Well guys, 2015 is just about wrapped up. It's been quite a year for us here at BGP. We've had the chance to travel around a good bit working with some amazing couples. Lots of exciting, funny, passionate and beautiful moments were captured, and we're excited about the upcoming year and all that it holds. But before we jump into 2016 we wanted to write a little about one of our favorite films from the past year.
Weddings feature a lot of symbols. Some of them are fairly obvious; everyone knows the importance of the wedding rings or the lighting of the unity candle. There are the religious symbols and rituals that deepen the meaning of the ceremony. But oftentimes there are other symbols of a more personal nature, things that have a very special meaning to the bride, the groom or their families. Lauren and Jimmy's story is built upon one of these personal symbols. Their film is not only about a wedding day, but a car that has tied together several generations and united multiple families over the decades.
During our first meeting we discussed the plan for the wedding day. As we talked about their vision for the day Jimmy mentioned he was working on restoring his grandfather's 1931 Ford Model A for the wedding. The car had a long history with his family; it had been used in his mother's wedding as well as all of his aunts' weddings to transport the brides to the church on their wedding day. Over the years the car had been neglected and hadn't run in several years. Jimmy wanted to continue the family wedding day tradition so a ground-up restoration of the car began. We immediately knew this car was something special, something that would speak volumes about them, their families, their history and their future.
We stayed in touch with Lauren and Jimmy throughout the planning process, and as the wedding approached we payed them a visit to check on the progress of the restoration. Things had not gone as smoothly as possible with the restoration work. The deadline was fast approaching but everyone was in good spirits. It was great to see Jimmy and his father working together while Jimmy's grandma gave some encouragement (and a few good-natured pokes at the slow progress). Seeing multiple generations hanging out in a garage together was a unique reminder of the importance of family. It also served as a great introduction to Jimmy and Lauren's story:
We hope all of you have an amazing 2016 filled with love and adventure. We'll catch up with you guys in January with more stories of love, family and tradition!

Mandy + Joey: A BGP Highlight Film from Destin, Florida
"Be careful not to complain about anything, even the weather, since I am the Author of your circumstances. The best way to handle unwanted situations is to thank Me for them."
-taken from the opening paragraph of Mandy's daily devotional on her wedding day
The beaches along Highway 30A in Florida are known for their amazing beauty; clear water and white sand as far as the eye can see. It's the perfect backdrop for a wedding, and Mandy and Joey traveled from Northern California to celebrate their love together with friends and family.
As with any outdoor wedding weather has to be a considered. As the morning turned to afternoon dark clouds loomed. The wind picked up and the decision was made to start the ceremony a little earlier than planned. Everyone gathered at the beach and witnessed the wedding ceremony as the clouds rolled in from the west. There wasn't a dry eye on the beach during their emotional, personal vows. Within 10 minutes of the ceremony ending the rain started coming down. It was a pretty close call, but after about 45 minutes of light rain everything dried up and the celebration continued.
It's amazing when everything just works out on a wedding day. Despite a few changes to the timeline Mandy and Joey's wedding was an amazing success. We can't help thinking that daily devotional passage definitely had something to do with it.

Some of the littlest wedding-day details can say so much about a couple. While Marion was getting ready for her wedding she made a last-minute decision to switch out her shoes. Instead of her beautiful heels she decided to walk down the aisle in her blue Converse Chuck Taylor's. That quick little change in the plan says so much about her; there's never a dull moment with Marion around.
Over the weekend in Oxford we got to watch Marion and Andrew and learn about their dynamic together. They work really well to balance each other out. Marion is a mile-a-minute, constantly changing directions with an unstoppable energy, while Andrew has a more deliberate approach which helps keep things on track. It's great to see two people that work so well together, not in spite of, but because of their different personalities.

Allie + Dalton: A BGP Teaser in Baton Rouge, LA
A huge part of what we do here at BGP is finding music that perfectly compliments the magic of the wedding day. It can be a painstaking process; sifting through dozens of songs to find the one that's just right can take a LOT of time. Finding the song that takes the film to the next level is so exciting-it's like the icing on the cake. For Allie and Dalton's wedding we had the perfect song practically drop into our lap.
Allie let us know that the very talented Rebecca Roubion would be singing her song, "Doorway", for their first dance. We looked up the song online and within the first 30 seconds we knew we had to use the song for some part of their wedding. We were able to find the rights to the song via The Music Bed, so we knew we were good to go. What we didn't know was that Rebecca's live version of the song was going to be PERFECT. The song you're hearing in the teaser is Rebecca playing live at the reception. Incredible.

Speaking of incredible, we had THE BEST time with Allie and Dalton. The amount of energy and excitement throughout the day was incredible. Allie was one of the most fun brides we've ever worked with. She dealt with the wedding day jitters by bouncing around the hotel all morning with a never-ending supply of energy that continued throughout the night. So much fun!

Horses, Heat and... Shotguns: Alison + Brian
Finding something unique about every wedding we shoot can be a challenge. If you've shot at a venue a few times you know what works and what doesn't. You get an idea of what churches have what kind of lighting, what parts of town have easy parking and what hotels have slow elevators. But no matter how many times we've shot at a location there's always something that surprises us.
Going into Alison and Brian's wedding weekend we had a good idea of what to expect since we had filmed at their rehearsal dinner location a few months before. We also had a Skype meeting with them a few weeks prior to the wedding to get an idea of what they were planning for the big weekend. One thing that really stood out was the activities planned for the morning of the wedding. While Alison and the bridesmaids were getting hair and makeup done the guys would be out shooting.
Shotguns.
Lot's of 'em.
We'll be perfectly honest; when Brian told us about they would be out shooting the morning of the wedding we got excited. It was DEFINITELY something different, and different usually means fun. But then we got nervous. How were we going to include a bunch of guys shooting guns into their wedding film? We talked about different possibilities like mixing the girls prep footage with the guys firing off rounds, but nothing seemed to really "work" in our heads while we were planning for the shoot. We knew the footage would look great and probably be pretty funny, but if it didn't make sense for the story we probably wouldn't use it. Which brings us to the night before the wedding.
We were on hand to film Alison and Brian's rehearsal dinner which is one of our favorite parts of the wedding weekend. After a couple of speeches from friends and family Alison's dad got up to say a few words. About a minute into his speech we knew we had struck gold; we let out a good laugh and started planning out the edit that night at the hotel.
While the shooting range was extremely fun to film, there is SO MUCH more to Alison and Brian's film than some guys shooting guns and making fun of each other. Their wedding was absolutely beautiful from beginning to end, and you could tell that the entire weekend really meant a lot to them. Even when the weather didn't cooperate they managed to keep their focus on each other which says a lot about their relationship. The heat of the day and the rain that came later in the night didn't make a difference. They took everything in stride and seemed to enjoy every minute of it.

Haley + Michael: A BGP Teaser
We are huge fans of the first-look here at BGP.
HUGE.
Honestly, it's by far one of our favorite parts of the job. There's so much emotion, excitement and personality that comes through in those first few moments when a couple get to see each other for the first time. Being able to see and hear the reactions from our couples is so awesome. You never know how people will react, and over the years we've been pretty surprised at some of the emotional outbursts we've seen. Some of the biggest, toughest looking grooms we've worked with have just broken down in the moment. It's pretty amazing stuff.
For Haley and Michael's wedding the first look was a surprise. Michael thought he was just being called into the church to take some group photos. As he entered the darkened church he saw his bride waiting for him at the altar. Needless to say it was a pretty dramatic scene. As Michael walked down the aisle towards Haley you could see the reaction was going to be pretty epic.
We thought we could use this dramatic moment to build some anticipation in their trailer. Of course the reaction was nothing short of magical, but you'll have to see their Feature Film for all that goodness. A little tease never hurt anyone, right?

Jackson, Mississippi Wedding Film: A Tuesday Wedding?!
Working in the wedding industry can take some getting used to. You can pretty much kiss your weekends goodbye; even if you only work on a Saturday you can guarantee that Friday will be spent preparing for the upcoming event and Sunday will be spent recovering. Filming a wedding is a non-stop job. Running to get the shot lined up, racing around town from venue to venue and loading gear to and from each location can take a toll on you. But filming a wedding is NOTHING compared to being the wedding coordinator.
Being a wedding planner/coordinator is a job-and-a-half. Having to spend months with a couple planning the wedding of their dreams is a lot of work, and making sure their vision is executed properly takes a special kind of person. There are so many elements that must come together on a wedding day. Catering, entertainment, lighting, decorations, flowers, programs... the list goes on and on.
But there is something special about a wedding that goes off without any hiccups or snags along the way. Having a great coordinator can take the pressure off of the bride, groom and their families. It really allows everyone to enjoy the day they have worked so hard to get to. It takes a unique blend of personality, organization and emotional intelligence to plan and execute someone's dream wedding.
So when we were contacted by our friend Kendall (of Kendall Poole Event Planning) about filming HER wedding we knew we were in for a treat. We knew the locations, decorations, cakes and all the details were going to be beautiful. Aside from all the pretty details, we also knew Kendall's personality and her deep faith were going to make for an amazing story for her film. And although we had never met Will, her fiancé, we knew if he was getting hitched to Kendall he had to be a pretty cool dude (we were right).
We made the trek up to Jackson, Mississippi on a Tuesday afternoon to film this amazing event. You see, when you have a calendar full of weekend weddings it makes it tough to have an open weekend of your own. So Kendall planned her wedding for a Tuesday night (which was a first for us). As expected, all of the locations, details and little touches were beautiful. Kendall was glowing with excitement the entire day, and it was great getting to see her enjoy her own wedding instead of worrying about planning someone else's.
It was an honor to be a part of such a special day for Kendall and Will. We really wanted their film to be a reflection of their faith which was apparent throughout the entire day. We also wanted to showcase the ability of Kendall and her team to execute an amazing wedding (even if Kendall wasn't there to run the show).
Like we said earlier, working in the wedding biz can take some getting used to. But when you get to work with amazing, talented and loving people it's really no big deal.
Saturdays are overrated anyway.

Anna + Nadav: A BGP Signature Wedding Film (Utica, Mississippi)
2013 was a really great year for us here at BGP. We got to travel a good bit to work with some pretty awesome couples. We wanted to share one of our favorite films from last year with you guys; Anna + Nadav.
We first spoke with Anna and Nadav via Skype in April of last year. From the first meeting we knew that they were going to be an amazing couple. The way they interacted with each other on that Skype meeting was hilarious. Anna seemed to be detail oriented and very organized, and Nadav was just bubbling all over the place with ideas and stories that seemed to come out of nowhere. Watching the two of them together was pretty entertaining to say the least.
They started giving us some background on their relationship and the plan for the wedding. They met each other at Jacob's Camp in Utica, Mississippi a few years ago. They were both working at the summer camp, and one night they decided to go to the tennis courts to look at the stars. From that night on the tennis courts things took off, and a few years later they came back to the spot of that first "date" to be joined together in marriage.
After hearing their story and watching them together we were hooked. We HAD to film this wedding. Aside from their awesome personalities, they had an amazing setting at Jacob's Camp that was not only beautiful, but had a deep significance to their relationship. The camp became more than a venue; it was a living character in their story.
After a few months of planning the big weekend arrived. We got geared up and made the trek up to Utica, taking winding roads that took us deep into the hills of Mississippi. We arrived at Jacob's Camp for the rehearsal dinner on Friday night, dressed in our usual wedding attire of collared shirts and dress slacks. As we drove through the camp everyone we passed was wearing football jerseys and college team t-shirts. We quickly found Anna and Nadav decked out in their custom Alabama jerseys and they explained the theme behind the rehearsal dinner was college football. They wanted everything to be light and fun, and the laid-back tailgating atmosphere was perfect (even if we were a little over-dressed). Anna also told us that instead of sentimental toasts for the dinner she and Nadav informed all of the guests to ROAST them (keeping with the fun-times theme).
The friends and family did not disappoint. One after another they took the stage and poked fun at Nadav and Anna's newfound love of PDA, the crazy differences in their personalities, and a few jokes were cracked about being in the woods in Mississippi. It was a hilarious experience, and everyone in the room got a good dose of Anna and Nadav's personalities (and their infectious laughter). It was seriously one of our favorite events we've ever covered.
The next day was equally amazing. Jacob's Camp was transformed into a beautiful setting for the wedding festivities. Nadav and Anna got ready a couple hundred yards from each other, and despite the fact that he NEVER wears a suit, Nadav was ready to roll ahead of schedule. There was an extra bounce in his step as he strutted around the camp in his fresh suit. Getting to see the reactions from guests when they saw Nadav was priceless.
The rest of the day flew by, and we want to leave the rest of the story for the film below. Getting to work with Anna and Nadav was a true pleasure. Watching the two of them together was so much fun, and you could see the excitement and love radiating from them all weekend. We're honored to have been a part of their wedding and we hope you have as much fun watching their story as we had creating it.

We've said that sentence hundreds of times and it never gets old. Brittney and Josh are the embodiment of that statement. From our first contact with them all the way to this very day they have been an amazing couple. During our first Skype meeting it was pretty obvious they had a great chemistry together; their fun-loving personalities seemed to bounce off of one another in a constant stream of giggles and laughter. We could tell that they were going to be a fun couple to work with, and as the wedding day approached our excitement grew.
About a week before the wedding we sent out our usual questionnaire about the wedding day. It really helps us with the logistics of the wedding day like locations, times and all of those important details, but it also gives us a feel for the personalities of the couple. Usually we get pretty straight-laced responses to the questions, but Josh had other plans. Here are some of our favorite answers from Josh:
(THAT'S how you answer a wedding questionnaire!!)
The day of the wedding was an absolute BLAST! Everyone was so welcoming and relaxed it really didn't feel like a typical wedding day. Brittney was cracking jokes while everyone was getting ready, and there was a great energy in the room. I couldn't believe how laid back everything was. But things got a little more emotional when Brittney read her letter to Josh. She claimed she wasn't very emotional, but that proved to be slightly inaccurate.
Brittney taking break from laughing and joking to "get all emotional and stuff"
As the day went on we got to watch Brittney and Josh interact and it was amazing. When they are in the room together you can't help but be amused at their playfulness and excitement. They are constantly smiling, giggling, poking and just enjoying each others company. Their energy is contagious, and it brings a smile to everyone around them.
Sometimes the first dance can be a little nerve-wracking with everyone watching. Not for these guys. We're pretty sure they didn't notice a single person there.
Getting to know Brittney and Josh has been a great experience, and we're so thankful to have been a part of their wedding day. We're super stoked on their film below; it was a beautiful day filled with amazing people, which is what it's all about in the end. Congrats Brittney and Josh!!!
