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!

Click play to have a peek at this sweet couple having a whole lot of fun while making some beautiful memories on their wedding day.

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…

Wedding Dreams Do Come True| Kimberly + Kyle

Wedding dreams do come true in many ways. Click play to share in Kimberly and Kyle’s romantic Gaillardia wedding, flawlessly orchestrated by Bea Penhall from About Last Night Event Planning.

ShoemakerWDEVon

A girl dreams of getting married, having a family and living happily ever after. Kimberly had all those dreams. It was just a matter of finding the man to share those life experiences. Kimberly might say it took a bit longer than she would have planned, but she would also say, Kyle was well worth the wait. She might call him her knight and shining armor or the guy who stole her heart. Either one fits him to a tee. One thing is for sure their wedding was a dream come true.

Kimberly’s love language is gift giving. She gave Kyle heartfelt cuff links as a wedding gift (above). For their first touch prior to the ceremony, (above) they exchanged notes and wedding gifts. Kevin Paul suggested the Groom kiss the Bride’s hand before departing. Kevin is a master at photography and always a pleasure to work with on weddings. Kimberly’s Bridal bouquet (above) from New Leaf Florist was just beautiful. New Leaf has such a way with flowers (below), not only are they beautiful, but they always have a way of making the room smell amazing.

Love is in the air for Taylor and Jackson’s lovely summer evening at the McGranahan Barn as they said, “I do!” Click play to view their Wedding Day Edit, everyone enjoyed viewing at their reception.

WilkinsWDEVon-1

The McGranahan Barn was the perfect setting for Taylor and Jackson’s vintage inspired wedding day. Jackson is a country boy at heart who found himself a beautiful girl who loves to do life with him. They both come from great families. There was a lot of love and anticipation in the air as Taylor and Jackson got ready on their wedding day. They choose to keep that first glimpse of one another for the walk down the aisle. Taylor looked amazing as she graced the aisle on her Father’s arm as Jackson ever so patiently waited to see his Bride. A big smile came across his face as he caught a glimpse of Taylor coming down the aisle.

There is something so special about weddings as two people surrounded themselves with their closest family and friends to commit their lives to one another. We loved this birds eye view of the wedding party during the ceremony at the McGranahan Barn.

Amy Ray Events did a wonderful job of orchestrating every detail of this charming country wedding. We loved the whimsical florals from Birdie Blooms. Taylor and Jackson’s custom cake topper was just about as cute as them feeding one another that first bite of wedding cake. Let’s just say, Jackson got the first bite of cake and might not live that one down for a while.

All About Family | Katie + Nick

There are so many things I could share about Katie & Nick’s wedding weekend celebration that was truly all about family. Both of their families, bleed OSU orange in a BIG way! Did we mention everyone, (except us) wore OSU orange for the rehearsal dinner. We didn’t get that memo. At their rehearsal dinner, they shared their story of how they met while at OSU and since we caught it on film, we just had to work it into their Wedding Day Edit. Click play to catch a glimpse of Nick & Katie’s memorable wedding day!

Once Katie got engaged and began to plan her wedding, she had a wedding wish… Yes, she wanted a beautiful wedding gown and it had to be dancing friendly for their surprise first dance. She also wanted a sparkly pair of wedding shoes by Jimmy Choo. And sparkle they did!

Jimmy-Choo-Cinderella-Slipper

But her greatest wedding wish, was that she and Nick’s family could travel from near and far to share in their wedding day. You see only Katie’s parents lived in OKC, everyone else would be traveling to OKC to attend their nuptials. So you might say OKC Destination Wedding. They had shared with us the importance of family and how the marriages of their parents and grandparents were such an inspiration to them. Katie got her wedding wish. Because their beloved family and friends came from near and far to share in their wedding celebration filled with happy tears, a few surprises, and lots of dancing.

Its-all-about-Family-Wedding

Katie & Nick, you are off to a great start and oh, they places you will go. We can’t wait to see. May you two enjoy dancing through life as Mr. & Mrs. as much as you enjoyed your surprise first dance!

Surprise-First-Dance-Katie-Nick

There will be good times and a few bumps along the way but one day may your marriage be the inspiration to your children and grandchildren of what it looks like to be married for a lifetime as all those in your family have done for you. Hugs to you both! ~Mark + Trisha

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.
First-Look-with-parents-on-your-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.

Parent-Dances-Gaillardia-Wedding

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
