>We posted Josh + Leah’s Same Day Edit a while back, but I wanted to post it side by side with their trailer to emphasize the difference between the two. Storytelling is a big portion of what we do, and while the Same Day Edit is a great vehicle to show your guests the day in a way they didn’t know was possible, our edits after the shoot are where we have the time to really be meticulous. I’ve posted both the Same Day Edit and the Trailer next to one another for you to check out.

>Of all the venues that are at the disposal of any given couple, there is something timeless and so romantic about a fall wedding on a vineyard. Billy + Amy were married in style at Ponte Family Estate. I could begin to write on about all the details, but it’s so much better to simply check out the trailer. . .

So today was pretty exciting when we received the word that WeddingWire has just announced Weddings by SML has been selected to receive the WeddingWire 2010 Bride’s Choice Awards for Wedding Videography!!!

The annual Bride’s Choice Awards recognizes and celebrates excellence in quality and service within the wedding industry, as determined by recent reviews and extensive surveys from over 500,000 newlyweds.

>One of the many signs of a great relationship is change for the better. When a couple can support one another and help to shape each other into the people they long to be over the course of a lifetime, that is true love.

Lucas and Tina are clearly in a great relationship. Lucas’ best man gave a toast that was short and simple, but we think it is the best toast we have heard in a long time. Filled with nothing but heart felt words of honesty and emotion, it was truly an honor to have the opportunity to share it through their trailer.

While clever phrases and well timed punch lines seem to dominate the reception mic, sometimes simplicity is best.

We posted Tina + Lucas’ Same Day Edit, if you missed it, check it out here. So for their trailer, we didn’t want to give away too much good stuff, so in the spirit of the post, we kept it simple 🙂

>One of the most rewarding and challenging parts of our business is the ability to provide the ultimate keepsake of a day filled with so much emotion and tradition. This wedding was even more challenging in that Brian is in the Navy and was deployed off to Afghanistan shortly after the big day, so it goes without saying that a lot of trust was placed in us by Kimberly to document their wedding. . . . no pressure, right???

. . . . The two were married in the North Chapel at Liberty Station Marketplace. Built in 1942 by the United States Navy as a place of worship for thousands of recruits and serviceman, it was a beautiful site for a military wedding to take place.

So here it is, Brian + Kimberly!

Enjoy 🙂
