Annie + Troy | Champaign wedding film ~Illinois wedding videographers~

We got to meet Annie years ago when she and her family first opened Pear Tree Estate and immediately fell in love. We were honored and touch when she asked us to return again to shoot her own wedding on the same weekend, four years later. She has a deep love for her family and friends, as well as a love for creating stunning events, so it was no surprise that she planned an amazing weekend for all of their guests with a focus on family as much as Annie and Troy themselves.

Saffi + Chun | Cabo San Lucas wedding film ~destination wedding videographers~

“When we shared our childhood dreams, and yours was to be a ticket handler on the bus, and mine was to be a bus driver, I knew this was destiny, and I had to ask you to marry me.”

Saffi and Chun wrote some of the sweetest personal vows we’ve ever heard. And they were especially meaningful to Saffi because she moved from China to the U.S. ten years ago, and as she said herself, she never expected that one day she would be writing her wedding vows in English. I’d say she nailed it. They wanted an intimate destination wedding with only their closest family and friends, and Cabo San Lucas was the perfect location. They relaxed… they partied hard… they got married in some crazy high winds… and we loved every moment of it.

Emma + Kyle | Laguna Beach wedding film ~California wedding videographers~

When Emma and Kyle first booked with us, we started following both of them on Twitter. As soon as I saw a tweet of Emma’s with “adopt don’t shop” I knew we’d love them. As silly of a predictor as that may seem, I was right. These two are so fun and easygoing and just awesome to be around. They had a spectacular wedding weekend at the Montage Laguna Beach with gorgeous decor and sunsets so stunning you’d think they were custom ordered too.

Brooke + Tim | Nantucket wedding film ~Destination wedding videographers~

According to Brooke’s father, she told him when she was four years old that she would get married on Nantucket. It’s a special place to her family, and she always knew she wanted to celebrate her wedding there with the people who mean the most to them. And she wasn’t the only one planning ahead… for years her mother dried the rose petals that guests tossed at Brooke and Tim’s sendoff from First Congregational Church. It’s easy to see not only how much these two love each other, but also how much their family and friends love both of them.

Lexie & Rich | Sydney wedding film ~Australia wedding videographers~

“As we get older, and our bodies tire and memory fades, I promise to still whisper ‘I love you’ every morning and and fall asleep on your chest every night until my very last breath.”

I can’t count how many times Rich and Lexie made me cry while editing their film. These two just radiate love, joy and happiness. It’s impossible to not have a positive outlook on life when you’re around them. Even when a sudden downpour altered their plans, they took everything in stride and were left with an amazing day after the storm passed.

In addition to conveying their love for one another in their film, we also wanted to showcase their love for Australia. Thanks to Rich’s job they got to live there for one year leading up to their wedding. They explored as much as they could in that time, and Australia now holds a special place in their hearts… as it does ours.
