Chuck + Braden Highlight
I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Chuck for quite a few years (since college…we took a basketball class together), so when they asked us to film his and Braden’s wedding, Trisha and I were ecstatic, to say the least. It hadn’t even been a full year since we filmed his brother’s wedding (Walt + Kayla) so we knew we were in for another treat hanging out with the Holland gang…
From rehearsal to the dinner to decorating for the wedding day festivities, even as a vendor, they made us feel like family. As a videographer, I can truthfully say that I love that because it allows us to work freely inside of our creativity and capture those intimate shots that might feel otherwise too intrusive to film.
As you’ll be able to tell from the highlight, Chuck is all about style. Everything matches…from the pink and blue shoes to the table decorations to the rings to the unity sand. It all ties in together. Even during the ceremony, you can see through the design (four aisles and four sets of chairs that form a spoke around the marriage platform) that it is laden with style purpose, not purpose to impress, but purpose to glorify God with their marriage. That’s extremely encouraging. What is beautiful is that even behind our camera lens, we are able to tell that the commitment that Chuck and Braden made to each other was pure and honest and destined for a lifetime.
Congratulations Chuck and Braden…here’s to a lifetime of happiness and Christ-centeredness!

Truth or Dare Video Booth
We had the privilege of filming Andy and Katie’s Wedding a few weeks ago at the gorgeous Braselton-Stover House. There were A LOT of unique things about their wedding, especially the ceremony. ; some of which I can’t wait to share with you once the editing is done, but in the mean time, I wanted to pass along this creative idea that Katie helped ponder up.
We set up a Video Booth during the reception in which all of the guests could come by and pull a card out of a bag. Each card had a Truth or a Dare written on it and the guest was required to answer/act it out. What resulted was 30 minutes worth (final edit) of hilarity and shenanigans and I can’t wait to show Andy and Katie the whole thing.
But in the meantime, there’s this 5 minute clip of some of the silliness that took place.
Best wishes to Andy and Katie! If this video is any indication, you’ve surrounded yourself with entertaining friends that will always keep a smile on your face.
Wedding Life Expectancy
The other day I was perusing the interwebs when I came across an article that was trying to put a wedding day into perspective. The point was to take each element of a typical wedding and consider the amount of time that specific part takes up in the day and compare it in the grand scheme of things in a lifetime of a marriage. I decided to make a little graphic to illustrate the point:
When you take a step back and look at it, the things that really last from your wedding day are the memories…and I believe that videography is one of the BEST ways to capture and remember those moments.
PS. I also want to draw on the fact that Vows have a lifetime expectancy. The only catch to doing wedding videography for me is that I really don’t want repeat business. I want those memories captured to be just as beautiful 50 years from now as they were on their wedding day. Just as I believe that photography and videography are meant to last a lifetime, I believe that vows are meant to last a lifetime as well. It’s a beautiful thing.
Wedding Season
Wedding season is upon us. That means that a lot of brides are scouring the web, magazines, and shows to finish up (perhaps begin) their plans for the big day.
Venues are being looked at…
Caterers are being trialed…
