We love to do wedding weekend coverage. It gives us the chance to hear the funny and telling stories from the rehearsal dinner.  A lot of times, we are able to incorporate those into the wedding film.  It makes it really special.  And speaking of special, these families are special.  From the groom's sister texting her dad after first meeting Claire, "We can not let Paul screw this up!" to fun dancing all night long, it was the perfect wedding!  I'm so excited to share with you their wedding weekend from The Grand Hotel in Fairhope, AL.

I'm sitting here watching this wedding film, knowing that it is ready to be released to the bride and groom, but yet, I just keep watching it over and over.  Cara has an infectious smile, you want her bridesmaids to be your friends, Hayden kisses Cara like a movie star (you know what I'm talking about) - it was just a pretty awesome wedding day!  Make sure you watch until the very end for a special, so very special, moment.

I always ask every bride how they found us.  It wasn't until Catherine chose for us to give to the Melanoma Research Foundation that I made the connection that she found us through a family that is near and dear to us.  Knowing that Catherine grew up with Molly and her family made me all the more excited for her wedding day to arrive.  Just look at these two below; aren't they the sweetest!

Having known each other most of their lives, Madison and Ben have a beautiful love story. It was so sweet to hear their parent's account of seeing the couple's love develop over time. What a joyous wedding day! Tissues ready?

We met smart, beautiful, kind and always lovely, Farah Naz Khan many years ago. She was always our go-to emcee/DJ/tech guru for her friends and family's weddings that we were filming. We always loved seeing her and knew the event was better because she was in charge. Fast forward several years, I get a message that she had found her love and they were to be married. We were thrilled! After all, Umar had to be pretty special too to win Farah's heart. Thank you for inviting us into your lives and your fabulous wedding!

We just love it when one of our weddings gets the attention it deserves.  Borrowed & Blue has highlighted this January wedding on their website.  Aren't the photos from LoveBe Photography just so beautiful!  Check out the feature here.

It's pretty exciting around here when one of our weddings gets featured in a national publication.  And of course Leah and Zac's wedding would be - the photos from Eric & Jamie Photography were gorgeous!  BUT Modern Weddings even included our video which makes it extra cool! Make sure you check it out here and even give a little love for them featuring the video.

I don't know what I love more about this film.  Maybe the Dad's first look with his daughter?  The beautiful flowers? The awesome guests having the time of their lives?  It's all pretty wonderful.  This video is such a great representation of WHY you MUST have video for your wedding.
