San Juan Capistrano Franciscan Gardens Wedding: Nikki & Tim

Weddings

What makes a wedding perfect? Is it the details? The pretty dresses, the perfect venue, delicious food? If everybody has a fun time and dances all night long, is that it? Maybe heartfelt vows and eloquent speeches? Think about it for a second. What do you think makes a wedding perfect? My guess is that the perfect wedding in your mind does not involve torrential rain, or a possible venue change 3 hours before the ceremony. For most people that would be a disaster. Not for me, not for Megan, and not for Tim and Nikki.

This is what I think makes a perfect wedding. Two people that truly love one another. Two individuals that have chosen to stand up in front of the most important people in their lives and proclaim that through good times and bad, their love with keep them on course. That is what a wedding is all about. It is a single moment in time where you stop living your life alone and dedicate yourself to sharing everything that you are with another person. The power of that commitment is incredible. It fills us each up with hope and joy. That is why we celebrate, because we know that the bride and groom have embarked on the journey of a lifetime. They have become the beginning of their new family. Details can be beautiful, food can be delicious, and weather can be perfect, but the only thing, and I mean ONLY thing that matters is the purity of your love and the sincerity of your commitment.

In case I have not convinced you what makes a perfect wedding, please watch Tim and Nikki’s film and tell me that it was not perfect. Watch their faces as they share their first dance and tell me that you do not find yourself wishing that you were there, right in that moment. And listen to Tim’s words at the end and feel as if he has put words to your own feelings towards your loved ones. And to Tim and Nikki, thank you for loving one another wholeheartedly. Without the two of you, this day would have been a very sad story. Instead it is one of the happiest stories we have ever had the honor of telling.

Langham Huntington Wedding: Ethan & Lily

Weddings

Lily was studying in snowy upstate New York at Hamilton College. Ethan was also in some snow. But Ethan was all the way in Boulder, CO getting his undergrad. At this point Lily and Ethan had not met. After both of them had gone through some relationship troubles they both decided they needed a change of scenery. As fate would have it they individually chose Tokyo as their next destination. They enrolled in the same study abroad program. Lily and Ethan finally met in remote Hakone. Outside a 7-11 on a park bench was where Lily and Ethan became enamored with one another. They needed a change of scenery and found each other on the other side of the world. If this isn’t fate, I don’t know what is.

Their wedding day went off without a hitch. A huge shout out to an amazing team of vendors who made it happen. Kelley and her team at Picture Perfect Events could not have been more amazing!

Featured on Adornments Flowers & Finery

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.”

The Gardens at Mill Creek Bakersfield Wedding: Greg & Misty

Weddings

Music provided by The Music Bed

Misty & Greg are very humble and down to earth. Their love resonates deeply and profoundly. We have been in this business long enough to know that there are different types of people, relationships, and love. Despite this very austere facade, their wedding was a flourish of DIY and vintage charm. Misty had a vision for the design and feel of her wedding, and she went all out in achieving that look. They little details abounded and reflected the care that she put into the wedding. She had dozens of little DIY charms and a lot of vintage pieces spread throughout the venue. Misty really turned the blank slate into Pinterest magic. To Greg’s credit, he was there to help support Misty and her vision, which I’m sure every guy out there can attest to, that is a full time job in and of itself. The work that Misty put into the look and feel of the wedding was reflected in the experience of the day as well. These two really remind us what commitment really means, and the depth of the decision to give ones life over to another. It was a beautiful day because it was a beautiful couple.

Cellar360 Paso Robles Wedding: Kyle & Ashley

Weddings

Music Licensed from The Music Bed

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.
