What Exactly is Documentary Style? (T&Q)

You’ve scrolled past it on Netflix. You’ve read articles talking about it. But what is documentary style film-making and why does it make sense for your wedding? In this episode of Thoughts and Questions, we walk you through what it all means and how it works.

Cheers! Jimmy + Steph

This Place

Towards the beginning of our relationship, Jimmy and I started a National Parks bucket list. We set a goal in which we must visit all 58 National Parks, and camp there if possible. Another rule is that we must drive to said parks, although we might have to bypass that rule when it comes to Alaska and Hawaii! Anyways, we have an upcoming trip out west (hoping to knock out a few more on our bucket list!!) and I thought I'd share a little film we made from our trip last year.

Map It Out

When Jimmy and I first got engaged, we knew we wanted a small wedding. Many of our past couples have told us that if given the chance to do it all over again, they too would plan small weddings, so we took their advice and decided to have a destination! :) We had heard of people having larger receptions a few weeks after their destination weddings so the people who could not attend would still get to join in the festivities. I loved this idea!...Except for one small detail. After the wedding the only thing we want to think about is the honeymoon, haha! So we planned a pre-wedding bash instead!

I can't even describe to you how excited I am! What better way to celebrate with your closest friends and family than to host a lakeside BBQ on a beautiful summer day?! Or at least I hope it's beautiful!!! All of you summer brides out there know what I'm talking about! :)

Anyways, as soon as we set the date, I got to work designing our invitations. We wanted our travel themed wedding ideas to be present at our big bash as well so I tried to come up with a design that represented our theme.

One super cool idea that I got from a few of our past couples was marriage advice cards. Your guests write down their most valued marriage advice so you can refer to it later or apply it to your marriage right from the start! advice cards _AA_1070-7

That's it for this week!
