What a videographer looks for in this venue
What an estate publishes about itself tells a videographer a lot. Here is what, at Mauvinet, would have a direct effect on the shoot.
A terrace larger than the hall
300 m² of terrace for 240 m² of hall is an unusual ratio, and it says a great deal about how the day can unfold. A drinks reception that spreads outdoors means natural light that lasts, groups forming and dissolving, and far more material for a film than a closed room.
A restored stable, and therefore volume
Former stables generally offer height and large openings. That is valuable on camera: light falls from above rather than head-on, and you can step back to frame wide without pressing against a wall.
42 beds for 200 guests
The ratio is worth anticipating. Some guests will sleep on site and others will not, which affects the rhythm of the late evening. It is worth settling with your suppliers if you want the end of the party filmed.
Wedding videographer in Mayenne
Studio SB creates wedding films in Mayenne and across the region. On weddings far from Mayenne, where I am based, scouting the day before is part of the package: it lets me see the light at the exact hour of the ceremony rather than discovering it on the day.
This venue is one of the Mayenne wedding venues I document. You can also discover the wedding film packages or the Google reviews left by the couples I have worked with.
Contacting the venue
This page is independent of the estate, which I do not represent. Mauvinet handles its own availability, rates and viewings.
