Lila and Alex | First United Methodist Church Wedding

“We will literally have friends and family from all over the world tuning in for the livestream” Lila says to me as we discussed their wedding day plans. They not only hired us for their wedding photography, but also hired us for a new offering of LLP; live streaming the ceremony so others who can’t attend can still watch from it in the moment from afar! Which, I can go into more detail later, but briefly, we are able to not only livestream an event, but also record it and include thumbnails of the viewers as they watch the ceremony, and the comments that they make during it.

It shouldn’t have surprised me, but it was incredibly touching to connect Lila and Alex’s friends and family with them on their wedding day. People from all over America, England, France, and even Lebanon tuned in to the live stream to watch Lila and Alex say their “I Dos.”

While Alex was waiting for the ceremony to begin, I pointed him to take a look at the livestream on our computer, and he was able to see and talk to his viewers on the spot. After the ceremony, both Lila and Alex said some words to them, also. A day following the ceremony, Lila texted me to tell me that she cried (happy tears) when she watched the recording of the live stream, and that she got to see her uncle who lives in Lebanon watch and react to their ceremony. I also watched the recording of the live stream, and not even knowing the viewers, got teary-eyed when I thought how incredibly special it is to have a recording of your live streamed ceremony to look back on for the rest of your life.

On top of being absolutely kind, generous, and gracious, Lila and Alex are a model couple to take pictures of! Lila chose to wear her mother’s wedding dress and veil that day; she was absolutely stunning! And can we talk about their precious Pomeranian, Penelope?! A.) She has the most precious pink-colored tail (animal safe dye), and, B.) I begged my parents for a Pomeranian when I was little and never was allowed one, so I am super envious of this precious pup!

Theirs was a perfect day, and they ended it with an intimate dinner at Altius (my favorite restaurant!)
