Chrissy and Andrew met at Andrew's groomsmen's 21st birthday party. One of Chrissy's bridesmaid literally PUSHED Chrissy into Andrew. The rest was history. Even though the odds were against them with graduation, and Chrissy's upcoming move to Austin, their love prevailed. They continued to choose one another day after day and made it work. It was such an incredible day celebrating these two on that beautiful May day. 

**I also loved that the couple chose to use our 16mm film option for the extra element in their film. It all turned out so beautiful!!
