Sonya Isaacs & Jimmy Yeary Highlight Reel


It all started with a simple email quote asking for information on videography.  I thought the contact name was very familiar but just figured it was a coincidence.  I have never been one to make a big deal of any celebrity personalities anyway.  I sent Sonya a quote and a few days later we spoke on the phone.  After listening to her for a few minutes I begin to think that maybe this was no coincidence so I asked her.  Sure enough she was the person who I had remembered from many years ago.  Sorry, Sonya I won't say any ages ok.

Once Upon a time....LOL.  Ok.  I won't make this that long.  Sonya is the lead singer of her family Gospel Bluegrass band, "The Isaac's".


As a youth pastor in a southern gospel church we knew of the group very well.  Our pastor was a southern gospel DJ and this family visited and ministered quite often.  What a neat surprise.  

My husband Rob (BMW DJ) and I met with Jimmy & Sonya for dinner to discuss their wedding.  Jimmy is the lead singer of the award winning country music group Shenandoah.  (You know I had to look up the spelling)


We had a wonderful evening together.  I don't think I could choose who I liked better.  Sonya is as sweet as she is beautiful and Jimmy is just the picture perfect man for her.  You couldn't help but be drawn in by their love.  My oldest daughter actually worked the shoot with me and she just loved Jimmy.  It is very obvious why when you watch their highlight reel.  

We proceeded to plan her wedding and she hit a big bump in the road.  Invitations has already been ordered only to find out that her venue was going to bail on her.  Yes....Sonya was a victim of the Cedarvine closing.  She called me in a little bit of  a panic and we went to work on finding her a new venue.  My friend and preferred wedding planner Austin Floyd rushed in and saved the day.  As only she can do.


The Hermitage Hotel was not only very accommodating but beautiful. They celebrated in the Grand Ballroom and it was perfect.   It changed the whole theme behind what Sonya originally had planned. In the end I doubt she was disappointed.  It was very elegant and I think was the perfect venue for both of them.


Her family were all smiles even though they had a bit of a scare the night before.  Gramma Faye almost missed her plane due to bad weather.  I was so excited to be in the dressing room filming the pre-ceremony rituals and seeing Gramma walk through the door.

The wedding party consisted of the following:

Best Man:  Charlie Brown (Yes that is his real birth given name)
Maid of Honor:  Barbie Jones

Ushers:  Levi Bowman & Jacob Lord

Candle Girls:  Cameron Isaacs, Kyra Lord, Jakobi Bowman, Megan & Kaitlyn Adams & Karissa Anderson

Musicians:  Aubrey Haynie (Fiddle), Bryan Sutton (Guitar), Jeff Taylor (accordion)

Vocalists:  Vince Gill, Becky Isaacs bowman & Ben Isaacs


Sonya and Jimmy both sang a song that the they co wrote together during their reception.  They actually met at a song writing session so I think it was highly appropriate.    

Rob was under a bit of pressure making sure to get the sound just right for award winning country music artist, Vince Gill.  He did a stellar job and I was thrilled for him to have that experience.  Vince was accompanied by his lovely wife Amy Grant.  Sonya and Vince have been friends for many years now and he has been a big supporter of her music career.


The reception was so much fun.  Rob did a superb job. He has such a gift of keeping everyone dancing and having fun.  I really loved it when he threw in the Fiddler on the Roof song for her Jewish family.  It was so much fun watching them all dance.  In case you didn't know, Rob is the best DJ and emcee around.  I am not just saying that because I am his wife.

Sonya's dress was by dress designer - Casa blanca Bridal Collections.  
They spent their honeymoon in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.
