I am so embarrassed that I haven’t called or e-mailed you about the film yet. I don’t know why people call getting married “settling down”, I feel like life is speeding up and the weeks and months keep flying by.
I can’t thank you enough for the beautiful film My Wedding Film created for Steve and I. We are just in love with it. I am surprised we haven’t worn the cd out yet with how much we play it!!! MWF is the first thing we talk about to everyone we come across that is planning a wedding. The whole experience was great and every person on your staff that we have had the pleasure of working with is wonderful.
Originally Steve and I hated the idea of a wedding film. The only ones we had ever seen were from the 90’s and made weddings seem so boring and unflattering. We are both obsessed with photography and knew that we would be spending a big part of our budget on making sure our wedding was photographed exactly how we wanted. When we found Darby Elizabeth we were in heaven. Darby is such a warm and wonderful person and we had a blast doing our engagement photo shoot with her. The more we worked with Darby Elizabeth Studios the more I kept coming in contact with My Wedding Film Studios. I quickly fell in love with MWF’s style of films and how they seemed to capture every little moment of these special days and then translate them in to interesting and artsy films. My favorite film on the website was the little accessory film was the Super 8 film to the song “Float On”. When I showed it to Steve he flipped for it as well and we knew we had to have one of these mini films. MWF was so nice and worked with us to come up with a special package that consisted of a short film shot with the 8 mm and about a hour of filming time. This would now let us have a film that fit in our budget and was actually cool and fun to watch.
I think it was 2 weeks before the wedding that I had a very sleepless night and kept thinking that we were making a huge mistake by not having a full wedding film. I expressed my worries to my mom, who immediately told me she felt the same way and wanted to gift Steve and I a film from MWF as our wedding present from her and my dad. Lucky our date was still open and instead of being punished for booking on such short notices we actually got a discount!!! During the wedding the MWF crew was very professional and allowed Steve and I, along with all the other guests and wedding party, to be ourselves and not feel nervous. The only thing better than the great service was the great product that MWF gave us. The film is amazing and has made many people tear up, laugh out loud, and ask to watch it again and again.
Steve and I love our wedding photography. All of the beautiful photo we have from DE will be cherished keep sakes for the rest of our lives. The pictures capture all of these wonderful intimate and detailed moments that I have been looking forward to for as long as I can remember. We look forward to hanging them in our home and sharing our albums with our children and children’s children. That being said, I can not stress enough that while the photos capture these wonderful little moments and our wedding perfectly…it is the film that captures the FEEL of the wedding. When you watch the film, whether you are the bride, groom, part of the family, or just a guest, it is like getting to relive the night all over again. You actually feel like you are back at the wedding. I can feel the nerves, the weather, the music, the atmosphere…everything about that day has been perfectly preserved on to this film and I am so thankful that we were smart enough to have it made and have it made by MWF.
Thank you so much for everything. We are so happy with our film and wouldn’t change anything about it!!! And don’t worry, I am already dreaming up other films we could work with you on in the future like… “A Little Baby Film: Welcoming baby home”…it could be really fun and cute!!!
Lots of Love,
Summer and Steve Cowley
