What really goes into creating a wedding film that makes you feel the magic all over again?

In this episode, Alex and Alison sit down with Whitney and Taylor of Bowen Films, the sister duo behind some of the most heartfelt and cinematic wedding films in the industry. They share how their father's legacy inspired their work, what couples often overlook when choosing a videographer, and why video captures emotion in ways photos can't.

• Preparation Is Everything: From backups to audio checks, professional videographers plan for every "what if."
• Communication Is Key: A great vendor team thrives on respect, transparency, and mutual understanding—no egos required.
