A while back we woke up and found that Jackie and Jamison’s wedding film had been posted over on Brides.com.  We were thrilled.  We couldn’t be happier….or could we.  To make a long story short, after that little feature we were contacted by BRIDES Magazine about pre wedding films.  They loved Jackie & Jamison’s wedding film and then died when they saw their Interview Featurette.  So they wanted our input as filmmakers.  The article appeared online about a month ago and can be read in full HERE.  The article is awesome and we were stoked.  Even more stoked that they contacted Jackie & Jamison, who had some wonderful things to say about pre wedding films.

But we are even more excited that the article was printed in 6 of the BRIDES regional editions!  New York, Chicago, Washington D.C., New Jersey, Maryland, and Philadelphia.  (Why we weren’t published in the Southern California edition is a mystery, but we are still thankful to be published in these regions.)  If you would like to purchase one of these regions, you can order one HERE.  On a personal note, Ian and I were taken aback to say the least.  We still consider ourselves somewhat new to the scene.  So being interviewed for this article really meant the world to us.  Wedding filmmakers rarely get published due to the product we deliver, so we are beyond honored to have our first magazine publication! We are thinking of having this framed and put in our office.  What do you think?

Check out the article in print!!!

We were beyond surprised to see this feature over on Brides.com.  I mean…BRIDES.COM!!!  Ian and I were totally shocked when we woke up on a regular old Monday and saw that Jackie + Jamison had been featured…yet again!  We had absolutely NO idea that Phillip Crook with Brides.com and BRIDES Magazine had found this film.  So needless to say, we were honored.

Another exciting bit of news.  Phillip Crook is writing an article about pre wedding films and the benefit of these films.  He emailed us the other week to ask if he could interview us on the subject because he thought our films were a perfect example of this type of service, particularly Jackie + Jamison’s film collection as well as Kendra + Justin’s Love Story.  (eeeeek!)  So of course we obliged.  The article will be on newsstands late July in many of the Local editions they publish.  So look for your copy in your region!

We are beyond excited and thrilled that Jackie + Jamison’s tear-inducing film has been featured over at Grey Likes Weddings.   If you are not familiar with this blog, I now introduce you to Grey.  “Couture Motion reader….this is Grey….Grey….this is Couture Motion reader.”  I LOVE this blog and often find myself pulling images for inspiration way beyond weddings and into home design and wardrobe.

Please take time to read Jackie’s words on her wedding.  Jackie wasn’t sure if she was going to be able to budget in a wedding film, but after some tweaking she got it done.  She has a perfect way of describing why a wedding film is so invaluable.

And while you’re at it, why not watch this goodie again.  Enjoy!  Happy Saturday…

You might remember the emotional highlight film for Jackie + Jamison’s wedding.  Remember them?  The beautiful couple whose love is so passionate it could probably move mountains…Yes you remember!  Well Laurel White over at Adornments: Flowers & Finery has featured their wedding on her blog.  Let me just mention something about Laurel White.  If you are getting married on the Central Coast of California, you MUST call her.  Her flowers are to die for.  She designs flowers that look like they are straight from the catalog of Anthropologie.  But her coordination skills are impeccable.  Thanks to Laurel, Jackie and Jamison’s wedding was run flawlessly and without any stress.  Honestly…call Laurel…you will not regret it.

Laurel said a lot of kind words about us.  She also did a great job of articulating the benefit of having a film.  Here’s what she said:

“Wherever there is a celebration of devotion, filming it is an everlasting way to relive it.  Beautiful moments that you don’t even realize happened are there forever.  Tears of joy – there’s nothing more pure.  I rejoice when couples choose to have their wedding captured by a talented videographer. Couture Motion Wedding Films took on this wedding with passion – interested to know every detail.  I am very impressed.”

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!
