So, I’ve known Todd a lot longer than Sara. Mainly because he is my brother. :) But Sara, I believe, will fit right in with our family nicely, and we have been privileged to get to know her throughout the last 4 years. Todd and Sara met at Appalachian State University (Go APPS!), but really got to know each other as counselors at Camp Caswell at Oak Island, NC during the summer of 2007.

For their 3 year anniversary, Todd took her back to the pier bench where he asked her to be his girlfriend, but there was a catch. You see, his brother is a videographer :), and Todd came up with the brilliant idea to film the proposal in secret. It was risky, it was fun, and it was emotional. SO honored to have been a part of Todd’s little proposal scheme. (I was hiding behind some bushes and trees, squatting beneath my tripod, 7D and a 70-200mm lens)
Afterwards, I also did an inpromptu interview with both of them at home so that we all as the viewers could get a backstory into their story, and exactly what Todd said on the beach that day. Did Sara say yes?! You’ll just have to watch and see! :)

P.S. He is also pretty creative himself. He has been a drummer all his life, and just recently was with the band Philmont, traveling around with David Crowder band, Michael W. Smith, etc. Now he went back to school and is finishing up an audio/video degree in production. check out his recent radio commercial!

Kim & Andrew – “Love Story” Concept Video

We are up in the Outer Banks of North Carolina this week to shoot an awesome destination beach wedding for Kim & Andrew. Both from New York, they decided the OBX would be the best spot to have a wedding and celebrate with some of their closest friends and family. Kim’s an admitted “blog stalker” of Life Stage and fell in love with our unique “Love Story” videos to show at a rehearsal or reception. We had a blast filming them right before their wedding so they could show the video tonight at their reception. Enjoy this silly and heartfelt story that gives a glimpse into their relationship and be sure to leave some comment love! We’d like to add that we’ve never seen one of our bride’s “chug” a beer that fast! ;)

Alex & Tabitha were the winners of our Anti-Recession E-Session Giveaway. We just wanted to do our part to “stimulate” the wedding world and give something back to an engaged couple and promote the power of video. They randomly found our website, entered the contest, and flew all the way down from Chicago to spend an afternoon with us! That’s so cool! The video is a little quirky, but that’s just fine by me! These two were so fun to be around and get to know. I also let Alex know that I too share his affinity for Disney tunes. I sent them a questionnaire beforehand to get to know them, their interests and their personality traits. We found quite a bit to do in downtown Wilmington. A special thanks to Planet, a cool clothing store that also has tons of gadgets and random gifts. A big thanks to Daughtry’s Old Books on Front St. We also accidentally coincided our e-session with a Mardi Gras parade going through downtown. We joined them in the middle of the street! Leave your comments and let these two know what you think.
