Gaillardia Wedding Day Edit | Sam + Jordan

As Sam and Jordan return home from honeymooning on sandy beaches with stunning sunsets, we thought it was time to share their Gaillardia Wedding Day Edit that left their guests in awe at their fabulous reception.

Sam-Jordan-Gaillardia-Wedding-Day-Edit

Sam & Jordan’s Gaillardia wedding was simply one we won’t forget. The Wedding Belle truly knocked this one out of the park. OKC had an abundance of rain the week of their wedding. It was questionable as to whether the Gaillardia Lawn would be one large puddle of water for their outdoor ceremony. But, with a lot of help from a Norman grounds crew and some water evacuating equipment, the ceremony was on their lush green lawn. And no girls lost their shoes going down the aisle. Whew!

A Wedding Day Edit Experience

Sometimes we just get so in the routine of pulling off these wedding day edits, we forget they are such a “WOW” moment for the Bride and Groom and all their wedding guests.

As we were departing Gaillardia following the wedding, a couple waiting for their Uber ride, shared with us they had been to twelve to fifteen weddings over the past two years and had never seen a Wedding Day Edit shown at a reception. The wife began to share with us, her husband has a GoPro and does a little video editing, so he truly had an understanding of what it took to produce the Wedding Day Edit just shown and was just floored we could pull that off so fast.

We love producing them just as much as everyone loves watching them at the reception. Wedding Day Edits are just a “WOW” you have to experience to appreciate.

Just a few things worth noting.

Their love and respect for their families…

Moments come and go, but beautiful moments remain with us for a lifetime. Wedding days are filled with beautiful moments. Moments shared with whom a couple holds most dear. We love capturing these special memories and our clients love reliving them again and again. April & Shehan’s wedding day was filled with laughter, fun, excitement, beauty and most importantly love. Love of life shared with family and friends.

We thought we would share a few images from some special moments we captured that pulled on our heartstrings. April shared a private moment with her parents on her wedding day after she had slipped into her wedding gown. Their reactions to seeing April in her gown left them all smiles to begin celebrating her wedding day.

April was so happy to be marrying the love of her life. Shehan was so nervous but also thrilled to have April at his side. They exchanged notes and the Groom presented his Bride with her Bridal bouquet with a sightless first touch. Tears were flowing freely for this beautiful moment and April’s expression when she first saw her bouquet was priceless.

There is something special about parent dances on a wedding day. It is a time set aside to honor your parents and also show them appreciation for all they have sown into your life. These images of April with her Father and Shehan with his Mother are reminder of the love shared with a Father and his daughter and a Mother and her son.

April & Shehan, may you make many more beautiful memories as Mr. & Mrs. and look back one day when you are maybe old and gray with a fondness in your heart of the beautiful moments you made on your wedding day and how you shared it with the ones you love and hold so dear. ~with a few tears, Mark + Trisha

Wedding Video Invitation | Matt + Anna

Well, our son is tying the knot and we couldn’t be happier as we are gaining a wonderful daughter, Anna. We were excited when Anna said she was up for a wedding video invitation to invite guests to their wedding. Their guests have been a bit surprised receiving a DVD in their mailboxes rather than a traditional wedding invitation. We had a good time putting this one together as Matthew is quite the ham for the camera. We might be missing a few of his motor vehicles he regularly rides but not many. Click play to take a peek at their wedding “video” invitation.


We can now say, we have been the Bride, the Groom, Parents of the Bride and now Parents of the Groom! We can truly relate to our clients and all that goes into the wedding planning experience. It will be two married and one to go for our family! Mark jokingly told Megan we are on a three year plan and not to make any marriage plans until 2016. We will let you know how that goes.

Adoption Story | David + Naomi

Adopting babies is such a beautiful experience, one we had the opportunity to share with one of our former Bride & Groom. We filmed their wedding a little over five years ago. So, when they made the decision to adopt, they gave us a call saying they wanted us to document their adoption story just like we did their wedding day.

Adopting-Twins

This was probably one of the most emotional events we have ever captured. One that so touched our hearts very deeply. Ben & Kaila, the adoptive parents stressed the importance of portraying the twins Birth Mother as a hero, who chose to give her children life with an adoptive family. We saw the love of this Birth Mother for her children and the difficult road she walked to give them life and a precious adoptive family.

Adopting-babies

We had a few false alarms as Ben & Kaila were adopting twins and the Birth Mother would deliver about two and a half hours away from both us & the adoptive parents. We were all on call to make a quick trip to the hospital the last month of her pregnancy. It’s a little after 12:00am and we get the call, saying the Birth Mother’s water had broken and it was a race to make it for the birth for all of us. Well, we made it just in the nick of time and we got to be right there in the midst of it all. Click play to share in this very special adoption story of David & Naomi.


This adoption was lovingly facilitated by Circle of Love a ministry helping pregnant women throughout their pregnancy and beyond. They offer support and love to all who share in this circle of love.
