The mic failed. A guest fainted. The carriage never came.

“Our daughter was married in August, 2023. As with any wedding, there are sure to be one or two things that don't go exactly as planned. And that was the case with ours.”

  1. I

    The mic failed.

    “At the wedding ceremony, the officiant's microphone had a short in it and kept cutting on and off. We heard about every fourth word…Much to our surprise and delight, Brian and Micah had used their own microphones for the video and the sound is perfect-as if nothing ever happened.”
  2. II

    A guest fainted.

    “Just as my daughter was saying her wedding vows, one of our guests, recovering from an illness, fainted and literally fell out into the aisle! Once again, the quick reaction of Brian and Micah saved the day. They stepped in front of the guest, taking photos and blocking the view so that the ceremony could continue without the bride and groom's awareness that anything was amiss.”
  3. III

    The carriage never came.

    “The grand finale to the event was supposed to be them leaving in a white horse and carriage...that never arrived…Brian and Micah jumped into the car with them, carrying all of their equipment, and took them to Broadway and got some amazing, fun, memorable photos of them in their wedding attire surrounded by the energy and lights of lower Broad.”

“The video and photos are spectacular and they made it all look flawless (well, there are a few classic photos of the bridesmaid's faces when they first saw the guest in the aisle!).”

Watch the film. You'd never know.
