After a couple of months, we finally picked a date to shoot and we were all ready to roll! Initially, Chris was going to shoot the video with his super awesome camera but instead, had a friend who is equally awesome do the filming. David Karger was our videographer for the day and he is amazing!
We filmed the video on what could have been one of the hottest days this summer! A lot of sweat, strategic planning, and smiles went into this day! Chris and Dave ventured to downtown Flowery Branch to scope out locations while Ryan and I perfected the signs used in the video. Chris and Dave found an abandoned cabinet warehouse that was perfect! It was rustic, full of character and had just enough light. We shot some of the video outside of the warehouse and some inside. It was hot as hades in that building...nothing but stiff air! Chris and Dave didn't let that bother them though, the sweat was pouring and they kept on filming and thinking creatively! Can't say enough great things about those boys!
We filmed most of the video in downtown Flowery Branch. We filmed at the railroad tracks, under a beautiful tree and on a corn field. The corn field was my favorite spot! This little old man owned the field and he was just precious! He allowed us to use his property and loved it! His only request was that we didn't "shuck any of the corn". ha! Oh and the beautiful frames you see in the corn field scene? Chris and Dave rented from a local antique store! :)
After we filmed at the corn field we went to Ryan and I's new neighborhood and filmed at the lake and pool! We got to the neighborhood right at sunset...it could not have been timed any better! It is special to me that we have our new hometown and neighborhood in this video! It is where our lives will officially start together! :)
The best part of this whole Save The Date weekend (aside from the outcome of the video) was spending time with The Green family! Chris, Katie, Bella and Farrah all spent the night on Friday and Saturday we got up, packed lunches and headed to the pool! It was so much fun!
Lastly- If you have ANY video needs, you need to contact Dave Karger of Atlanta Cinematic! He will fulfill all of your visions and beyond!In addition to his creative work he works fast! Our first look at the video was sent to us within a couple days! Check out his website, there you can find video posts of some of his other work!
