Our goal is always to create the most amazing video possible for your wedding day, and while we always work with that in mind, there are little things YOU can do to help make sure things flow perfectly.

Videography Tip #2 | First Look

As one of the debated topics among wedding industry professionals as well as brides to be, it’s something that can add a whole new element to the wedding day. Most girls grow up dreaming of a large, white wedding with your groom seeing you for the first time as you walk down the aisle. As we get older, traditions have changed and more couples than ever are opting for a “First Look” or a “First Reveal” before the actual ceremony.

So what’s the benefit? Think of this way. During the ceremony, there are SO many things going on. You’re being escorted by your father down a long aisle, trying to remember smile as you are surrounded by 100+ of your closest friends and family, trying to focus on your handsome groom standing at the end.. chances are he has seen you well before you see him. You could miss his reaction – or, he may be so taken by beauty that he wants to cry, but is embarrassed to in front of 100+ people. Instead, imagine this: You walking up, tapping your groom on the shoulder, taking in every moment of his reaction while you two relish in the moment that this IS your wedding day. It’s here. And it’s really happening. Why not take a few minutes together alone, exchange gifts, or just take a breather in what will be the most whirlwind day of your life. It’s a way to ensure you not only get to see his complete reaction to you in your stunning dress (because you tried on hundreds to find the perfect one!) but also to give yourselves a few minutes of togetherness.

As for the video, the first look adds so much to your film – the tears, the joy, the smiles, most importantly the LOVE between you will shine through adding emotion and passion to your film, taking you right back to that moment every time you watch it.

But not to worry – You will still glow with happiness as you walk down the aisle, but now you just get to take in the moment. And trust me, it will still take his breath away. 🙂

Our goal is always to create the most amazing video possible for your wedding day, and while we always work with that in mind, there are little things YOU can do to help make sure things flow perfectly.

Wedding Videography Tip #1 | Natural Light

Of course you want to look like a rockstar on your wedding day, and while we are there to film the magic of it all happening, lighting is such a key element to how that will look on film. Natural light outside or through windows will make you look like your best YOU on the film. Any great makeup artist will tell you that its much better to sit next to a window while applying than under a lamp or a fluorescent light, which can cast shades of orange or yellow onto your skin. Not only that, it gives us the ability to be creative with shadows, outlines, and silhouettes which can look amazing on film. It also provides a cleaner, more neutral background that isn’t quite so distracting as being in a salon with chairs, people, and products in the background of the shot. Something to think about when planning where to get ready for your big day!

I’m not even sure where to begin with this one.. These two are a match made in heaven. I’ve been lucky enough to know Brittnay since college, where we met at a Leadership Retreat. One of the things that stands out to me the most is how she opened up about the struggles of being a single parent while trying to finish school and I remember thinking what a strong person she truly was. Their engagement came quick, but their faith in God and each other has never wavered and they are two of the happiest people I have ever been blessed to be around.

Their February wedding day was unusually foggy, something that is said to never happen down here on the coast. I say it’s just like rain on the wedding day.. “lucky!” It only made sense for them to rent a beach home on the water for their family and friends to stay in as a group. They were married at the beach by Henderson Park, in a small and beautiful ceremony. Guests were invited to stand around them while they recited their own personal vows that were written with the extraordinary love they have for each other.

Once the ceremony was over, guests walked down the street to LA Lounge for a reception. This isn’t a normal reception venue, but Hunter and his band Heritage have played their numerous times. The owner was generous enough to let them rent the space for the evening. The reception was a “VIP Rockstar” theme – complete with “backstage passes” as favors, butterfly rainbow cupcakes, and Heritage taking the stage for an hour. For the party, Brittnay changed into a short, custom made dress that used the lace from her mother’s wedding dress – How cool is that! She even had a surprise for Hunter — She learned the song “Valentine” by Kira Grannis and came out on stage to sing the number in front of everyone, while Destin’s own Dannica Lowery accompanied on guitar. After toasts, the Love Story video that we created was shown, and was a huge hit with their guests.

Overall, the day was amazing in it’s own right, and we can’t wait to share it with you!

Also, here are some kick ass photos from their day by one of our favs.. Pure 7 Studios!

Thank you for visiting our new blog – we are glad you’re here! I want to start by introducing myself. I’m Cali (said like Kay-Lee) and I’m in LOVE with weddings. More importantly, I’m in love with capturing all the love and emotions that are present on the wedding day. We all know the only things after a wedding day is over are the photos + videos, plus maybe a worn out wedding dress 🙂 I love giving couples a fantastic memory of their wedding day, one that truly captures the voices, the tears, the joy, the family and the love, all while telling the story of you as a couple.

Now, more about me! I..

am addicted to sugar.
am obsessed with shoes.
need pink + glitter to be happy.
love to travel anywhere, anytime.
am terrified of ice covered lakes or ponds.

Hoping I get to know YOU a little better while we sit down and chat about your upcoming big day.
