wedding videos

it was kind of strange how we happened to hire nathan pickett to be our wedding videographer.


that's his him right over there... teaching lincoln the art of fluffing a wedding dress... what a champ.



it was one cold day in january and i can't quite remember, but i think i found him through rockstar diaries sponsor side bar on my iPhone as we were driving around town.

because we had to change our wedding day (another store for later), the original videographer we thought about hiring was already booked.

turns out nate is pretty good buddies with the other dude.

so we knew he had good style based on his friendship with the other dude and that he told us he was more of a documentary type videographer, which i absolutely wanted.

i wasn't into all the slow-motion spinning in circles type dealio.

i just wanted to have someone capture our day exactly how it happened with real emotions.

and that is exactly what we got with nate.


we met him at his office that day in january and lincoln and i instantly felt like we wanted to be best friends with nate.

he seriously is way cool, people.


so we were way happy about our choice.

and then we had to wait five long months to actually work with him.


i could say a million great things about nate, but the biggest compliment i can give him was that he was one of the easiest people we worked with during wedding planning.

he was upfront and open about how long it would take, etc. and we totally didn't mind because he is just that awesome.

good thing we booked him when we did.  he told me he had many inquiries for our day.  and also like 12 weddings in june alone.  yikes!


last weekend he sent me the highlight videos of our wedding day and reception.

i will admit i cried watching the temple coverage.

it's perfect.


and now i will share with you.


he said he will have the full disc to us soon, so i will share that when it comes!

but here's the highlights for now.

Also, in your temple video, when the first song says "lovely girl" with a great shot of you there. I thought that was great. GOOD JOB NATE!

I watched these last night and then woke up this morning singing a song I didn't know. Turns out it was the second song from the Temple video & I made myself (almost) late for work downloading it.
Just got a text from a workmate saying "what is that song with the line about bunnies in?" so I have spread the musical infection!

I'm so glad you had a fabulous day and thank you so much for sharing it with us. xx
