Stephen and Christyn . Couples Story from Nathan Pickett on Vimeo.

Stephen and Christyn remind me of why it is important to record the details of the story while they are still fresh with emotion and meaning. Also, for the first time had the couple tell their story while sitting next to each other on camera at the same time. Would love to hear what you think! Enjoy-

Mindy & Brad // Nauvoo Temple from Nathan Pickett on Vimeo.

When editing Brad and Mindy's wedding at the Nauvoo Temple; it occurred to me how deeply moving Brad's love was for his wife.  No doubt the love they shared was obvious on the wedding day.  However, as I listened to the words he was saying during the luncheon that followed, as he described the Lord paving a way for him to meet his wife Mindy; I was so moved that I created the video around it.  Let me know what you think ~Nate

Tiffany & Corbin // Saint Lucia Wedding Highlight from Nathan Pickett on Vimeo.

Tiffany and Corbin were married at one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.  These really great people enjoyed an intimate destination wedding that would be hard to top.  For me, this beautiful wedding was really a unique experience to be a part of.  Loved working with Gideon Photography who was there capturing the photos and did an amazing job as well.  Click here to see the stills he captured as featured on the wedding blog Style Me Pretty.  ~Nate

UBB . Summer Inspiration . 2013 from Nathan Pickett on Vimeo.

Inspiration shoots offer a unique opportunity to try new things.  Some of these attempts succeed more than others and hopefully there are things that brides will see and truly be inspired by for their own weddings.  However; it is a reminder to never stay complacent.  And for me a way to push the way I tell and show the story of human emotion.  Especially when those humans are two models that barely know each other :)  ~Nate
