Lauren and Brady's wedding was one for the books! So many heartfelt toasts were given at their rehearsal dinner that it was hard to choose which to include in the Feature film! Don't miss their grandfather's wise marriage advice toward the end.

Cheers and !

Here is what the groom had to say about working with us: "If you are looking to capture the most important day of your life, look no further... Philip is professional, hard working, and easy to work with. He made the most incredible video of the day my wife and I were married. I can't thank him enough for beautifully encapsulating memories of a day that we can visit over and over again."

On the fence about hiring a wedding videographer? "Video captures sounds that your photos can't" is just one of the 5 reasons The Knot gives for why videography is a must!

For the moments photos can't capture (like your father's speech or your first dance), you're probably going to want to hire someone to get it all on film.

Happy one year anniversary to these two!

With these huge smiles you wouldn't know Hurricane Florence destroyed their venue the weekend before the wedding. Claire and Patrick couldn't wait to get married so their friends and family pitched in to move everything to a new location and keep their date. Thankfully Hannah and I were evacuated nearby and were able to capture this beautiful day with a perfect Golden Hour and the most genuine couple!
