Bonnie & Chad’s Destination Wedding at the Chattanooga Common House

As a Chattanooga wedding videographer, I’ve filmed many beautiful celebrations—but Bonnie and Chad’s destination wedding at Common House Chattanooga was truly one of a kind. This stunning downtown Chattanooga venue served as the perfect backdrop for their modern, multicultural wedding, blending clean, minimalist design with heartfelt tradition.

The couple traveled from out of state and welcomed guests from across the Southeast and around the globe for their hybrid Korean-Christian wedding ceremony. Their love for one another was quietly powerful—grounded and full of intention. Their first look was one of the most moving moments I’ve captured: just the two of them, finding calm and connection in each other’s presence.

Common House Chattanooga offers a unique venue experience, featuring a boutique hotel, on-site restaurant, rooftop pool retreat, and elegant indoor and outdoor event spaces. Bonnie and Chad took full advantage of the venue’s beauty, curating a wedding day that was both elevated and deeply personal.

Working alongside Madelein Beck Photography, we focused on crafting intimate portraits and capturing the emotional core of the day—from getting ready in the Common House suites to sunset courtyard moments. The film highlights not just the aesthetics, but the atmosphere and connection that defined their wedding day.

Bonnie’s vision for her wedding was minimalist yet luxurious. New Mood Floral brought that vision to life with unexpected floral installations featuring natural elements like limes, artichokes, and soft greenery—adding rich texture to the modern reception hall.

One of the most memorable moments came during the reception dinner, when Bonnie’s father gave a touching tribute that honored their journey and brought the room to tears. It was clear that this celebration was about more than decor—it was about family, culture, and love.

To match the visual tone of the day, I created a custom color treatment for the wedding film’s title sequence, pulling from Bonnie’s design palette and aesthetic. The result is a film that starts quietly and intimately, then builds into a joyful, emotional celebration—a true reflection of the couple and their story.

If you're planning a wedding at Common House Chattanooga or looking for a Chattanooga-based wedding videographer, I’d love to help you capture your story with intention, art, and heart.
