Sherry & Steve Client Success Story
Meet Sherry & Steve
This wonderful couple chose Carole & Joshua for their wedding day media needs, wedding photography, and wedding videography.
Today, we’re going to chat with Sherry about her wedding at The Kyle House and her experience with us.
Hi Sherry, thank you for taking the time to chat with me and the readers today.
So, how married life with you and Steve?
For us, while our day to day life hasn’t changed all that much, there is a very special feeling waking up beside your soul mate each morning and knowing you are husband and wife.
We cherish our love each an every day and our relationship has never felt like work and marriage is the same for us. It’s amazing.
Your wedding was amazing even through all the COVID restrictions and whatnot in place, can you talk about what you had to go through with changes for the day?
When we started our search for vendors and locations, COVID wasn’t even heard of.
Our plans included 150 plus guests, a night filled with fun and laughter and most importantly dedicating our lives to each other in front of our family and friends.
Once the pandemic hit, we had to decide on whether we changed the date or proceed on as planned knowing in the end it may be a very small and intimate wedding vs. what our visions of the perfect wedding was.
We decided of course, the most important thing was having our immediate family and family that we are blessed with that are truly our best of friends by our side.
There were multiple edits in the last month due to different restrictions and guidance from the venue as well as our wedding planner but we never lost focus on what we had decided on earlier in the year.
Our wedding did become intimate and small but in the end, it was perfect and we wouldn’t change a thing.
The most amazing thing for us, all of our friends and family were able to take part in our special day due to the live stream and video that you and Carole were able to provide.
We cherish that our family and friends stayed safe but were able to be there with us virtually.
Speaking of your day, can you describe how the wedding went in your own mind, I know for most couples, it went by too quickly for them.
Perfect and unique, come to mind.
While the day did go by quickly, I took every single moment in and ensured that I stayed in the moment so the memories would be with me for a lifetime.
It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of it all and forget to cherish each moment but you truly have to focus on the moment you are in and stay there so those memories are there forever.
I wanted to ask you about your experience with Carole and me, what drew you to our business in the first place and what did you enjoy about working with us?
You both have an amazing personality by being laid back and dedicated to the couples you are working with.
We first found you on Facebook, and reviewed many different videos and pictures of previous clients that were raving about their experience with you both.
For us, the deciding factor was our initial contact with you.
We had many questions that you answered quickly and thoroughly but also answered questions we might not have thought to ask.
One thing we also loved, was your responsiveness each and every time we asked a question, needed guidance or recommendations for vendors along the way.
Within minutes of us emailing you, you were always there for us.
For the readers, could you talk a bit about the overall process that we offer and what you thought of it?
The process from start to finish was seamless.
We reached out for pricing as well as questions we had. Your responsiveness was top notch. Pricing was competitive but extremely affordable for what was being offered.
The payment program was exactly what we were needing and looking for.
For us, one of the best parts of the process was the individual letters we wrote to each other.
It took time, reflection and introspection for us to articulate our feelings but that pause was so very much needed during such a crazy time in our life of planning, work and family.
We also decided to read our own letters to each other during the recording of the video and did not share our letters until the final video was ready for viewing.
For us, this was such an amazing gift to each other a few weeks after the wedding. We cried together as we heard our own voice speaking to each other on video.
I typically ask most clients, if you could give advice to a bride out there whos going through their own wedding planning process, what would that be?
Patience, focus on each other and what the wedding truly means to you as a couple, and forget any idea of what perfect looks like.
In the end, perfect is being together celebrating your love, and sharing that love with friends and family.
Is there anything that you would have changed about the day if you could go back and do it again?
Not one thing...
Just a couple more questions for you Sherry, with Carole’s images that she took for your wedding day, could you describe her style, the way she worked with you, and do you have a couple of favorites that you liked the most?
Carole was so very reassuring, thoughtful and helpful with making recommendations of different shots that we might have thought about.
Some of my favorite shots are of Steve and I during the first look, in the garden and with my maids of honor and brides maids while getting ready.
We have so many amazing shots, that we are struggling to decide on which we want to showcase in our home.
Finally, was all the planning, the stress, and the planning worth having the wedding day?
Absolutely, we would not change a thing.
