Life Stage Baby Story – The Riddles

We are so thrilled to share this cute, emotional, hilarious and very unique video with you from our creative line of videos called “Baby Stories“. It’s part of our “Legacy Video” product line, and we couldn’t be more excited to share this moment in the Riddle’s lives with you. You see, we love our job, not only because we get to be around happy people on a wedding day, but for all their other “Stages” of life as well. We filmed Patti & Christian’s wedding back in 2008, and formed a special relationship with them that went way past the wedding day festivities. They called us as soon as they found out they were pregnant so we could not only share in their joy, but they wanted to make sure we captured the same emotions from their wedding day that they would surely have during the arrival of their baby. We filmed a baby shower for them, came to the hospital the day after the birth of their baby boy, and came a month later to film family members loving on Finnegan Riddle to document just how much he had grown! We wanted to share a quick clip of their Baby Story Film in the hospital after their son was born. Such priceless memories captured. I also have to say I’ve never laughed so hard while holding a camera when Patti explains the naming process of “Baby Barnacle”! They chose not to know if it was a boy or girl til the birth, and you’ll hear Christian’s experience seeing his boy for the first time. So cool! It’s moments like these where we all feel so privileged to do what we do here at Life Stage Films.

Sam & Sarah – Wedding Highlights

Wilmington, NC

Josiah & Melissa filmed this beautiful wedding at the historic First Presbyterian Church in downtown Wilmington, NC. What an awesome, fun and hilarious couple! You could tell they were where they wanted to be that day. Although we were required to stay in the balcony (church rules), I think Josiah and Melissa got some incredible shots and emotions from the ceremony. And how cool is that church?! We think Sam’s first reaction to getting to kiss his bride for the first time is priceless!

It’s never a dull moment when we film a reception at the Surf Club on Wrightsville Beach, and with tHE.DESIGN Band rockin’ the party you know it’s bound to be a fun time. Our clients weddings, and their videos always have so much energy with them around.

We enjoyed every minute of this day and felt so privileged to be a part of the joy and excitement. Be sure to leave some comment love for them on the blog! Sam & Sarah, congrats to you and thank you so much for including us.

Kimberly & Andrew – Wedding Highlights

Corolla, NC (Outer Banks)

You might remember Kim & Andrew from their awesome Love Story Video we filmed back in the summer. Check it out to get to know them and their story before you watch their wedding. It makes it so much more sweeter. They came down from New York/New Jersey with all of their close friends and family and had one of the most hoppin’, entertaining, and beautifully designed rehearsal, wedding, and reception we have seen. We gave you a taste of their Caribbean themed rehearsal here, with a steel drum band. Kimberly’s fingerprints were all over the design, and that made it even more incredible. We loved the color scheme, along with the goldfish, table decor complete with pictures of all of Kim & Andrew’s adventures. And the flowers by Holiday House Weddings were amazing! You can see how they pop off the screen. Nanette, owner and lead event designer with a Proper Setting, is our new best friend! She is not only a talented planner, but a pleasure to be around and makes our videos look great! ;)

What a unique experience this wedding was. Kim and Andrew rented out a massive beach house…..on the beach. On the edge of the Earth, in the Outer Banks of NC. You actually had to drive on the beach for 20 minutes before you even got to the house. The sand was their driveway. And we all had to watch out for the wild horses that call that strip of beach their home when we were driving. We even saw a few come up to the house. Being with Kim & Andrew all weekend, you could genuinely feel how excited they were to finally be getting married. It was so fun to be around that kind of energy. Their officiant, Rev. Jay Bowman, not only matched their excitement level (as you’ll see in the video!), he provided a beautiful message on marriage, that I am sure resonated with all the guests as well. The party lasted into the night with a beautiful choreographed first dance. But there was a little bit of improv on their last dance as they ended up in the pool. And Kim still had her wedding dress on. A.W.E.S.O.M.E. You’ll just have to watch the clip.

Thanks Kim & Andrew for allowing us to film your wedding day. You made us feel like family, and it truly was one of the most unique, heartfelt, and entertaining weddings we have ever been a part of. Leave your comments people! Let’s let Kim & Andrew know what you think of their wedding day.
