Wedding Trend Alert | Next Day Edits

For the past few years, we have seen the popularity rise for Same Day Edits (you can read about them here), but recently the Next Day Edit appeared on the wedding scene.  As a vendor, I am not sure that they are any easier than a SDE; they actually might be harder to produce (because you are tired from the wedding already but still have to stay awake and edit throughout the night).  But the impact is still very high.

For this clip, our family wanted a little entertainment for their Farewell Brunch at ALOFT Hotel on the Sunday following the wedding.  We created this piece to not only help everyone to remember all of the details that came together to make a fabulous wedding but it also gave their family and friends (that were absent) a way of feeling a part of the celebration.

It was delivered that morning and our wonderful editor, John, came home and promptly went to bed!

Abbie + Neal | Shoal Creek | Mother's Loving Words

I just received these kinds words from our mother of the bride from this past weekend. Her daughter, Abbie, was married at the always gorgeous Shoal Creek Country Club.

"Just wanted to send you hugs and kisses and thank you for sharing your weekend with us.  You were so sweet and I love sweet, sweet people.  Can't wait to see what you and your husband captured.  I know it's going to be great.  So glad we were told about yall.  You both were wonderful and so delightful to work with.  You seemed like one of my girls."

Some families stand out more than others.  This family is one of those families.  I LOVED the way the dad looked at his baby girl as a bride.  You could see how proud he was and how much he loved her.  We created a special time for the FOB to see his daughter and it was filled with emotion.  Dad was crying, Abbie was crying, Stacy Richardson (photographer) was crying, I was crying; we were all boo-hooing.  I can't wait to see the footage from this part of the day.  

I was so honored to receive this email; I just had to share.  The feeling was mutual. 

And now a few quick iPhone photos that I took during the day.  

Megan and Joel | Live Streaming | Ceremony

Hello family and friends!  This is currently the page holder for you to be able to watch Megan and Joel exchange their wedding vows at Prince of Peace Catholic Church on Saturday, April 20. The ceremony begins at 6:30 so approximately 30 minutes before you will start to see some activity in a box below.  Once again, you will be able to view the ceremony on this page, just below this text. Don't be alarmed if you see the church for a second and then it disappears as we will be testing all connections in the hour leading up to the ceremony start time.
