Coming Soon: Katherine & Joshua

Well, this was my last wedding in Clarksville this year. I hope to book more up there next year so I can go visit my friends and all the awesome wedding vendors I've met over the years. I think it was really fitting that Katherine and Josh's wedding took place at Madison Street United Methodist Church and the Clarksville Country Club. Out of all the venues in Clarksville, we shot at that church and that reception venue the most. It really was the perfect way to finish my time living up there. And I couldn't have asked for a better wedding day to film! Katherine and Josh's wedding day was perfect - the bridal party, family & friends were awesome, the weather was great, and everything worked out perfectly. I can't wait to get to work on their films, and hopefully I'll be back at MSUMC and the Country Club soon for another amazing wedding day!

Ami + Will

3:00 pm We arrived at Pennryile State Park to film Ami aka The Bride getting ready for her wedding day.

5:00 pm We headed over to the outdoor ceremony site to film Will aka The Groom and shoot some b-roll.

5:30 pm The bottom dropped out. It was raining. Like, SERIOUSLY pouring. We hid under some trees.

The ceremony was supposed to start in an hour and there was no plan B. Then at about 6:00 pm, or 1 minute and 19 seconds into this highlights film, something amazing happened. The clouds parted, the sun came out, and it was like the rain never even happened. It. Was. Perfect.

Coming Soon: Kayla + Robert

Let's talk about the greatest wedding gift ever. Seriously, Robert hit this one out of the park. I don't want to spoil it so you're going to have to watch the trailer film but this groom's gift to his bride Kayla made for the sweetest first look that I've filmed all year. Enjoy!

Carrie & Nick: The Mosaic

There was SO much to love about Carrie and Nick's wedding day: the beautiful venue, the gorgeous weather, the fabulous guests, the handmade details, and, of course, the happy couple! Everything came together perfectly for Carrie and Nick's wedding day and it made filming and editing the event a lot of fun for us.

Lindsey & Josh

Blog fail! I uploaded Lindsey and Josh's mosaic film online a couple months ago and never added it to the blog. So, better late than never, I'm happy to finally be sharing some highlights from their wedding day! But first, let's back up a few months to March 2014. Filming Lindsey and Josh's wedding day was such a great way to start the wedding season! Everyone at the wedding, bridal party, family, and guests, were all a lot of fun, and we really enjoyed getting to be a part of Lindsey and Josh's special day. This was our first time shooting at both Oakwood Free Will Baptist Church and Valor Hall Conference & Event Center, and we loved getting to film at these new venues (well, new to us). :)

Kelly + Loren

When I found out that Kelly was having a small wedding at her home, I immediately knew that I was going to offer to film it for her. I knew this for several reasons:

1. I like Kelly. She's funny and sarcastic and I can totally relate to that. :)
2. While I do enjoy a big party, there's something so genuine and comfortable about quaint weddings at home. Filming small weddings is so relaxing and everyone is always welcoming. I really enjoy the atmosphere.
3. I truly believe that everyone deserves a wedding video. Kelly's first reaction when I asked her if she wanted a video was, "I can't afford you". I had a literal LOL and then told her I wanted to do it for free.

I knew there was a reason I wanted to be there that day and I'm so happy that I ended up being a part of their wedding day. Kelly's daughter made a toast after the ceremony that I believe was just wise beyond her years. Everything she said was so heart-felt and I think it would be sad if they didn't have that moment on video. I'm glad I was there filming that day and I'm excited for Kelly and Loren's future together with their big, happy family!

Emily + Sean: The Love Story

I was thrilled when Emily told me that her and her fiancee Sean wanted a Love Story to play at their reception! I love that I was able to get to know Emily and Sean a little before I filmed their wedding day, and shooting their Love Story gave me the opportunity to do so. Plus, it was fun to learn about their history together and what lead them up to their big day. Listening to how they speak about each other and watching how they interact with each other, it's obvious how in love they are and how they are just meant to be! I love that when I asked them individually "when did you know that ____ was the one?", they both gave the same response. :) Also, the story of Sean's proposal is so cute and funny - they really are a great couple! I'm so happy that I was able to meet Emily and Sean and be a part of their special day.

 

Brianna & Ethan: The Mosaic

Brianna and Ethan's wedding was so beautiful! One of my favorite moments from the day was their "no look", which they shared around the corner from each other before the ceremony. Ethan broke the ice with a little wedding joke (50 seconds in if you're in the mood for a laugh). :) They are such a great couple and we're so happy that we got to be a part of their wedding day.

Nicole & Nick: The Trailer

Shooting Nicole & Nick's wedding day was the perfect way to start the wedding season! The bride & groom were so happy & laid back, the sun was shining, the bridal party was fabulous, everything was just wonderful! I wish every wedding was full of such great people and such great surprises! :)

Rick & Bethany: The Mosaic

A couple months ago, our buddy Rick got "wife'd up" (his words - not mine) to our buddy Bethany (of Bethany Ann Photography - shameless plug - ahhh!). :) We had so much fun filming that day - but I had even more fun editing their footage. I laughed, I cried, I laughed some more! I'm so happy for Rick & Bethany - they are perfect for each other! I'm so grateful that they completely opened up their wedding day to us and we were able to capture all the awesomeness that is Rick & Bethany!
