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!

Featured again! We are stoked to have Tracy + Matt’s Love Story featured on Scott Andrew’s Blog. Scott Andrew is an AMAZING photographer in Northern California. Something we always like to do once we book a wedding is check out our couple’s photographer. One look at Scott’s work…and we were left with our jaws on the floor. His work is so elegant and we can’t wait to work with Scott in New York City at Tracy + Matt’s wedding at Capitale next month. Thanks Scott!

Save the Date: Matt & Tracy {new york, ny}

Short Films

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. This is a new short film the Couture Motion is beginning to offer. The Save the Date. If you’re interested in your own Save the Date, be sure to contact us!

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.

Santa Cruz Dream Inn Wedding: Jon & Danielle

Weddings

This was our first wedding in Santa Cruz, and we couldn’t have been happier to have our first experience be with Jon and Danielle. They both live in Oakland, but Danielle went to school in Santa Cruz and really loved the area. Getting married in the swanky Dream Inn provided just the right atmosphere for this fun beach wedding. Often times brides will either be nervous or a little jittery, but Danielle just seemed alive and excited. She just seemed completely on. Like if she decided to go do standup at that exact moment she could have the crowd rolling in the aisles with laughter. This seemed to be her element. And it made her look more beautiful than ever. I hesitate to use the word, twinkle in her eye, since it is such a cliche, but I swear there was a twinkle in her eyes!

Another one of the highlights of the evening was the toasts. One of Jon and Danielle’s nearest and dearest friends gave a speech that must have gone on at least for ten minutes. Most of the time I would not recommend that someone give such a long speech. However, if you can alternate between being laugh out loud funny, and tear inducingly sincere, then you are given a free pass. All in all this wedding was very comforting. Jon and Danielle fit together like puzzle pieces. And all their friends and family loved them and were there that day to support them and to celebrate with them. It really was a perfect beach wedding. And if you’d like to know more about how Jon & Danielle came to be, check out their Love Story!

Bakersfield Country Club Wedding: Blake & Laura

Weddings

Sometimes with our couples we see what I like to call “the simplicity of love.” It sounds cheesy…I know. But it’s true! There’s a moment in this film where Laura looks up at Blake during the ceremony and smiles. But not any old regular smile…a huge big smile that just exudes love and warmth. And Blake. During his interview we asked him what he is thankful for in his relationship. He responded with, “I’m so thankful that I met her.” I couldn’t help but appreciate the simplicity of that statement. This is something that I don’t know if I ever thought to be thankful for in my relationship but thanks to Blake now I am. Blake & Laura have the simplicity of love perfected. Thanks for including us on your day!

Elements Venue Wedding: Justin + Kendra

Weddings

You might remember Justin + Kendra from their Love Story. (And if you haven’t watched that film yet, I highly suggest checking that out before watching their wedding highlight.) On their wedding day, Justin and Kendra just couldn’t wait to marry each other. They were ready to take that huge step together and become one. And I must say, that I saw their transformation throughout the day and it was beautiful. And I’m sure their family and friends saw that very same transformation.

It’s wonderful to be around Justin and Kendra. It was a lot of fun to be there on the wedding day and constantly laughing with them. Beyond their humor, they are incredibly sweet with one another. Justin and Kendra sang a song together and then Justin surprised Kendra by singing “Just the Way You Are” to her. And that’s why we used Bruno Mars’ song. They are so adorable. We wish them luck in their new digs in Tennessee!

Bakersfield Women’s Club Wedding: Patrick & Ashlee

Weddings

Patrick and Ashlee are two super cute people who are perfect for each other. They are both so easy going and such nice people. Honestly from the second you meet them you feel like you can just kick back and hang out, despite the fact that they are Red Sox Fans. We won’t hold it against them. On the day of the wedding, Patrick and Ashlee were so stoked to be marrying each other. Patrick looked so calm and collected as he waited for the ceremony to begin. Ashlee looked beautiful in her dress that she snagged from the Little White Dress Bridal Boutique. It was completed with a cathedral length veil that had lace trimming from her mother’s wedding dress (talk about a perfect ‘something old’). In my mind their ‘something new’ was their baby Annabella, who is still on the way. Congrats you guys!!! Their day was fantastic and we hope you enjoy their story.
