Santa Margarita Ranch Wedding: Gregg & Steph

Weddings

This is our second wedding at Santa Margarita Ranch and the first wedding, Jackie & Jamison, set the bar high. Luckily this wedding matched it. It was a gorgeous day and the weather could not have been better for Steph and Gregg. These two have quite a story. They dated while in college for a bit, but kept in touch throughout the years… And reconnected 12 years later! Knowing that they found their match, it was a quick courtship. These two pair up well with one another. They are both strong and intelligent with a sharp sense of humor. Something that didn’t make it into the interviews (but is absolutely hysterical) is that after years of having a phone/email relationship they decided to see each other in person. Gregg thought it would be funny to tell Stephanie that time had not treated him well and that he was morbidly obese (his words)! When Steph finally saw him she quickly realized that he had only been joking. They are such a good unit and on the day of their wedding we could tell that these two were marrying their best friend. They spent their wedding day laughing with their friends, family, and each other. It was relaxed and charming to see these two share this day with their loved ones. May we all be so lucky…

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…

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!
