I mentioned before that we would be DIYing our wedding video. Bridesmaid Stacie’s sweet husband Kurt was awesome enough to volunteer to be our videographer. We had a tripod, an HD camera my mom gifted me (for her baby Sand Dollars she is convinced will be along ASAP) and a Macbook to get it done. I used iMovieHD to edit everything, and burned a super cute DVD using iDVD. Seriously, it’s awesome! We have chapters and music and menus, and it’s mega cool!
I was a little worried that it would turn out to be super cheesy, but it really is pretty cute! Yes, it looks like a home video. No, it doesn’t make it any less awesome in my eyes.
My mom was right when she said I’d want to see those little moments again. I love that I literally bounced up and down to dance with my friend Christian during the dollar dance. I love hearing our ceremony, watching us cut cake, the whole shebang. I edited a “full-length” video that’s 30 minutes long, and includes the entire aisle walking, ceremony, dances and tosses. For some reason we didn’t get any of us driving away, but that’s OK. Here I’m going to share my 7 minute highlight video, so you can see just how country-chic we cowboys kick it down here. Enjoy!
You did a great job! Video editing is so hard cause you hate to cut out anything. 
So jealous! I was going to do something similar, but my Dad forgot to turn on the camera for the ceremony. Now it’s all in my head, which I do love, and I can edit out the bad parts from my memory.
awesome! 
I love how frightened all the girls were by the bouqet. I’ve seen that happen at some many weddings with the guys and girls.
Sad it’s grainy! 
It’s the best I could export from iMovie. Promise in real life it’s clear and awesome!
Beautiful!!! Your bouquets looked awesome in action. And I love me some Lady A!
@CTS: Actually, both songs are by Little Big Town 
Great job on editing your own video! You are too cute as you bounce around after cutting your cake
I LOVE THIS! and I love that it’s home-made. It makes it more ‘real’ somehow. Just pure, and full of love!
that was the sweetest video! I love the home movie style - it makes me way more confident that my fiance’s crazy idea of doing our own video will actually turn out.
I love it and I want one just like it. I didn’t hire a professional videographer - partly because of the expense, but mostly because I don’t like the idea of a guy with a big camera shadowing me all night - but I totally want someone to capture these moments. And I agree that it’s so much more real and natural this way! Nice job.
love it. I’m hoping to do something like this as well but with a mix of video and stills.
Mrs. SD, I cannot say enough how much I love your wedding!!! I love the home movie look, it completes the diy look of your wedding! Everyone looks relaxed and like they are having so much fun, I can only hope for my wedding to turn out the same!
SO beautiful! A friend of ours took video during the ceremony, but missed the part when we all walked up the aisle…I think my brother got it though, but I am still waiting to see the video.
Oh my goodness, I love your wedding! And I’m also totally inspired by this video - can’t afford a videographer and was hoping to do a mash-up with my HD cam and some iPhone footage. You’ve totally assuaged my fears about missing out!
WAY too cute, SD! It’s absolutely perfect and I’m SO jealous of your dance moves! Your twirls in that dress are incredible!
Awww this is SO GREAT!!!! I loved watching the video. Your dancing looks like SO MUCH FUN! I am jealous of your skills. And your first dance totally reminds me of Hope Floats…Mr. SD looks really great in that hat!
It turned out so cute Mrs. SD!!! I just love it. You two are adorable when you’re exchanging your vows and it looked like so much fun out there on the dance floor.
Wow, I have never seen a western style wedding. It looks like so. much. fun! I love the dancing and the music was great

We're having a big-time party on a small-time budget, and I promise to show you a boot-scootin', barbecue-eatin', finger-lickin' good time! Mr. Sand Dollar and I spend most of our time on DIY projects or traipsing around the outdoors with our two pooches Rory and Juno. I'm looking forward to sharing our journey with all of you!
