Vintage Wedding Films

Inspired by Mid-Century Modern

We had a very busy Fall last year and one of our last weddings for the year was Jindy & Tilmann’s at the beautiful Resort at Pelican Hill. From the first time I met Jindy & Tilmann, I was instantly inspired and charmed by their personalities and vibrant love. Their two families came together from across the world to celebrate with them and there was a real sense of rich family history. I could talk all day about all of the beautiful moments I had to leave out from this short vignette, but I’ll restrain and let the film sweep over you.

A Romantic French Château Wedding

Jessica & Chetan invited us to come along with them to capture their romantic, Tutors inspired, wedding. Set against the stunning Château d’Esclimont, their wedding concluded with a larger than life fireworks display that deserved it’s own little film. There’s so much to show from this event, but here’s just a small glimpse.

Malibu Beach House Wedding

Petra and Josh, who both live in New York, had a classic Southern California wedding at the beautiful Adamson House in Malibu. Situated right on the coast, the Adamson House was the perfect backdrop for their ceremony and reception. I was such a fan of the eclectic and rustic elements used throughout their decor, they were so much fun on film. One of my favorite moments to capture was Petra as she sat on a couch outside with her mother, sister, and grandmother; all four generations were filmed enjoying the amazing California weather. Petra & Josh were in love with our 16mm wedding films and knew right away that film was the perfect fit to capture their seaside wedding because it offered just the right amount of vintage flare.

Charming English Wedding on Super 8

Across the pond in the rolling countryside of Hampshire, England, we met up with an amazing couple, Alicia and Jun. We had the pleasure of spending a couple of days with them enjoying English tea, taking a scenic barge trip to the local pub, and capturing their breathtaking wedding ceremony in the gardens of the Four Seasons, Hampshire, a former estate of Henry VIII. The weekend was perfect and their super 8 film offers just a small taste of the beautiful anthology that we’re creating for them.

Eclectic Saddlerock Ranch Wedding

Ashley & Christian’s wedding was a day full of little surprises and amazing details. From a baby zebra born just weeks prior, with al fresco dining on Persian rugs and beautiful couches, to even some brief summer showers and inquisitive horses; I was constantly seeing new details that inspired and left me feeling awestruck. I am so pleased to share their amazing day.

Private Wedding for Two

It’s not often that we get invited to capture a wedding that is created solely for a couple, who also serve as the only guests. This was a one of a kind experience with the bride and groom alone, under a beautiful canopy on a hillside.  The only way I can describe their day is breathtaking and stunning.
