Brown Mountain Beach Resort - Suzanne + Adam Wedding Sneak Peak- First Look

What a stunning venue and such an amazing day! The sun was shining for Suzanne and Adam’s first look, and even though ominous dark grey clouds were rolling in, everything held off and the ceremony was able to be held on the beach side with the river and mountains in the background. Good weather luck!

All these amazing vendors put in their creative love into this special day and it showed in every corner of this venue. Many joyous wishes to you both, Suzanne and Adam! Keep on loving each other and making each other laugh through your many happy years together.

Roan Mountain Wedding- Annamarie + Jeff

This had to be one of the most beautiful days ever! Roan Mountain is always pretty but today it was majestic. When Annamarie and Jeff told me they were going to do their wedding up there I was thrilled. After a hike up that was a little longer then 5 minutes (ha ha, you had to be there to get it) we reached the top of the bald and found the perfect spot. Jeff and Annamarie, like so many other couples this year, postponed their big wedding plans until next year, but didn’t want to postpone being married. So here we gathered, at the top of the mountain surrounded by trees, sky, and views of blue mountains in the distance.

It was a beautiful moment when Annamarie crested the hill and came into view, arm and arm with her parents, making her way to her husband to be, Jeff. They held hands, and the anticipation and love shining between them was palpable. Along with my two stationary cameras, Jeff had a Facebook live going to connect people who couldn’t make it to the ceremony but still wanted to be present. SO amazing! If you were one of those people watching please leave a comment and share your experience. I would love to hear what it was like to experience being on the mountain with us from wherever you were around the US. They read their own vows to each other, which is always such a beautiful and meaningful touch to a ceremony, and then at last they were united together forever. “This is the marriage of equals”

We all made our way down the mountain, snapping pics and shooting video along the way. And it only got a little chilly at the end. Most beautiful day ever! I am so honored that you both would choose me as your videographer to be a part of this incredible day. I hope these memories will instantly transport you back to the top of this mountain, holding each other, and feeling that elated sense of unity and love. I wish you decades of joyous moments together, loving compassion for each other, and prosperity in whatever you set your hearts to.

Gabi + Trey at Long Leaf Vinyard- Wedding Sneak Peak

This was one of the most picturesque weddings of the season! Not only are Gabi and Trey a beautiful and sweet couple, but it seemed that every element of the day came together in a magical way. The weather, although on the hot side, was perfect. Blue sky with white puffy clouds met with green, hillside vineyards to create a stunning view behind the ceremony site. And there were dark clouds peaking up in the distance causing a light sprinkled for about 2 minutes, and then it was clear the rest of the day. Flowers by Blue Ridge Blooms along with NINE beautiful bridesmaids added pops of blush and pink everywhere. Add in a classic and chic reception tent with chandeliers, a rockin’ band, and happy smiling friends and family, and you get an AMAZING wedding day!

I’m so grateful to have been a part of this day! Thank you Gabi and Trey for choosing me to be your videographer. I can’t wait to get it all done for you to enjoy. For now, here’s a little sneak peak to bring back the joyful memories of the day.

Rebecca + Connor - St. John in the Wilderness & Black Tie Afterparty

I would have to say that no two wedding videos are ever the same. There’s no cookie cutter recipe that I use, and from beginning to end it totally depends on the couple and the events that unfold. Nothing could be more true than this one! It was a perfect duo of sentiment and classic beauty mixed with uninhibited joy and fun. So how to tackle the video and make ONE highlight? I decided it simply had to be….both!

They had a beautiful ceremony planned at St. John in the Wilderness, with an impressive bridal party: 10 on the bride side and 13 on the grooms. Each bridesmaid held a gorgeous bouquet of flowers. These flowers were everywhere, bathing the ceremony and reception in beauty and color. Every pew was packed full of elegant wedding guests, laughing and crying along with the ceremony.

Then followed by the reception at Rebecca’s parent’s home in Flat Rock, NC. She had given me a tour of the reception site (her ) many months before her wedding date. She pointed where the white tents were gonna be set up, and described a “ladder dance” of which I had never heard before. How can there be so many people on the dance floor you would need a ladder? Post reception….it became clear. This was a rockin’ party with everyone busting a groove on the dance floor and not stopping until late into the night. Rebecca and her Dad started it off with “Who’s That Lady?”, with Connor and Mom jiving to “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)”. Not to be outdone, Rebecca and Connor’s first dance was to “Give It To Me Baby” by Rick James. The AMAZING live band, The Black and Blue Effect, was one of the most talented and spectacular bands I’ve seen at a wedding in my career. The singers, the musicians, the amount of songs they knew, their energy! and an OUTFIT CHANGE halfway through the performance! Never seen that before! Rebecca had requested NO slow songs for the reception, and they kept up the pace keeping everyone partying along with them.

So here is my highlight video for this amazing couple. Thank you for choosing me to be your wedding videographer! Rebecca wrote me after her full wedding video and said, “We quite literally laughed and cried our way through it.” That’s the greatest compliment I could ever receive. May you laugh and cry (tears of joy of course) for many more years to come. And I hope you eel the love, joy and happiness of these moments every time you watch your videos. Many happy wishes to you both!

Sarah + Joey in a Misty Mountaintop Wedding at The Cabin Ridge in Hendersonville, NC

Sarah and Joseph got married at an amazing hilltop wedding venue, The Cabin Ridge, on a foggy and chilly day in October. This is my second time at this venue and it’s amazing every time. It was beautifully, magical how the mist covered the landscape and hung around like a giddy wedding guest.

The ceremony took place inside, in front of a warm and cozy fireplace decorated with flowers and lights. The bride and groom were the warmest in the room for sure, from standing right in front of the fire, and I think by their undying love for each other. Exchanging of letters and personalize wedding vows made the ceremony feel special and touched the hearts of everyone attending. After family photos, where everyone DID brave the cold and wind for one large group photo outside, it was dinner and speeches. The bride and groom greeted each table, which I always think is so wonderful, and then first dances began.

Sarah and Joey started at opposite sides of the venue, and met in the middle for a super sweet choreographed dance. Not to be outdone, the love that beamed during the Father/Daughter dance brought a tear to my eye for sure. It always gets me. I think of my dance at my wedding more than 11 years ago now. Gosh I JUST LOVE WEDDINGS!

The sparkler exit was particularly magical with all the mist and fog accumulating in the night air. This amazing couple took their first steps towards a new life of love, commitment and devotion to each other.

Thank you to Sarah and Joey for choosing me to be your wedding videographer! And for choosing me and Myriah to do both photo and video for your special day! May you smile and laugh for many years to come watching your memories unfold again and again.

Hunter + Luke - Cabin Ridge Mountain Top Wedding

This is one of the many weddings where I paired up with my partner and friend, Myriah Wood, to shoot together as Falcon and Wolf Weddings. We team up so we can offer photo AND video packages together, and Hunter and Luke are proof that our couples out there are enjoying the benefits of this partnership. I was so happy when Hunter wanted to add a Wedding Video to her day as well as a Ceremony Video, so we had full all wedding day amazingness covered!

Here’s a little wedding day teaser video for this amazing September couple, Hunter and Luke. Their wedding, a top a beautiful mountain at The Cabin Ridge Wedding Venue was full of fun and joy despite the hurricane looming just around the corner! They handled it like a seasoned wedding couple…together and with a smile. Then after some amazing BBQ (Alle, Heather and Shelbi rocked it out!), tear-jerkingly touching dances, a cake shmoosh, and some fun games put on my DJ Seven One, there was a grande (someone sprinkly although you’d never know it) Sparkler Exit! So much fun.

Congratulations and may you always weather the storms of life together, and preferably cuddling by a warm fire :)

Paint Brush Bouquet and Sawdust Sprinkles - Jill + Colvin's Wedding Day

I’m sharing this video exactly a year after Jill and Colvin’s wedding day as a reminder of the happy memories, love and laughter that were shared on this amazingly special day.

Jill and Colvin are two people who are just crazy about each other. And that’s what they’re day was about. Everyone was pulled in, as they were, to be there and show their support. When the flower girl wanted to wear a leopard costume, Jill said, “Why Not?” And that was pretty much indicative of the day. Everything fit because it came from love. It was magical and beautiful.

I did a full wedding video for Jill, but this was a little teaser video add on to show most of the getting ready fun the girls had together, as well as ending with some of the ceremony magic. I enjoy working with couples to tailor fit wedding videos to what works for them. They’re usually always different in some way, and that’s part of what I love about it.
