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.

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.

The Foundry at Oswego Pointe Wedding: Sarah & Tom

Weddings

We are so excited to finally share our first wedding we filmed up in Portland, OR. It’s our new home and we are so excited to settle our wedding roots here. We couldn’t think of a better couple to kick off our Oregon weddings than Sarah & Tom. We loved how present they were on the day off. Not afraid to let a tear roll or a laugh bellow. They weren’t afraid to show their vulnerable side and we love filming people like that. Thanks for letting us see who you are and how you experienced your day you guys!!

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.

Featured on Love Toast

Published

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!

Hello! My name is Emma!

Personal, Short Films

The past several months for us have been a whirlwind of major life changes. Having only been in our house in Bakersfield for a year and a half, we decided to make a huge move up to Portland, OR. We did this all while I was about 8.5 months pregnant. It was overwhelming and Ian and I joked that having a baby should be the most stressful thing we went through this year. But the move definitely had its weight in stress. After we had about 4 weeks to settle into our new home, we were onto the next big life change. Welcoming our first child into the world. Emma Lyn Swanson arrived on August 5, 2014.

We can’t believe how 6 months have gone by so fast, and yet, it feels as though Emma has always been with us. We feel so honored and proud to be Emma’s parents. She has made such huge strides in the 6 months she has been with us. She smiles, laughs, rolls over, sits by herself, eats food, cuddles with us, sleeps incredibly well, is starting to crawl and is such a happy baby. Our world is forever changed by this little lady and she has brought a joy to our lives unlike anything we have known. We made this film for her a couple weeks after she was born. Even though she has changed SO much these past 6 months, we wanted to share this film with our CMP readers. Hope you enjoy meeting Emma. And not to worry, we will be making many more films of our sweet kid.

Holly Farm Carmel Wedding: Robin & Mika

Weddings

When we write a post to go along with the film, we like to tell you more about the day and the couple. However, with Mika & Robin, we don’t need to. Everything that is said in their film says it better than we ever could. So enjoy their film!

Santa Barbara Fess Parker Wedding: Daniel & Emily

Weddings

As Yankee fans, sometimes we have to set aside our differences and embrace a couple whose affinity lies with another team. There is one team that is harder for us to swallow than the rest. The Boston Red Sox. With this particular couple, we weren’t the only ones with the challenge. You see Emily’s family hails from the Chicago area and they love the Cubs. Daniel is a die hard Red Sox fan. Somehow these two were able to see past their differences and fall in love.

Emily and Daniel had a beautiful day. Nestled at the Fess Parker, just steps from the beach, these two were ready for this day. Their love for one another was ever present throughout the day. It was obvious that they steadied one another. Even more evident was the support they received from their families. It’s always so special to see two families embrace one another and integrate. Emily’s father, who officiated the ceremony, tasked the guests to support Emily and Daniel in their journey of marriage together, and that type of love and care are clearly what has made Emily and Daniel the people that they are today.
