Despite the many events that took place during 2020, love still thrived - especially the love between David and Veronica. On a crisp fall afternoon, two special people decided on forever at the beautiful Light of the Gospel missionary church in Roseville, CA. With an intimate outdoor ceremony and a beautiful indoor dining hall, the bride and groom were able to celebrate the start of their forever surrounded by those who mattered the most. Knowing the bride and groom personally, it was especially meaningful to be a part of their wedding day. They each got ready in the comfort of their homes, a touching sentiment as they each woke up in separate homes for the last time. We decided to shoot the first look at a nearby park in Roseville, CA. The beautiful fall colors of the trees provided the perfect background for one of our favorite moments as videographers to film. It was evidently clear to see the deep rooted love shared between this happy couple during the long awaited first look. The wedding ceremony took place outdoors under stunning canopy covers. Lined with flowers and lanterns, the grand entrance was truly a spectacle. One challenge we did face, however, was during the first kiss. We quickly noticed that the pastor was directly in front of the main camera, blocking one of the most important moments of the wedding day. To remedy this, we quickly did a “re-do” of the first kiss just after ceremony. Thankfully, this clip fit in perfectly with the original footage and we were truly happy with the end result. The reception moved indoors into the beautiful dining hall of Light of the Gospel Missionary Church. The groom knew the wedding host for a long time, spending hours playing basketball in their local gym. In fact, they had a little wager before the wedding day in which the host offered a discount if the groom could make a shot during one of their basketball games. Needless to say, David easily made that shot. Sharing a love for basketball, the host incorporated a fun game with the wedding party,...

Even in the midst of a quarantine, pandemic, and a wildfire, this bride and groom decided on forever at the beautiful Mountain Shadows Retreat in Foresthill, California. Overlooking the American River Canyon and surrounded by rolling forest hills, this venue provided the perfect setting for a private, outdoor wedding celebrating the start of a new journey. Outdoor weddings are a favorite of ours, especially when the view is of stunning hills of greenery. Though the wedding took place during a wildfire, the smoke served as a moody backdrop to the already breathtaking view provided by this private estate. Standing on a deck, overlooking beautiful Foresthill, Dmytro and Maria said I do in front of their closest family and friends. With lots of love and laughter, the wedding reception was filled with toasts, games, and performances by loved ones. Our absolute favorite moment from the wedding was the bride and groom’s first dance. Underneath beautiful string lights with bubbles blown all around them, Dmytro and Maria shared their first dance as husband and wife. There is always so much emotion shared in such an intimate moment and as wedding videographers, it is our goal to capture that emotion so that our couples can re-live those moments every time they watch their wedding film. The night ended with more celebration and dancing with all the guests. Our second day shoot was filmed in beautiful Lake Tahoe which served as the perfect scenery for our creative session. The stunning views of the lake, mountain, and forest perfectly blended into the shots captured on their wedding day. It was a privilege capturing this amazing wedding for this beautiful couple and we hope you enjoy this breathtaking outdoor wedding film at Mountain Shadows Retreat....

October is one of our favorite months for wedding season. The cool morning air mixed with a lightly warming sun was the perfect welcome for Andrey and Lily’s magical day. Beginning with groom preparation in the couple’s very own new home, we captured all the preparation details including a first look with the groom’s parents. The bride opted to get ready in the comfort of her parent’s home where she and her bridesmaids enjoyed a beautiful outdoor breakfast on the balcony. Bride and groom preparation is always a favorite for wedding videographers to capture as it allows people to see all of the emotion and details leading up to the big “I do”. Heading to downtown Sacramento for the couple’s creative shoot, we were able to film lot of candid and genuine moments that made for a perfect light-hearted tone in their wedding film. Full of love and laughter, the good times continued as we moved on to the wedding ceremony. Taking place at First Ukrainian Church, the ceremony walkway was beautifully lined with bouquets of pink and white roses at each podium row. Together with the blessings of the church and their closest family and friends, Andrey and Lily said “I do” to forever with each other. The reception took place at the beautiful Rocklin event center where all the guests enjoyed an evening filled with games, songs performed by loved-ones, and LOTS of dessert! Leaving a whole room separate for sweets alone, this couple went all out to ensure every guest enjoyed the most favorite part of any reception- the dessert. We were so honored to be apart of this stunning couple’s wedding day and we hope you enjoy this elegant fall wedding film capturing the start of Andrey and Lily’s lives as husband and wife. ...

It was evidently clear to see the overwhelming joy in the groom when he first saw his beautiful bride. Effortless and easy-going, filming this picture-perfect couple during the creative shoot made our job that much easier and enjoyable. Avenir and Luba ’s wedding ceremony took place at First Ukrainian Church in Carmichael, CA. The stunning arches of the church architecture beautifully complimented the elegant decor from the wedding. Exchanging vows, the bride and groom united as one in the presence of their closest family and friends. Leading to the reception held at The Platinum Palace in Rancho Cordova, CA, this breathtaking wedding venue was beautifully decorated with chandeliers, lights, and floral arrangements. One of our favorite moments from the reception was captured during the cake cutting ceremony. The bride and groom really let loose and had fun as they lightly smudged cake frosting on each other’s faces. Wanting to show the couple’s fun side, we made sure to include a few of these candid moments in their wedding film. With speeches, games, and lots of song performances, the reception was filled with joy and laughter as the guests celebrated the union of Mr. and Mrs. Golosinsky. We hope you enjoy this beautiful summer wedding film commemorating Avenir and Luba’s journey into marriage.

We love small, intimate weddings. An unique venue surrounded by your nearest and dearest makes for an incredibly intimate moment shared between the bride, groom and guests- and this is exactly how Volodymyr and Olga wanted it. Outside Sienna Restaurant is a beautiful outdoor seating area that was transformed for the ceremony and reception. Exchanging vows in front of their closest family and friends, the couple became husband and wife amidst the beautiful, golden El Dorado hills. As wedding videographers, we are always excited to capture all forms of weddings ranging from big celebrations to small romantic dinners. Small weddings, however, hold a special place in our hearts as we get to capture the intimacy and romance shared between the couple and the people who truly mean the most to them. It was immensely clear to see the true love shared between Volodymyr and Olga and it was an absolute honor to be a part of their journey into marriage. The reception was filled with games, singing, and a lot of dancing. Surprising the bride and all of their guests, the groom sang a beautiful love song to his new wife leaving everyone at the reception in absolute awe. We loved this detail so much that we made his performance our introduction in their cinematic short film! Ending the night with a sparkler send off, Volodymyr and Olga made their grand exit into married life under twinkling hanging lights. The next day, we arranged a second day shoot in beautiful Napa Valley. At the stunning Castello di Amorosa, we captured incredible footage that perfectly added a whimsical, enchanted feeling to their wedding film. Greeted with peacocks and a breathtaking castle view, the aerial footage shot on our drone made for the perfect touch to end the shoot. This wedding was a lot of fun to edit and gave us videographers the opportunity to step out of our comfort zones to create a unique cinematic experience. We hope you enjoy this intimate Sienna Restaurant wedding video celebrating Mr. and Mrs. Ignato....

Hidden in the beautiful city of Capay is the stunning venue of Taber Ranch Vineyard. Consisting of a beautiful rustic barn, vineyard-side reception area, and a hilltop ceremony location, this all outdoor venue was a wedding videographer’s dream. With endless views of golden rolling hills, Slavic and Yana exchanged their vows in front of all their family and friends. Adding a unique spin of their own, the couple performed a unity sand ceremony in which both partners poured sand into one single container, signifying the union of their two lives. Sweeping the bride off her feet, Slavic and Yana made their grand exit as the guests threw rose petals into the air. Taking huge advantage of the stunning location, we were able to capture amazing footage in the vineyard, alongside blossoming trees, and atop stunning golden hills. With such incredible views, we were excited to have the opportunity to get some incredible drone footage of the venue as the couple celebrated their wedding day. Entering the ceremony in a vintage red convertible Cadillac, the newlyweds made their luxurious entrance as husband and wife. Filled with games, heartwarming performances from family and close friends, the bride and groom celebrated the start of their incredible new journey into married life. We were so grateful to be a part of this special day and we hope this video enraptures all the beauty and joy the wedding had to offer...

Local to many Slavic families, Andrey and Angelica celebrated their journey into marriage at Bethany Church in Sacramento. As a familiar and traditional venue to us wedding videographers, we had a great time filming this romantic wedding in the beautiful halls of Bethany Church. With September being the ideal in-between month for seasonal weddings, the weather was perfect as we filmed the preparation of the bride and groom. The excitement was bubbling over as the bridal party anticipated the first-look exchange between the bride and groom. Taking that excitement to the creative shoot, we filmed at the stunning Leland Stanford Mansion in downtown Sacramento. The amazing architecture of this State Historic Park made for the perfect location to capture tender footage shared between two people in love. Both the ceremony and reception took place at Bethany Church. Amongst family and friends, Andrey and Angelica took the next step into forever with each other as they excitedly shared their “I do’s”.

Nestled in the mountains near beautiful Lake Tahoe is the wedding venue Graeagle Corner Barn. On a clear sunny day, Jason and Kirsten prepared to take the next step into their life together. Embracing the incredible location, the couple each got ready in classic wood cabins of their own. Kirsten expressed her love for Bohemian style weddings and in so, incorporated the “boho” feel in her dress, in the ceremony backdrop, and even in the very carpet they stood on as they exchanged their “I do’s”.  Surrounded by their loved ones in the cover of beautiful forest greens, the outdoor ceremony was nothing short of breathtaking. As wedding videographers, we were excited to take advantage of the opportunity to get some amazing drone shots. With views of rolling forest hills and a beautiful rustic barn, the aerial footage truly captured the stunning scenery in which Jason and Kirsten chose to celebrate their special day. Finishing the night with dancing and laughter, the guests celebrated the union of Mr. and Mrs. Stubrich under twinkling hanging lights. Enjoy this Graeagle Corner Barn wedding video....
