We are completely emotional over this video – Loren and Lex from Brinton Films did an incredible job! It is so amazing to watch the best day of our lives unfold in a beautiful video. They truly captured the love and emotion we were feeling that day.

We also received a sneak peek of our pictures from Davis Photographers. I …

As I was preparing for this final post, I reviewed the first inspiration board I made and realized that I stayed rather true to it.  I made a few alterations, due to budget or availability, but in essence I executed my plans and made my decisions  based on my original inspiration.  Inspiration boards are useful like outlines–they can act as …

The topic of filming our wedding has been a HUGE issue of contention since we started planning the wedding.  My fiance (and for the most part my parents), think that the benefit of hiring a videographer is not commensurate to the joy you get out of watching your wedding video in the future as they don’t think that they are …

I’m so excited to welcome a new featured vendor to EAD’s Dallas wedding guide today, Vanessa McKellar Productions.  Vanessa specializes in capturing weddings with emotion, detail, and beauty, and her videos are not the typical wedding videos – they are fresh and fun!

There aren’t a lot of female filmmakers out there, and as a newlywed, Vanessa can empathize with everything …

Chad and Juli’s rustic Phoenix wedding just exudes joy and happiness. Juli’s smile is completely infectious and the love and laughter that these two share is so inspiring! The venue is The Farm at South Mountain and all of the gorgeous images are by Jane Zarzynski Photography.

Beautiful Day Films captured the entire day on video and it’s simply …

When Brad from Shaking Hands Productions (he’s a fabulous Virginia-based videographer, go have a look!) emailed me with his proposal story, I knew I had to share it with you.  While Brad’s girlfriend Lyndsey was modeling for one of his videos Brad surprised her by proposing and Adam Miller caught the moment on video.   I teared up watching!

My proposal to Lyndsey from …

While a good slideshow is always a crowd-pleaser, there are a few new trends that I really love, and one of them we used for our wedding!

A newish service offered by video companies with the right equipment and talent, called Same-Day-Edits, takes the pre-ceremony getting ready footage and the ceremony itself, and quickly cuts them together into a highlight reel …

Julie had a great idea for the morning of her wedding to Jeff – she wanted to spend time at her childhood home surrounded by her family and her oldest and dearest friends.  She asked her cinematographer, William from humanstory films, to be there to document the morning and I love the sweet and personal video that is the result.

There was a time in the wedding planning process that videography was no where on my radar. I didn’t want to spend the money and I didn’t want to be left with a cheesy wedding video of a style circa 1992. You know what I’m talking about. But then, the more I became immersed in my happy wedding blog haven, …

The wedding videos I’ve seen lately are NOT your grandma’s boring wedding video.  These videos are incredibly creative and so well done.  I am currently working with our videographer, Steve to figure out how we can do this and what song we should use.  These three are my inspiration, and I only PRAY that we can come close to the …

Justin Fone shared the positively charming video from Maureen and Nathan’s Napa Valley wedding with us.  Maureen and Nathan are from London and held a beautiful destination wedding at the V. Sattui Winery.  The whole event was filmed in Super 8mm film – which is so classic and timeless…

When we first started dreaming about and planning our wedding, sticking to a budget that would allow us to have a fantastic event without draining our savings and that of my parents who are graciously contributing 2/3 of the budget was a priority. With that priority in mind, I put my MBA to the test and started hashing out a …
