Hey Fans!
Summertime has been brutal in California this year, with temperatures up in the 100ºs. 🔥☀️🥵 But on the bright side, our editing cave has excellent air conditioning, making it the perfect place to create new films. And here’s our latest!

Light & darkness.
That’s the theme of Courtney & Carlos’ story.
It all began when Carlos went on what was supposed to be an all-guys trip to Oktoberfest in Big Bear. Little did he know that Courtney was also invited by a mutual friend to join. At first the weekend was awkward - Carlos was annoyed by Courtney crashing the event, while Courtney felt uncomfortable. But when she made a joke in only the way she could, Carlos changed his tune and made her feel welcome, even escorting her back to her hotel safely.
Two years went by before these two reconnected at a fight night, and they tentatively started exploring a new relationship together. Within a few months, Carlos made the relationship official by giving Courtney a personalized “offer letter of employment” as his girlfriend.
Courtney was drawn to Carlos genuine, sometimes brutal honesty, as well as his disciplined drive to succeed at everything he does. Carlos was hooked on Courtney’s dorky personality, her contagious laughter, and her warm way she accepted who he is. Without realizing it, she helped him grow as a person and lifted him up from much of the darkness of his past, showing him the light of who he could become.
In the months leading up to their wedding day, we worked with Carlos and Courtney to establish the themes and flavors of their wedding film - touches of humor, gentleness, touches of humor and whimsy, and an undertone of seriousness to balance. We believe this wedding film truly evokes these tones and more, visualizing the beautiful love story they started crafting many years ago at Oktoberfest.
Please enjoy this lovely wedding day at The Homestead at Wilshire Ranch in Oak Glen!
