Jane & Brian || Wedding

Here is the debut of my filming and editing of a wedding video. My sister, Clara, and I were asked by Brian and Jane to do their wedding video. It has its imperfections. We didn't have a steady-cam so it's not super professional looking. I had no experience prior! Brian, for some crazy divine reason, believed in our abilities and trusted us with his day. Honestly I was moreso joking when I offered but he was serious on accepting it. *Note to self: Never jokingly offer your amateur services.... it will lead to craziness!*

It was definitely an experience I've never had before. Not only did we film their wedding, we also were involved with the wedding preparations the day before since we were early. I've never helped out at a wedding before so I didn't know what to expect. All I know is that I don't even want to pinterest-plan my wedding anymore because there's SO much to do. I couldn't believe all the things that had to get done and how many people it took to make sure this day went smoothly and perfect. 

Jane & Brian's wedding and story is beautiful. Right from the beginning to the end there was so much joy and love. Two nights before the wedding we were up until 3am working on random little decorations and it was pretty amazing to see how calm they were. They were always calm even when things couldn't be found, or we had to do more errands than planned. It made me calm and I think it made everyone else calm. You could see how loved these two were by how many people were willing to help out. Even Brian's groomsmen were working on the table decorations. 

This wedding showed me how much a marriage is NOT just about two people. I really honor and respect Jane for her trust in the Lord. Long story short, Jane and Brian met on a blinddate a few weeks before he was going back to Korea. The second time they met was in Korea, the third time they met was when they got engaged! She told us that more than trusting Brian, she trusted the Lord and she trusted the community he came from. She saw that he came from a healthy, loving community that displayed the essence of a true family. She had nothing to worry about even though she was literally leaving everything behind in America. Crazy, eh? Love really takes crazy risks.

We worked with the amazing Tanya and her intern Elle. It was SUCH an honor to work with someone so professional and so confident in her skills. Being in her presence and working made our day a lot calmer than we anticipated. Check out her amazing photos of the day!

To be honest, it's kind of terrifying to do something like this while waiting in anticipation to see how people react. It's a pretty vulnerable place to show your piece of work with the world and hear NOTHING. Silence is more devastating than constructive criticism, so please be kind to me today :)
