We can’t say enough good things about this fun couple! From our first meeting and throughout the entire wedding video process they were so open, enthusiastic and a blast to work with. Side note… for some reason we have had a lot of people coming from the field of psychology this year (5 or 6 I think). Anyway, apparently psychologist make great wedding vow and card writers :-) because we have had some great ones this year. Needless to say, since they are both psychologists we had excellent vows and narrative to work with. As videographers trying to create a compelling story of the wedding day, we lean heavily on the these elements for the narrative structure of the wedding film, which is why we always encourage personal vows and writing cards to each other before the ceremony. We want to create the most personalized videos we can and the more couples open up and share during the wedding day the more unique and compelling the wedding video, we think.

Filming again at the Marriott Marquis Hotel at the San Diego Marina for both the ceremony and reception was a treat with it’s spectacular view of the Coronado Bridge, San Diego Harbor and twinkling lights of the city and bay at night. And working with Holly Ireland Photography is always a great time. Tamara and Nick really planned a great wedding!

Filming at the rustic Mt. Woodson Castle is always a treat. Few venues in San Diego have as much character and hand-made appeal. Similarly, Alex and Grace brought their own unique fun, charm and personality to their wedding. We love how they wove traditional Chinese wedding customs in with the western ones. Alex was such a good sport about all the torture they dished out to him in the morning before the tea ceremony. Great wedding!


Emily and Ryan had a lovely outdoor wedding at Paradise Falls Weddings. You really could not ask for two nicer people to work, who have lots of energy and love at a great venue. What more could we ask for?

Update: We don’t always get to see all the comments from our videos. It was so nice of Emily to share the Facebook responses with us.


After all the planning and meetings, it’s always a lot of fun to see a wedding finally come together on the big day. The effort and personality Melissa and Jeremy put into their’s really paid off! The letters they wrote, their great personalized vows with lots of little details about one another are the kinds of things that make a wedding video shine, not to mention Malibou Lake, a great little gem tucked away in the hills and canyons of Malibu. Add a tight group of energetic and creative friends and you have all the ingredients you need. Mazel tov you guys!

We just can’t help gushing about this amazing wedding! All the effort Aaron and Lisa put into their letters, vows, ketubah and each other really paid off in a huge way for the wedding video. To quote Lisa, “we tried really hard to make the day about us and not the stuff.” Well put! All that narration, authenticity and sharing lets us tell a better story of the day, which is really why we film weddings in the first place. Add a great venue, great vendors, a kick ass band and all the ingredients are there for a fabulous day. We are so happy to have been a part of it.
