The Special Place that is CHESHIRE!

Originally Cheshire’s name was acquired from the early name for Chester and therefore is known as County Palatine of Chester. Cheshire is known for its rural villages and traditional sandstone buildings, this county is neighboured by Manchester and Liverpool and holds an industrial revolution heritage. With the largest town in Cheshire being Warrington (which is the home of Appleyard Productions) some of the other towns include Knutsford, Congleton, Nantwich, Ellesmere Port and Wilmslow, which are also the home to some of our favourite wedding venues mentioned above. Just to throw it in there if your a cheese lover then Cheshire is famously known for the production of yes you guessed it Cheshire Cheese.

Why do we love being a Videographer/Photographer in the Cheshire Area?

Well this is an easy one to answer and the main reason is the beauty, Cheshire is home to the most beautiful picturesque villages surrounded by greenery, meadows, hills and scenic trails for all you adventurous souls out there. There is so much to see and do and from a videographers aspect so much to capture and inspire us to create the most memorable of films. Drone footage over the stunning scenery and dramatic landscapes adds that breath taking moment to any wedding film.

What’s Cinematic?

So you may have heard of Cinematic Wedding Films a few times and not completely understood the meaning, well not too worry we will describe it nice and simple… Cinematic Videography is basically creating a film that looks like a real movie that you would go an watch at a cinema. It is cleverly produced to have similar features as a quality motion picture film, this should include impressive sound and pure quality in the clips, using shallow depth of field and negative space to support our smart filming. This is because a cinematic filmmaker is shooting to tell a story, your story, and that is exactly what Appleyard Productions is there to do.

Our Wedding Videography Style

We aim to be discreet and capture our footage naturally to enable us to receive the most realist of moments, this creates the natural beauty and emotion of your day as it happens, and allows us to develop this into a film that can be treasured forever. With Appleyard Productions you will receive a personal approach through your initial enquiry, booking, meeting/video call, wedding day, editing and delivery of your product. This allows us to acknowledge everything we need to know about you and your wedding day for us to create the perfect film you desire. We also continue our personal touches into the delivery of your film, presentation is everything to us and we make sure when we finalise and post out your USB that there is something special in there for our couples as a Thankyou for choosing Appleyard Productions.
