Christine and Kyle’s wedding was the perfect blend of emotion and fun.  The day began with a sentimental ceremony at  St. John Vianney Catholic Church.  The anticipation was building for both of them, as Christine’s ride in the limo to the church was very emotional.  When Kyle saw her for the first time his eyes welled up with tears.  The ceremony was full of joy as the two of them said their vows in front of all their family and friends.

Once the ceremony was over it was time to PARTY!  The reception was held at the beautiful Sirata Beach Resort on St Pete Beach.  Guests enjoyed the cocktail hour outside while they watched the most perfect sunset I have ever seen.  Kyle and Christine took a moment by themselves down by the water to enjoy the scenery.  Then it was time to head upstairs to the reception room for a night of dancing and partying!  There was not a single person in the room who was not on the dance floor and everyone had a wonderful time celebrating the evening with the newlyweds.

After watching their Film Christine sent me this wonderful email:

“Kyle and I received our video yesterday and it is AMAZING!!!!!  We watched it and loved it so much we immediately watched it again!  You guys captured so many amazing moments, details and emotions of our wedding day.  I relived every emotion I felt on our wedding day as I watched our film.  We cannot thank you guys enough for the work you did before, on and after our wedding day- the work is truly amazing… We will enjoy this video for many, many more years to come.  THANK YOU!!!”

Enjoy all the laughter and tears in their Full Length Feature Film:

We have been keeping Jeff and Arlyn’s Love Story Film a secret until their wedding reception, but I am happy to say that we can finally share it!  Jeff and Arlyn have a really great story.  They met in high school, and their love story has unfolded over 10 years of being best friends, dating, and finally on April 27, 2013 becoming husband and wife.

We shared this Love Story Film with all of their guests at their reception and it was a huge hit, especially the part where they explain their awkward engagement night!  You have to check it out… here is the Love Story of Arlyn and Jeff:

For Emily and Hayden’s wedding we traveled to Destin, FL. Destin is a beautiful area with amazing beaches so we were really excited to capture their day in this picturesque setting.  This was a very emotional day for the couple, as they have been friends since they were 12 years old!  Their love story is truly amazing, and you could see in their eyes how excited they were and how much this day meant to them.

Since their Beach wedding in Destin was a destination wedding for them, we created this video so they could share their wedding day with all of their guests at a reception they held back in their hometown in Minnesota.

Emily and Hayden had this to say after watching and sharing their video with all of their friends and family:
“We are bawling over here!!! Seriously you did SUCH A GREAT JOB!!!! WE LOVE IT!!! Everyone raved last night at our reception…”

Now that the video has been shared with their friends, we get to share it with you!  Enjoy this beautiful and emotional beach wedding (and be on the lookout for their full length Feature Film coming soon!)

Lauren and Alec’s wedding was the perfect mix of fun, beautiful details, and romance.  This light hearted couple decided to do something unique and have their wedding at The Florida Aquarium.  This venue was so much fun to shoot in!  The couple chose a nautical theme for their wedding, which was a perfect compliment to The Florida Aquarium, and also mixed in some bright colorful details.

They exchanged their vows in front of the large shark tank, and the colors and the sea life made a beautiful backdrop for their ceremony.  They even had a special guest walk down the aisle right before Lauren came out (but you have to watch the video to find out what it was!

After the ceremony, the evening continued downstairs with dinner and then everyone went back to the “shark tank room” to party the night away. After watching their film Lauren and Alec had this to say:

“WE LOVE IT!… The video is perfect.  It was great to work with you guys and we’ll be referring you to anyone we can!”

Check out their film below, and let us know what you think!

Marimar and Juan were our last wedding of 2012, and it was a great way to end the year!  Marimar and Juan had such a great energy about them.  They were filled with sheer joy and excitement over getting married!  One of my favorite parts of the day is that they wrote their own vows and incorporated their favorite movie quotes and scripture into them.  It was a really cute and meaningful touch!  The reception room was extremely elegant with sparkling jewels, gorgeous flowers, and punches of purple to set a romantic mood.  Check out just a little sneak peek of their day in their Coming Soon Trailer:

Renee and Brandon are one of the sweetest couples we have ever worked with.  Aside from that, Renee is super talented when it comes to custom designs and baking.  As the owner of  Bees Knees Creative, a company specializing in custom invitations, desserts, and more, you could expect that the details of her wedding were nothing less than fabulous!  Renee designed and hand made so many details for her wedding, even home baked treats for her guests.  The details were phenomenal and were so much fun to look at and shoot.

Her beautiful wedding is being featured today on Wedding Chicks.  Rachael Nicole Photography did an amazing job capturing all the little details that made her day so special, and scroll down to the bottom of the page to check out their coming soon trailer produced by In Motion!

We capture hundreds of hours of video every year, and are often asked about some of the unique things we get to see.  One of the most fun parts about our job is that we never know what is going to happen next, and in 2012 we definitely captured some great moments!  The wonderful part about our job is that we get to work with real people, not actors, and people are unpredictable.  You never know what they are going to say, what they are going to do, or if your new spouse is going to smash cake in your face

Thank you to all of the amazing couples we had a chance to work with in 2012!  You made our year so enjoyable and it was a pleasure to be a part of some of the most special moments of your life.

We wanted to share some of these moments with everyone, so we put together our Best of 2012 video.  If you want a good laugh, you HAVE to check it out!  Happy New Year!

Irma and Brian’s wedding day was not only a celebration of their love, but also a farewell from their family and friends as they prepared to move across to world to Dubai!  Yes, that’s right, these are some adventurous Newlyweds!  Their day started with some beautiful moments, as Irma and Brian had their first look in Vinoy Park, and then exchanged the emotional vows they had written for each other.  After these sweet moments, the night turned into one huge fiesta!  Irma and Brian wanted to incorporate some of their Mexican heritage into their wedding day, so they had Patron Tequila favors for all of their guests, and hired a Mariachi Band to play.  The groomsmen also got to have their fun by picking out crazy socks to wear for the evening.  We love it when our couples break out of the typical wedding traditions, and Irma and Brian’s day was anything but ordinary!  Check out a sneak peek of their day in their Coming Soon Trailer:

Jill and Robert’s wedding can be summed up in one word… FUN!  This couple’s Mad Hatter themed wedding was the perfect combination of romantic, colorful, and unique.  And of course no Mad Tea Party would be complete without the Mad Hatter himself crashing the party and sharing a dance with the bride.  Check out all this and more in their Coming Soon Trailer:

We are very excited to share this new film with you.  Earlier in the year we were contacted by Bethany and Scott, who were planning their destination wedding in the Bahamas.  They were so excited to have their dream wedding in May 2012, and a dream it was!  Everything about the day was incredible…  from the weather, to the scenery, to the food, and especially the love between Bethany and Scott.  The whole weekend was a wonderful celebration of their relationship, and we were so happy to be a part of it.

After watching their film Bethany and Scott emailed us to say:

“ We received the wedding video…  Oh my goodness !!!!  I truly felt present at my wedding again!  We cried the whole way through! Laughed so much and totally loved reliving it!!  You capture every amazing moment!!!  I don’t know how to thank you enough…  We are so pleased.  Can’t thank you enough!!!!!!!!!!!”

Here is their Feature Film.  Check it out, but grab your tissues… you are going to need them when they read their personalized vows to each other!
