A WEDDING FILM
Lyndon & Brittany.
A Lifetime With You Will Never Be Enough
No pressure, right?
I’d worked alongside Lyndon filming weddings before, so getting asked to film his own was both a huge compliment and more than a little intimidating. He knew exactly how much went into making a wedding film. I even caught him checking his own microphone levels at one point. But other than that, he was completely hands-off. He and Brittany trusted me, were up for just about anything, and let me do my thing.
Lyndon was very much himself all day, and Brittany seemed entirely used to his antics. There was a best man’s speech that had everyone laughing, a moment where his friends managed to pin him to the ground and remove his pants, and a dress change before their choreographed first dance. They were so comfortable together, and so willing to have fun with everything, that it made the whole day genuinely enjoyable to film.
And then there were the moments nobody could have planned. Out by the lake, a flock of birds flew overhead at exactly the right moment while they stood together on a wooden pier. It looked like something we’d orchestrated. We hadn’t. I’m not a bird whisperer, unfortunately. Between the big cinematic shots, genuinely emotional vows, hilarious speeches and everything in between, there was a lot to bring together. I spent longer editing this one than I’d care to admit. I wanted to make something another filmmaker could be proud of, but more importantly, something that felt unmistakably like Lyndon and Brittany.
And then they watched it.
“We just watched the video and it was amazing. My cheeks are burning from trying so hard to hold back ugly tears while being filmed. You’ll probably have to “bleep” Lyndon a couple times. We cannot wait to show this off to family. That video is magical. I can’t get over the timing of the geese while on the docks. I love every second of every minute of your work and Lyndon agrees.”
“Dylan absolutely delivered! We booked him for our 2022 wedding and while our wedding video is an absolute banger, spending the day with him was equally awesome. I especially appreciate the care he puts into audio! We still watch our wedding film regularly and I'm always surprised at how awesome our speeches and vows turned out.
