BEHIND THE LENS
our blog
We’re looking back on the blue skies and warm weather of Hayden’s fall wedding at the amazing Allenbrooke Farms in Spring Hill, Tennessee.
Keep an eye out for a few pretty unique items of interest – a stunning “golden hour” ceremony set afront a decorative teepee, a wall of colorful artwork that was put to amazing use for couple and wedding party photos, and (our personal favorite) personal-sized tortilla chips and guac served as part of a pre-wedding ceremony social hour.
We’re thrilled to share Hayden + Connor’s beautiful cinematic wedding film with you here!
Wooo, 2020. What a year, huh? In the midst of all the craziness and uncertainty we found there’s one constant, immutable force: love.
I thought it would be fun to share some of what we were up to towards the end of last year and offer a much needed update to our unusually quiet blog.
Ashli + Reid were married at the always warm and welcoming Drakewood Farm. We’ll never forget Ashli’s dress…or Reid’s reaction to seeing her in it for the first time!
We hope you enjoy this peek into their day. Full cinematic highlights film to come!
Hi all!
Brian here. I just wanted to give you a quick update on things here at With This Ring with regards to your wedding day and the wedding video or photo services that you’ve contracted with us.
(Yes I know, more ‘news’ about the virus…)
What We Are Doing
First, we have been taking measures to help keep our gear sanitized using Lysol wipes on our equipment cases, bags, tripods, microphones, camera bodies and the like. Additionally, our gear is stored in airtight cases which will help prevent any contamination in between wedding shoots.
We are also going to be carrying small hand sanitizers with us that we’ll use throughout your wedding day and if you wish to use it, just ask – we’re happy to share!
We’ll also be altering how we shoot a bit to practice social distancing while capturing all those must-have moments. It’s important that we do everything we can to protect you and your guests while also protecting our shooters and their families. You might find that we’re filming or photographing some moments from a bit further away than usual using lenses with a longer focal length. The end result will be unchanged – a beautiful wedding film and stunning photos!
We will be implementing these ‘best practices’ for all our upcoming weddings this year.
Live Stream for FREE
Additionally, for those couples with weddings booked with us for the 2020 wedding season, we are offering a free live stream of your wedding ceremony for those that can’t attend the wedding (especially helpful for elderly guests, those with young children, and those that may be detained or quarantined locally or abroad).
Just contact us and ask about getting the live stream for your ceremony and we will set this feature up at no charge to you. This special offer is on a first come, first served basis on popular dates, and if we don’t hear from you regarding this live streaming offer we’ll assume that you don’t need it.
This live stream viewing experience is completely unedited, and your absent family and other loved ones will enjoy being able to view your wedding ceremony in real time.
If there are any issues with the live stream and it is interrupted due to connection issues, we will upload the video stream to the channel as quickly as possible after the ceremony.
Need to Reschedule?
As per your contract, if you need to postpone your wedding we will gladly work with you on rescheduling your date. We’ll do our best to offer a little extra peace of mind in these uncertain times.
If you have any questions or concerns, just connect with us and we’ll be happy to chat!
Gosh, what can we say about these two amazing people? Our team spent three action packed days with Shiv and Virali and their guests at Deewan Banquet Hall and The Addison Park in New Jersey and had one of the most thrilling wedding shoots of the season.
We’re lucky to have so many couples that say “we trust you, just do your thing” and Shiv and Virali were so kind and so generous in every way possible. We ❤️ them, their families and friends, and all the kick butt fellow vendors that made their wedding event a weekend to remember! A very special thanks to Reema Butala and team from RB Event Design, and photographer Jay Seth and crew for making everything flow effortlessly.
We hope you enjoy this condensed look at Shiv and Virali’s wedding. They also received a whopping 23-minute long film for their family and friends to share.
Touching hand-written vows, dancing into the night, and cotton candy. We can’t think of a more perfect wedding experience!
Jocasta and Nick tied the knot in Nashville at the lux East Ivy, an Italian-Renaissance style mansion that features a majestic marble-floored atrium, a rustic walnut library, and a stunning winding staircase.
We couldn’t have created this beautiful film for the newlyweds without the help of some pretty darn amazing vendor partners, including coordination and planning by Music City Events, flowers by Enchanted Florist, photography by Emily Lester, delicious catering by Chef Penelope, balloon installation and inflation by Rock Paper Scissors and Volunteer Welding Supply, music and DJ by Entertain!, late night snacks from Five Points Pizza and made-to-order cotton candy by the whimsical SpinWheels.
What a blast we had with these two on their wedding day! The perfect weather, the perfect mix of family and friends, and the perfect backdrop at the historic Union Station Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee.
Special thanks to day-of-coordinator Ashley Succow, officiant Chris Nichols of Cross Point Church, Photographer Lauren White, DJ Jane Dupree, florists Belles Fleurs Designs, hair and makeup by Chantal Ingram and Annelise Carey, and decor by Music City Tents and Events.
We hope you enjoy this cinematic look at Rachel and Ryan’s wedding day!
These two are just perfect for each other and we can’t wait to share more amazing footage from Natalia and David’s gorgeous wedding at the lush Cheekwood Estate & Gardens in Nashville. We hope you enjoy this brief peek into their day!
A million thanks to all that made the event special, including the newlyweds’ family and friends, the staff at Cheekwood, wedding coordinator Christopher Lago, Please Be Seated, Bright Event Productions, Beyond Details Catering, Music City String Quartet, Flourishing Flowers, musician Chaz Mazzota and photographer Parker Young.
Woo! What an adventure Jessica + Seth’s wedding was! With guests from all over the globe, these two tied the knot in beautiful Jalisco, Mexico at the luxurious Hacienda el Carmen.
You may notice some familiar faces in this film: bride Jessica is the sister of Veronica and sister-in-law of Massimo, the amazing couple that invited us to film their wedding last year in Taormina, Sicily.
Many talented wedding pros came together to make this two-day event extra special, and we can’t thank Mariana of Pierce Photography in Guadalajara for being so kind to our team and for being graciously open to collaboration. We love making new friends during our travels!
We can’t wait to share all the amazing moments we captured, so for now here’s a sneak peek of Jessica + Seth’s cinematic wedding film. ¡Esperamos que disfrutes!
