High School Sweethearts | Houston, Texas wedding film at The Corinthian

|| Copyright, PenWeddings ||
Kelly and Chase have waited a long time to be married. High school sweethearts, they've been together nine years! So you can imagine what a celebration it was. These two, as well as their friends and family, know how to have a good time. All weekend they were smiling and laughing, from the fun rehearsal dinner and beautiful ceremony to an absolutely amazing reception at The Corinthian in downtown Houston. Keely Thorne Events designed a stunner, complete with chandeliers and flowers hanging from the ceiling. Top it all off with not one but two confetti blasts, and you surely have a night to remember.

just, long enough. but I felt like I was there and know them..such a fine line to tell the story, the story telling in audio..yes! Not my fave color grade but that's all subjective anyway

[@PenWeddings]

Thanks Brent! Input is always appreciated. We've been trying some different things with grading lately.

So great! What type of mic set up do you have to record the ceremony or toasts??

[@PenWeddings]

Thanks Davison! We use lav mics on the couple and officiant, a couple of recorders throughout the room for ambient sound, and a recorder getting a feed from the church/band/DJ sound board whenever possible.

Awesome work. Can I ask where you download the song" Dream Like a Fire"? Thanks:)

[@PenWeddings]

We licensed the song through SongFreedom.com

[@erfolg697]

If I get married to my high school crush it would be so weird and cool

[@fionamahit7884]

awesome wedding and Congratulations ... I married my high school sweet heart too ;)

[@KKS1987]

great video

[@PenWeddings]

Thank you!!

[@dablet]

usually, how long is the final video delivered to the client?

[@PenWeddings]

It just depends on which creative edit they select, we offer different lengths of films. Most do the highlight, as seen here.

[@ninac.5921]

Weird question but if she was a junior and he was a sophomore why were they in the same chemistry class? However.. Really beautiful video and couple!

[@PenWeddings]

Thank you! Not sure the answer for them, but when I was in high school there were several classes that combined grades.

[@rachelrubio3276]

Nina C. my highschool has multiple different classes that combine grades mainly only science and math classes not english

[@lexiereyes3528]

What song is it that starts at 2:45 ? 😍

[@hay7662]

"Dream like a fire"

[@icysnow57cold64]

I don't think the romantic type of love is special. And I am started to think that the romantic type of love isn't real. I mean about more than half of romantic couples either break up with each other or divorce each other, while most platonic best friends remain friends until death. I think that having a platonic best friend is a lot better than having a romantic partner or spouse is. Having someone who's like a sibling to you is a lot better than having a romantic partner or spouse. Also, you are more likely to be much more closer to someone who's like a brother or sister to you than you would be with a romantic partner or spouse. People tend to fight with their partner or spouse a lot more than they do with a platonic best friend, and you never fight with your best friend the way you fight with your partner or spouse. Partners and spouses are just temporary. If you break up or divorce them, it's hard to go back to them. With your platonic best friend, you're going to make things work, because they are your best friend, they are your go to partner. It's always easier to make amends with them than it is with a romantic partner or spouse. Romantic relationships are pointless, while platonic relationships are necessary.
