An “Impromptu” Courthouse Wedding – Kara & Shaun

Wilmington, NC

An impromptu film by Life Stage Films. 
Kara, our studio manager at LSF, said she needed a little longer of a lunch break to….go get married at the courthouse. I said wow, sure, congrats, etc. 

Little did she know I’d show up with some of the local wedding vendors last minute and give her the courthouse wedding film she deserved. :) 

We have fun at our job and couldn’t help putting this little simple clip together. Congrats Kara & Shaun!

And let it be known, that the whole idea was KEVIN MILLARD’s! He has also posted some very cool pictures of the event on his blog, so please go check out his awesome work. Kevin is one of the best in Wilmington, and we always make a great team and have perfect synergy for our couples. Here is a teaser below, but check out the rest of his pictures HERE.

Art & Chelsea – Wedding Highlights at Bald Head Island

Bald Head Island, NC

I dare you to try to find another groom more excited to start the rest of his life with his bride! Art’s vows and heartfelt toast, still resonate with us. Genuine weddings, and great parties like this one, make for great wedding films. Just watch how they interact and speak with each other in the film, and you will see that they were meant for each other. And it’s refreshing to witness weddings like this, because you know, that when life gets hard, they will stick it out, and remember the promise they made this day on Bald Head Island. Thanks so much Art and Chelsea, as well as your families, for inviting Amy to film these precious moments for you guys! Enjoy!

Jenn & Steve – Wedding Highlights

Wilmington, NC

Classy venue/decor + excited bride and groom = great wedding day! That’s how Melissa and Amy felt after filming this wedding. We included a lot of the sounds of Jenn & Steve’s wedding day because it really does paint the perfect picture of just how excited these two were to get married. I love the shots Melissa got of Jenn with all of her girls surrounding her as she put on the dress. Such an exciting time, and its inspiring to see friends and family getting just as pumped for the bride. I love how everyone is so care free and happy during the events leading up to the wedding. As they should be. You could tell that the only thing that mattered to Jenn and Steve that day was their public covenant to each other in front of everyone….that and the party afterward and their honeymoon to Bora Bora, as you’ll hear Jenn & Steve get so thrilled about just seconds after the walk down the isle. :)

Bellamy Mansion always serves as an amazing backdrop for a classic southern wedding, and it was so neat to see these two introduced as husband and wife in that setting with the sun going down behind them. I also want to give credit where credit is due to Steve for nailing that choreographed first dance! He didn’t miss a beat! We hope you guys enjoy this touching recap of your day. Even though we were stuck up in the balcony during the ceremony, your video illustrates just how much your excitement to be married  permeated throughout the entire congregation of your friends and family. Enjoy!
