Kim & Jairo's Carmel Valley Ranch Wedding | Short Film

Richard Grover

With fields of lavender and rolling hills dappled with old oak trees, the sprawling grounds at Carmel Valley Ranch were the perfect backdrop for Kim and Jairo's wedding film. We knew their wedding was a perfect fit. From the moment we started talking to them about the film they wanted us to create, and their plans for an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour, we couldn't stop thinking about how fun it was going to be to create their film.

"We love our video so much and Thank you so much! It is incredible and perfectly captured our wedding. Our friends are still talking about it! Even people who didn't come to our wedding have said they feel like they were there because of the video.  I shared it with my parents and I thought you'd like to hear my dad's response: 

"Now that our tears have dried on my laptop, I can tell you both your Mom and I loved your video and think that it completely captured that very magical day.  We’ve never seen the kind of artistry that is displayed in the video or a video that was so perfect in how it told your story and conveyed the joy that was shared by everyone.  The only thing that is better is having been a part of that day and we will forever be grateful to you both for making that happen.

… Mom needs a few more minutes and then we are going to watch it again!"

Thanks to you once again for giving us this phenomenal gift that we will enjoy for the rest of our lives!"

~Kim

Francis and Randi's Thomas Fogarty Winery Wedding | Short Film

Richard Grover

What can I say, I adore these two. From the first time we met Randi and Francis we knew they were perfect together and that it was going to be a joy to take part in capturing their wedding. The two of them are so sweet and full of love for each other and the people in their lives. Not to mention, they are hilarious and an absolute blast to be around. 

Their first sight has to be one of the most touching I have had the pleasure of filming.  Even after working on their film for weeks, watching it countless times, I still can't make it though with out tearing up. The love between these two is so heartfelt and genuine it's contagious.

"This is incredible and better than anything we could have ever dreamed or imagined. We just watched it twice in a row and sobbed both times. (You were right- should have grabbed the tissues!) We didn't want it to end! Thank you for capturing who we are and our wedding day so perfectly. It is magical. We are so touched and honestly, completely speechless.Thank you a MILLION times over."

~Francis & Randi

Thomas Fogarty Winery is a stunning venue, and this day with its blustery weather and drifts of fog turned out to be no exception. The weather was dramatic and it made for a day that was exactly what it was meant to be; it was a day focused on love, family, friends. It was a beautiful celebration of the commitment these two amazing people have to one another. We are so happy that we could be a part of it.

Featured on Carats & Cake | Natascha & Kevin's Santa Lucia Preserve Wedding

Richard Grover

This was one of our all time favorite weddings to be a part of, mostly because we absolutely adored this sweet and down-to-earth couple, but also because the preserve offered such an inspiring location and we had fantastic team of vendors to work alongside all day. It really was a perfect day and I’m so happy to see it published on The Carats & Cake! Check out the full feature and the full list of vendors here.

Santa Lucia Preserve Wedding Film

This was our first time filming at the Santa Lucia Preserve and we could not have had a better couple or a better wedding to introduce us to this huge venue. Every aspect of Natascha and Kevin's wedding was filled with elegance, romance and simple natural beauty. The grounds are surrounded by golden rolling hills dappled with oak trees, and tucked away on the property there's even a redwood grove! Not to mention the beautiful hacienda, and charming rustic barn.

One of Natascha's friends took the words right out of my mouth when she said to me, "When the doors to the barn opened, I was blown away. It looked like something straight out of a magazine!" The day was filled with beautiful details and breathtaking moments. The combination of location and decor was the perfect complement to who Natascha and Kevin are as a couple. Many of the details (like Natascha's stunning gown) reflected her wonderful sense of style, while the setting reflected Kevin's love of the outdoors.

The day was lovely in every way and we are so happy we could take part in capturing it. Working alongside Lindsey and Nathan from Bellalu Photography, Rebecca and Marisia from Rebecca Reategui Weddings and Special Events and Scott from DJ Cams made this gorgeous wedding a joy to capture. Natascha and Kevin couldn't have had a better group to bring their wedding together. You can find the rest of this dream team below. 

If, like me, you can't get enough of this stunning wedding be sure to check out Lindsey and Nathan's photos.

Gina & Steve's Santa Cruz Wedding | Short Film

Richard Grover

Gina & Steve are two of the kindest, sweetest people ever, and their day, full of thoughtful and personalized details, really reflected who they are as a couple. I could go on and on about these two and all the precious moments we took part in, but I think I'll let their film speak for its self. We are so happy we had the chance to get to know these two and take part in capturing this incredible day!

We had the pleasure of filming this wedding alongside our friend Danielle, a very talented and skilled photographer. We all had such a great time together and the light on West Cliff made for some truly gorgeous moments. You can find Danielle's work on her website: Danielle Gillett Photography

Stephanie & Dan's Marin Art & Garden Center Wedding | Highlights Film

Richard Grover

Stephanie and Dan's wedding reflected all the best qualities in their relationship, it was beautiful, intimate, fun, and full of love. Seeing these two together, I just can't help but smile. Their love, so genuine and tender, was beautifully expressed in their vows. We are so happy we had the chance to capture their love on film and tell their story. 

This was our first time filming at the Marin Art & Garden Center and we could not have been happier. It's a lovely intimate location with gorgeous grounds and lots of variety for filming and for guests to enjoy! We can't thank  Janece, from Every Elegant Detail, enough for introducing us to this wonderful couple and for making this day such a memorable one.

Marilena & Tyson's Levi's Stadium Wedding | Highlights Film

Richard Grover

I can’t think of a better way to start the new year than by editing this film from one of our most memorable weddings last year. This was one of those events that really stayed focused on the love and joy that was shared, and there’s no better kind of wedding in my opinion. Ric and I know these two are soulmates and we wish them a lifetime of happiness together.

I love unique outdoor wedding venues. So when Marilena and Tyson contacted us about filming their wedding on top of Levi's Stadium I couldn’t have been more excited. Of course this stadium wedding wouldn’t have been the same without this incredibly wonderful, and stylish, couple. Marilena's wedding gown and stunning veil made her the picture of perfection. She and Tyson looked so fantastic together, and were so fun to be with, that we could have spent a whole day filming just the two of them on that beautiful rooftop.
