Filming this wedding as a Super 8 wedding videographer at Velvet Letter Cinema Co was such a joy to experience. The pastel hues of the bridesmaids’ dresses, their Spring floral bouquets, and the vibrant green foliage of the Historic Brookstown Inn wedding venue were truly stunning to see!

Lydia and Quinn describe themselves as “old souls” – from the little details of a handwritten note for every guest, to wearing her mother’s wedding dress, I was in awe of these two and their love for those around them. It was evident that capturing their day on film from the 1960s would add a sentimental touch to their celebration.

Rooted in Memory: A Brookstown Inn Wedding Story

The Brookstown Inn was the perfect venue for this wedding due to its sentimental value in the couple’s lives; for every summer, Lydia’s father would bring her whole family up from Georgia and all the way to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, to spend their vacations there.

A beautiful Southern town with historic charm, Lydia wanted to pay a nod to her childhood, reuniting their family there once again.

“Well, as Lydia always says, ‘sometimes you have to have dessert first!’” Her father exclaimed while officiating their ceremony. And in Lydia fashion, the couple chose to begin their unity ceremony by cutting their petite chocolate cake.

Meaningful Details That Defined Their Brookstown Inn Wedding Day

For their catering, they chose a spaghetti dinner, the meal of choice at the gathering where Lydia & Quinn first met. Each wedding detail was intentionally curated around this couple’s love story and their loved ones. These two were filled with pure joy and excitement to be with one another, a sense of whimsy that will continue to invigorate the rest of their lives.
