We met Erin & Neil via Skype a while back, a necessity when they live in DC and we live in CA.  We were so excited to work with them as we could tell that their day was going to be impeccable.   Held at the beautiful Four Seasons Biltmore in Santa Barbara, the day could not have been more perfect.  The weather in Santa Barbara was on its best behavior as Erin & Neil celebrated with their friends and family.  They had people travel from all over to share in this moment.  And I really mean all over.  Thanks to a fun poster we learned that 60% of the guests traveled from outside of California.  20% of the guests were Dartmouth alums.  And one guest traveled almost 18,000 miles to be there!  That’s one dedicated friend.  Erin was absolutely stunning and no one could keep their eyes off of her, including Neil.  And I have to say that the design of the reception is one of my favorites that I have ever seen.   A big thanks to Kristin over a Joy de Vivre for all her help.  Congrats Erin & Neil and thanks for letting us be a part of your day!

Esther and Jay are just perfection.  We met them on Skype a while back and from that first meeting Ian and I knew that we were incredibly lucky to work with them.  Esther was able to describe our style shooting and films better than we every could, and this made them our ideal clients.  They understood exactly what it is we do behind the camera and in the editing room and they sat back and trusted us to do what we do.  This freed them up to be completely captivated with each other on the day of their wedding.  (Hint to all you future brides and grooms. That is the secret to a great wedding film.)  The depth of their love speaks for itself.  During the ceremony we had to fight back the tears as we saw Jay’s reaction to Esther coming down the aisle and as we heard some of the most beautiful vows.  The whole day was just perfection.
