Lindsey,
I have so many good memories because with you, it’s about time I returned the favor.
Our careers started around the same time and in that timeframe it would be impossible to remember every gig - but I never forget the ones with you. You make everyone work a little harder, dig a little deeper, think a little more and just be a heightened version of themself; because that is what you do. Your focus, your confidence, your commitment is something only found in the best of us. A personality like yours isn’t made for settling so despite never meeting Amanda until yesterday I knew she would be an exceptional human. Caring, hilarious, focused but not taking anything too seriously - a pleasure to be around.
I was so happy to be a part of your day, I never thought I would be there. Rewind eight years to our first job together, I assumed I would be just another pain in the ass wedding vendor that drove your boss crazy. Not in the deepest recesses of my imagination did I think I would have a friend for life. I love you buddy, thanks for all the memories and congratulations!
Will
BACKSTORY:
Lindsey didn’t know anything going into this wedding day. She just knew she was getting married and her amazing boss, my friend, the incomparable Amy Jones of Amy Champagne Events was planning the whole thing. Amy got Lindsey’s dream roster of wedding vendors together and gave her the best wedding possible in this time of constant uncertainty. I know Lindsey was happy we were all there but like I said in my note to Lindsey, we were all honored to be there for her.

Carrie’s show stopper of a floral display was the inspiration for construction of the entire video!
I got a little quirky with my approach to this video. Carrie’s stunning rainbow gradient flower display inspired me to construct the video as such. Subtle nods to the rainbow gradient pattern are used throughout the whole video.
The stills from the first section highlight this. Subtle - but the scene goes from red, orange and yellow tones, to green, to blue and indigo, then violet tones in the shadows; and this pattern repeats itself throughout the video.
Cheers - Will
