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.

You may remember a few months back when we shared Vanessa & Jeremy’s wedding photos. After much internal debate between Bret and I over the right music, we finally came to a resolution and finalized their video. We hope you enjoy this glimpse into their beautiful and sweet day.

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.

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 !!

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.

Alicia + Dan Highlight Video

Bret — Sat, 01 May 2010 01:45:04 +0000

A few days after Alicia & Dan’s wedding we headed back out to the park where they were married and made good use of an awesome field there. We also went over to the coolest little town, a favorite of theirs called Wentzville . As is the norm when out with a bride in groom in full attire, people driving by honked, hooped and hollered to show their support. But this time we even had a few people who called them out by name as they drove past! Yup, mini-celebs, right here.

Congratulations you two, it was great to be a part of!
