I love getting to know the people at weddings. Some weddings have a goofy groom or bride. Some have a funny toast or a choreographed dance.

What I loved about Sara and Ryan’s was that everyone there knew each other so well that any joke landed instantly with the whole room. It was like listening to inside jokes except everybody was in on them, which somehow makes them funnier. Watch the film and you’ll see what I mean.

This happened repeatedly. The whole room was in on it.

Sara Has Never Met A Stranger

That everyone knew each other that well won’t surprise you once you meet Sara. I swear this bride has never met a stranger. I wasn’t just welcomed as a friend at their wedding, I felt like part of the family by the end of it.

Between her friendliness and Ryan’s genuine kindness it was obvious these two were made for each other. It was equally obvious that both families were delighted to be joining up.

Olde Dobbin Station, And A Lot Of Timelapses

I had a genuinely hard time editing this one, because there was so much good material I wanted to keep. One of the things I enjoyed most was shooting a lot more timelapses than usual, which the venue out in Montgomery earns.

A night timelapse of the venue lit up across a wide lawn under a moonlit sky with clouds streaking past
Olde Dobbin Station after dark. Worth the timelapse.

Special thanks to Taylor Stanley for helping me shoot this one.
