SkyClips Productions 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Stanley, NC
  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $1,697

SkyClips Productions creates story-driven cinematic wedding films focused on real moments and genuine emotion. With a calm, unobtrusive approach, we allow your day to unfold naturally while crafting a timeless film that tells your love story beautifully.

“We are beyond grateful to Kevin with SkyClips for capturing our wedding day so beautifully. From start to finish, the videography was absolutely breathtaking and deeply meaningful to us. The drone footage of me arriving by pontoon boat with my bridal party is something that truly cannot be matched. It was a complete highlight of our wedding and still gives us chills every time we watch it. He has an incredible eye and truly knows what moments matter most. What stood out just as much was how seamless and stress free the experience was. Kevin worked effortlessly alongside our photographer, coordinated everything behind the scenes, and completely took the pressure off of us so we could be fully present and enjoy every moment of our day. The lighting, the movement, and the emotion were captured with so much care and artistry. SkyClips was worth every single cent and more. Our photographer ultimately did not provide us with any photos, so these videos have become absolutely priceless to us. We cherish being able to hear the laughter of our loved ones, some of whom have since passed, and to relive our officiant’s words and our vows. These are moments that no photograph could ever truly capture anyway. If you are considering videography, choose SkyClips without hesitation. What they give you is not just a video, but a living memory you will treasure forever.”

I grew up in a small town outside of Athens, GA and graduated from the University of Georgia (GO DAWGS) in 1995 with a Bachelor of Music degree concentrating in piano and voice.

“We were so happy to have Lem LeRoy officiate our wedding ceremony. From the moment we first contacted him, he got back to us quickly and made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. Lem took the time to learn how to pronounce our family members' names correctly, which our guests really appreciated and noticed. He showed up right on time and delivered the ceremony exactly as we had planned it. His knowledge and friendly personality made everyone feel comfortable, and he helped set the perfect tone for our celebration. We would absolutely recommend Lem to any couple looking for an officiant who is reliable, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about making their day special.”

Your wedding ceremony should be one of the easiest and most meaningful parts of your day.

“Finding a reliable officiant felt impossible until we connected with Carolina Ceremonies. From our first conversation, their communication was straightforward and quick—no confusion or back-and-forth about what we needed. On our wedding day, they showed up exactly on time and handled every detail with professionalism while keeping us laughing when the nerves started to kick in. Their humor was the perfect antidote to the stress of the moment, and they took care of everything so we could just focus on getting married. In a sea of unreliable vendors, Carolina Ceremonies was exactly what we were looking for. We'd recommend them to any couple in a heartbeat.”

Not only does she have the best eye for design, but also, she has high standards for the quality of flowers she chooses. Her work was truly beautiful and better than I could have ever imagined. She really does pay such close attention to detail to make your look perfect. I cannot say better things about her, or her work.”

“I had my dream wedding at Meadowview Events. This is a gorgeous venue in a beautiful location with an outdoor ceremony site, separate cocktail hour location, and a large reception space. The venue also offers ample space in both the bridal and groom suites and an extensive list of approved vendors that was very helpful as we started planning our big day. We chose not to have a wedding planner, but the venue does require a day-of coordinator. They will provide this service, but there are certainly some particularities that they have about the venue, so I would recommend asking questions about everything you are planning to ensure if meets their requirements and advocate for what you want. I was told a handful of times that what I wanted “wasn’t what was typical” but once I advocated for it, there was no issue making my vision come to life. There were some times I felt like the need to question and advocate for what I wanted led to added stress during the planning process, but nothing too extreme to not make it worth having our day at this beautiful space. After months of planning, the day of staff was very attentive and worked well with family and vendors to ensure everything was in place and taken care of and that our day ran smoothly. As you plan your special day at this venue, make sure to discuss, ask questions, and advocate for your vision with the owner to ensure that your vision becomes a reality while staying within the requirements and guidelines of the venue. In the end, Meadowview Events helped us have the wedding and reception I had always dreamed of – it was the perfect setting for the perfect day!”

“This is one of the most professional wedding venues I’ve ever been to. The land is absolutely beautiful! And the way the sun sets in the evening makes this place a dream come true for so many! There are so many thoughtful touches to this venue such as a common area fire pit, beautifully designed walkways and a pong in the back. This place is exactly what you envision when you think of a good southern ranch for a wedding. HIGHLY recommended Cedar Creek Ranch!!!”
