One of the most powerful parts of the day happened before the ceremony. Instead of sharing their vows at the altar, Kelsey and Andrew chose to read them in private. Alone with their words, each of them grew emotional as they spoke their promises out loud. It was raw, heartfelt, and added so much depth to the story of their wedding.

Later, when we wove those private vows into their film, it became the heartbeat of their story. The words carried through the rest of the day—the nerves before the ceremony, the laughter during the reception, the joy of their first dance—and gave it all even more meaning.

Their first look was just as moving. Andrew waited nervously, and when Kelsey tapped him on the shoulder, his face lit up. They laughed, hugged, and shared a quiet moment before stepping into forever.

As the evening continued, the celebration filled the mansion with energy. Family and friends gathered across the grounds, filling the night with joy, laughter, and dancing.

Behind the Lens

What stood out most wasn’t just the beauty of Lehmann Mansion—it was the honesty of Kelsey and Andrew’s connection. The private vows, the quiet moments, and the emotion that carried through the entire day gave their story a weight that felt real and lasting.

🎥 For us, the goal was simple: capture those moments honestly and weave them into a film that would let them feel it all again.

Why This Celebration Stands Out

Kelsey and Andrew’s wedding showed how powerful it can be when couples make the day their own. By reading their vows in private, they created a deeply personal chapter in their story that became the centerpiece of their memories.
