Scott + Hillary Wedding Video
As my first professional video, I am so glad this couple and their families trusted me with their incredibly special day!
Below is not only the first wedding video I've shot and edited, but also the first time I've offered my video services professionally. That being said I am so glad the couple and their families trusted me with this incredibly special day. I heard there may have been more than a few tears shed as their memories played back before them. That is what makes the work I do worth it. Bringing joy to people is what this is all about and I am so grateful to have that opportunity no matter the project.
While I absolutely love photographing puppies and kittens, sometimes it's fun to do different projects like this! Videography is is a whole different animal and really stretched my creative muscle... and my arm muscles. While there are definitely ways I feel like my video skills can improve, I'm proud of this first video and am glad to show it off!
So without further ado, enjoy:

Pt. 1 — Our Story
John & Jenna
Once upon a time the bride and groom started dating on September 22, 2013 after meeting at their apartment complex two weeks prior on September 6. It was a regular night at the pool, 9 p.m., each with their own group when some mutual acquaintances came to talk to the girls. John walked over to join and really didn't talk at all after introducing himself — Jenna had made him speechless I guess. After politely declining invitations to Texas A&M's Midnight Yell and teaching the guys how to dance, still in the pool at this point, the girls decided to meet the guys at Hurricane Harry's for some good ol' country western dancing. With Stoney LaRue performing in the background, this is where the two really fell for each other, but that's not the end of the story. Jenna drove the whole group back and participated in a race down Texas Avenue, windows down and everything. John was the only one who thought this was cool and you could say the rest is history.
The proposal happened on July 13, 2016 on top of Snow King Mountain in Jackson Hole, Wyoming (pictured above). After Jenna rode the resort roller coster, John finally convinced her to ride the chair-lift to the top of the mountain to "explore." On the ride up John blamed his nervousness on dangling so high off the ground — Jenna bought it and remained oblivious. When they got to the top, they took some photos for much longer than John was hoping for then started walking down a dirt path to a "flat spot" that John liked. This is where he started getting sappy and also where Jenna was still oblivious. He recited a poem he wrote and got down on his knee and Jenna was STILL oblivious. He pulled out the ring box and Jenna thought "is he pranking me? That box looks like the Aggie Ring box." Spoiler, it was not the Aggie Ring box and it also had the most perfect diamond ring inside. John asked "will you marry me?" to which Jenna replied "No... no way! Seriously? Are you joking?" Eventually she said yes and now the two will live happily ever after.
