Let's Get Personal

WE DO ... truly personal touches! 


Anytime you can add a unique personal touch to your wedding, go for it! Seek inspiration from other brides' weddings, but be sure to give it twists, turns and twirls of you.  


There's a reason they call it your day.

Silhouette images of the bride and groom? Picture perfect.

Wedding videography? Yes, please! Get the lowdown on moving pictures from local videographer Elizabeth Welch, of Fielding Films (fieldingfilms.blogspot.com). Elizabeth owns the company with her husband, Landon, and below she shares her top three tips for a vivacious vid. 


And check out one of her company's love-ly videos here. Swoon!


1. MEET CUTE
The best part of planning your wedding is your personality and style get to shine! The choice you make in hiring a videographer should be no different. Explore your options and find the right videographer who has a similar style to you. Meet with a few different people and see if your personalities mix well. It is important to work with someone who makes you feel relaxed and completely comfortable.


2. FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH
You and your fiance should decide how much having a videographer means to both of you. Having your wedding filmed gives you the opportunity to relive those memories you and your fiance have made on your special day. A picture tells a thousand words, but a video tells the story. Find a videographer who fits your budget and who is willing to give you exactly what you want! Remember, they cater to you — not the other way around!


3. EASY DOES IT
Relax! Seriously, take a deep breath. The engagement process and wedding day can be overwhelming and stressful at times, but remember to enjoy the process because it will all be gone soon. If you stay relaxed, this will show in your videos and you will be able to remember how happy you and your fiance were on the most important day of your lives. Enjoy the time you get to spend planning your wedding day — a day you have dreamed about your whole life. And smile! This is the fun part. 

Oh, Snap!
