Humbled and honored as I received the news that John Hoel Weddings / Vibrant Film won The Knot's best of weddings for 2011. It's hard to express what a true honor it is to get a front row seat to the most important day of my couples lives - and capture it in a way that gives the wedding a life for the rest of the marriage through film. Humbled because this award was only possible because of the amazing couples I get to work with each year. I know this sounds cliché but each couple, and their family and friends, have been so welcoming, fun to work with, creative, and beautiful and they've played a huge role in helping me create some of the most touching and coolest wedding videos around (ok, I'm biased but they are.) Thank you!
