Sophie + Jake

If there’s one wedding that’s going to stick with us forever, it’s Sophie and Jake’s. From the picturesque autumn setting at The Old Barn at Esholt in Bradford to the surprising and delightful moments sprinkled throughout the day, this wedding had it all: love, laughter, and a whole lot of fun. It’s the kind of wedding where each moment was more memorable than the last, and we were lucky enough to be their wedding videographers.... Here's the full story of their incredible day!

 Sophie and Jake had been planning their wedding for four years, and let me tell you, every second was worth the wait. The anticipation was palpable. From the moment we stepped into the stunning venue, it was clear that Sophie and Jake’s big day was going to be something truly special. The autumn leaves turning golden and the crisp air made for a perfect backdrop, creating the most romantic, rustic setting. Everything, from the details to the vibe, was pure magic.

The day was more than just a wedding—it was a celebration of love, family, and the beautiful journey Sophie and Jake had taken to get to this moment. But the fun didn’t stop there. Sophie and Jake brought their personalities into every part of the day, making sure it was uniquely theirs. And they absolutely nailed it.

After Sophie and Jake exchanged their vows, they did something truly unique: they asked their mums to be the first people to hug them. This wasn’t just any hug—it was a full-circle moment that had everyone in the room wiping away tears. Their mums were the first to hold them when they were born, and in that moment, they were the first to hug them as newlyweds. It was a beautiful gesture that honoured their mums and symbolised the love and support that had carried Sophie and Jake through their lives.
This was one of those moments that no one will forget. It wasn’t just about the wedding—it was about family, about love that had been there since the very beginning. It was the perfect way to kick off what was already shaping up to be a day filled with unforgettable moments.

Sophie and Jake were absolutely stunning during their portraits. The autumn colours provided the perfect backdrop, and with the sunlight streaming through the trees, every shot felt like something out of a fairytale. Their love for each other was so evident in every clip, and you could tell that they were absolutely meant to be.

Let’s talk about Sophie’s brownies for a moment. If there was one thing that stole everyone’s hearts (besides the couple themselves), it was Sophie’s homemade brownies. She had baked them in the days leading up to the wedding, and these weren’t just any brownies—they were decadent, gooey, chocolatey perfection. As guests enjoyed their brownies during the after the wedding breakfast, you could hear the collective "Mmmm", and honestly, it felt like every single guest was secretly wondering if they could grab a few more before they disappeared.
But it wasn’t just about the food. It was the thoughtfulness behind every detail, like the beautiful homemade treats that added a personal touch to the day. It’s little things like this that made this wedding feel so special.

Meanwhile, there were a few golf pros in the mix—people who clearly didn’t just come to play, they came to dominate. They made the rest of us look like amateurs, sinking shots with effortless grace while everyone else was busy trying to get the perfect angle for their next Instagram story. But even the pros couldn’t top the sheer entertainment value of the twerking ladies and their golf club dance moves.

As the evening drew to a close, Sophie and Jake decided to end the night with a bang—literally. The night sky lit up with an absolutely spectacular fireworks show, which was a complete surprise to everyone. Thanks to ***OPTIMUM FIREWORKS*** The sky exploded in a cascade of vibrant colors, and for a moment, it felt like time stood still. Guests gathered in awe, hands over their hearts, watching as the sky above them seemed to mirror the joy and celebration of the day.
The fireworks weren’t just a spectacular sight—they were the perfect way to close a day that had already been filled with emotion, joy, and laughter. It was a reminder that love, like the fireworks, can explode into something beautiful and unforgettable.

Sophie and Jake’s wedding wasn’t just about getting married—it was about creating moments that would stay with everyone forever. From the personal touches, like Sophie’s homemade brownies and the heartfelt first hug from their mums, to the fun-filled moments like mini-golf and twerking with golf clubs, this wedding was one of those rare, perfect days. It was a celebration of family, love, laughter, and everything that makes life worth living.

So here’s to Sophie and Jake: for showing us that a wedding doesn’t have to be traditional to be memorable. For reminding us that the best weddings are filled with joy, laughter, and moments that are as unexpected as they are beautiful. We couldn’t be more honoured to have been part of your unforgettable day! 💕⛳💃🎆


...Nothing was too big (capturing our fireworks!) or too small (helping my mum put my dad's buttonhole on). They were fun, friendly and such a good laugh throughout the day"

Now, here’s where the wedding took a turn for the unexpected—in the best possible way. After everyone had their fill of Sophie’s brownies, the next event on the agenda was a round of wedding golf on the adjoining driving range at The Old Barn at Esholt . But let’s be clear: this wasn’t your average round of golf. Sophie and Jake brought their own fun to the game, turning it into one of the most entertaining and unpredictable events of the day.

Jake, who apparently had been secretly practicing, was swinging like a pro. He whacked away with the kind of precision that made us all wonder if he had a hidden career as a professional golfer. His calm, collected performance had everyone impressed and, let’s be honest, maybe a little envious of his skills.
But while Jake was showing off his skills, the ladies were out there turning golf into a full-on twerking contest. Yes, you read that right: twerking. Picture this: beautiful bridesmaids, dressed to the nines, holding golf clubs and shaking it on the course like no one was watching. It was honestly one of the most hilarious and fun parts of the day, and you couldn’t help but laugh at the sheer joy and spontaneity of it all. The energy was infectious, and suddenly, it wasn’t about who could sink the most balls—it was about having an absolute blast.
