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.

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 & Dima // West Linn, OR
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.
Renee & Jeremy // Forks, WA
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.
Nicol & David // Phoenix, AZ
Filming Nicol and David’s wedding at the Royal Palms Resort and Spa in Phoenix, AZ was such an incredible time. The mountain range behind the resort along with the various kinds of cacti made for the best desert backdrop.
The Royal Palms was absolutely stunning! Every corner offered a new aesthetic with endless filming possibilities.
Tina & Artem // Fairview, OR
Filming Tina and Artem’s wedding at Ukrainian Bible Church in Fairview, OR was such a special day for us. Tina is Dan’s (our second shooter) sister. So we knew that we wanted to crush it extra hard for them.
One thing that Tina and Artem did so well that day was take in every second. In particular, there was this moment in the morning where Tina pulled out a photo book, sat in a chair, and just reminisced on their journey. Nothing else mattered in that moment, just that book and her memories. It is always so important to take time and slow down on a day that can be chaotic.
