Grand Tradition Estate and Gardens wedding film
Hugo & Helen
Hugo and Helen, married at Grand Tradition Estate and Gardens in Fallbrook. Sound on.
Under the veil.
Hugo and Helen were married at Grand Tradition Estate and Gardens, in Fallbrook. The frame we open on is the two of them kissing beneath her veil, lifted and held over both their heads, her bouquet of deep pink and burgundy blooms sitting low in the shot. It is a covered frame, and that is the whole trick of it: the veil softens the light falling on their faces and takes everything behind them out of focus.
The film runs six minutes and forty-four seconds.
Notes on the place.
Grand Tradition has been running weddings since May 1984 and has put more than ten thousand of them through these gardens. The practical note for anyone filming here is distance. The estate covers about forty-five acres with eighteen of them landscaped, and the walk between the mansion, Compass Garden and Arbor Terrace is long with a full kit on your back. Golf cart assistance is available on request. Ask for it at the start of the day, not at six in the evening.
