On April 1st of this year I married my wife Chelsey in an informal ceremony in the backyard of our home in Santa Cruz.  As a honeymoon, we planned a week-long vacation at a beachside condo in the Florida Keys.  We spent about 85 percent of our time exploring the flats and fishing from our rental kayaks.  Her enthusiasm for a honeymoon plan such as this, speaks for the (many) reasons I am so lucky to have locked down such a fine woman.
I kept the GoPro running most of the week and documented our stellar vacation.  All the editing has finally been done.  I have whittled all the footage down to a brief three minute video highlighting the most exciting moments of our trip.  This includes some fish porn as well as other neat experiences.  Be sure to turn the volume up as the music and environmental sound effects rendered a bit too quietly.  I hope you enjoy.

Congratulations!  Sounds like you found your soul mate.  Enjoyed watching the video.  Never been to the keys yet but now I think I will put that on our list to go to.

kick ass vid Matt, You got skillz!

I especially liked the quick still cuts in the middle of the video, and Chelsey's exclamation when she gets hit with the fishing rod was pretty funny.

BTW, I found a chili pepper under my car seat :smt044
