The Most Beautiful Sound I've Ever Heard....

(Right after the exit, Matt & Nicole spend their first moments as
Husband and wife singing to each other! A real-life theatre musical
moment-- ahhhmazing.)

Hear That?

Wedding Bells!

This weekend I had the pleasure of filming the wedding of two close friends from my church- Matt & Nicole. I first met them when they showed up at a weekly prayer meeting one Thursday night 3 years ago and after meeting the sweet, fresh, witty couple I knew that there was something special about them.

Fast forward to a few years later where, Nicole had grown from a brand new christian to a young woman of Godly character and maturity well beyond her 21 years. This past year she even started co-leading one of the women's small groups for me and so, pours into her peers as much as soaks in the wisdom of others.

Matt is just as special, just as fun, and such a significant part of the church that Shoreline would not be what it is today had he and Nicole decided to skip that fateful first prayer meeting.

I say all of this because as a friend, being a witness to their vows was incredibly special. As a videographer, it was such a treat to film and be able to preserve it for them forever. Everything from beginning to end was laid back, full of dance moves, smiles, tears of Joy, and a celebration of the true meaning of what a marriage date should be. It was all of this and more.

All of this with a stripped down ceremony (prayer, scripture,vows, rings, kiss, exit) and it was the best one I've captured all summer. I am sure I am biased on so many levels, but that's okay- the rest of their guests were too.

I have over 6 hours of footage from that day, but here are some stills from that footage that will give you a true preview of the "feel" of their final film--

True Joy, and a marriage made in Heaven.

Congratulations Matt & Nicole!
