katherine + mike // pasadena, ca


We’re so excited to share the highlight from Katherine and Mike’s stunning backyard wedding! Katherine and Mike both come from huge families full of love, faith and children (there were over 50 kids present!). This sweet couple are so perfect for each other and we were thrilled to play a role on their special day. The reception was celebrated at Katherine’s grandmother, Terry Honey’s, home in Pasadena. Katherine spent her childhood playing in that very yard and celebrated many family weddings there as well. It was so heart warming to witness that tradition first-hand! We thank the new Mr. and Mrs. Haigh and wish them continued love and happiness.

Alka + Bobby // Washington DC



We’re thrilled to present the highlight from Alka and Bobby’s gorgeous wedding weekend! We had the pleasure of spending four days with Alka and Bobby’s families as they celebrated the coming together of two families at the beautiful Mayflower Hotel in Washington DC. This was a weekend full of love, emotion and amazing performances by family and friends. We feel so fortunate to have been a part of special wedding and hope you enjoy their highlight as much as we enjoyed creating it!

yara + paul // miami, florida



Happy Valentines Day! On this day of love, we are so happy to share the highlight from Yara and Paul’s intimate garden wedding in Miami, FL. We’ve personally known Yara for many years (we went to high school together!) so it was all the more exciting to be there for a friend on such a special day. Paul also knew Yara in high school and had deep respect and admiration for her even then. Life took these two in many different directions but they ultimately reconnected in the winter of 2016 without missing a step. They each separately admitted to knowing right away that they had found their soulmate. Yara demonstrated this with her amazing gift to Paul; a journal that she had kept in secret from the very beginning of their courtship. We’re so thrilled for Yara and Paul and wish them a lifetime of love and happiness. Enjoy their film!

stacy + matt: same day film // phoenix, arizona


We recently had the best time spending a weekend with Stacy, Matt and their friends & family. A little over a year ago, we met for sushi in Los Angeles where we talked Star Wars, documentaries and dogs to make sure we were a good fit (I think we closed the place down that night). Fast forward to present day and we’re in Phoenix, AZ ready to not just tell their story, but do so in a Same Day Film! These are so much fun because we not only get to see Stacy and Matt’s reaction to their film, but also get to share it with all of their guests on two huge screens at their wedding reception. Shout out to Stacy’s mom Cindy, who made us feel like family all weekend and to their wedding planner Charlee at Signature Events for making sure that everything was flawless for their big day.

sarah + michael // coeur d’alene, idaho


Get ready to smile from ear-to-ear!

Sarah and Michael’s wedding was overflowing with all of the best emotions; love, happy tears, excitement and of course laughter (lots of laughter). I say “of course” because if you’ve known Sarah and Mike for 5 minutes, you know they love to laugh. From goofy jokes to silly costumes (and a rad scooter helmet!), it’s evident that they don’t take themselves too seriously. One thing they are serious about is their love for each other, their friends and family. Everyone at this event seemed so tight that it was impossible to tell whether or not they were related and this seems to be by design. When Mike and Sarah let you in, they really let you in! Their open hearts made us fast friends (we still text pictures of our dogs to each other) and we can’t wait to visit them in their beautiful new hometown of Coeur D’Alene, Idaho. Thanks to Sarah and Mike for their hospitality and sharing such a beautiful weekend with us, after a 3+ year engagement, we’re thrilled that you’re #FinallyFreestone!

emma + baer // knoxville, tn


I will be thinking fondly of Emma and Baer’s wedding weekend for years to come. Not only were we fortunate to film in one of the most beautiful venues in the country, but we worked with one of the sweetest, most genuine couples in Baer and Emma. Their weekend was full of laughter, love of family, friends and the love between our adorable couple. Try watching their highlight without being thrilled for them, it’s impossible! These two knew they perfect for each other from the jump and we’re so grateful to have gotten to know them. Their day was stress-free and flawlessly executed by Jennifer Laraia Designs and it was a real pleasure to shoot alongside Natalie Watson Photography for the first time. We thank Emma, Baer and their wonderful families for their kindness and hospitality and wish this amazing couple continued love and happiness.

nicki + carlos // middleburg, va


We’re thrilled to share the highlight from Nicki and Carlos’ gorgeous interfaith wedding at the Salamander Resort in Middleburg, VA. Nicki is of Indian descent and Carlos’ family is from Puerto Rico, so their wedding was not only about two people becoming one, but two cultures as well. We were fortunate to spend three days with the Shah and Rivera clans and loved seeing these families grow closer together over the weekend. Each family was exposed to new and exciting traditions (and food!) from a culture different from their own and by the end of the weekend, they were one family. It’s always a pleasure working with our talented friends at CG & Co Events, who made sure everything looked amazing and ran smoothly. We are grateful to Nicki and Carlos and wish them many years of love!

jessica + jason // bal harbour, fl


A little over two years ago, Jessica was in a panic because her four-month-old French Bulldog, Tux, had gone missing. She called everyone she knew, posted on every social media channel and had every neighbor on the search for Tux. A few hours into the search & rescue, a firefighter named Jason arrived to lend a hand. Jason grew up in the area and has some mutual friends with Jessica and her sisters. After a few minutes of trying to console Jessica, they went into Jess’ house for some refreshments. Much to their surprise, Tux was waiting for them at the top of the stairs! As it turns out, he had been sleeping under Jessica’s bed the entire time. This chance encounter, with the help of a mischievous French Bulldog, was the beginning of Jessica and Jason’s beautiful relationship. These two complement each other perfectly. Jason brings out a sillier side of Jessica while she motivates him to achieve his goals. Interestingly, our friend Tux had one more contribution to Jessica and Jason’s wedding (he swallowed her engagement ring!).

We had such an amazing time being a part of this special day. Not only because of our wonderful couple, but because we got to work alongside some of our favorite friends in the wedding industry. Jackie Ohh… Events executed everything to perfection (Jessica is Jackie’s sister after all) and we always love shooting with Unique Design Studios and Gloria Pelo. Congratulations Jessica and Jason, we wish you all the best as you continue your adventure together and look forward to hearing stories of Tux’s shenanigans for years to come.

anicia + carlos // homestead, fl


We’re excited to share the highlight from Anicia and Carlos’ beautiful South Florida wedding. Much like our own personal story, their relationship started when they were children. Anicia and Carlos met in elementary school, shared the same circle of friends and kept in touch as they grew up together. Even though they started as friends, it was evident to their family and friends that they were meant to be together. Carlos admits that even before they were in a romantic relationship, Anicia was always special to him and that he’d always envisioned continuing to grow together. We congratulate this beautiful couple on solidifying their lifelong relationship and wish them continued love and happiness.

priya + peter // annapolis, md


Priya and Peter’s wedding was the uniting of two people, two families and two cultures. This couple are warm, funny and a pleasure to be around (bonus: Pete’s a NY Jets fan!). They wanted to observe traditional celebrations of both cultures, so there were two beautiful ceremonies with the same message; a wish for a lifetime of love, health and happiness. Their day on the Chesapeake Bay was perfectly executed by our friends at CG & Co Events and it was a blast working with this awesome couple. Enjoy their film!
