They met as teenagers and became fast friends. A Lakeview Wedding Couple.
When we say they became fast friends as teenagers, we don't just mean their friendship blossomed quickly! These two are actual race car drivers! Did we get footage of Paige doing burnouts in her dress.... We wish... Gravel parking lots at wedding venues aren't a good mix with race cars.
Paige has drag raced her whole life, just like her Dad! Carter quickly fell in love with the sport as well. Now, their families travel almost every weekend during the summer to different races and they both have race cars. Having made so many awesome friends through the sport, that they now get to stand by them on their wedding day. For the unity ceremony, Paige and Carter wanted to do something unique that incorporated their hobby. She said, "We are using a camlock seatbelt and each of the seatbelt clips will represent strong components of our marriage (Faith, husband, wife, family, friends)." How cool is that?
This day was special for us as a team because Ryan grew up going to the race track with his dad, not racing, just watching. There were so many fond memories associated with that so it was neat to meet a family that raced together and shoot the wedding.
Thank you so much to the newlyweds for allowing us to do what we do. For allowing us the privilege of portraying your story creatively and intricately; in the way you want to remember it and share it with others.

Chad + Morgan
We love love love intimate letters being read at the first look. Hearing Chad and Morgan share their heart with each other, and then get a little choked up is what wedding films are made of. It wouldn't be a complete without a groomsman toast about alcohol, but this one was new for us. "Respect what each other brings to the marriage, the life you live together may be difficult at times... but when all else fails, you can stay up late, drink a beer, and bang it out." This wedding day was full of laughter from the mimosas on the deck, through the big wedding party photos at the bottle house, and Lyons Pride had guests at each table get on the mic before they could be released for dinner and that provided immense laughter and epic entertainment. Thank you to the newlyweds for allowing us the privilege to capture their day and create this film.

"We broke up in junior high but no one really knows why". But nearly 10 years later after meeting again Bri says, "Guys I think I like him"
I don't know who coined the phrase "Save the best for last" and what it even was pertaining to, but I will tell you we filmed the last of the Caldwell girls wedding toward the end of 2023 and it was a party like no other! Hearing all the stories about how Justin and Bri were just always together, not really dating, but not seeing other people either, he was always the first to text her Happy Birthday at midnight, and there was always this special bond. A strong enough bond that when he missed her birthday one year, she called him out so he made it up to her by coming to the lake that next weekend with her family.
The day started off like most wedding days with hair and make up, but there was something extra going on that morning, everyone in the bridal party was given perminant jewelry from Stay Golden Co Permanent Jewelry! The day stayed on schedule and all the decor was beautiful thanks to Delight Events. Music was awesome as usual from Kevin Babb!
This day was special for us as a team because Ryan and Kimber have filmed both of Bri’s older sisters’ weddings over the past five years. It was neat to look back and see Bri give a toast at her oldest sister’s wedding and be involved in both weddings, and now get married herself.
