Angela & B.C. – Wedding Highlights

St. Simons Island, GA

Arguably one of our most favorite places to film in the coastal south is Sea Island Resort, off of St. Simons Island, Georgia. Angela, B.C. and their families came down from Boston and NE U.S. and put together a stellar team of wedding vendors. We got to work with some of our favorites, and some of the best in the South. Laura Negri Photography, out of Atlanta, is always a team player and a joy to work with, and Party on the Moon rocked the HOUSE the entire night. Check out the highlights video to see how incredible of a show they put on.

But let’s talk about Angela, B.C. and some context behind their story in this film. What I enjoy most about filming an event like a wedding, is that I get to see things from both perspectives. Angela and B.C. did not see each other before the wedding, but it’s so cool to see how each of them spent their time that morning, and whether or not they were nervous/excited. :) Both of them got each other gifts, as you can see in the film, and both were equally impressed. B.C. was given a watch he had been wanting for a long time, and so it was cool to see him where both watches (his other one meant a lot to him as well). Angela was treated with shiny new earrings, but she was just as excited about reading the card which read “To the future Angela J. Tieste”. Very cool.

Did anyone catch how breathtaking the Cloister Garden at Sea Island was for the ceremony?! And what you may not know, is that Angela and B.C. surprised ALL their guests, even their parents, with a performance by an amazing local gospel choir. The feeling is that garden was surreal. Very unique wedding indeed. Everything, from the heartfelt toasts, to the choreographed  first dance, to the amazing cake and fireworks exit, this wedding was a spectacular event.

Angela and B.C., it was a pleasure to witness your amazing day, and capture what we did. One of our favorites for sure!

Sara & Lawrence – Wedding Highlights

Sea Island, Georgia

Spectacular is an understatement for this wedding. Saying the Sea Island Resort is gorgeous doesn’t do it justice. And I’d say Sara, Lawrence and their beautiful families inspired us to film some amazing moments, and we had an absolute blast all week.

As a destination wedding for Sara & Lawrence, and everyone else from Texas, they did their best to party it up, enjoy Georgia’s coast, and take in all the emotions that come with marrying your best friend and being surrounded by all your loved ones. They didn’t even let the rain slow them down. The rainbow you’ll notice in the highlights film happened right before their ceremony began. How cool is that?!

The wonderful ladies at The Cloister did an amazing job creating a magical setting for the reception, and we were all entertained by Johnny White’s band through the night. I wanted to say a quick note on where I got the inspiration to edit the beginning of the video the way I did. Sara and Lawrence chose to have a “First Look” before the ceremony, and it was very cool to see the anticipation build on Sara’s face. They honestly didn’t know there were photographers/videographers there. They were in their own little world. Well fast forward to the ceremony, and when I hear the pastor’s message on marriage by incorporating the “Velveteen Rabbit”, I immediately go back to Sara and Lawrence’s moment together before the busyness of the day began. The message was clear and you could see in Sara and Lawrence’s eyes that they’ll still look at each other the same way 50 years later, even if they are ragged ‘ol “skinhorses”.

The party was incredibly fun, and their exit with fireworks and sparklers to send them off on a yacht was a perfect ending to the perfect week in Paradise. Enjoy the film, and leave some comments! There’s something in here everyone will enjoy! Thanks so much Sara & Lawrence, for trusting us to capture all the little moments that tell your unique wedding story.
