kirstin - Great job Heidi. I love these videos…

Crystal - AMAZING! Where were you when I got married?! These two are going to treasure this forever.

mary mayer - I really really love this, I especially like the still shots mixed in. Maybe even more of them… I will give a small critique that the live voice of the vows stopped the flow a bit for me. But it is a beautiful memory of the day for the couple and all who attended.

Jenny - Absolutely gorgeous!! Beautiful way to tell the story, just amazing.
