Kelsey is to Kevin what butter is to bread, what laces are to shoes, what gasoline is to an automobile, what a glove is to a hand, and what an awesome wife is to an amazing husband. We were honored to capture the day that changed these two lives forever!

Consider this our first pro surfing film! Well not really!!

Enjoy!

WHATS SO FUNNY?

On a small island in the heart of San Diego lies a little place called Paradise Point. On a beautiful day at the end of August we shot the wedding of Bernalyn and Ed. We could use the usual cliche words like… amazing and spectacular to describe the days that we spent with Ed and Bern, and they would be completely fitting. But the best way for us to describe the experience of this event is real and authentic! It was a blast shooting the hustle and bustle of preparations with these two! The ceremony and reception were just as much fun (especially the giggly vows, thats our favorite!). We were honored to polish off the night by showing the couple and all their loved ones a little film we like to call WHATS SO FUNNY? Enjoy!

Its a Hoe Down-Show Down

When we heard that the Utterly Engaged magazine was throwing themselves a birthday party, we knew that it was going to be a good time and that we wanted to be involved. But then when we heard it was a Hoedown, BBQ Showdown, it sealed the deal! With a few trips to the Good Will, Ross and Boot Barn we had our gettup. Complete with plaid shirts straw hats and bolo ties… yes I said bolo ties (we dont mess around) we were ready to get our grub on. In between stuffing our face with amazing BBQ and off the charts Sweets we were able to grab a few shots from the big event. It was so fun to meet so many new vendors and to rekindle our relationship with some of you that we already know and love so much!

So many thanks to the girls behind Utterly Engaged, you ladies are genius and we consider ourselves very blessed to know you and to be able to work with you!

Others that made this event a hoot were:
-Simply Modern Weddings- Event Coordination
-Aaron Young Photography- Mobile Crazy booth (pictures provided below)
-Jessica Clair Photography- Event photographer
-Sweet and Saucy Shop- Sweets table
-Cartoon Slinger- Characature drawings

So enjoy the film! *This video contains the “scratch and sniff” feature. Simply scratch the screen, bring your schnoz close and smell the goodness contained!

Huey, meet the world. World, meet Huey.

Huey is… well we will just let him speak for himself!

(Let the film fully load – its a long one)

Dont worry y’all, we have not journeyed far from our wedding roots. We have been editing like little squirrels storing our acorns in a little hole of a tree, just waiting for the right time to bring them out and share with all of you. Stay tuned, many great flicks to come in the very near future!

Well… we are about ready to launch something that we have been working on for quite some time.

There you go we have unofficially announced it, and you are unofficially invited to join us!

Only 12 1 more seat available, gett’em while they’re hot!

Steve and Sara are simple really, when they are not rock climbing, riding motorcycles, playing with their cats or living life, they like to get married, and that is exactly what they did this past weekend. Steve and Sara A.K.A “Team SY”, invited us to come out to Illinois to share with them their momentous day. We can’t even begin to tell you how amazing it was to get to know these two. They are loving, kind, considerate, fun and most of all, real down to earth awesome peeps. From the moment Steve contacted us and told us a little bit about them, we felt a sincere connection. The love between these two is undeniable. So find a chair, sit down, and let us introduce you to our good friends Steve and Sara.

P.S. Steve, you should probably practice your hoola-hoop a little bit more!

Is that J Crew?

Two months ago we sat down with an incredibly talented photographer and his fiance, to discuss J Crew, iPad’s, an old roadster Porsche and the day that would change their lives forever. One word we can use to describe the hot summer day in Groton CT is, awe-inspiring! Brian and Helen were attentive to every little detail that makes a day like this unforgettable! It was a pleasure to be a part of this long awaited occasion. Here is a short trailer to give you a sneak preview of whats up and coming!

…Brian, if you weren’t so talented in photography we would suggest you consider a career in fashion design!

It is our pleasure to present to you… Brian and Helen Khang

7 Steps

Robert and Rosalind… WOW, where do we start? Thursday evening we hopped on a plane and headed up to the land of Toronto Canada on a red eye flight. We landed Friday morning, and immediately drove downtown to meet the couple for the first time. As we arrived, the door swung open and we were greeted by Rosalind, Robert, and the bridal party. We couldn’t have done anything to properly prepare ourselves for what was about to follow in the next 48 hours. Everything about our experience with these two was covered in genuine and loving personality. They are some of the most authentic, funny and caring people that we have ever worked with. Though it was the longest day of filming that we have ever experienced (19 hours), it seemed to fly by! From the intimate moments in Robert and Rosalind’s rooms as they prepared for the day, to the polka-dot bikinis and leg waxing, and then to the heartfelt and truthful ceremony, we can boldly say it was OUR pleasure to be a part of this day!

P.S. Robert and Rosalind, try not to shut down Facebook and Twitter re-posting this!

P.P.S. Parental Advisory, explicit lyrics!

Jenn + Jon

Being a part of Jenn and Jonathon’s wedding this past weekend was such an honor. As we thought about everything that happened throughout the day, the theme of the entire event was incredible beauty. Jenn looked amazing in her wedding gown, and Jon couldnt have looked more dapper in his fitted suit and pink bow tie. The ceremony sight was settled into the small intimate Japanese garden of the Langham Hotel in Pasadena California. Three words: A MAZ ING!!! We loved getting to know the entire wedding party, and wish the best to the newly weds.
