Johnnie Walker - Dear Brother
This is a spec advertisement that is currently breaking the internet in my social circles. I'm sharing here for two reasons.
- This piece can only be described as heartbreakingly beautiful. Stunningly shot, edited and voiced. As a piece of visual art, it is a masterpiece for these filmmakers.
- It's still bringing tears to my eyes and it's been 12 hours since my first viewing.

Walking the roads of our youth
Through the land of our childhood, our home, and our truth
Be near me, guide me, always stay beside me
So I can be free
Free
Let’s roam this place, familiar and vast
Our playground of green frames our past
We were wondrous
Never lost
Always home
When every place was fenceless
And time was endless
Our ways were always the same
Call my demons and walk me, my brother
Until our roads lead us away from each other
And if your heart’s full of sorrow, keep walking
Don’t rest
And promise me from heart to chest to never let your memories die
Never
I will always be alive and by your side
In your mind
I’m free
Mr. and Mrs. White's Wedding Video
Last week, I wrote about putting my wedding videographer hat back on and shooting Mr. and Mrs. White's Wedding Extravaganza in Gainesville, Georgia. It was a beautiful event; I love my Gainesville family. This morning I mailed the DVDs to the family and sent them a link to see the video online. I'll leave the sharing of the full-length video to the family's discretion, but for my devoted followers at large, enjoy the highlight reel.
Mr. and Mrs. White's Wedding Extravaganza
Last weekend saw me driving up to Gainesville, Georgia to video the wedding of some very special people. I met Parker and McClain on my last trip to India, McClain being the daughter of Ken and Tracy, whom I know from participating with their ministry, Net India.
Upon meeting them, it took less than five minutes for me to be convinced that if there is such a thing as a perfect couple, it's these two. First high school sweethearts, now married fresh out of college. I've been to a lot of weddings, but there was a joy and purity at this one that I have never felt before. As I culled through the video footage, I found myself smiling continually as every clip reminded me of the joy of the day. And, to make it even cooler, McClain used Pinterest to gather ideas and design the entire event.
Congrats, guys. I'm proud to know both of you. Thanks for letting the goofy Florida boy be a part of your big day.
Just so there is no confusion, all photography and portraiture was handled by Katherine Williamson Photography and North Georgia Photography. Contrary to my usual job, I was the video guy, and what you see below are frame grabs from my footage.
