Millstone at Adams Pond Wedding Movie

Millstone at Adams Pond was an amazing venue for an outdoor wedding.  Bright yellow Sun shining through the Spanish moss, bubbles swimming through the air, and people who truly care about each other made for an amazing day.

From the moment I drove through the gate at Millstone at Adams Pond, I knew this was going to be a beautiful wedding film.  This historic location was an inspiration for me as I set out to create a wedding movie worthy of such a spectacular setting.  I was especially excited to break out my drone and get a bird's-eye view of the expansive property.  With so much open space, I was able to fly my drone and record footage that provided a unique perspective.

One of my favorite parts of this wedding was the tea ceremony that took place after Sue and Arnim said their I dos.  I'd never seen or filmed a couple participate in anything like it.  It was a very intimate scene and thankfully I had just enough space in the room to capture the essence of the time-honored tradition.  I kept my distance so that I did not interfere with the ceremony, but got just close enough to film such an important part of their day.

Finally, in the waning minutes of the reception, something really special took place.  With 'We Are the World' playing over the speakers, Sue grabbed the mic and shared her mother's perspective on what it means to be a loving human being.  As the music continued, the remaining wedding guests formed a circle around Sue and Arnim, who then went around and hugged every single person.  Eventually, the two met back up and shared a hug with one lucky guest. You can even hear someone saying how they wanted that moment.  Good thing I captured it on camera for everyone to see.

This Wedding took place at The Millstone at Adams Pond in Columbia, SC, 5301 Bluff Road, 29209.
