My June has been jam packed with weddings! I have a little break this week and this weekend so I’m catching up on editing (and blogging!). Kryshanna and Clifton got married earlier this month at Beasley Park in Fort Walton Beach. One of my favorite wedding coordinators, Barefoot Weddings, did a gorgeous set up for them on the beach. A week after their ceremony, Kryshanna and Clifton had a reception back home, so I quickly editing their ceremony and highlights films so they could play them for their guests at their reception.
Shemeka and Marlon got married last Thursday at James Lee Park in Destin. Their pastor came down from Alabama to officiate their wedding and he did an amazing job. You can tell he cared about their marriage and he gave great advice (for any couple!) throughout the ceremony.
Shemeka and Marlon had a reception back home 2 days later so I quickly edited their ceremony and highlights films and got them online so they could play them for their guests at their reception. This was by far my quickest turnaround time for editing, but it was actually really easy because it was such a great ceremony and I genuinely enjoyed filming and watching it.
Happy couples make the best wedding videos! Bailey and Nico were all smiles throughout their entire wedding day and it was really refreshing to work with such a genuinely nice couple. Weddings can be stressful and I think a lot of times, brides and grooms and their bridal parties and families can get so wrapped up and fixated on the little things that aren’t perfect, they forget why they’re there in the first place. Bailey and Nico definitely had their priorities straight and they were such a pleasure to work with. I wish them years of happiness and I’m so grateful they allowed me to be a part of their wedding day.
I love when couples write their own wedding vows. It adds such a sweet, personal touch to a ceremony. Paige and Shane shared the vows they wrote to each other earlier this month in their barefoot beach ceremony. They are such a fun, happy couple and I’m glad I was there to capture their beautiful wedding day.
I’m so excited about editing Bailey and Nico’s films. I knew from the get-go that I was going to enjoy capturing their wedding day. From the first time I spoke on the phone with Bailey, she had such wonderful energy and excitement about their wedding. This also happens to be my favorite Barefoot Weddings setup so far. Here’s a little sneak peek of their ceremony at Henderson Beach State Park.
Paige and Shane had a perfect little barefoot ceremony last weekend on Okaloosa Island. Here’s a little sneak peek of their ceremony, coordinated by Crystal Beach Weddings.
I had another successful double wedding weekend! I started off with Paris and Tameka’s wedding ceremony and reception at the Embassy Suites in Miramar Beach. Here’s a little sneak peak of their big day.
Jessica and Tim’s wedding day was pretty exciting for me – it was my first time filming 2 ceremonies in 1 day, and I was ready for the challenge. Jessica and Tim’s ceremony was my first wedding for the day. It was an afternoon ceremony at Beasley Park in Fort Walton Beach. They had a larger beach ceremony with lots of friends and family in attendance. They were all smiles throughout the entire ceremony and it made for a beautiful video.
After their ceremony, I headed over to Miramar Beach to film Christine and Corey’s wedding. The timing ended up working out perfectly and I actually have another double wedding day coming up in a month so this is apparently officially a thing that I do now!
I just don’t even know where to start with this one. I loved everything about Christine and Corey’s wedding day. The only people, other than the bride and groom, at their ceremony were Pastor Dean, their photographer Jennifer, and me. (It was actually my first time signing as a witness on a marriage certificate and I was a little too excited about it.)
When we first got to the ceremony location, there were some college-aged spring breakers on a balcony listening to music. With minimal expectations, I ran over and asked them if they could turn down their music for like 15 minutes so it wouldn’t be in the background of Christine and Corey’s wedding video. They were so nice and immediately turned their music off. After the ceremony, I thanked them and let them know that they were good to turn it back on. Then a sweet young gentleman named Levi ran down and handed Corey a beer. He even ran down a second time with a bottle opener. Those unique moments are why I love when people hire a professional videographer to capture their wedding day. Christine and Corey had this amazing, fun wedding ceremony and they have it all on video, to help preserve those memories.
