Toddler Steals Phone & Films Viral Wedding Reception Video

Fire Your Wedding Videographer & Hire This Toddler

 

We found you a new wedding videographer. He’s a master at candid shots and his rates seem reasonable – there’s a good chance he’ll even work for snacks and a nap. 

 

The only downside? He’ll probably put himself in most of your wedding videos. 

 

Oh, and he’s only two years old. 

 

A toddler named McClean has gone viral after stealing his dad’s phone to film the dance floor at a family wedding reception earlier this month. 

 

Armed with only a camera, a surprising aptitude for video composition, and his dance moves, McClean perfectly captured the joy, carefree abandon, and ‘vibez’ of the night…

They say it’s a risk to hire friends or relatives to photograph your wedding…

 

But these results speak for themselves. The video has been viewed nearly 40 million times since being shared on TikTok by McClean's aunt (@CoryPea). 

 

Congratulations to the happy couple, and to this budding young wedding vendor! We can’t wait to see your work again in the future – and we bet you’d make a heck of a wedding officiant.

Ask a Friend to Get Ordained Online to Officiate Your Wedding, with Help From AMM!  

 

As the clip above shows, good things happen when friends and relatives help out at the wedding ceremony! Ask a friend or family member to officiate your wedding with free online ordination through American Marriage Ministries (AMM).

Why AMM? American Marriage Ministries is an inclusive nondenominational internet church that ordains and trains ministers to officiate marriage ceremonies. We are a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit church, and help people from all backgrounds and beliefs become ordained ministers for weddings. Our online ordination is free, accessible, and never expires.

 

Officiating weddings is an incredible honor, and a great way to show your love and support for the people getting married. As a wedding officiant, you will help to create memorable ceremonies and memories that last a lifetime.

AMM Ministers can legally officiate weddings in every state* (it's much harder in Virginia, where we're looking into our options). After getting ordained with AMM, you might need to register your ordination with your local county clerk’s office. Click the link above to get started!
