Earlier this spring, out of the blue, we received the coolest card in the mail from Sarah & Carter. Sarah had come across a greeting card of a vintage film camera, which reminded her of our new logo. So, they sent it to us with a note of congratulations on our baby news! Philip and I were so blown away by the thoughtfulness of this gesture. It is just a glimpse into the nature of this couple, and made us so happy we’d get to document the day they’d get married.
Sarah & Carter were married at the Carolina Inn, right in the center of Chapel Hill, on the campus of UNC. After a quick downpour just an hour before the wedding, the sun decided to make an appearance in time for the courtyard ceremony and photo shoot at the Forest Theater on campus. The rest of the day was a perfectly blend of reflection and festivity for the couple, their friends, and families.
S&C: Thank you for allowing us to join you for such a special day in your lives! We have no doubt you two will be completely happy together for years to come. We’ll look forward to seeing you at Kim & Joey’s wedding in October, if not sooner!

First, can I just say that I think there should be a hora dance at each and every wedding? Seriously. It was so hard for me NOT to be swept into the circle of dancing at Terri & Jake’s joyful Carolina Inn wedding reception. We LOVED filming this part of the event because the excitement and celebration was truly contagious. The entire wedding was that way, really! This was our first time filming a Jewish wedding and we were so intrigued by the various traditions and customs Terri & Jake chose to incorporate into their “Kentucky meets South African” wedding celebration.
Rev. Barbara Lodge - What a FUN video! You really caught the feel of the day and I’m so glad you used Will’s reading – he did such a caring, marvelous job.
You guys are just so good at what you do – Sarah and Carter must love this!
Meredith - This was such a fun wedding film! I loved seeing a few familiar faces too!
admin - Thanks, Emily and Kim! That’s why we love the couples we work with: they notice the little details. It makes it so worth it. Can’t wait for the two of YOU to get in front of the camera (Kim, you’ve already had a practice run…)!
Kim - Yay yay! I love this video:) It is so sweet and really captures Carter and Sarah well. And Sarah looks so beautiful! As usual, amazing work by you two. Can’t wait to see you in October!
Em - So sweet! I love that you included the shot of them wiping off the chairs – it’s those “imperfect” details that will help them remember the day as it really happened! Their reader also did an amazing job, and I love that the best man squeezed the groom’s shoulder as Sarah was walking in – so sweet!
