Vintage Themed Birthday Party filmed on Super 8 - Roger Pinnington





































A Vintage Fun Fair is always a great theme for a family party and it couldn't have been more perfectly organised than at Roger's 80th birthday celebrations in Chiddingfold. 'Purely Events' organised this surprise birthday party meticulously starting the day off with incredibly talented prangsters, jugglers, face painters and a balloon man entertaining the guests as they arrived to cool glasses of champagne at the lovely Surrey countryside venue.

Guests were treated to Vintage style fish and chips, hot dogs, jacket spuds, candy floss and ice-cream cones and were entertained in a original Circus 'Big Top' by an amazing street magician.

The afternoon and early evening were marked by family speeches and two live music sets by a local band that included some very famous Rock and Roll faces!

The vintage funfair which included 'Hook a Duck' stalls, a 'Helter Skelter' and old fashioned 'Boat Swings' was a huge hit and enjoyed by young and old.

It was a truly memorable day and I am sure Roger, his friends and family will have lasting memories of such a special celebration!

Mandarin Oriental, Knightsbridge Wedding - Dianna and Rowland












































It wasn't only the Queen celebrating last Sunday in London!  Dianna
and Rowland flew in from Hong Kong for their glamourous Vintage  Jubilee day Wedding
at the glitzy Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Knightsbridge.

The bride and groom wedding day was a fusion of Western and
Chinese traditions, which included an amazing Chinese Wedding Feast
as well as a traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony.

The bride looked truly beautiful in both her traditional western white
dress and her red Chinese Wedding gown.

The attention to detail at this Wedding was amazing, nothing was left
to chance and it proved to be a spectacular event with everything
going to plan. The guests napkins were spritzed with Jo Malone scented linen
spray and through to a 'Wishing Tree' for guests to leave the
Bride and Groom special messages.

The couple's first dance was to Ellie Golding's version of 'Your Song'
and the String Quartet played a special rendition of Florence and the
Machine's 'You got the Love' as they walked down the aisle as husband
and wife.

Congratulations to you both from s8 films, it was a pleasure capturing
your special day for you.
