We hope everyone has been enjoying their holidays, because we certainly have! 2013 was a great year and we know 2014 will be even better. This is our last highlight video post for the year, but definitely not the last wedding we shot in 2013. We still have a few 2013 weddings to catch up on, but for now meet Cynthia and Jess, the Lodge at Sonoma Wedding.

Cynthia and Jess booked us more than a year in advance for their wedding, so we knew video was important to them! They had a sunny Sonoma wedding filled with joy and laughs. This was our first time videotaping a traditional Korean ceremony. Such a fun experience! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect couple. These two were fun to be around and were thankful they allowed us to capture their wonderful wedding day. Please enjoy.

Meet Spoorthi and Santosh. Two love birds who originally moved here from India. After living here for many years they will be finally returning home next month to officially tie the knot. We asked if we could fit in their luggage, but unfortunately there was no room. Here is their San Francisco Pre-wedding video.

Santosh contacted me and said he simply wanted to film the best pre-wedding video for his Fiancé Spoorthi. After many emails and phone calls back and forth we finally came up with the perfect idea which ended up being a mix between a concept film and a candid session. Really happy with how their pre-wedding video turned out. Remember Santosh, If you change your mind about bringing us to India, my bags will already be packed 😉

Please enjoy their Pre-wedding film.

 

With wedding season finally calming down, we now have a chance to catch up with blogging. Here is the wedding of Jenn and Andy at the Palm Event Center in Pleasanton. Andy and Jenn have been friends since high school and reconnected again in college. Andy pursued Jenn but she played hard to get at first. 6 Months to be exact! From the day they started going out to when he proposed it took exactly 6 years. Do you notice a magic number? According to Jenn’s sister, her theory is that Andy made Jenn wait 1 year for every month she made him wait in the beginning of their relationship. Not sure if the theory is true, but definitely a funny coincidence!

We had a great time filming Jenn and Andy’s wedding. Their day was filled with laughs and tears. I don’t think their was a dry eye during the ceremony. We hope that you enjoy their film and make sure to have a tissue ready at hand.

Since Lee’s name sounds like the suffix ‘ly”, he likes to use his name within words like sincereLEE, obviousLEE, and of course JuLEE. From the first moment we pressed the record button we knew Julie and Lee’s wedding was going to be a fun one. How many weddings start off with the groom doing a cannonball into the pool?? They held their wedding in Napa Valley at Mont La Selle formerly Christian Brothers Retreat. The day started off with prep as usual with the bride and groom getting ready at separate locations. Then we headed over to Mont La Salle for their first look. They shared a very intimate first look filled with laughs and tears. Next was ceremony, packed with 150 close family and friends. Following ceremony was a real party, when I say party I mean PARTY. These two danced non-stop with their family and friends all night, never taking a breath or sitting down for air. Lastly, they ended the night perfectly with sparklers for a grand send off. We hope you enjoy their jam-packed fun day as much as we did!

You might hear us mention filming at a beautiful location from time to time within our post but its surely the truth. Being a Bay Area based Wedding videographer allows you the opportunity to film in many different gorgeous locations every weekend. Rachel and Josh’s Nestldown wedding was no exception. Located  in the redwoods of Los Gatos, Nestldowns features beautiful lush gardens, rustic woods, and scenic ponds. On the day of Rachel and Josh’s wedding we had so much fun working alongside You + We Photography. Rachel had the most infectious laugh and kindest heart. Josh had the most heartfelt vows and warmest personality. Thanks to Cora Bella Weddings & Events planning the day with out a hitch and for making our day a lot easier and thank you to Rachel and Josh for trusting in us to capture their day!

Jill and Jon aka Bubba tied the knot on a beautiful sunny day in the heart of downtown Memphis, TN. They chose the art deco Madison Hotel as their prep location and The Columns at One Commerce Square as their reception venue. These venues both served as beautiful backdrops for their day. They had no shortage of friends and family at their wedding with over 300 guest in attendance, 12 groomsmen, and 7 bridesmaids. We had a blast being apart of their wedding day and couldn’t have asked for a more down to earth loving couple. Thanks Jill and Bubba for allowing us to be apart of your day!

 

Meet Veronica and Peter. This is their Save The Date Video. These two have a fixation with Napa and a distinct love for wine. It was only natural that we head up to Napa Valley to film their pre-wedding video. We filmed at the beautiful Flora Springs Winery in St. Helena. Veronica and Peter spent the day tasting wine, having a romantic hillside picnic, dancing, and playing a game of Bocce. We had a blast filming them and we look forward to filming their wedding later this year!

We loaded up the car and headed back to Monterey for Young and Stas wedding. Their  sea side wedding was held at the beautiful Monterey Plaza. The ocean view during their ceremony was simply amazing.

Young and Stas have known each other for 13 years, talk about a jumping the gun. Stas proposed to Young in Russian Hill on his way to a charity dinner. He decided to propose at the top of Russian Hill in a small park that Young and Stas used to walk through quite often. Young soon found out there was no Charity Dinner when Stas romantically Proposed. Young and Stas wedding day was filled with love and laughter,  were truly lucky to have couples like them and honored to be entrusted to film their big day! We hope you enjoy.

I’m happy to present to you the wedding of Jackie & Richard! They met early on in college and have been inseparable ever since. Spending almost every day together since they first met. We enjoyed being apart of their day and we hope you enjoy their film!
