Engaged: matt & hollie

Photography, Photos

We’re baaaaaaack! It never fails. Every year we get our “summer vacation,” only it’s in the winter. It’s when Ian and I have a quiet few months of no weddings. But during that time we are feverishly editing feature films, working on the business, spending time with family, and working on our new house (blog post to come soon!). We also have a couple random shoots here and there. This on features Matt & Hollie. We adore Matt & Hollie. Not only are they amazingly cool people and drop dead gorgeous…but they are also family. Matt is my youngest cousin and Hollie has been a part of this family for years. The two of them together have to be the most easy going couple that has ever existed on this planet. No joke. We cannot wait to photograph and film their wedding at Calamigos Ranch in June. Until then, please enjoy their Santa Barbara engagement photos.

Published on Grey Likes Weddings: Jayme & Mitchell

Published

Giddy. I think the proper word is giddy. When I saw that Jayme & Mitchell’s Backyard Wedding was published over on Grey Likes Weddings…I was giddy. And the title was what made me giddy. “Why a Videographer Should Be On Your Must Have List.” Because I totally believe this, and not just because I love making wedding films. But because Ian and I did not get a wedding film. At the time we got married the wedding videography market had nothing that was artistically where we wanted it to be. There were no “films” yet. But NOW THERE ARE! And like Grey said, a lot of couples are moving videography off the “wish list” and onto the “must list.” My favorite line you ask? “Scrap the lobster! We’re going for the videographer!”

Backyard Bakersfield Wedding: Mitchell & Jayme

Photography, Photos, Weddings

Their wedding day could not have been more perfect. Leslie, Jayme’s mom, worked tirelessly on the effortless design of the event which was held on the front lawns of a private property. It added a perfect personal touch and that carried on through the entire wedding. Another personal touch? Brad, Jayme’s father, married Jayme and Mitchell. It was so overwhelming to witness what could be considered the ultimate ‘blessing’ that a father could have on his daughter’s marriage. As for Jayme and Mitchell on the day, they could not have looked more gorgeous. I’m not kidding. Just so freakin’ gorgeous. But more than that, it was amazing to see these two as a unit. When Jayme and Mitchell saw each other for the first look, they came alive! They are a perfect example of the sum is greater than the parts. These two sparkle when they are together.

On a personal note, this was the first wedding that Ian and I did both the photography & videography. I photographed the wedding (with help from Hailey Golich) and Ian filmed the wedding (with help from John Williford). We have a lot of experience filming weddings, but just started photographing them. So I must thank Jayme and Mitchell for allowing me to photograph their wedding. They put their trust and faith in me and that means the world to me. Congrats you two! We love you!!!

Bakersfield Country Club Wedding: Blake & Laura

Weddings

Sometimes with our couples we see what I like to call “the simplicity of love.” It sounds cheesy…I know. But it’s true! There’s a moment in this film where Laura looks up at Blake during the ceremony and smiles. But not any old regular smile…a huge big smile that just exudes love and warmth. And Blake. During his interview we asked him what he is thankful for in his relationship. He responded with, “I’m so thankful that I met her.” I couldn’t help but appreciate the simplicity of that statement. This is something that I don’t know if I ever thought to be thankful for in my relationship but thanks to Blake now I am. Blake & Laura have the simplicity of love perfected. Thanks for including us on your day!
