Michelle and Jonathan – The Grand Tradition – Fallbrook

What do a heart shaped lake, a horse-drawn carriage and a princess dress add up to?…one fairy tale wedding! Michelle and Jonathan got married at the Grand Tradition and as excited as they were about the fairy tale wedding, we were jumping for joy about the gorgeous lighting, haha. But seriously they were an awesome couple to work with and had a great sense of humor. Jonathan started his toast by saying “you’ll never get your hands on me lucky charms” and made us laugh out loud.

enjoy!

The Well – Promo Video

We had a great opportunity to work with the college Pastor at Emmanuel Faith Community Church on a promo video. It’s always fun when we get to do something different than weddings and we love doing promo videos! He wanted it edgy and fun so here’s what we came up with!

Ira and Mike – Liberty Station & Oceanview Room – Point Loma

I can’t believe we had two couples celebrate their 10 year anniversaries with a full wedding celebration this year! Ira and Mike got married at the courthouse and now 10 years and 2 kids later they had a great celebration. My favorite part about this recap is that Ira asked us to include parts of her first wedding video…isn’t it amazing how fast technology has changed? Anyway, I think it’s super sweet to see the first vows and the second vows back to back…I also love that they played bingo at the reception, and everyone was so into it, what a fun idea.

So enjoy!

Sara and Pat – Darlington House – La Jolla

Wow are these two in love…seriously…it was so cute 🙂 I was listening to Sara talk about Pat while she was getting ready, she really missed him – aww! They had a great wedding at the Darlington House. They really wanted to make their ceremony unique and so they took traditions from different cultures and tied them into their day…literally! They did a hand fasting ceremony which you’ll see in the recap, Bethel did a great job facilitating that.  At the end you pull all the ribbons and “tie the knot”. It was fun to see something different. The venue was beautiful and the food at the reception was great too! They had sushi and crepe stations – wow, so yummy! And at the end of the night there were dessert crepes.

Pat reminds me of a movie star…guess who?

Grace and Frankie J – U.S. Grant – San Diego

Frankie and Grace actually got married 10 years ago. They decided it was time to renew their vows and have the whole shebang! They have two beautiful children that you will see throughout the video. For this recap, we really tried to highlight the emotion of the day. I was tearing up editing this wedding because I could just see the depth of emotion that comes with 10 years of marriage…when “for better or worse, for richer or poorer, and in sickness and health” have real meaning because you’ve experienced the good times and the hard times…

So you’ll see lots of laughing and tears in this recap. Frankie J is a pretty awesome [Grammy nominated] singer and at one point in the reception, he got up and sang Grace some of her favorite songs in Spanish. Actually it was interesting because most of the wedding was in Spanish and we kind of felt like we were editing in the dark a little bit – love the challenge!

Anyway, enough of my thoughts, please enjoy this star themed recap of a beautiful 10 years of marriage!

Kaity and Steve – Wine Vault and Bistro – San Diego

Kaity and Steve had a very intimate ceremony and reception, just the closest of family and friends. They had us shoot their wedding, photo shoot and delicious reception (the food was so good!) in order to put together a highlight video to show at their later receptions in each of their home towns. Kaity and Steve were so fun to meet and get to know! He actually mined his own gold for her ring which I think is AMAZING! (also check out his cufflinks…so great) We had a great time meeting all the family on the limo bus as well – it was great chatting with you!

So if you are a guest at either, here is what they showed at the wedding if you wanted a chance to watch it again (13 minute version):
