WOW! I have been dying to share this with you! But I have been trying to keep it a little bit of a secret until my new website launches. Well, I just can't contain myself any longer!! This is my promo video that the awesomely amazing and incredibly talented Joshua Smith of Cinematic Bride did for me. He is sooooo amazing! I mean, he HAS to be to make me look this good.
It was the HOTTEST day of the year when myself along with a team of 8 other people filmed this in Monroe, Louisiana. I always brag on my couples, but I mean it when I say I have the best couples in the world!!! Cary and Jacqueline and Tyler and Amanda took the day to get all dolled up and shoot with us. Sarah came down and was an amazing help, and my friend Renee Lawrence did the hair and makeup. It was soooo humid and miserably hot, but we made it through the day!
I have been wanting to shoot a video like this for a very long time. I want people to be able to see me work and feel like they know me and understand my philosophy when I shoot before they meet me. I really hope this video allows you to get to know me a little and understand why I love to do what I do! When I decided to work on a new website, it gave me the perfect excuse to take the leap and get this video together. I have poured so much of myself into this project, and I am actually VERY nervous to post it up for you to see. After A LOT of hard work and preparation...... here it is!! I hope you enjoy it!!
It may take it a minute to load, so be patient. :) I hope you think it's worth it!

Thank you for watching! Please let me and Josh know what you think! It will make our day!!! :)

Wow!! It's wonderful! I can understand why you couldn't wait to share it!
That video is really cool! I have never gotten to hire a wedding photographer :), but I can see how drawing it would be to feel like you have a connection and insight into the person you are hiring to take such important photos! The video does that job perfectly!
What a wonderful video! You look gorgeous! You should be very proud.
I LOVE YOU!

Crystal, you are such an artist. Having been one of your subjects, I KNOW. This video captures what you do so well. You do more than simply capture one moment. You attempt to tell the story your subjects have inside of them and you do it so well. Lovely.
