Chelsea & Andrew | Downtown Chicago & Botanic Gardens wedding video

We went into Chelsea and Andrew’s wedding weekend in Chicago knowing it would be perfection. We shot Chelsea’s sister Carly’s wedding a couple of years earlier, so we’d already fallen in love with their family. Chelsea and Andrew’s wedding took us into the heart of Chicago for their rehearsal dinner and the start of their wedding day, and out to the beautiful Chicago Botanic Gardens for their ceremony anbd reception. It may have been a hot summer day, but nothing could take away from the love these two share, and the amazing time everyone had celebrating them.

Andy & May | Oklahoma City wedding videographers

“I believe we will love each other forever.”

Andy and May (Xiaowu and Xingyuan) are so incredibly sweet, and their daughter Choko is just the cutest! We knew going into their wedding day that it would be a bit different for us since most of it would be in Chinese. We could tell when there was a special moment– something funny or something emotional– and it was exciting for us to get the translation back and find out what was said in those moments. They chose to do their ceremony at OUHSC where they met and fell in love, and their first look at the campus dorms on a path they had walked together many times. Andy and May were actually married three years ago at the courthouse, but their families still wanted to celebrate them with a wedding and reception, and you could tell what a special day it was for them all.

Allison + Kevin | Norman wedding film ~Oklahoma wedding videographers~

Alli told us when we met that she and Kevin wanted a fun, high-energy wedding weekend and it did not disappoint. From hilarious stories to singalongs to surprise puppies (let me say that again… SURPRISE PUPPIES!!) we were smiling all day long. But amidst all of the fun, there were still some very tender moments like when Alli played a message Kevin had recorded for her that left us all in tears. We hope you love their fabulous wedding as much as we did.

Sunia + Ali | Oklahoma City wedding film ~Oklahoma wedding videographers~

It was a running joke on Sunia and Ali’s wedding day that she was so excited to finally see him wearing something other than scrubs. You see, Sunia is a nurse and Ali is a neurosurgeon. But despite her excitement over the wedding attire, months earlier during a “story session” shoot they donned their scrubs proudly because it reminded them of a very special day… a spur of the minute date that turned into the time Ali knew he wanted to marry Sunia, and the kind of special moment she says she never really knew existed. That story, plus their personal vows, definitely gave us all the feels on this gorgeous wedding day.

Colby + Philip | Texas and London wedding film ~destination wedding videographers~

More than anything, Colby and Philip wanted to celebrate their wedding with the friends and family they hold dear. But since she is from Texas and he is from Europe, it wasn’t going to be easy to get everyone in the same place… so, they had two weddings! First they had an intimate, relaxed ceremony on family land in Texas hill country… then the next weekend it was off to a beautiful celebration in London which is where they first met. We love their sweet story, their laid back personalities, and the fact that at the heart of both events it was all about celebrating and honoring the people they love most.
