Who doesn't just love a sparkler sendoff!?

If you plan to do this at your wedding here are a few tips.

1. Check with the venue first and make sure they are ok with it.
2. Don't plan the sendoff for the very end of the night. Fire and Alcohol are not a good combination 🍻🔥❌.
3. Purchase the long sparklers so people can hold them high and far enough away from each other, this will help create that full frame look.
4. Ask yourself if you trust those holding the sparklers enough 😂🤔.
5. To get the best effect make sure to plan it after it will be dark or at least dusk if it doesn't work to go later on your timeline.

The way Jessica's Dad looked at his daughter just before she was married, gets me everytime 😢 You can see how proud he is of her, and excited for her in this moment, with a bit of disbelief that his little girl is getting married.

As Thanksgiving Eve starts to roll in, we have started thinking about what we are Thankful for.

First and foremost I think the trust our couples put in us to film their weddings and all the memorable moments we get to capture and experience along side of them. By the end of the day we feel more like close friends.

Being able to capture such a unique love stories and tell them via our Wedding Films with our specific cinematic style. It's funny if you told me 10 years ago that I would be filming weddings, I would have been perplexed. It truly is amazing how some things in life just kind of happen. I am so happy I took the jump when I first felt that overwhelming desire to do this work, even though it was something I had never thought of doing in the past. Sometimes the things you don't plan for end up being the best moments of your life.

I hope everyone is able to surround yourself with all those you love tomorrow and reflect on all your greatest hits over the past year. There is nothing like a night of telling stories, laughing, and reliving memories with those closest to you ❤️

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

Kaitlyn + Kevin had the perfect August day for their wedding 🙌

Kaitlyn wore a dress by that she found at in Pittsburgh. Her bouquet was created by Ellen Mathis Floral Designs. Her hair by Ana Grisi and makeup by Gemilah Omar & Asia Sallam ( & )

When Kevin first saw Kaitlyn walking toward him at the end of the aisle I think his reaction said it all...

Yesterday was nine years in the making. From high school, through college, new jobs, owning a home, and now husband and wife.

It was a perfect day, from the beautiful weather to their emotional vows, to the epic party that went late into the night.

Congratulations Kaitlyn + Kevin

They shared a toast at the altar over their favorite IPA by Big Ditch Brewing Company just before they said I Do.

They rocked the countryside with an epic party surrounded by all of their closest friends and family.

But most importantly, the next chapter of their lives has begun and their story has just begun to be written.

Congratulations Jen + Khari

There are so many emotions that are happening as you start getting ready on the morning of your wedding. There is so much going on and it can be very hectic, but there are these moments of realization where it sets in what is about to happen. The realization that you are about to be married to that person that makes everything better, helps you through those difficult times, and just gets you in a different way then anyone else ever will. These are those unique moments that we love to capture.

Why don't we write letters anymore?

There is something so special about receiving a letter from someone you care about. Especially on the day you are about to become partners for life.

This is a special moment we love to capture in a private moment. Often funny stories and jokes are shared and we get a first hand look into how you are as a couple. This is a very beautiful moment ❤️

As the excitement builds and the moment where you get to say I do to the love of your life approaches, it hard to contain the excitement. We love capturing these moments where the happiness just shines out of someone.

In this moment we were on the Rooftop of the and we were about to leave for the church where Ashley would get to meet Alex at the end of the aisle and finally say "I do".
