Left Bank Annex Wedding: Holly & Mark

Weddings

Usually I write a little about the couple, but for this post I’m gonna do something a little different. I want to talk about my favorite moment of the day. Right as Mark begins to repeat after the officiant he is caught for a moment… and that moment for me was amazing. It was this beat where Mark just came to experience the depth of this very moment. The moment he was committing forever to the woman he loved. Its these moments that I love as a filmmaker. Its a moment that so easily be missed when you are there in real time. Its also a moment that cannot translate in photos, because its about the time he takes to feel the experience. Its something that surfaces only in the editing of the film. This moment is what makes a day like this special, because it reveals the experience that our couples are having. Because in that moment, you understand what this moment means to Mark… and how he feels about Holly. It was an awesome day for everyone involved, and this moment is the perfect illustration.

Portland Art Museum Wedding

Weddings

We have done A LOT of weddings. But there’s always a first for everything. This was our first Persian wedding. We absolutely love learning about new cultures and how they celebrate their love. And boy do the Persians know how to celebrate. This couple had an amazing group of family and friends to help them celebrate in their love. We don’t think the dancing every stopped! Definitely a way to celebrate if you ask us.

Oregon Golf Club Wedding: Katy & Mike

Weddings

Every once in a while we connect with our couples on another level and it feels like we have known them forever. Our client soul mate, if you will. Katy & Mike are that couple. From the first moment that Katy called me, I knew this couple had something special. Katy & Mike are so well matched, contributing equal parts love and sarcasm (which happens to be my love language). And their wedding day at Oregon Golf Club did not disappoint. They took in every moment. Every. Single. One. It was an honor and a joy to watch them on this day and we couldn’t help but feel so happy that these two were getting married. We adore them! Now you watch their film and try and tell me that you don’t adore them too!

Abernethy Center Abigail’s Garden Oregon City Wedding: Jace & Mikaila

Weddings

We absolutely love a good “backyard wedding” and that’s exactly the backdrop that Abigail’s Garden at the Abernathy Center provided for Jace & Mikaila’s day. The wedding ceremony was nestled in the private garden, the reception under the amazing tent, and contra dancing & a balloon-wish send off in the field. It was their own private garden and it was perfect.

Bel Air Bay Club Pacific Palisades Wedding: Caitlyn & Marco

Weddings

Not all weddings go according to plan. Correction. No wedding goes according to plan. Most times there are little hiccups during the day that no one notices. And then 1 out of 100 weddings it seems like someone is pranking you. This was that 1 in 100. Who could have expected it to rain in California…in July…during a historic drought?! None of us that’s for sure, but it did poured during Caitlyn & Marco’s day. But I think that Marco’s best man/twin brother had it right. He thought it was raining because the gods were crying because it was such a beautiful ceremony. We happen to agree! Huge shout out to the creative team behind this one for making it come together.

Summit Grove Lodge Wedding: Michelle & Ken

Weddings

What a great day. Even though it was a little warm, Michelle and Ken had smiles on their faces all day. They were just so comfortable with one another. As they walked through the woods for their photos you could tell that they just belonged together. For our first wedding in Washington, we had a great time.

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.

Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles: Kyle & Hailey

Weddings

We had a blast filming Hailey & Kyle’s Love Story. Hearing about how these two met and the first date that followed, who could have guessed that these two would even like each other, let alone get married. Thank goodness that “something magical happened” while they waited for their Mexican food on their first date because the wedding event that followed was nothing short of breathtaking. Ian and I were so thrilled and honored to travel down to Beverly Hills to film Hailey & Kyle’s wedding held at the Four Seasons Los Angeles. The details of this wedding were unbelievable. (Huge shout out to Alicia of Details, Details on this one.) But the most important detail was the spark between Hailey & Kyle. It is undeniable. Even though in their Love Story they described themselves as “opposites attract,” I think Kyle had it right. “We fit together like two peas in a pod. We’re just opposites attract to get there.” Gorgeous wedding. Gorgeous couple. Gorgeous love.

We are so excited to see Tracy & Dustin’s Catalina View Gardens wedding featured over on Love Toast! This wedding had the most amazing details, all hand crafted by the talented bride herself, so it’s no shock that this wedding was picked up by a blog. Our film is at the bottom of the post. As you are scrolling to watch their film again be sure to check out the stunning work of Figlewicz Photography. Andrea and Casey are so talented with the way they capture love and light. We had a blast working with them and wish we could work beside them for every wedding!
