Columbus Wedding Film from Poetic Cinema + Inlux Photo

November 28th. 2011 by Mallory | Filed Under | 25 comments

This Ohio couple is gorgeous. The bride is a vision in her stunning gown, and the groom looks pretty dapper himself in his black tux. But aside from that, they love they share is so obvious, so deep, so beautiful. Just wait until you see the Wedding Day Preview from Poetic Cinema. All I have to say is grab a tissue. But before we get there, I’ll warm up those tear ducts with the most amazing photos from Inlux Photo – of the bride, the groom, and the love and tears they shared on their wedding day.

Grab the tissues…

Our wedding day was a long time coming.  Donte and I had a distance relationship for seven and a half years and I couldn’t wait for the day when we would be together in one place.  I was never one of those girls who dreamed of her wedding day and imagined myself being a princess.  I did, however, wonder about the guy that I would marry and I knew early on in our relationship that Donte was the guy that I had always imagined.

The ceremony turned out to be more beautiful than expected, despite the rain earlier in the day.  When I got down to the end of the aisle I realized that Donte was crying, and then when he read his personal vows he bawled!  There wasn’t a dry eye in the house and it made for a heartfelt ceremony.

When it came time to plan, we almost immediately knew that we wanted a formal, sophisticated, black-tie affair.  I know that millions of other brides say that their theme is Old Hollywood Glamour, but after envisioning what we wanted, I immediately understood why other brides choose this theme.  When you think of Old Hollywood you almost always think classic, elegant, romantic…and we realized that this was exactly what we wanted.

We chose black, white, and soft pink since it’s a clean palette and very classically beautiful.  I knew that I wanted full tall and short centerpieces so I chose the simple combination of pink roses and hydrangeas to bring color into the reception room.  We know that black-tie usually equals lots of money, so we figured out a way to have a lot of elegant touches without the big price tag.  That meant a lot of DIY projects!

I taught myself how to use Photoshop by watching YouTube tutorials and designed all of our paper items and uploaded and printed them through Vistaprint.  I designed everything from the invitations, wedding announcement poster, dinner menus, programs, escort cards, the aisle runner, table numbers, etc.  The secret to having successful DIY projects is to start early.  My goal was to have a wedding that only looked expensive and I think we pulled that off successfully.  Our wedding day was truly one of the happiest, heartfelt days of our lives and one that we’ll never forget.

    What a truly beautiful day. I love how they let their true emotions and their love tell their story. My husband and I had a long distance relationship and I can understand that when the timing comes together to be able to be with your spouse in the same state - it is truly a blessing!

    I am fortunate to have known these two when they first started dating... Fast forward several years to their wedding and I am amazed by their love and commitment! There definitely was NOT a dry eye at the wedding. Even the photographer had to hold back the tears behind the lens. OR...Should I say, I had the same allergies Donte had that day! ;) Love you guys!

    Zakiya & Donté, you both amazed me on your wedding day. I met you Zakiya just once before your wedding, but felt like we connected well. I couldn't wait to meet Donté after seeing the look in your eyes when you talked about him :) You are a unique and special couple, and God will bless your marriage richly.

    Jarred & Heather, your work is just spectacular. You captured the raw emotion of the ceremony, the thrill of the reception, and the beauty of the details. And it was such a pleasure working with you both.

    And to everyone that complimented the preview film, thank you so very much!

    i find the Black, soft Pink, and White colors for the wedding very beautiful. Its very classy and not all over the place with bright colors. Inlux did an amazing job with taking the wedding photos. If I could give them over 10 stars of a rating i defenitly would. Like to see more from them soon.

    Dan!! Your videos are always so great but I have to say this one made me cry! I watched it for the first time Monday and found myself talking about it Tuesday at my meeting! Sorry I'm just now getting back to write a message. Amazing footage and editing, it shows you really love what you're doing. It's not all the time that you find someone as talented as you and as nice too! Keep up the good work! :)
