We like Grey.  And apparently Grey likes us!!  We are so extremely honored to be a part of The Collective over at Grey Likes Weddings.  We discovered Grey Likes Weddings three years ago.  On a whim we submitted Jackie & Jamison’s wedding film and it was featured!  Later we had submitted Jayme & Mitchell’s wedding and we were honored (and totally agreed) with the title “Why a Videographer Should be On Your Must Have List.”  Fast forward to today and we are ecstatic to announce that we are now a member of the Grey Collective!  We love this blog and this collection of wedding professionals.  Grey Likes Weddings is such a wonderful, smart, stylish, chic, and cutting edge place for brides!  Check it out while you are checking out our profile!!

Giddy.  I think the proper word is giddy.  When I saw that Jayme & Mitchell’s Backyard Wedding was published over on Grey Likes Weddings…I was giddy.  And the title was what made me giddy.  “Why a Videographer Should Be On Your Must Have List.” Because I totally believe this, and not just because I love making wedding films.  But because Ian and I did not get a wedding film.  At the time we got married the wedding videography market had nothing that was artistically where we wanted it to be.  There were no “films” yet.  But NOW THERE ARE!  And like Grey said, a lot of couples are moving videography off the “wish list” and onto the “must list.”  My favorite line you ask?  “Scrap the lobster!  We’re going for the videographer!”

Their wedding day could not have been more perfect.  Leslie, Jayme’s mom, worked tirelessly on the effortless design of the event which was held on the front lawns of a private property.  It added a perfect personal touch and that carried on through the entire wedding.  Another personal touch?  Brad, Jayme’s father, married Jayme and Mitchell.  It was so overwhelming to witness what could be considered the ultimate ‘blessing’ that a father could have on his daughter’s marriage.  As for Jayme and Mitchell on the day, they could not have looked more gorgeous.  I’m not kidding.  Just so freakin’ gorgeous.  But more than that, it was amazing to see these two as a unit.  When Jayme and Mitchell saw each other for the first look, they came alive!  They are a perfect example of the sum is greater than the parts.  These two sparkle when they are together.

On a personal note, this was the first wedding that Ian and I did both the photography & videography.  I photographed the wedding (with help from Hailey Golich) and Ian filmed the wedding (with help from John Williford).  We have a lot of experience filming weddings, but just started photographing them.  So I must thank Jayme and Mitchell for allowing me to photograph their wedding.  They put their trust and faith in me and that means the world to me.  Congrats you two!  We love you!!!

Jayme is one of my many cousins.  She is so much fun, so full of love, and just one of the sweetest people you will ever meet.  Her and Mitchell had been dating a while by the time I met him.  And I must say that he is great.  My family is a very large, rambunctious, and loud group full of love…and he fits right in.  Seeing him and Jayme together is amazing.

Last year we started planning a trip to Sunriver, OR for our grandpa’s 80th birthday.  We all couldn’t wait to get up there and celebrate.  Little did we know that we would be celebrating an engagement as well!  Mitchell took Jayme on a long walk around the river and they took a break at a bench.  Before Jayme knew it, Mitchell was asking for her hand in marriage.  And soon enough…Mitchell will be an outlaw (that’s what we call in laws in this family).

He couldn’t have picked a more beautiful place to propose.  So they asked to take some photos in the place he proposed.  Kudos Mitchell for picking the most beautiful bench in all of Sunriver Resort.  I’m so happy with how these pictures turned out…it was almost worth getting eaten up by the thousands of mosquitos…almost…
