I am excited to share with my blogging friends the full-length version of Alex’ Titleholder Farewell Video. Let me just say this: Alex was so amazing to work with. Not only did she provide for me more than enough material to work with, but because of her 3,000+ hours of community service, she had no problem articulating what her years of service meant to her:

👇Watch her full length video below!👇

Alex, I truly hope this video serves as a reminder of how amazing you are. I hope that you will be able to look back with this video and reflect on this wonderful chapter of your life that has forever impacted not only YOUR world, but those God brought into your life that you were able to encounter on a daily basis.

You made a difference, and you made an eternal impact – don’t ever forget that. ♥

PART V: Video (+ Photo) Highlights

– Wedding Day Trailer –

Produced by "The Story is Told"

Ok. I am pretty stoked about this, so before I start tearing-up, it is my pleasure to present to you this amazing trip down memory lane...

Ladies and gentlemen, our wedding day trailer.

Enjoy! ❤

– "Our Story" Wedding Video –

Videography – Ron Harrison | Editing – See below for THAT fun story... :'D

This video was shown during our wedding reception (see the extended story behind finalizing this video HERE). I really liked the idea of having a video that opened up about our lives: both as individuals, and our lives coming together as husband and wife. I've been to weddings where I really knew the bride, but not the groom (or vice versa), so I wanted those who may not have known either myself or Bryan very well, to get to know us a little bit more during our wonderful celebration. Enjoy!

The story behind the editing: The finished product almost didn't happen! The afternoon before the wedding (that's right...not even 24 hours before the wedding), I was at home trying to finish editing this (I know, crazy...). When I realized I just didn't have the physical strength or time to finish it, I broke down. I texted every and any videographer I knew, but came up empty-handed. Then, I got a text from a dear friend from my days at Disney, letting me know that the crew was finally in Arizona! I called her crying – telling her my situation. Trent, one of the other friends from Disney who knew the program from a graphic-designer perspective, offered to take a program he had little experience with, put his graphic design expertise to action and spent the evening editing the final portions to our video. A blessing that means the world to me (thank you, Trent)!!

– "Forever" (aka Bryan's Song) –

Videography – The Story Is Told | Song Composition – Christie Lukes

After our first dance, I surprised Bryan with a gift of song. Bryan has always told me that one of his favorite memories of me is one of the nights he came over, I sat and sang while playing the guitar...and that meant the world to him. So, when it came to giving him something on our wedding day, I decided to write him a song and perform it for him. ❤
