An Officer & A Lady [Austin + Rachel] from Northernlight Filmworks on Vimeo.

FOR OPTIMAL VIEWING, PRESS PLAY AND THEN PAUSE AND ALLOW FILM TO LOAD, THEN PRESS PLAY.

We had a memorable time getting to know Austin and Rachel. As Austin described himself to me, it was city boy meets country girl. Austin is in the United States Navy and is a pilot. Rachel is from a small rural community where everyone knows everyone. It was quite evident that family and close friends are important parts of their lives. We had met with Austin and Rachel a couple times before the wedding to just learn more about them and their family. I remember walking into the restaurant and Rachel said hi to a couple people as we walked in. We sat down in the booth and her close relatives happened to be next to us in another booth. I loved this. This is what many of us are missing, myself included. Connected communities like this are what many people never get to experience. I remember thinking that those types of encounters reminded me of when I was a kid and you just seemed to always bump into people you knew. The dinner we had with Austin and Rachel really allowed us to experience a bit of that romance and nostalgia and helped us wrap our head around how we would shoot and edit the film.

We enjoyed once again working with Janie of Alanna Photography.

Jay & Lauren from Northernlight Filmworks on Vimeo.

This was a wedding we filmed for Lauren and Jay. The wedding was held at Northwood Christian Church in Indianapolis, IN. The reception was at one of our favorite venues, the Grand Ballroom at Union Station. We worked again with Janie of Alanna Photography and always enjoy working throughout the day with her. We enjoyed observing and documenting the day for Lauren and Jay. Jay’s father was caught a little off guard during his speech as his sons life flashed before him. We love candid authentic moments like that. We weaved the speeches throughout this film to add some texture and depth. The reception ballroom was beautifully decorated and the party was kept alive by DJ Brian Whitis. Always a pleasure to work with him.
