Wedding | Kristen & Dale | Part One | Waynesville, NC

So we shot Kristen & Dale’s wedding at a beautiful private mountain home in Waynesville. For that day, I felt as though I were in another country. The scenery was breathtaking. Like we were in some french countryside or something. There was a water wheel over a pond covered in water lilies and a wooden roped swing that hung lonely from a tree -I mean, truly storybook. And this story includes a bride & groom who are beautiful people inside and out. The ceremony had everyone in tears, even the groomsmen. When Dale looks at Kristen, it’s as though he’s thinking, “God, I am the luckiest man in the world.” And when Kristen looks up at Dale, you know she’s thinking, “God, I am the luckiest girl in the world.” When two people mutually love each other that much now, can you even imagine what their love will be like 50 years from now?

Anyhow, there was a little bit of downtime during the first part of the day and so Alin and I had decided to mess around with the HD video functions with our 5D Mark II’s. We are definitely not these guys, and nor do we intend to ever switch over to wedding cinematography (there’s just no time for it), but it’s something that we had a little bit of extra time to do on this day, and hopefully it’s a pleasant surprise for Kristen & Dale. Stay tuned tomorrow morning for the wedding pictures.
