Romantic Napa Valley Super 8mm Wedding Film from IQvideography – Katherine and Thomas

March 5, 2014 | Junebug Weddings

When Katherine and Thomas came to Alex Kon of IQvideography, they had a very specific vision of what they wanted their wedding day film to capture. Rising to the challenge, the entire wedding was shot on 8mm film and in 5D, all hand held. Bride Katherine and her groom Thomas both love film, and they wanted to honor and celebrate that. Beautifully composed and exquisitely executed – this is wedding cinematography at its finest.

A Surprise Anniversary Shoot from Holly-Kate & Company and Laurel McConnell Photography

When Seattle invitation designer Kerri Efendi decided to surprise her husband, Eldad, with a styled wedding anniversary photo shoot, who better to join forces with than local friends and wedding pros Laurel McConnell Photography and Holly-Kate and Company? The result was playful, stylish, imaginative and super sweet!

Here are a few words from Holly-Kate about the inspiration for the shoot: I am so lucky to get to work with such talented people! When Kerri approached Laurel and I a few years ago about helping her style an anniversary shoot for she and her husband, I was beyond thrilled! This past fall, we decided to make it happen and surprise Eldad with the photo shoot. We talked about incorporating a couch with some black and white elements – then she trusted the rest of the details to us! I knew that I wanted to pull together the color palette with touches of turquoise, gold and fuchsia.

If you have met either Kerri or Eldad before, then you know they are a stylish couple – always ahead of the trends! I love bringing a couples true style out when designing their shoot or event. They stayed the night at the Hotel Ballard for their anniversary – little did Eldad know what was about to happen. In the morning they decided to go for a walk in the park, they rounded the corner and there we were with a full surprise set up! We worked with some of our favorite professionals in the area to find the perfect items for the shoot – The Dress Theory (dress by Sarah Seven), Vintage Ambiance for the furniture, Floressence for our gorgeous flowers, The SweetSide for our lovely desserts and the rest of the details came from Holly-Kate and Company.

Wedding Photographed with a Cell Phone by Joy Marie Photography

At most weddings today, you can expect to see guests capturing meaningful moments on their cell phones, but what would happen if a professional wedding photographer captured all the moments of the wedding day using only her cell phone? When Nokia released their new Lumia 1020 cell phone, they got in touch with LA wedding photographer Joy Marie to see if she was up for the challenge. Joy jumped right in, as did the adventurous Crista and Chris, who were to be married in a romantic beach wedding at Capella Resort. The results were nothing short of magical so prepare to be blown away by beautiful landscapes and romantic wedding photos you won’t believe were captured on a cell phone.

The Couple: Crista and Chris

The Wedding: 11.8.13 – Capella Resort, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

The Goals: Our main goals was to be organized, and focused but at the same time to stay relaxed and let people do their jobs. We wanted to keep the guest list to our closest friends to keep the wedding intimate.

The Design: My vision/inspiration for our wedding day was vintage, romantic elegance. We included lots of twinkle lights, tea-lights and candles to create a glow. The colors were blush, champagne, light golds and shimmer. I had a cute sign made for our son to walk down the aisle before me. It says “Daddy, here comes your bride!” We wrote our own vows which was special. We also had a sparkler lighting entrance for when we were introduced as Mr.and Mrs after the ceremony.

The Moments: Seeing our son walk down the aisle was very emotional and another favorite part was the dancing, when all the men took their shirts off for the whole night! Lighting the wish lanterns was really nice as well.

The Photographer: We really felt like Joy and David were part of the family. The were like close friends and that made it very easy for us to feel comfortable and relaxed while they were taking photos. Joy is so easy to relate to and very giving.

The Advice: My best advice is to try and stay realistic. Remember the moment that you are in and just relax.

Isn’t that incredible? Watch this short video to see behind the scenes with Joy Marie capturing Crista and Chris’ wedding.
