Filming a wedding at MC Motors
MC Motors in Dalston is a former mechanics workshop turned event space - raw brick, vintage signage and an aesthetic that's hosted a decade of fashion shoots and music videos before it hosts your wedding.
Couples who choose MC Motors are almost always image-makers themselves - photographers, designers, directors. They don't want a wedding video; they want a film. Good.
Honest note: I haven't filmed a wedding at MC Motors yet - this guide is written for couples planning one there. Before any new venue I scout in person or arrive early on the day, walking the ceremony and reception spaces and planning shots around the light, so nothing is left to chance.
How I'd film your day here
- Raw textures and Edison light give every frame an editorial, analogue feel - I grade to match.
- The venue's history as a shoot location means every corner already works on camera.
- East London streets outside offer gritty, honest portrait frames a country house could never give.
Urban Dalston location rules out drones - this venue's film is built entirely from its interiors and streets, and it's better for it.
Not yet - consider this a planning guide. Before any new venue I visit or arrive early on the day to scout ceremony sightlines, light and sound, so the coverage is planned rather than improvised.
