Nicole and Garrett were blessed to have found each other. And when their paths crossed, they knew their love was a gift from life. The beginning wasn't easy and they had to spend a long time separated by many miles. But when it's true love, anything is possible, and no obstacle can keep you apart. You can see this in their love story. Cheers to Nicole and Garrett, and for all those couples that are fighting against all obstacles to keep their love together.

WEDDING FILMS AND PHOTOS FOR COUPLES WHO ARE PROUD TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLYYou’re getting married (yay!! how cool is that!?)..but you can’t help but think that weddings are kind of weird. Yes they’re beautiful and memorable and a pretty big deal, but they can also be awkward and stressful. You want all the parts of your relationship that made you want to do this wedding thing in the first place - the spontaneity, fun, intimacy, love, compassion - to shine while you celebrate your commitment, your passion, your joy! More than anything, you want to look back and relive the way the day made you feel! Your wedding is about so much more than the bouquets (although beautiful!) and cake (although delicious, and I definitely want a piece!) - it’s about basking in the glow of the day, taking in the quiet moments, honoring what brought you together in the first place and what continues to fuel your love fire each and every day. I believe in wedding films that feel true to who you are and the story you share. I'm not about posing your way to perfection or framing your story in only the best light. I'm here to celebrate the non traditional, document authentically, and highlight vibrantly. I'm ready to share the beautifully stressful crazy cool weirdness that is your wedding day. Let's do different, together.
