Kalispell Diamond B Wedding: Trevor & Kaelyn

Weddings

Megan usually writes the posts for our weddings, but since she is the bride’s sister and was the matron of honor for this wedding, the task falls to me. For obvious reasons, this day was more meaningful than most for us. I’ve known Kaelyn for years and I am positive that I have never seen her more happy or more beautiful than she was that day. There was a glow in her eyes and a smile always on her lips. The weather had been rather dreary leading up to the wedding, but on the day it was perfect. The mountains in the background popped and the grass seemed more vibrant than usual. The pace of life in Montana is a little slower than California, and that helped us all appreciate the day and the moment that much more.

Megan’s family is a very tight group that loves to love. On this day they all came out to celebrate Kaelyn’s love and add to it. It was the perfect place, the perfect time, and the perfect group of loved ones. At first it felt like a challenge to shoot the wedding without my partner, but by the end of the day I felt blessed to have been able to capture this experience. So I would just like to thank Kaelyn and her family, my family, for letting me be witness to the kind of love that we all aspire to feel.

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!

First of all Matt and Tracy are very cool people. They are both hilarious and fun to hang out with. We basically spent the whole day with them while we shot and really got to know them. And trust us…they’re good peeps. It is going to be a total blast to film their wedding in July. With their collective creativity and dedication to quality, the wedding will be beyond stunning and it will really give us an incredible background to tell their stories against.

The Bell Tower Bakersfield Wedding: Adrianna & John

I love that John & Adrianna’s film is premiering on the blog right after Thanksgiving. At a time of year when the word “thankful” is in all our minds, that word popped into my mind several times while watching the footage from their day. You would have to be blind to not notice the gratitude that John & Adrianna have for each other and how thankful they are to have each other as a partner. You can see it in every tear and every smile. You can see it how they rush to kiss each other after being pronounced husband and wife. You can see it in the way John kisses Adrianna on the nose and how Adrianna hugs John. Thank you for letting us capture this thankfulness John and Adrianna. You two truly are special people and have a very special relationship.

The Gardens at Mill Creek Wedding: Michael & Leah

Weddings

It’s always fun when we get referrals from past brides. It’s almost like a Couture Motion reunion. On this particular wedding, Leah heard about us from one of her bridesmaids and one of our past brides Kori who we filmed back in 2010. It was so fun to see Kori (who is expecting!) and her husband Mark at the wedding. But not only was it great to see Kori and Mark, it was fun to recognize past bridal party and guests from other weddings. It really does make us thankful to be a part of our clients’ lives and thankful for the ‘word of mouth’ part of the business. Leah and Michael are such a sweet couple. The way that these two people look at each other is so heartwarming. We felt that on the day when we captured the footage and it was only proved further when we edited the film. Thank you Leah and Michael for warming our hearts with your looks!

Seven Oaks Country Club Bakersfield Wedding: Kristen & Ross

Weddings

Music licensed from The Music Bed

We love interviews. They have really become a signature of our films and we are stoked when a couple decides to sit down and tell their story. We get to hear such amazing things from them. From fantastic first impressions to hilarious quirks they put up with, we get to hear it all. Editing a story into their highlight film is such a great way to personalize the film, however we are always forced to leave out some amazing stories. Kristen and Ross fall into this category. Their proposal story was too good to not share, so you can enjoy that when you watch their film. But one of my favorite stories is when we asked Kristen how she when from just “knowing” Ross to realizing she wanted to date Ross. Here is what she had to say:
“I kind of knew I was really into him because I went off to Europe with my sister to celebrate graduating college. And it was really late, it was my first night there, I had a couple glasses of wine, had one of the best nights out in Italy. And my sister is kind of laughing because she sees me on the pay phone and I have a calling car. And the only person I called on that trip was Ross.
Here is what Ross had to say about that:
“I think that’s the first time I actually realized that she liked me because she actually called me from Europe. She was just babbling on about anything and everything and it was the cutest thing. I didn’t want to get off the phone with her because I was fixated, infatuated with her.”

I just love how these life long journeys begin. Congratulations Ross & Kristen!

Leatherby’s Cafe Rouge Wedding: Ryan & Stephanie

Weddings

Music Licensed from The Music Bed

What a fun day! It’s always exciting for us when we arrive and the “getting ready rooms” are full of love and laughter. Stephanie was surrounded by her bridesmaids we were all smiles as Stephanie got ready and put on her stunning dress. Down a few floor was Ryan and his groomsmen. Often times this room can be a bit low key, but Ryan was sharp and his groomsmen were full of jokes. The ease and beauty of the day continued throughout the day with the help of Jessi over at Just Chic Events. Stephanie and Ryan had an intimate modern and elegant wedding. One of the fun things about our job is to ket a peek into different traditions. For this wedding the Bride and Groom went to each table for a toast. It was such a nice way to have an intimate congratulations. The night ended on a high note as the DJ transported us all back to the 90’s with some classic Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears. I repeat, what a fun day!

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.
