WEDDING DAY | LINDSAY AND CAMERON | SWAN LAKE EVENT CENTER | SEPTEMBER 8TH, 2023
Lindsay and Cameron were the sweetest couple! They had a real vision for what they wanted their day to look like at Swan Lake and they pulled it off perfectly. We have filmed at Swan Lake many times but this was the first time a couple picked the location across the lake for their ceremony and it was truly magical. The ceremony was intimate in the best way and felt tucked away from the rest of the venue.
Lindsay and Cameron chose to write their own vows and they were beautiful. You could tell how much time and energy each one of them put into the vows, telling the story of their love in a way that was just so sweet. Their vows were complimented by the gifts they gave each other on their wedding day. Lindsay had been saving ticket stubs and notes from all the important events in their relationship for many years and she gave them to Cameron with a note on the day of their wedding. It was so unique!
We always love a chance to film at Swan Lake and we may have found our new ceremony space! We also took advantage of an open field to get some great shots at sunset. It was so fun to watch Lindsay and Cameron really show their personalities while we were shooting in the field.
We hope their fun personalities are reflected in the film we created for them!
WEDDING DAY | ASHLEY AND MICHAEL | FLORA AND FIELD | AUGUST 26TH, 2023
Talk about a HOT day! Ashley and Michael’s wedding day was so beautiful but it was a hot one! Despite how hot it was we were super excited to be able to film at a new location, Flora and Field. It was the perfect location. It has an indoor/outdoor barn vibe, with the best spaces for getting ready with your bridal party. We would go back in a heartbeat!
It is always fun to film a wedding with photographers you are familiar with and for this wedding we were able to shoot with Carter Teal. She is quickly becoming one of our favorite photographers. She is always having fun which makes working with her easy. We would recommend her to anyone with an upcoming wedding!
Ashley and Michael exchanged gifts prior to the ceremony and Michael gave Ashley one of the most unique gifts we have seen…a motorcycle helmet. Then we were able to go outside and film Michael, his brother, and his data on their matching motorcycles. The shot came out so cool and I am sure is a great memory for them to have.
Make sure to check out the flower girl in their wedding film ;)
WEDDING DAY | JORDAN AND ELIZABETH | STRONGWATER EVENTS | JUNE 16TH, 2023
This may have been one of the most meaningful days we have captured! Jordan and Elizabeth got married on Pride weekend in Columbus and it was totally by coincidence. The city was truly electric with all the pride celebrations and to be a part of their wedding on this weekend really felt impactful.
Jordan and Elizabeth planed a beautiful ceremony full of meaningful and unique readings. We have been to well over 100 weddings but this may have been the first time it was hard to hold back tears during a ceremony. Seeing people be celebrated for who they are without any judgment is something you wish for all of your couples, but to see it in this way is really touching.
Strongwater is always one of our favorite venues. Most couples choose to get married in the outdoor area, which is covered in vines and very industrial looking. It provides the perfect backdrop to film a ceremony in. The venue is also in the middle of Franklinton, which provides so many backdrops for photo and video opportunity that it can be hard to pick just a few…but its a good problem to have!
We hope that Jordan and Elizabeth’s film makes you feel the same emotions we did on their wedding day!
WEDDING DAY | KARISSA AND NATHAN | HOMESTEAD OF RADNOR | MAY 27TH, 2023
Karissa and Nathan had the most beautiful wedding day and to top it off everything was so laid back and stress free, there is truly nothing better. We arrived early while the bride and bridesmaids were getting ready so we were able to play around with different flat lay options. Karissa and Nathan had great accessories, including things we don’t normally see which was so fun. Nathan’s mom had put him in a bonnet when he was born; the bonnet came with the sweetest poem about presenting it to your future wife to walk down the aisle with (…think handkerchief). It was so unique and it is amazing that all these years later Nathan’s mom remembered she had it!
And who doesn’t love a wedding with a food truck?! This is the second wedding we have shot at the Homestead of Radnor and we always look forward to it because the food is always so good! Karissa and Nathan had a taco truck and not only were the tacos great, but there was a chips and dips bar. We have never seen something like that but we would not be mad if we saw it again!
Enjoy the film we put together for Karissa and Nathan to remember their big day by!
WEDDING DAY | MARY AND LAP | SWAN LAKE EVENT CENTER | MAY 30TH, 2023
We always love a return to Swan Lake Event Center! It is a beautiful setting and everything is within steps of each other, including places for the bride and groom to get ready, the ceremony space, and the reception space. The setting and lighting for getting ready shots is always a toss up, but at Swan Lake Event Center its always perfect because of the windows that line the getting ready rooms.
Mary and Lap may be one of the most family oriented couples we have shot with. From the moment we pulled up there was tons of family ready to support the couple on their wedding day. They made sure to make the most of their day but getting all kinds of family photos and video that I am sure they will cherish forever.
Mary and Lap read their own vows at the ceremony, which were so sweet, but I think the best part was the two flower girls dancing down the aisle and all the cheering that came with it. They also had their dog bring the rings down the aisle and sit next to them during their first kiss. We love when couples include their dogs in the wedding!
Mary and Lap’s wedding turned out perfectly and we are so excited for you to see their wedding film!
WEDDING DAY | HAILEY AND CAMERON | BLYSTONE FARMS | MAY 13TH, 2023
We had never had the opportunity to shoot at Blystone Farms but Hailey and Cameron’s wedding day gave us that chance! It was truly a beautiful day, with the perfect weather, in the perfect setting. The farm is has the best addition to any wedding day film…horses. Hailey was able to interact with the horses which provided to be a great addition to their wedding films.
Before the ceremony Hailey’s bridal party prayed over her which did not leave a dry eye in the bunch. It was touching to see the girls come together and wish the best for Hailey and the start of her marriage with Cameron. Once the prayer had ended Hailey and Cameron did a first look with a twist. They stood back to back around one of the corners of their reception venue and had a moment to themselves which included reading private vows they had written to each other. We really loved that idea!
Their reception had so many personal touches, including a seating chart and table numbers themed after the Lord of the Rings. It’s fun to film a wedding reception with personal touches that are so different from the norm.
We hope you enjoy the film we put together for Hailey and Cameron!
WEDDING DAY | KATIE + TAREN | WORTHINGTON HILLS COUNTRY CLUB | APRIL 29TH, 2023
Ever seen a grooms truck break down on the side of the road on the way to his wedding? Well, Taren’s did, but he recovered quickly and made it to Worthington Hills Country Club to prep for his wedding day!
We started off the day hanging out with Katie and all her bridesmaids while they got ready at the Worthington Hills Country Club. While they were getting their hair and makeup done we were able to take all of Katie’s beautiful details and capture them in flat lays for our films. The reception space was full of light coming through the floor to ceiling windows, so it made out job easy.
There ceremony was held at a church in Worthington which proved to be a beautiful backdrop for them to exchange vows and become husband and wife. The flowers that Katie and her bridesmaids carried down the aisle were the perfect compliment to the decor of the church. After the ceremony we had the perfect weather to be able to capture film of the couple, as well as the bridal party and ceremony outside on the grounds of the Worthington Hills Country Club.
During the reception Katie and Taren’s friend gave the most touching speeches about the couple. You can tell they are truly loved by everyone around them.
We can not wait for you to see the film we put together for Katie and Taren’s wedding day!
WEDDING DAY | HANNAH AND LAUREN | JORGENSEN FARMS | MARCH 17TH, 2023
Hannah and Lauren kicked off our 2023 wedding season! We were lucky enough to shoot our first wedding of the year at Jorgensen Farms. No matter the weather, it is a truly beautiful venue. It is a dream to shoot at.
The ceremony took place in the greenhouse, with light pouring in from all angles. Hannah and Lauren had a unique twist on the traditional ceremony with a handfasting. Handfasing is a Celtic ritual where the couples’ hands are tied together with cords or ribbons as they face each other. As the hand fasting is taking place, the couple recites vows to symbolize their unity. It was truly a special moment in Hannah and Lauren’s ceremony.
Enjoy Hannah and Lauren’s full wedding video!

ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION | ELENA AND WES | RAYMOND MEMORIAL GOLF COURSE | MAY 29TH, 2021
Elena and Wes's anniversary celebration was an opportunity for us to do something a little different! Due to the pandemic Elena and Wes hold an intimate backyard ceremony in 2020 surrounded by their family. To celebrate their marriage they had a one year anniversary party in 2021 with their family and friends.
Because Elena and Wes were already married we wanted to fill their wedding film with memories from the happy couple. Adding sweet words from their family and closest friends was important as well; this gave us the opportunity to really convey how loved this couple is! Elena and Wes are so lucky to be surrounded by so many people that love them; this was very evident in the interviews we held and the sweet remarks everyone had for the couple.
Elena and Wes's anniversary celebration was perfect! You could feel the love in the room and everyone was so excited to finally be able to celebrate the marriage. The best part was that they played their wedding ceremony at the anniversary celebration; it was the perfect touch. When the sun was setting we all went out on the golf course and captured some beautiful sunset moments, as well as a really great drone shot of the couples…make sure you check it out!
Enjoy Elena and Wes's anniversary celebration film!
There was a wonderful group of vendors who helped to make this celebration possible, and we are lucky to have worked with each of them.

WEDDING DAY | BROOKE AND MARCUS | THE SUTHERLAND | APRIL 23RD, 2021
Brooke and Marcus are one of the last couples we will be working with in North Carolina. We loved being in North Carolina and being able to shoot at beautiful locations. The Sutherland did not disappoint as a great wedding venue!
The wedding took place outdoors at The Sutherland on a beautiful spring day. We could not have asked for better weather! Due to the pandemic the guest list had to be reduced, but we were able to include those guests who could not attend by live streaming the wedding on Facebook.
It was important to Brooke to have a first look with her dad; it turned out beautifully! There was not a dry eye as we watched Brooke walk up to her dad in her wedding dress for the first time. It was really special to be able to capture that. We were also able to capture some fun moments with the bridal party, like the confetti shot!
Enjoy Brooke and Marcus's full wedding video!
We would love to recognize all of the vendors who made this day possible!

We are Moving | Columbus, Ohio | February 25th, 2020
We are moving to Columbus, Ohio!
We are finally making the big move to Ohio after living in Durham, North Carolina for about 4 years. Ohio has a special place in our hearts. Mallory grew up in Cincinnati and went to Ohio State for her undergraduate degree in athletic training. Andrew is from Pittsburgh which is just a short 3-hour drive from Columbus. After meeting Mallory, Andrew quickly grew to love Columbus as well.
Many of our friends and family still live in Ohio and Pennsylvania and being close to them is very important to us. We are so excited to be able to reconnect with everyone in the area! We are also looking forward to personal favorites of the area like Skyline Chili and Ohio State football! We will always be loyal Penguins fans, but we are excited to be able to attend more Blue Jackets hockey games! The Columbus Crew is a fan favorite in our family, so being able to get to some soccer games is first on our to do list. Can you tell we love sports?!
Don’t worry North Carolina couples, nothing will change with your weddings if you have already booked with us. We are very excited to continue to work with all of you and it gives us the perfect excuse to come back and visit North Carolina! We are also still taking referrals from couples and vendors who we have worked with in the past. But, we are open to booking in Ohio. You can find us listed on The Knot under Columbus, Ohio wedding videographers.
We are open for bookings in Ohio! We are listed on The Knot under Columbus, Ohio wedding videographers. We look forward to meeting new vendors and couples in the Ohio area!
WEDDING DAY | AMY AND RUSSELL | CITY CLUB RALEIGH | JANUARY 25TH, 2020
Our first wedding of 2020 is in the books!
Amy and Russell were married on the most beautiful January Saturday; we truly could not have asked for better weather. With the sun shinning the Capital was the perfect backdrop for their first look! Amy and Russell intimate wedding party also joined us at the Capital watching the first look for afar.
The wedding ceremony took place at the First Presbyterian Church just across the street from the Capital. The ceremony was so sweet with Amy’s dad not only walking her down the aisle but also acting as one of the pastors during the ceremony. Russell’s dad is also a pastor, so they were able to perform the ceremony together!
The City Club Raleigh was one of the most beautiful reception venues we have been able to shoot in. The views of the city were breathtaking and at night with the city lights in the background it was magical.
This wedding was full of classic details, from Amy’s beautifully simple dress to Russell’s classic black tux. The reception was filled with flickering candles surrounded by white and green florals. The party moved from the reception area to the dancefloor, where guests danced to a live band. Late into the night guests were surprised with milk and cookies right before they sent the bride and groom off through a tunnel of sparklers!
Enjoy a sneak peek of Amy and Russell’s wedding day!
We worked with a wonderful group of vendors who made this day possible!
