Blog Index

We have tried to design our blog for our fans, friends, and family to keep up with what we are doing each week.  It is also a good way to get to know us.  Or maybe just a way that I (Angela) can talk up a storm without John getting annoyed.  We will see...

Also included are the Insider's Tips, which started out as a challenge to post one tip per week for an entire year.  We hope that you will find that they are not just the normal information you find out there in wedding world, but more unusual tips that can only be found when you live on the inside.  Ha!  Really, we just attend a lot of weddings.

Gratitude

It's hard to be humble and not brag when we have such great clients that say so many nice things.  I am posting this email that we recieved a couple of days ago from a bride who recently watched her video for the first time.  Yes, I am proud.  My husband is the most amazing editor!  You can see the love in every edit.  So maybe it is a little bragging.  But it will also serve the purpose of helping brides that are on the fence about videography for their wedding.

I also hope that it shows you that you are not ordering a Big Mac - that every wedding is different and unique and that it takes time to create a keepsake that you will enjoy for a lifetime.

from Caroline:

"Angela it was perfect. I mean just perfect.!! I cannot wait to have everyone in my life watch it. We were blown away by everything. Literally cried for the whole hour- it went by in no time, but I feel like it caught every moment we would want to remember. James and I just sat there in awe of all the feelings that it evoked. It took us right back to that day and how perfect and wonderful it was. We are so thankful that the Lord has blessed you in the way that He has. Just yesterday I had a girl message me about who we used because the highlights made her cry... It's like well you should see the whole thing haha. I was able to tell her how much yall meant to us because you really gave us the most precious gift. Pictures can only do so much- I will tell anyone and everyone till the day I die that having a videographer(s) at your wedding is top 3 most important things that you should have. Sacrifice anything haha. Thank you so much! It truly is the biggest blessing we have received and I am so sorry I didn't email you right after we watched it. We are just so joyous about it!! I cannot say thank you enough. Your work is amazing!!"

Here are the highlights taken from their wedding video.

Insider's Tips: Tip #55: Late Night Snacks

Back on the Insider's Tips: Tip #37, I talked about the fun trend of the After Party.  But you don't have to do an After Party to offer your guests this wonderful new creation of the Late Night Snack!  

Just imagine at your reception, your guests have had dinner and now everybody is partying and having a good time.  It gets to be around 10 and out comes the LATE NIGHT SNACK!  It is not only perfect timing but delicious as well!  All guests are happy with their tummy's full!  You might dance a little more before you make your grand exit.  And as you drive away, your guests will be thanking you for the delicious snack before the party ended! (And the fact that they don't have to stop at Waffle House, or some other all night establishment, on the way home!)

A special thanks to Intimate Weddings for their picture!

Doors

It seems like every bride wants the feeling of when the doors of the church open up for she and her dad to begin the walk down the aisle to her new life.  It is powerful.  It is emotional.  But this can only be achieved if you get married inside, right?  NO!!

I just found the most darling way of being able to have the best of both worlds.  Brilliant and it is gorgeous! Thank you Southern Weddings Magazine and Tec Petaja Photo for such a cute idea.

Love Letters

When it comes time for that wonderful part of the wedding day for the bride and groom to exchange their gifts, I love it when a thoughtful love letter is either included with the gift or it is the gift.  It is a special, special time.  And just imagine being able to read it over and over again through the years.  

A lot of times a bridesmaid or MOH will deliver bride's letter to the groom and vise versa.  Even in the video below, we have beautiful footage of the couple reading their letter after they were dressed for the wedding.  It always brings a lot of emotion to the surface (and we love emotion!!).

I saw this picture on Adam + Allie's Photography website and I LOVED the idea.  Not only is it sweet, but it is building the anticipation of being able to turn around and see your bride or groom.  Can you imagine the butterflies!!!
