So I guess ill start at the very beginning of my wedding preparation. I was engaged for 2 years and for the 1st year my husband didnt even want to hear about a videographer. It sim...ply just wasn’t in our budget. I knew from being in many weddings that a videographer was not a NEED for most but more of a WANT. I on the other hand thought of it more as a need. I needed something to look back on at anypoint to hear my loved ones voices, to see them smile and laugh, to feel their happiness on our happiest day. Although my photographer was out of the this world amazing and captured images I never thought possible, I knew a video would capture something a picture simply could not. Emotion.
The problem was that are budget was not going to budge and let’s face it, weddings are expensive &open bars are a NEED at weddings. Thankfully, Lauren is apart of my life. On occasion, over my 2 year engagement, Lauren would listen to me complain about my hubby to be and how the word “no” all of sudden entered his vocabulary, especially when it came to our wedding. She kindly told me about Kindred Couture and if we had a change of mind about a videographer to let her know. I desperately wanted to say YES because I knew how talented both she and her husband, Kevin, were.I gave her our date and told her I would try to convince Clay. Months went by and Lauren texted me to ask if I was still possibly interested. People were inquiring about my wedding date (obviously, they’re amazing) and needed to know what she should do. So obviously the responsible and devoted wife that I am said, YES! WE WANT YOU. Well going home to tell my fiance that I agreed to a videographer w/out getting his input was not my finest moment but w/e. After explaining to him that I NEEDED them and that Lauren would also be doing the hair and makeup for my bridal party (he loves a good deal) he finally said fine, but I was responsible for paying for it. Thankfully, Lauren set me up on a payment plan. I was able to text her every couple weeks to authorize a payment. Fast forward to my wedding day. Lauren, Kevin and an assistant arrived to my venue the night before to ensure a prompt time. All were ahead of schedule the day of and were so great to work with. My photographer had worked with my venue in the past so he took lead, Kevin was extremely professional and worked so well with the photographers. Lauren joined Kevin after finishing glam and was a rockstar throughout the day. Dont get me wrong, Kevin was “the man” (as my husband would say) but as a bride, Lauren knew exactly what to say to make me feel comfortable in front of a the camera, she modeled and suggested poses and kept me sane throughout the day. Plus she walked around with a makeup belt to keep me looking beautiful after many drinks and lots of dancing! HUGE PERK when working with this company! Finally came the after party, Lauren and Kevin joined us as guests. Little did we know our after party would turn into such an insane dance party w/ half dressed people dancing on top of the bar screaming our favorite songs! Instead of Lauren & Kevin being mortified, Kevin ran to his car and grabbed his camera. When the party saw the camera we all went nuts. How cool is that? They captured footage that most of us wouldnt even remember the next day. It was awesome. I could not be more pleased with Kindred Couture and if you were to ask my husband now, he would say Kindred Couture was a NEED for our wedding. I LOVE being right!
