The Cliffs at Glassy Chapel Wedding Movie

You'd be hard pressed to imagine a more picturesque location for a wedding.  When this awesome couple told me where their wedding would take place (The Cliffs at Glassy Chapel) near Greenville, SC, I couldn't wait to get started.  Honestly, the first thing that popped in my head was...this drone footage is gonna be sweet!  Definitely my favorite part, however, was singing 'Don't Stop Believing' while the bride and groom high-fived the audience at this Cliffs at Glassy Chapel wedding.

I want a wedding re-do!  After watching Brian and Jillian have so much fun at their big day, I want to go back and steal some of their ideas.  Back when my wife and I got hitched, it was still a little taboo to let loose during your wedding ceremony.  Not these days!  Brian and Jillian created the coolest moment at the end of their ceremony.  After the 'I dos' and the rings were exchanged, it was go time.  Brian grabbed the mic, told everyone to locate their lyrics, and the rest is history.  He and Jillian walked around The Cliffs at Glassy Chapel wedding, hand-in-hand, singing 'Don't Stop Believing' while the string band played the music behind them.  Talk about a cool way to get your guests involved.  No stuffy, boring wedding atmosphere for them.  The energy they created in the chapel poured right over to the reception at The Cliffs at Glassy clubhouse down the mountain.

I couldn't write a post about this amazing Cliffs at Glassy Chapel wedding without mentioning the stunning drone footage.  It had only been a few weeks since I'd purchased my drone when I arrived in Greenville, SC for this wedding, and to this day it is still my favorite drone footage.  But let's face it, The Cliffs at Glassy Chapel has a major unfair advantage.  Standing on the side of that mountain, I was able to fly my drone far out into the abyss, almost until it was out of sight.  If not for the video feed on my controller, I would have been flying blind.  Once I reached a dramatic distance from the chapel, I began to slowly fly the drone back towards the mountain.  Little by little, the approach made for an awesome intro for this Cliffs at Glassy Chapel wedding movie.
