Kamala and James’ winter wedding at Wilderness Reserve was a masterclass in cozy, cinematic romance. Set within the iconic Chapel Barn, the celebration embraced the beauty of the season. As a Suffolk wedding videographer, I love shooting winter weddings for their unique lighting, and this day was no exception—filled with warmth, texture, and deep emotion.
Mastering Winter Wedding Videography One of the biggest questions I get is about lighting in winter. For Kamala and James, the ceremony felt like a sanctuary from the cold, illuminated almost entirely by the golden glow of candles. Using fast cinema lenses, I was able to capture this ambient light without killing the mood with harsh artificial floods. The result is a film that feels true to the atmosphere: intimate, warm, and incredibly cinematic.
Located in the heart of the Suffolk countryside, Chapel Barn offers a spectacular setting for a winter celebration. The venue’s soaring wooden beams and floor-to-ceiling windows create a sense of grandeur, while the crackling log fires ground the space with an intimate energy. The evening transitioned effortlessly into a joyful party, with the candlelit first dance providing one of the most visually stunning moments of the year.
