Eloise and Michael originally planned to marry abroad — but life had other plans. Instead of waiting for the perfect moment, they chose something even more beautiful: an intimate celebration close to home with the people who matter most. With just 12 weeks to plan, they turned to Jennifer Louise Weddings to design a day of genuine warmth, meaning, and effortless elegance at Euridge House and Orangery in the Cotswolds. What followed was an extraordinary and deeply personal celebration — a wedding that became something entirely its own.
“Not only did HD Moments capture the feel of our day, but every detail we had chosen was filmed so beautifully. More than that, they captured our story. From the speeches, readings, and vows, HD Moments translated this all into the story of ‘us’ in a way we never could imagine possible.”

Euridge House — The Setting
Euridge House and Orangery is one of the most extraordinary private wedding estates in the Cotswolds — a Georgian manor in Castle Combe spanning 450 acres of rose gardens, palm trees, manicured terraces, a beautiful mirrored pool, and a fairytale-inspired boathouse. Its combination of complete exclusivity, genuine historic character, and extraordinary natural beauty makes it one of the finest intimate wedding venues in England — ideal for couples who want something genuinely private, deeply beautiful, and entirely their own.

The Ceremony — Dogs, Vows & Pure Joy
On a bright August afternoon, Eloise and Michael exchanged vows surrounded by their closest family and friends — and their two beloved dogs, wearing matching bandanas, who joined the ceremony and instantly became the undisputed stars of the aisle. The particular quality of complete intimacy that a small ceremony with only the people you love most produces is simply incomparable — and it gave every moment of the ceremony footage a warmth and genuine emotional depth that we treasure completely.
The Alfresco Dinner & the Rainstorm
After the ceremony, guests gathered for an elegant alfresco dinner at a long king’s table beneath cascading roses and climbing vines. The extraordinary floral archway crafted by All For Love London framed the outdoor dining space with soft, romantic blooms that complemented Euridge House’s enchanting atmosphere entirely.
And then — just as dinner began — a sudden summer rainstorm swept across the estate. Guests laughed as they ran for shelter, protecting champagne glasses and each other, before returning to the celebration moments later, warm and entirely delighted. After everything the world had experienced in 2020, a little summer rain felt not like an interruption but like part of the story — and it gave the film one of its most genuinely joyful and completely unscripted sequences.
The Evening — Dancing & Sparklers
The evening carried on with dancing, sparklers, and a warm and glowing first dance under the night sky — intimate, emotional, and full of the little unscripted moments that make a wedding film truly endure. Their dream of a Tuscan celebration had changed — but what they had instead was something entirely extraordinary, and entirely theirs.
