a love story: john & carolyn

Love Stories, Short Films

At the beginning of November we had the pleasure of filming John & Carolyn’s amazing San Diego wedding…which will be posted in the next few days (so stay tuned)! But a couple months ago we met up with Carolyn & John at their home in San Diego to film their love story. We bonded very quickly especially since Carolyn and I have around 80 mutual friends from theatre. Okay not 80, maybe 8. But they also love to cook together, eat pizza, drink wine, and take leisurely hikes…all the things that Ian and I like to do. John is a firefighter and Carolyn a teacher, which I greatly admire. Another thing that I admire about these two is their dedication to each other. They love each other so passionately and sincerely. It’s really something and their love story is fantastic. Carolyn & John showed their film at their rehearsal dinner and shared their story with their family & friends, a wonderful way to have everyone be extra invested on the day of your wedding. We had such a blast with them! Thanks for sharing your story John & Carolyn!

Sunrise to Sunset: jerry + natasha’s love story

Love Stories, Short Films

Where do I even begin about Jerry & Natasha?! These two people are spectacular people. They have a spectacular relationship. And they have a spectacular love story. (You will see what I mean when you watch the film.) Since Jerry & Natasha were having a red carpet, Hollywood themed wedding extravaganza they wanted to star in their own film as well! They collaborated with us every step of the way to create an amazing film that really got to the heart and soul of their relationship. They premiered this film on a huge screen at the rehearsal dinner that was at the Sony Pictures Lot. Everyone who was invited to the wedding was at the rehearsal dinner, so every guest was able to see how Jerry & Natasha came to be.

I really could go on and on about them and their wedding that was last Saturday, but I won’t. Instead I ask you to make sure you have an uninterrupted 11 minutes to watch their film. Close your door, put on those headphones, grab a box of tissues and watch this. You won’t be sorry. We are so proud of Jerry & Natasha for opening up to us, trusting us, and allowing us to capture their story.

A Love Story: kelly + brent

Love Stories, Short Films

Hi Everyone! We are BACK!! I know it has been forever since we posted a film for you to watch and we apologize. We (luckily) had a some down time since wedding season ended for us last December. We have been editing non stop on last year’s weddings during that time. And now that wedding season is in full swing again we will have many weddings that will be posted soon.

But before we get into the weddings, we are going to share with you our first Love Story for the year. Meet Kelly + Brent. These two are just awesome. Kelly + Brent decided to document their story for a very special reason. Kelly is from England and a lot of her family will not be able to make it across the pond to experience her wedding. Kelly + Brent wanted to make sure that her family could see the love that they had for each other, so they decided on the Love Story. For the record, I am sooooo glad they chose the Love Story because they have so many amazing stories. It was hard to edit them down because they are so elaborate and wonderful (thus the 16 minute film). Kelly + Brent are so perfectly paired. We had a wonderful day hanging out with them and cannot wait for their wedding later in June in Burbank, CA. This film is a long one, so give it time to load before you start watching. Enjoy their story!
