Susan and Jesse | Teaser/trailer | Big sur wedding

Susan and Jesse's Big Sur wedding will have you falling in love with love all over again. This gorgeous couple invited close friends and family to the private Paion Estate for an intimate destination "I do".

From the ethereal coastal light to the fresh green and white color palate, everything was perfection on this magical day. Their Jewish ceremony was full of meaningful tradition as well as heartfelt commentary on love and marriage, and the best man's speech will definitely make you grin. We caught Susan and Jesse in a magical "golden hour" moment, radiating love, and again on the dance floor, haloed by whimsical edison string lights. Crackling fires and s'mores rounded out the evening, and the guests walked away with donut holes and milk bottles.

We couldn't help but adore this amazing couple; their joy was infectious, and they deserve all the best. Enjoy their wedding video below!

Kathryn and Alan | highlight feature | Casa Real

This gorgeous wedding was 17 years in the making! Kathryn and Alan might have viewed eachother as awkward friends in high school, but that didn't stop them from reconnecting in college and falling head-over-heels in love. After ten years of dating, Alan finally popped the question at a family Thanksgiving dinner, and a year later they were able to finally call each other husband and wife.

Nestled in the rolling hills above Livermore, California, the Casa Real at Ruby Hills Winery in Livermore was the perfect setting for Kat and Alan's whimsical wedding. Enchanting baubled trees and an aisle lined with white flowers framed their ceremony, while shimmering chandeliers added some serious glamour to their reception ballroom. Kat and Alan's day was truly magical.

We were so excited to capture their big day, and to be surrounded by a ton of vendors we already know and love. Jane Kim of The Glamourist was on hand to work her bridal magic, Henry from Big Fun DJ kept the party going for hours, Danny Dong was in the middle of the action with us, photographing the entire day for Kat and Alan.

Watch their video below to listen to their lighthearted, touching vows, see their most romantic moments, and feel the joy that made their day special.

Meredith and Mike | Highlight feature | Grand Island Mansion

There is nothing quite as enjoyable to film as a couple so obviously in love. Tucked away in the beautiful deltas of Sacramento county, Grand Island Mansion was the perfect backdrop for Meredith and Mike's romantic black tie wedding. Its manicured grounds and wrought-iron victorian arbor made for an enchanting late-afternoon ceremony, and the ornate ballrooms were lit up with pink and gold for the festive reception.

Meredith knew there was something special about Mike after their first date, texting her mom, "he's perfect!" As friends and family were introduced, everyone could tell they made each other incredibly happy. Mike hinted to Meredith's family that he would propose toward the end of 2012, and surprised her on Christmas morning when he hid a ring inside a box of luxury soaps!

This wedding was wonderfully personal for us, since Taylor, Meredith's maid of honor, was one of our brides, as well as her brother! Meredith had already fallen in love with both of their videos and called us up a whole 15 months before their big day.

June 6, 2014 Meredith and Mike walked down the aisle with big grins, and we couldn't have been happier to capture it all.

Hop over to Facebook to see all the familiar faces! You'll see Meredith as Taylor's maid of honor in Taylor and Joe's wedding film from 2011, and you'll spot Taylor during her heartfelt "big sister" toast at Jacob and Tobi's wedding back in 2010!

Best of luck to you both!
