Love Stories - Ashley & Ryan

It was so much fun showing you all the last wedding video that I made HERE, that I had to do it again after I finished this edit for Ashley & Ryan. As I get more and more interested in making video, and even more specifically, in the editing of video, I decided that I would make it a goal to book six weddings in the 2011 season and see how far I can take this making "love stories" thing. Just six. I don't think I could handle more than that. I am really loving making these, but again this has much to do with me being spoiled by the clients I have been lucky to have so far.

This one passed the test, as I showed it to Cole and she started to get emotional and got the cry eyes. I asked her: "Do you think they will like this?" and she gave me that sweet little smack on the shoulder and was like "duh! Look at him smile at her, how can someone not like that?"

As far as the challenge of being able to tell a good love story in just a few minutes, I knew I had it made the first time I saw the groom (Ryan), smile at his bride (Ashley), it was ridiculously sweet. Guys usually don't let that big of a smile loose that often, and this guy was not shy about being in love with her, not even around all his buddies and brother, he never played it off as no big deal, you could see this was a huge deal to him, and it was really cool to key in on it.

Ashley & Ryan were supposed to get married right at magic hour and it would have been amazing in this lake setting, but the Florida summer rolled off a late hard hitting storm that lasted a good couple hours, and dumped a serious amount of water on everything. it was interesting to watch how everyone held up under the stress of plans being screwed with by Mother Nature, how they rolled with things, seeing Ashley instantly calm down after a simple quick reassuring text message from Ryan. You could tell his words were soothing, in that really great way. Don't you just love that kind of calm? When your love can look at you and say, "this is all gong to be fine" and you know that it will.

Despite the soggy skies, they threw a great party and everyone in attendance was so bright you didn't notice the rain at all. Big smiles, happy families, really supportive friends and buddies, this was a great group of people that were genuinely bummed when it was all over. I think this group had another few hours of dancing and partying in them. I was really happy I got to be a part of this one, and that I met Ashley & Ryan.

So here they are...

This gorgeous song is called 'Nannerl" and it is by: Julius Airwave, and you can buy it right HERE for cheap.
