5 Reasons to Have a First Look
As your wedding day approaches, we get a lot of questions about whether or not you should do a first look. While some brides are certain that they want one, others are more hesitant and want some insight into the pros and cons of the decision. Well, we are here to give you 5 reasons why you should do a first look.
Victoria & Ruben // Battleground, WA
Filming Victoria and Ruben’s wedding in Battleground, WA was such a unique experience. First off, they had their wedding at Victoria’s childhood home. Between their driveway and front yard, they were able to transform her home into a beautiful and timeless wedding venue. Second, the way their two families rallied around them to make their wedding dreams come true was so endearing. It was the epitome of “it takes a village.”
3 Reasons To Have A Showreel
One of the best things about being a wedding videographer is that we get to travel the world telling people's love stories. Each couple has a unique story to tell and we get to find the gold in it. After being a luxury wedding videographer for over ten years, a current wedding showreel is one of the most important things to have. For those who do not know, a showreel is a short collection (max 2 min) of some of your "best" videos, angles, and clips. We have three reasons why it is important to have a showreel and some tips if you are just starting out.
Kimberly & Jason // Malibu, CA
We simply cannot say enough about Kimberly and Jason’s wedding at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, CA. On their first date, Jason “nonchalantly” awaited Kimberly but as is the case when you try to act cool, they ended up making eye contact, awkwardly saying hello, and began their date. Jason, in his vows, said that that was their first and last awkward moment they’d ever have together. They are the type of couple that just works well together, you see them, and it just makes sense. They love each other so deeply and genuinely that it made our jobs so easy. We didn’t have to force anything or direct them much. We just let them be and their chemistry did the rest.
Erika & Nikita // Puyallup, WA
Filming Erika and Nikita’s wedding at Rock Creek Gardens in Puyallup, WA was such a special and enjoyable time.
That morning, we knew it was going to be a great day as we were going to be shooting at the Hyatt Regency in Bellevue, WA. We love filming at this hotel as it gives us all the studio-quality lighting needed to capture every moment.
