Hey FilmLife Fans!
2024 is here, and we are celebrating with our latest wedding film! Come give it a watch!
WATCH: You Are the Home I Always Wanted / Serendipity Gardens Oak Glen Wedding / Morongo Casino & Resort
When Ellie and Adrian first approached us about filming their wedding, they had three key criteria:
Make it fun
Make it emotional
Make it authentic
And right away we started working together to bring those ideas to reality.
First, we planned out activities that would create more spontaneous fun for them throughout the day. One of the big winners was featuring their adorable puppy Cooper in the wedding party. Another involved setting aside more time for their romantics to be playful and silly. And we looked at musical choices that leaned into their mutual taste for country.
Then we gave attention to the emotion of the day. In the months leading up to the wedding, we worked with Ellie and Adrian to write letters and vows that would elicit deep feelings from each other. We planned moments for the day that would let the couple absorb the experience, like a private first dance where they could reflect on everything the day meant for them. And we provided tips to their family and friends on how to give wedding speeches that would be truly heartfelt.
Last came the authenticity. We knew their film would need to lean into organic, candid moments that didn’t need to be cleaned up or made pretty. So we chose specifically to let moments like the private vows and Ellie’s first look with her parents to linger and dwell on their reactions in the moment.
To us, the result is a beautiful love letter between two tender-hearted people who embrace silliness and depth all at once.
