Tyler & Jenny // Middletown, CT

None of our crew had ever been to Connecticut before, so when Tyler and Jenny asked us to fly out, we were more than happy to make the trip! Along with their family and guests, we all stayed at a cool little brick hotel on Main Street  in Middletown. This was definitely the quintessential American “Main Street” with a distinctly East Coast vibe. Unlike our home town of San Diego, Middletown is embedded in a beautiful, green countryside rich with forests full of trees…or maybe it just seems that way in comparison to our nice desert climate here in SD :)

The day before the wedding, we were invited to tube down the Farmington River with Tyler and all his guys. Needless to say, it was amazing. We floated peacefully down the river for two hours, staring lazily up through the trees that towered over us on both sides, soaking in the warmth of the sun. Yeah…it was a much needed change of pace. Very rejuvenating.

Alright, moving on to the actual day of the wedding. We started the morning by rolling out of bed, showering, and walking two feet down the hallway to Jenny’s room where all the girls where getting their hair and makeup done. If only the start of every wedding day we film was that easy! The rest of the morning went pretty quickly as it usually does, and before we knew it, we were off to the Wadsworth Mansion where the photographers waited to capture alongside us Jenny putting on her dress.

After that, we left her side to explore the estate with cameras in hand and found no shortage of inspiration. If you haven’t already, go watch Tyler and Jenny’s wedding trailer and let us know what you think of our first East Coast wedding!

Teejay & Michelle // Carlsbad, CA

The bride, Michelle, and her girls started off the big day at Hyde Edward Salon in Little Italy for some hair styling. Then it was off to their spacious suite at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Carlsbad to continue with makeup. From there the day just flew by, from Michelle and Teejay’s first sighting of each other to the romantic ceremony in the Park Hyatt’s central courtyard. All in all, it was a wonderful wedding that we were thrilled to be a part of! Congratulations Teejay & Michelle!

Jayson & Abigail // Lakeside, CA

Well, we had a great time filming these two! They are amazing people inside and out. The location for the wedding wasn’t too bad either…Barona Resort and Casino is surrounded by mountains and lakes, and made for a beautiful spot for these two to get married. Everything from the getting ready, the first look, the ceremony, and the reception took place at Barona. That made our lives so much easier! It really was a blessing to have everything close by and made the day go a lot smoother. You’ll see at the beginning of the film that Jayson sings to Abigail…there were a lot of special moments throughout the day, but that one just took the prize.

Congratulations Jayson and Abigail!
