Top Five Reasons to Book a Wedding Videographer | Guest Post by Emily Rusu of Jet Weddings from Youngstown, Ohio

Today on the blog is Emily Rusu of Jet Weddings. She is one half of a husband and wife team that shoots weddings here in Youngstown, Ohio. I actually met Emily YEARS ago in college, so our collaborating days go waaaaay back. We were both a part of an internship at Youngstown State University to redesign and add new content for the STEM website. Years went by after we graduated where we hadn't seen each other and then we reconnected through our local Tuesday's Together chapter. I love that we're in the same industry all these years later! We get more chances to work together and I absolutely love it! Her and Bill are so laid back, fun and seriously so easy to work with. So I'm just so thrilled that Emily is sharing her knowledge on the blog today!!...

Jenna & Jay's Winter Engagement Session at Mill Creek Park in Youngstown, Ohio

Jenna and Jay are about as sweet as they come! When we initially met quite a few months ago to chat about their wedding, and I totally fell for their cute little family - especially when their little baby boy woke up from his nap and flashed them baby blues at me, accompanied by MANY sweet little smirks. I loved hearing all of the happy giggles from that cutie while I chatted with his parents about their wedding planning and all of the fun details!...

Sarah & Randy's Personal, Fall Engagement Session at Mill Creek Park in Youngstown, Ohio

I'm not going to lie, I love when old friends come back in my life randomly. When my friend Chelsea connected me to Sarah and Randy, I knew I was going to like them. Then I met them and their adorable son in person and my adoration for their little family started to grow like crazy! They're such fun, bright, kind souls. (Chelsea, I owe you, boo!) We planned out an e-sesh for the Fall and totally lucked out with a really warm, sunny, beautiful November day after it had been chilly and wet for weeks. It was a perfect day to be at Mill Creek Park in Youngstown, Ohio! Both Sarah and Randy wanted little Randall to be a part of their session. They said that they really want him as involved in their wedding process as possible, which totally melts my heart...
