David & Catherine’s Wedding Highlights

Wrightsville Beach, NC

Watch Video on VIMEO HERE

One of the biggest fears of having a beach wedding is always – What if it rains!?!  Catherine and David are one of the luckiest couples ever.  The Thursday before their big day I started to worry about the bad weather coming our way.   Around 3 o’clock I get a call from a calm David asking if we could change our shooting times due to rain.  He was in the process of calling ever vendor and moving their wedding up in the day to miss the storm.  Magically every vendor, including us, easily changed their plans and Catherine and David had a marvelous day complete with a beautiful ceremony on the beach.

David and Catherine are such amazing people and we have had such a great time working with them.  Their wedding was full of so many wonderful touches, mostly hand made with love by Catherine’s Mom.  C & D’s big day was very special and full of love and happiness.  You can just see how much David is in love with Catherine whenever he looks at her. 
Congrats to the lovely couple!  We hope everyone loves their highlights.  I had a hard time fitting all the details in so you may need to watch a few times to see it all :).

Mary Elizabeth and Gabe, along with their families, put together the best ingredients Wilmington had to offer, to create a quintessential, southern event people will be talking about for years. But even more importantly, after hearing their story through the perspective of their friends and family’s toasts, it’s evident that Mary Elizabeth and Gabe are the perfect fit, and will be falling for each other more and more as the years go on.

Arguably one of our most favorite weddings, this day had all the elements for an amazing celebration. You can check out the all-star vendors below, but having a surprise gospel choir perform during the ceremony, an epic first look on the waterway, desserts fit for a heavenly banquet, and one of the best party bands in the country…made for one of the best weddings any one present has experienced.

It also helps to have AMAZING coordination (thanks Courtney and Jen!) and of course a bride and groom that are excited about each other on their wedding day and never take their eyes off one another.

Needless to say, we love how this film turned out because it was so easy to capture the unalterated emotions from this day.
We were honored to film it. Enjoy and comment away!

Mandy & Jon – Wedding Highlights

Video Run Time – 4:00

Mandy & Jon – Wedding Highlights from Matt Davis on Vimeo.

Melissa & Amy rocked out this wedding which was set right on a cove behind our bride’s grandparent’s home at Figure Eight Island, NC. The flowers, the yard, and the decor were not only the workmanship of Mandy’s grandmother, but the sunset made the evening even better. With such history for the family, what a cool place to have a wedding! Mandy & Jon chose to do something very unique for their wedding as illustrated in their highlights video. They chose to have their friends and family give short toasts on video so they could all enjoy them on a screen at the reception during dinner. It was a hit and such a cool concept! If you are perusing the blog and are interested in having this at your wedding let us know! We included just a small sampling of the heartfelt and hilarious toasts given by Mandy & Jon’s friends and family. Venue was great, food is always stellar at the Yacht Club and the band, Hip Pocket, entertained all night long! Mandy & Jon couldn’t have asked for a better day and a better team for their wedding. Congrats guys, we hope you enjoy the film and that it takes you back for years to come.
