Who says your first look has to be only with your partner?

Chilin’s first look with his little daughter Kalani (already stealing the show in her flower girl dress) was pure joy. Scoops, giggles, and tossing her in the air before the ceremony even began.

For Hannah & Chilin, their wedding wasn’t about following rules. It was about family first, warmth, and celebrating the life they’ve already built together—daughter, dog, forest cabins, and all. Moments like this are exactly why fun, unconventional wedding activities make your film feel deeply personal (and endlessly rewatchable).

Here’s a fun wedding idea:

Do a first look with someone who changed your life - your child, a parent, a grandparent.

Trust us… it hits different.

What if you could have the most fun wedding ever? You can!

Some couples ease into their wedding day.
�Laurie & Chad jumped straight into a frozen lake.
�Laurie & Chad’s wedding film is officially live, and it feels exactly like them—playful, grounded, and full of laughter.
Set at Miller’s Landing in Lake Arrowhead, their story unfolds through winter air, cowboy boots, sunflowers, funky country rock, and the kind of moments you can’t script. From a spontaneous lake jump to quiet, meaningful memories woven throughout the day, this one’s about partnership and choosing “we.”
�Comment LAKE and we’ll DM you the link to watch.�Save this for later & follow along for more real love stories.

Avoid these common wedding speech blunders to keep your day perfect! 🎤✨

A great wedding speech isn’t about being flawless — it’s about being real. Take it from this maid of honor: even the friendships that have “you’ll never be in my wedding” moments can turn into the biggest laughs and loudest cheers when the story is told with love.

Speech tips to steal before the mic is in your hands:

• Don’t roast without redemption — always land the story with heart
• Skip the inside jokes only three people understand
• Keep it short, intentional, and true to your relationship
• Practice once or twice so nerves don’t steal the moment

These are the moments we love preserving — the laughter, the honesty, and the reminder that love (and friendship) always wins in the end.

Comment SPEECH if you’re anxious about giving that perfect wedding speech.

Stay tuned for the official film to drop!

Black & white is a total vibe.

And when you combine it with a stunning tux/dress combo and classic Beverly Hills architecture, the results are tremendous.

Kat & John’s dream was to have an engagement session that built up to their wedding day, creating a nostalgic 1920s Hollywood feel. Perfectly timeless, effortlessly them.

I think we succeeded. Don’t you?

Comment “HOLLYWOOD” if you want a similarly timeless Hollywood vibe for your wedding film.

This moment right here? It’s why we love first looks.

A first look gives you space—away from the crowd, the timeline pressure, and the nerves—to fully feel the moment you see each other for the first time. For Ethan, that meant finally letting it hit him. Years of friendship, waiting for the right time, building a life rooted in love, faith, and family… all poured out in one quiet, emotional moment with Arianna.

From a film perspective, first looks:
• Capture raw, uninterrupted emotion (no holding it together for 200 guests)
• Create intimate audio + visuals we can weave throughout your story
• Allow more time together on the day, which means more meaningful footage
• Set the emotional tone for the entire film—from vows to the dance floor

We’ve seen it time and time again—whether it’s a groom getting choked up, whispered prayers, inside jokes, or laughter through tears—first looks give your wedding film heart. And when couples like Arianna & Ethan watch their film back, this moment becomes the emotional anchor of the entire story.

Are you ready to begin your journey to an unforgettable first look?

Wedding films > Hollywood blockbusters?

Do they have fancy visual effects and CGI? Nope.

Are they filled with professional award-winning actors? Not in the least.

But there’s one thing a wedding film has that most movies never will.

They’re REAL.

Real emotions.

Real stakes.

Real people with real love based on real stories.

And that genuine authenticity is exactly why we’ve spent the last thirteen years devoted to this craft. Because what we do captures something more beautiful and meaningful than most of the junk you’ll find on your Netflix queue.

And when you bring a spielbergian methodology to the crafting of your wedding film, then you gain a masterpiece.

That’s our aim every single time.

If that’s the way you want your wedding film to be treated, then we need to talk. Comment REALSTORIES to share your love story with us.

Why investing in professional wedding videography is worth every penny!

There’s nothing like watching a couple relive their day. The real reactions, the little breaths before the tears, and that moment during the first look when words fail and pure joy takes over.

For Sammy & Joel, who met back in college and built their love over a decade of life, moves, growth, and family… this moment was everything.

And their reaction to their film says it all.

Happy 3rd Anniversary, Sammy & Joel. Thank you for trusting us to preserve the heart of your story. ❤️
