From the moment we arrived at the Fairmont Olympic hotel in Seattle, WA, we knew that Mahdieh and Armand’s wedding was going to be special. The air felt extra crisp, our coffees extra strong, and our spirits extra high, ready to forge ahead into the great adventure of a same-day edit that lay before us. As we carouselled the revolving door and took those first steps into the Fairmont, we were transported to another world as if we entered the wardrobe and stepped into Narnia.
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.
Josie and Solomon’s wedding at The Aerie at Eagle Landing was so special and sweet.
Throughout the day there was so much love in the air at this wedding. Between the way that Josie and Solomon treated each other and the way the families treated each other, there was just so much love and respect. All Josie and Solomon wanted to do was mak
Natasha and Dima’s wedding in West Linn, OR was a joy to capture and film. We could easily say that about each and every couple we have to honor of filming but it’s nonetheless true. Each couple brings their own uniquely distinct style and vibe to the day and Natasha and Dima were no different. They brought such a youthful yet sincere love to the day in a way we hadn’t seen before.
We loved filming Semida and Tony’s wedding at Philadelphia Romanian Church in Portland, OR.
Semida and Tony are one of those couples that might seem like opposites but in actuality, they are two sides of the same coin. As we listened to them talk about each other that morning and watched them interact with each other throughout the day, we could really see the love between them. Their love is so beautiful, rich, and authentic.
Soldier falls in love with the nurse, they don’t talk for years, reconnect, and fall madly in love with each other. That’s Oksana and Nicolas’ story! How classically romantic?! We felt like we were in a movie with a story like theirs. Their wedding at the Pelican Hill Resort and the San Clemente Presbyterian Church in San Clemente, CA was the first military wedding we shot, and wow, what a cool, memorable experience.
We absolutely loved filming Renee and Jeremy’s wedding at Fern Acres in Forks, WA.
Coming from the Cayman Islands, Renee and Jeremy’s destination micro wedding was all about their closest family members and them. The goal of the day was to celebrate and spend some secluded, quality time with those closest to them.
Gloria and Erik’s wedding at Bastyr Chapel in Kenmore, WA was a very unique and special day.
They got ready at the Hyatt Regency in Bellevue, WA and the view from their windows was absolutely stunning. It overlooked Lake Washington and with the weather we had that day, amazing photos, and lighting. Gloria looked so beautiful, poised, calm, and just ready for the day. There did not seem to be any nerves in her but just this radiant peace. Erik, by far, had one of the most extravagant and amazing suits we have seen. It was a custom Dolce and Gabbana suit made out of this baroque patterned fabric. On others, it might have been too much or too different, but Erik had such confidence and swagger that it just made sense. He did not allow the suit to wear him but he wore the suit.
