From Matt:

Same Day Edits for us are always stressful, in a good way. Filming, editing and creating a piece of art that a couple can share with their loved ones during the reception is no easy feat. That’s why I loved how excited Ashley and Gabe were to be able to “give” this to their friends and family. Based on Ashley and Gabe’s live reaction to the film at the reception, I have a feeling we gave them a gift too. 🙂 We used a longer more intimate song coupled with their audio from their vows to create a SAME DAY EDIT unlike anything we have done in the past. And we even through in a TIME LAPSE video we filmed of the riverwalk in front of 128 South!

Congrats you two! HONORED you trusted us enough to pull this off, and capture moments you didn’t even remember happening. The weather, the gardens and the fall air as Rubberband jammed out all night was like a dream. And Thank YOU Gabe, for all that you do and sacrifice for our country.

Things we loved:

1. The wonderful weather! It was an amazing Fall day. Not even humid!
2. Tokens of Ashley’s Grandmother
3. The “First Look”. Loved Gabe’s little smirk before he turned all the way around
4. Family! Gabe has 11 siblings. It was cool to see the love permeating.
5. “Give Me Your Forever” custom banner over the altar. Very cool and intimate touch to the garden wedding.

 

From the Bride & Groom:

Q. What is your favorite activity to do together?
A. Watching football, going to concerts, hanging out with friends, traveling, going to the beach!

Q. The Proposal: How did it happen?
A. We have an awesome website that we put all this on. Click Here so you can read all about us!

Q. Tell us about any special traditions or unique activities that we should know about which will be happening on your wedding day.
A. We are doing a sand ceremony and writing our own vows. I will be using some of my grandmothers things that day to honor her. I will have a hankie wrapped around my bouquet and will have her wedding rings either tied to my bouquet or I will wear them. We are using her great-grandmothers cake stand for our wedding cake. We will also have some flowers set up at the wedding to honor our loved ones who have passed away. Also, our wedding favors will be donation cards for the American Cancer Society which is a special thing for us. Gabe’s aunt passed away from leukemia and I work as a pediatric oncology nurse so this was a special way for us to give back.
