So many gorgeous things to say about this wedding, and the couple!!!! I can say that these families welcomed us all into their hearts and we were so honored to share this awesome day (and still get poked on facebook every once an a while lol.)
Now I am gonna get on my little soap box for a minute and then we can continue 
I am a HUGE believer in adding video to ALL weddings! I watch mine every year (and I have been blessed to have watched it SO many years with my amazing husband)… but enough about me! lol
Take a moment to look at this AWESOME photo of the wedding party! You are able to gather a sense of how much fun they are having while playing silly little games! With photos, we can capture a second in time. which we LOVE so very much (and I am sure every bride hangs one of these photos on their walls!)
Now it is time to watch the video. You will notice a small segment, in this preview, where the wedding party is actually moving! You get a glimpse of how much fun they are having and we can now see a scene in totality. Oh how I wanted to wear a purple dress and hop in the middle of this fun crowd!!!
Now if you are considering NOT having a video, let me give you a few things to think about:
1) Not everybody in your wedding will be around forever. I am not trying to be morbid but having my grandfather on video, at my wedding, is one of my greatest treasures EVER!!!
2) If you have kids, they will for SURE want to see Mom and Dad’s wedding!!! Imagine the grandkids too! Your wedding will be a legacy!
3) You will miss SO much of your wedding. Since you cant be in two places at once, it is impossible for you to know everything you missed! So the video will be so new and fun for you too!
So, if you can fit it in the budget, GET A VIDEOGRAPHER!!!!!! If you cant fit it in the budget, and are computer savvy, get a few flip cameras and have your wedding party pass them around throughout the night! JUST GET IT ON VIDEO! You will thank me in 10 years

It has been a few days since I have been on the blog! Yikes the time has passed too quickly but I have an AWESOME reason! As a wedding planner, checklists are HUGE but this is on a more personal level. I have had the pleasure to connect with some of the finest wedding professionals and when I tell you, it was an event not to miss!
Check out a few highlights of the ISSE Mexico………….
Inspire Smart Success Experience {ISSE} Cancun, Mexico from Epic Motion on Vimeo.
There will be pictures to follow but I have to say that the photos wont come close to the amazing time we had. The Event wedding Planning gurus were there to share their talents and knowledge with us. First, thanks to the ever bubbly and fashonista with a talent for all things great, Stacie Francombe continues to inspire us all (HEY, maybe that is why she created “Inspire Success”!!!) Now I know yall are watchers of EVERYTHING wedding, so I know that the sassy Diann Valentine, host of We TV’s I Do Over, is a someone we all wanna hang out with!!! When I tell you she is a POWER personality, she handed me one lesson that i will share with you “WALK IN YOUR TRUTH!” Be you because there is only ONE you!!! This time I was able to meet her wonderful husband and her gorgeous daughter!
I am MADLY and WILDLY in love with linens and everytime I see Wildflower Linens, I want to run up to Youngsong Martin and give her a hug! Well, guess who i hugged this week lol.
A few of my favorite bloggers were there and it was awesome to put a face to a blog! The most awesomest dinner table leader and the hillarious Dana LaRue, creator of The Broke-Ass Bride, and Jen Campbell, creator of Green Wedding Shoes. Go check em out!
Ok, well I will leave this as a “I want more………………” cuz there is so much more good stuff to come. For now, go watch the video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
