Karla + Carlos – A Glimpse

Bret — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 22:06:45 +0000

Karla and Carlos are an amazing couple surrounded by so much love. Their self-written vows were simply beautiful and inspired this dream-like glimpse into the beginning of their new life together. Congratulations you two, we are so glad to have been a part of it all.

We just wrapped up the Nuspl’s Family video, which we shot while doing their family portraits just before Christmas. As you can see, they’re full of love, laughter and just a joy to be around. The whole family was great at just being themselves, making for a pure and true keepsake memory.

We hope ya’ll enjoy it!

April + David – Highlight Video

Bret — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 06:03:00 +0000

April and David’s wedding was way back in October, but we wanted to wait for their take 2 shoot before finalizing their highlight video. I’m glad we did because the Take 2 shoot went fantastically, which you can see some of at the end of the video. And just wait until Ann posts the photos she’s currently wrapping up from the shoot, they are killer!
But for now, take a few minutes for a glimpse into the wedding of April & David. We hope you enjoy it.

Split Heart

Bret — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 01:32:59 +0000

A friend of ours, singer/songwriter Anna Bullard, just released her debut album titled Split Heart! The CD is full of some great, chill songs that really let the vocals shine through (my personal favorite is “Find Me In Hiding”). It’s up for sale on iTunes so be sure to check it out, she’s got a stellar voice!

Congratulations Anna!!!

Ann already shared their photos, and now we’re happy to debut their highlight video! A perfect beachfront backdrop, a remarkably loving family, and a joy filled couple still head over heels for each other made for a beautifully simple vowel renewal ceremony. We love you Aunt Mary & Uncle Bill !!

The Hefner Family Video

When shooting The Hefner Family photos, highlighting the adorable Hudson’s 1st year, we thought it’d be fun to also do a little family video for them. Fully loaded with jungle gym and swimming pool fun, here it is!

Stephanie + Dan – A Glimpse

Bret — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 12:15:56 +0000

As a companion to Stephanie and Dan’s wedding photography we also shot a highlight video, that I really think of more as “a glimpse” into all the little bits and pieces that made that day theirs. This is my favorite video that I have done to date. There was just this raw feeling to the whole thing as I put it all together; it was so real that it was surreal. And whatever that means exactly, I tried to focus on it. I hope that it comes across well, because Stephanie and Dan are an amazingly beautiful couple.

Jillian – 1 year

Bret — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 23:00:26 +0000

At the rate this little cutie grows, she’s already outgrown the video that we shot a few months ago when doing her 1 year pictures. So put yourself in a time machine and check out Jillian + family at 1 year old.
