Wedding Videography at Leez Priory: Cinematic Moments You’ll Treasure Forever

If you’re getting married at the stunning Leez Priory in Essex, first of all—congratulations! This Tudor mansion is one of the most romantic and historic wedding venues in the country, and it’s an absolute dream to film. I’m Benjamin, the person behind Race Wedding Videography, and I recently had the privilege of filming Sian and Tom’s beautiful wedding at Leez Priory. With its rose-brick architecture, sweeping drive, walled gardens and lakeside views, Leez Priory is made for cinematic storytelling—and that’s exactly what I specialise in.

Why Film Your Wedding at Leez Priory?

The architecture, the history, the atmosphere

Leez Priory is a Grade I listed Tudor mansion, just outside Chelmsford. Whether it’s your ceremony outside the Tower, speeches in the Great Hall, or golden hour portraits in the gardens, every corner of this venue lends itself perfectly to a timeless, romantic wedding film.

Ceremony locations full of character

Leez Priory was actually the first country house in the UK to be licensed for civil ceremonies. It offers multiple ceremony spaces—inside and out—each with a unique character. I know the flow of the venue really well, so I’m always in the right place at the right time to capture the moments that matter most.

Incredible across every season

Whether it’s spring blossom, summer sun, autumn leaves, or a frosty winter wedding, Leez Priory always delivers. For example, Sian and Tom had the perfect blend of soft skies with a grand architecture as the backdrop—every element worked together to create a naturally cinematic feel.

My Filming Style – Relaxed, Natural, Cinematic

My approach to Essex Wedding Videography is personal and low-key. I want you to feel comfortable being yourselves, so I stay as unobtrusive as possible while capturing genuine, meaningful moments.

I don’t do stiff posing or awkward re-takes. I let the day unfold, capturing it with care and a creative eye—telling your story with all the emotion, laughter and joy intact. I work solo, but I’m equipped with the skills, experience and gear to deliver multi-angle coverage that feels immersive and intimate.

Memorable Moments I Capture at Leez Priory

Here’s what you can expect from your wedding film:

Bridal prep in Leez Priory’s beautiful private rooms
Emotional vows and reactions from family and friends
Aerial and wide shots of the building, gardens and lakes
Golden hour footage as you stroll together as newlyweds
Sparkler tunnels, evening fireworks and first dances by candlelight

Every wedding is different, and I shape your film around the unique energy and flow of your day!

Real Wedding Videography Highlight – Sian & Tom at Leez Priory

Sian and Tom’s wedding had everything: heartfelt vows, joyful speeches, champagne toasts in The Coachouse and an incredible evening atmosphere. The ceremony took place in one of the manor’s grand spaces, filled with natural light pouring through historic windows. Later, I filmed romantic couple shots by the water, framed by the soft rustle of leaves and the golden sunset. The evening ended with laughter and dancing under the stars. It’s always a pleasure filming at a venue that feels both elegant and personal—and Leez Priory gives couples that perfect mix.

Why I Love Filming at Leez Priory

I’ve filmed at many venues across Essex, but Leez Priory really stands out. Here’s why:

I know the best spots for light, angles, and composition
I understand how to use the space without being intrusive
I’ve experienced how the weather moves through the grounds and how to adapt
The staff are helpful and organised, which makes everything run smoothly

Having filmed multiple weddings in Essex, I’ve built a solid understanding of how to capture its beauty in every season.
