We get so excited when we see our adorable couples pop up on amazing web blogs like Style Me Pretty! With such cute details, a charming couple, and tons of yellowy goodness it’s not hard to see why their wedding got picked for a feature on the Little Black Book Blog.  Aimee Wendell of 2Chic Events & Design helped this couple realize their wedding vision and we were on hand along with Jodi Yorston, to document all the fun decor and beautiful moments!  Thank so much to Style Me Pretty for featuring Justin & Amy’s wedding highlight film, such an honor!

I love California, I love wine country, and I love adorable weddings. On July 3rd this summer we had the awesome opportunity to film a wedding with all these wonderful ingredients.  So many handmade details went into making this wedding totally unique and fun.  This is by no accident as this bride is no stranger to making original and great designs for her own clients.  Stacy is the owner of Hello Cupcake, a San Francisco based company specializing in custom stationery and wedding invitations.  {As we were editing their wedding highlight, I thought it would be fun to incorporate the same circle design that appeared on the printed materials throughout their wedding.  You will notice this in the intro and ending of the film.}

The team from A Savvy Event did an awesome job materializing Christoph + Stacy’s vision and executing a flawless event.  So many vendors brought their A game to this event contributing to the overall feel and success of the wedding ensuring all of the guests enjoyed themselves. A bit about the venue too, Cornerstone Gardens in Sonoma, California is a great place for a wedding.  There are so many interesting backdrops for pictures and quirky, whimsical details around the property to keep you exploring.

We hope you enjoy their handmade wedding highlight film and we hope it is equally interesting and quirky just like this fun wedding.

We had the awesome pleasure of shooting alongside Jessamyn Harris and not only is she a super cool person but her photos are pretty rad too.  Check out these amazing photos and even more on Style Me Pretty.

Thanks for checking out this Handmade Wedding Film!

Funny, sentimental, and sweet is how I would describe the wedding of Justin & Amy at Wilson Vineyards.  As we sorted through all the footage from their winery wedding an underlying feeling seeped through all the imagery.  While nerves and anticipation were apparent, the deep rooted love that Justin & Amy have for one another seemed to permeate everyone around them.

I was first struck by Justin’s sense of humor, goofiness, and down right tenderness for Amy.  As someone who married a man whose sense of humor won my heart, I was instantly a fan.  Someone once said to me “Aren’t you worried that you’ll get irritated with the constant joking” when my husband and I were engaged. My reply was “I would rather be irritated than bored for the rest of my life!”  Sense of humor is what gets you through the tough times, makes you smile and keeps you young.  I don’t think Justin & Amy will ever be bored and we wish them years of happiness and laughing throughout their lives.

This wedding was especially a treat to film because we got to work alongside the 2Chic crew and they are always fun to collaborate with.  Aimee gave us lots of sunny details to film that make this highlight full of yellowy goodness.  Here is their sunny & sweet handmade wedding highlight film. Hope you enjoy!

Congratulations to Justin & Amy!

This just might be my favorite wedding film to date.  So much beauty, so much fun, so much HEART. Napa Valley in winter was the perfect backdrop for Lauren & Billy’s destination wedding.  It was truly a family celebration full of tears, reflection, and the dawning of a new life together.

Thanks for coming back to check out Lauren & Billy’s handmade wedding highlights film. Please enjoy!

~Thanks for stopping by~

This past weekend we kicked off the 2011 wedding season by spending the weekend in the Napa Valley filming Billy & Lauren’s destination wine country wedding.  Billy & Lauren are from Austin, Texas, as well as the majority of their 80 or so guests who all traveled to this romantic & picturesque location to witness the adorable couple as they tied the knot.

We were lucky enough to work with another great set of vendors on this wedding which always makes for a beautiful outcome:  A Savvy Event, Indigo Photography, Wine Valley Catering, FleurEssence, &  DJ Dukes. The Holy Family Mission in Rutherford is where the ceremony took place followed by a reception at The Harvest Inn in St. Helena.

We are still pouring over the gorgeous footage from last weekend but Brandi Schlagel, owner of Indigo Photography, just sent us over these images to share.  So stunning! Often people think of the Napa Valley being the most beautiful at harvest time, but even in winter, when the lush vines are gone, vibrant yellow mustard creeps in among the vineyards creating an enchanting mood.  Here are a few of my favorite images from the wedding.  Thanks to Brandi for giving us a sneak peak at this wonderful wedding while we are still working on their handmade wedding trailer. {For even more images, visit the Indigo Photography blog}
