Joy & Trevor - April 26, 2008

I had to put this video on the blog. Joy and I have known each other since we were about 2 years old. My first memory of Joy was being together at a daycare while our moms were at a Bible study. I remember seeing this girl who had the audacity to chew her gum with her mouth open. I told her close her mouth when she chews! To be fair, I hear one of her first memories of me was of her scolding me for coloring outside the lines. Fast forward 20-some years and we've both found spouses who can accept us, flaws and all! Joy and Trevor's wedding was stunning - thanks in large part to Joy's mother, the queen of crafts. I learned that it's quite a challenge to work at a wedding where you know most of the attendees, especially when you haven't seen many of them since college. I think I managed to (somewhat) catch up with people while still shooting all the action!

Christy & Marshall - September 2, 2006

I'm not going to post every wedding video I've made - I don't think anyone would ever want to watch all of them! But since the top of this blog says "photography and videography", I do want to post a few significant ones along the way. Christy and Marshall were my first real wedding "clients" and their wedding was the first that I shot AND edited. I always get really excited to shoot a wedding if I really care about the couple or if I can tell that they are nice people and really love each other. Of course, C & M had all of those things going for them! And on top of that, their video gave me a legitimate sample to show future clients of my own work. So I was almost as pumped for them and their day as they were!
