Joey + Maddie | Hip, Modern, and Green wedding ideas featured on Green Wedding Shoes
Once again, we have teamed up with some of our favorite wedding buddies from Northern California to bring you some fresh wedding inspiration. This is not your average, run of the mill California vintage backyard wedding; this is a wedding for the music loving artist in your soul. Eclectic touches of succulents, antlers, and old records decorate this art gallery to make for a unique and hip venue and nuptial backdrop.
We were lucky enough to have an amazing real-life married couple to play the part of Joey and Maddie in this inspired shoot. When you watch the film you will notice some intense emotional moments which happened completely unrehearsed, just natural emotion flowed as they were reminded of their true love for each other. Thanks for sharing your connection with us!
We are so happy that the blog Green Wedding Shoes also thought this fun shoot was worthy of sharing with their readers. It’s always such an honor to see our work featured! Thanks GWS!!!
Amber from Platinum Planning together with Audrey of Botanica Floral Design & Events truly gave us a bounty of eye candy to film. Loads of carefully planned details included a Popsicle cart to keep the guests cool, fun party props, and delicate paper goods with hand-stitching for a homespun touch.

Jim + Lenora | Sacramento Wedding Film
“You know Frank Sinatra’s Just The Way You Look Tonight? This wedding has had me humming that song over and over since I first laid eyes on it’s pretty factor. It’s lovely. From the smiles so warm to the cheeks so soft, everything is just lovely.” -Style Me Pretty
It’s true, there is just something melodic about a well planned and executed wedding. From our first lunch together, it was clear that Jim and Lenora knew exactly what they wanted their wedding to look like: clean, modern, and sleek, just like them. With the help of 2Chic Events, their vision was brought to life and we were lucky enough to be there to capture it in all of it’s classic, contemporary glory.
Throughout the day, I kept hearing family and friends point to the fact that Jim and Lenora are individually perfectionists and a theme of perfection stood out to me. When editing this piece, I decided to weave this idea into the highlight, showcasing the couple’s personality, they really are a perfect pair!
I hope you enjoy their handmade highlight!

LA FEMME VINTAGE | Storybook Love
A Today’s Bride San Francisco Style + Design Feature
We were absolutely delighted when Mary of Very Merry Events contacted us about shooting the behind the scenes footage of an upcoming Style + Design photo shoot for the new issue of Today’s Bride SF magazine. Mary enlisted the help of some of the Bay Area’s most talented wedding professionals to bring to life her concept of a vintage fairytale wedding in the tall trees of the Napa Valley.
The new issue of Today’s Bride SF just hit news stands and is running over with “to die for” wedding inspiration styles from Romantic Vintage, to Rustic Restoration, to Architectural Modern, there is something for every bride. We are so honored that we had a chance to be part of this amazing photo shoot and we hope that you are inspired!
Check out “Storybook Love” on pages 162-165 in the current issue of Today’s Bride. Notice the cool bar code link in the bottom left corner? It is so great to see publications making it so easy for readers to see the behind the scenes film!
Here is our handmade film to take you behind the scenes of this magical and romantic fairytale wedding. Part of Mary’s original design concept, and the back story for this wedding, was the tale of a boy who meets a beautiful girl. He makes her smile, together they love to read books, eat cake, and travel the world together. This theme is carried out in the film as well as on Mary’s prop wall where key words are exchanged with key items to symbolize this story.

Scott + Ashley | The Carneros Inn | Simplicity Film
Today is a unique day because we are sharing one of our full length wedding films. Potential clients often remark how much they love the work on our blog but often wonder what our complete films look like. Typically we use the blog to share the wedding trailers and highlight films that feature some of our favorite work. Wedding trailers usually run 1-2 minutes and our short highlight films run 3-5 minutes in length. Trailers and short highlight films are something that come as a bonus with our two most popular packages, the Simplicity and Feature wedding films. (For details about the packages we offer, check the bottom of this post)
Today we are showing an example of our Simplicity Film, the nuptials of Scott and Ashley, a beautiful wedding we shot early last summer at The gorgeous Carneros Inn, a Napa Valley gem. The couple hailing from Dallas, could not have picked a more beautiful spot for their destination wedding. The Carneros Inn is one of the most prestigious and gorgeous spots in the Napa Wine Country and was the perfect setting for their intimate wedding.
This wedding was designed and styled by Yelena Johnson of The Stylish Soiree, one of our favorite event designers in California. She has an attention to detail and esthetic that is spot on and timeless. We love filming all the lovely details she provides at her weddings. Soft and gentle hues of greys, blues and pinks set a lovely and feminine tone to this wedding. I especially loved the florals with beautiful medleys of silver brunia berry, cafe au lait dahlias, garden roses, astilbe, ranunculus, succulents and peonies.
We hope you enjoy watching this handmade Simplicity Wedding Film!
As you can see, our full length films give us the time to tell each couple’s story and to share all the beautiful footage we are able to capture. At LoveSpun we truly believe that less is more and you should be proud to share your film with your loved ones, not bore them to death with a long-winded and unimaginative wedding video. We hope enjoyed seeing this insider version of our work!
For even more stunning imagery from this amazing wedding check out these lovely photos from Jenny Martell, a Dallas based wedding photographer.
Package Details: We offer three types of wedding film packages, our Highlight Wedding Film which runs about 8 minutes, the Simplicity Film which runs about 13-15 minutes and comes with a trailer and finally, we offer a full length option called the Feature Wedding Film which runs approximately 24 minutes and comes with the 3-5 minute highlight which is great for sharing online with friends and family. With all of our packages, the clients do receive the full live edit version of their ceremony as a separate chapter on their disc.

As we left the heat of the valley and into the cooler rolling foothills, we came to the entrance of an adorable farmstead, Taber Ranch. It was decorated with old chairs, vintage tables, bric-a-brac and memorabilia from years gone by. Rustic lanterns with sparkling flames illuminated curved paths through wildflowers and antique farming equipment, succulents and brightly painted bespoke furniture. As much as the surrounding vineyard reminded us of wineries in the neighboring Napa and Sonoma Valleys, there was something much different and rustic about Taber Ranch. If felt comfortable and familiar, the perfect place for an intimate, family centered occasion.
Dustin and Whitney made it a point to pay homage to family members and incorporate family traditions into their wedding day. Whitney’s brother, who walked her down the isle, wore one of their Dad’s ties in honor of him. Dustin and Whitney chose to do a wine blending instead of lighting a candle during the ceremony, a thoughtful choice since Dustin proposed at a winery. After the wine blending, the couple drank from kittish cups that Whitney’s parents had used on their wedding day. Many sweet and sentimental touches throughout the day, truly made this wedding personal and meaningful. We are so grateful that we had the opportunity to capture some of these special moments.
While most of the wedding day was spent outside among the vine covered rolling hills of this private working ranch, the party moved indoors after dinner to the rustic barn on the property. This made for the perfect place to hang out, cut the cake and dance the night away. We hope you enjoy their handmade wedding highlight film.
We had the opportunity to work alongside the fabulous husband and wife team of Chris and Jen Stewart. They were so great to work with and we had such a great time bouncing shooting ideas off one another and coming up with beautiful imagery for Dustin and Whitney. They were so respectful of our craft and wanting us to get beautiful shots too that it felt as it we were part of the same team. Thanks for being so awesome and for sharing these lovely images with us!
I mean, how cute are these photos, right? Chris and Jen rocked it!

Steven + Melody
Last summer we had the pleasure of filming the wedding of Steven and Melody at The Fairmont Hotel in San Jose. The couple’s love of clean lines and contemporary simplicity really came through in this modern yet elegant affair. Monochromatic hues of white and creams complimented beautiful orchid arrangements, designed by Amy Burke Designs for both the ceremony and reception, were truly magnificent and set a luxurious tone to the wedding.
Steven and Melody are a genuinely sweet couple with kind hearts and elegant style. We feel fortunate to been part of this special occasion and we hope you enjoy their handmade highlight film.
We also had a blast working alongside our pal Meg Perotti who has some seriously mad skills when it comes to capturing all those magical moments in her noteworthy timeless style. You might remember Meg from the Amelie Inspired Wedding shoot we did a couple of years ago. Check out these amazing photos from Steven and Melody’s big day.

Thanks for stopping by for a little LoveSpun!
Jeff + Elvia
Driving down the PCH with the windows down and the smell of the ocean drifting in, I knew we were getting close. This quaint little chateau, nestled among vineyards in the Carmel Valley, was a picture perfect backdrop for Jeff and Elvia’s destination wedding. Coming from Florida to get married at this beautiful location made for an intimate and very personal celebration for the couple and their closest friends and family. Jeff told me that he wanted everyone coming to the wedding to have a blast, that the wedding should feel like a party, laid back and easy going. Jeff and Elvia certainly were laid back and we had such a great time working with this great couple!
In terms of ambiance, the couple really wanted their wedding to feel “a little bit of old school vintage meets romantical.” You can see some of these vintage touches with their use of old records, old photos, and even a vintage dress hanging on a clothesline for a truly personal touch. They wanted their wedding decor to not only say something about their personalities, but also compliment the beautiful vineyard location. I think they pulled it off.
Here is Jeff + Elvia’s handmade wedding trailer, giving them a taste of what is to come in their full length wedding film.
Another thing that made this wedding so much fun was working along the fab photographers Jonathan + Joanne Encarnacion. Talk about a blast! Check out these beautiful photos they shared with us from the wedding.
