Ojai Valley Inn Casa Elar Wedding: Marla & Andrew

Weddings

Now that we are living in Portland, OR it’s always great when we get back to California, especially when we get to film a wedding of one of our colleagues. We were so excited when Marla called me up to say she had a wedding for Couture Motion Pictures. We LOVE working with Marla! We have been working with Marla for several years now. She started with JOWY Productions working with us on Jerry & Natasha’s wedding and then on Jordan & Tom’s wedding. She has since gone off on her own and started her own event studio called Park & Grove with her best friend (and Maid of Honor) Sarah. But this wedding was going to be extra special, because it was her own wedding! Now let me tell you something. When another wedding professional calls you to participate in her wedding, that is one of the biggest compliments you can get. This was a huge honor and we felt so happy that Marla had found her special man, Andrew. It’s such a special treat when you get to see someone who puts their heart & soul into designing and planning weddings for other people experience their own. We could not be happier for you Marla & Andrew. Such a beautiful couple, inside and out.

Santa Margarita Ranch Wedding: Jamison & Jackie

Weddings

We didn’t meet Jackie + Jamison in person until we filmed their interviews in April. Right away when I met them, I could tell that they had the kind of love for one another that only seemed possible in stories. There always seemed to be a smile waiting to burst out because they could not contain their feelings for one another any longer. They are two of the most genuine, kind, lovable, in the moment people you will ever meet. When we filmed their interviews, both of them had me crying. Their stories they told were so moving. But more than that, what really got me was how appreciative they were. They knew how lucky they were and to see them bask in that love was overwhelming. I said to Jackie at the end of her interview that it’s people like her who teach me how to love better. By witnessing Jackie and Jamison’s love for each other, I’m reminded of how important it is to appreciate a “world stopping” love. Every moment of every day. Ian and I both feel lucky and honored to document their love.

The wedding day was filled with energy and excitement from the moment it started. There was a feeling in the air that made you want to dance. There is no other way to explain it. Every moment of this day felt like a moment frozen in time. It was just…awe inspiring. We wish that we had three more cameras there to capture it all. Every detail was perfect. Santa Margarita Ranch is such a cool location. (Had I known about this 4 years ago, this is where I would have chosen to get married.) Jackie was a vision of perfection in her heart stopping San Patrick Dress. Jamison could not have looked more handsome in his gorgeous suit. The icing on the cake…was the cake. Jackie + Jamison call each other ‘Moo’…wait until you see that cake…

Honestly I could go on and on about them. But instead I will cease my typing and let you enjoy their wedding highlight film. Without further ado….Jackie + Jamison!

Cellar360 Paso Robles Wedding: Kyle & Ashley

Weddings

We are back!! After a couple months off from filming weddings we are back with our first highlight of 2012 with Ashley & Kyle! I have known Ashley & Kyle for quite some time. Probably more years than I’d like to admit. Growing up Ashley was a really good friend of my cousin. Kyle and I first met in junior high (Go Tevis Rangers!). But I hadn’t seen them in years! So I was thrilled that they came to us to document their day. And what a day it was! Kyle and Ashley exchanged their heartfelt vows as the sun set on the gorgeous, sprawling grounds at Cellar360 (formerly Meridian Vineyards) in Paso Robles. As the day turned into night, they took their party inside into the amazing barrel room. Kyle really set the tone for this party when he surprised Ashley with a dance to Michael Jackson’s P.Y.T. For the record, if Couture Motion gave an award for Best Dancer, Kyle would win hands down. Definitely a highlight for us, as I’m sure it was for all the guests.
