Vendor Spotlight: Gator Bride Videography

The wedding industry is full of vendors! When it comes to my clients and referring other vendors I am VERY selective of the vendors I support. I truly ask myself, would I personally want them at MY wedding? This is because the last thing I want is one of my brides to pull me aside at the wedding and say, “UH, MATT, WHO IS THIS DJ?????” Therefore, I rarely put a spotlight on vendors unless I support them wholeheartedly. The team below has my full recommendation. They are an incredible team and their work truly speaks for itself. I had the opportunity to work with this team at Josh & Ambers wedding. They are fantastic.

Check out Josh & Ambers Highlight Reel…

We caught a couple images of Gator Bride in action…
