The moment you see your partner walking toward you down the aisle—it’s almost impossible not to get emotional. Everything else fades. It’s just the two of you, locking eyes, knowing this is the start of forever. All the memories, all the love, all the promises… it hits you at once. And suddenly, you feel the weight of just how lucky you are.

Who doesn't just love a sparkler sendoff!?

If you plan to do this at your wedding here are a few tips.

1. Check with the venue first and make sure they are ok with it.
2. Don't plan the sendoff for the very end of the night. Fire and Alcohol are not a good combination 🍻🔥❌.
3. Purchase the long sparklers so people can hold them high and far enough away from each other, this will help create that full frame look.
4. Ask yourself if you trust those holding the sparklers enough 😂🤔.
5. To get the best effect make sure to plan it after it will be dark or at least dusk if it doesn't work to go later on your timeline.

The way Jessica's Dad looked at his daughter just before she was married, gets me everytime 😢 You can see how proud he is of her, and excited for her in this moment, with a bit of disbelief that his little girl is getting married.

As Thanksgiving Eve starts to roll in, we have started thinking about what we are Thankful for.

First and foremost I think the trust our couples put in us to film their weddings and all the memorable moments we get to capture and experience along side of them. By the end of the day we feel more like close friends.

Being able to capture such a unique love stories and tell them via our Wedding Films with our specific cinematic style. It's funny if you told me 10 years ago that I would be filming weddings, I would have been perplexed. It truly is amazing how some things in life just kind of happen. I am so happy I took the jump when I first felt that overwhelming desire to do this work, even though it was something I had never thought of doing in the past. Sometimes the things you don't plan for end up being the best moments of your life.

I hope everyone is able to surround yourself with all those you love tomorrow and reflect on all your greatest hits over the past year. There is nothing like a night of telling stories, laughing, and reliving memories with those closest to you ❤️

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

Kaitlyn + Kevin had the perfect August day for their wedding 🙌

Kaitlyn wore a dress by that she found at in Pittsburgh. Her bouquet was created by Ellen Mathis Floral Designs. Her hair by Ana Grisi and makeup by Gemilah Omar & Asia Sallam ( & )

When Kevin first saw Kaitlyn walking toward him at the end of the aisle I think his reaction said it all...

Yesterday was nine years in the making. From high school, through college, new jobs, owning a home, and now husband and wife.

It was a perfect day, from the beautiful weather to their emotional vows, to the epic party that went late into the night.

Congratulations Kaitlyn + Kevin
