tone for the ceremonies. The natural light that floods in through the windows illuminates the space beautifully, allowing for clear, vibrant footage. The hall’s spacious layout also enables dynamic filming angles, ensuring that no important moment is missed.
Outside, the meticulously maintained gardens and the surrounding woodland are just as impressive. The grounds feature a variety of scenic spots, including a tranquil lake and several quaint bridges, which are perfect for romantic couple shots. Capturing the newlyweds against such serene and lush backdrops not only adds a visually stunning element to the film but also embodies the joy and beauty of the occasion.
Stirk House also boasts modern facilities despite its historic roots, ensuring that the comfort and needs of guests are met with elegance and style. This blend of old and new is something I particularly enjoy capturing, as it reflects the merging of traditions with contemporary celebrations, a common theme in modern weddings.
Overall, Stirk House offers a unique and versatile setting that's perfect for creating a memorable and visually engaging wedding film. Its combination of historical elegance, scenic beauty, and modern amenities makes it a favoured choice for couples and a delightful challenge for any wedding videographer looking to tell a beautiful story.
"We don’t even know where to start! Hiring Chris to shoot our wedding video was the BEST decision we made for our wedding. From the first meeting we had to discuss his style and approach, we knew we were on to the right person. Chris’ attention to detail is parallel to none."
"We weren’t originally going to get a videographer but it was worth every penny. The whole day is so much to process that you forget bits after. Having this video to treasure forever was the perfect way to cure the wedding blues."
"Before meeting Chris, we weren’t sure how to appear on film. After working with him, we felt completely comfortable, and he captured every organic moment we wanted."
I film a limited number of weddings each year so I can give each one proper time in planning, filming and the edit.
My collections are set up for larger, family-centred days and full weekend celebrations, where film is a key part of the budget and the experience.
