The story of the proposal is different depending on who you ask from this beautiful couple.

According to Kim:
The couple went to New England in July for a friend’s wedding. They decided to make a big trip of it because Rob had never been (it’s where Kim is from).

On July 25th, they went to Seabrook, NH. It’s the beach town that Kim grew up going to every single summer. It’s also a private beach so Rob couldn’t find any parking. He was insisting that they illegally park and leave the car on the side of the road. Kim refused out of fear of getting a ticket, or even worse towed! Finally, Rob stopped in front of a house that looked empty and insisted on getting out. Kim was so mad. When they walked down to the beach there were people EVERYWHERE. Rob then fumbled around in the camera bag before pulling out the ring box. He got down on one knee and asked Kim to marry him! She was so shocked she said, “Are you serious?” several times before saying yes.

According to Rob:
Rob grew up always going to the beach with his grandparents during the summer, just as Kim did.  He knew that we would be driving by the beach town she remembers as a child, Seabrook, NH. So he told her he wanted to stop and see ‘her’ beach!

Well, Rob didn’t know that this town did not have any public parking for beach access. So he lets just park for a minute and run down to the sand just to see it. Kim was not having it. She was worried the rental car with all of their stuff would get towed.

While Rob tried to get Kim down to the beach, the entire time he was thinking “Are you kidding me?! Just do what I ask for one second! If I have to, I will ask you to marry me from the beach on my cell phone! This was going to happen here!!!!”

Finally, Rob just pulled over in front of a seemingly empty house and said they were getting out of the car. Kim was not happy, but did agree, just for a minute

Rob fumbled with the camera bag, and got the ring out. Meanwhile Kim is looking confused Rob drops to one knee, in front of a city of people enjoying the ocean.

How They Met

This adorable couple Nick and Cynthia met about 10 years ago in the High school marching band! Nick played snare on the drum-line and Cynthia was in color guard. They dated briefly back then but it just wasn’t the right timing. In February of 2013, they reconnected and have been inseparable ever since!

Cynthia had booked a trip to Northern California to visit Nick’s older brother and the vacation was actually a birthday surprise for Nick! She had bought the plane tickets and arranged the visit months before, and then surprised Nick at work a couple days before his birthday and took him straight to the airport!

The Proposal

On the day of the proposal, they planned on going to San Francisco to sight-see. The happy couple walked along the beach and wanted to get close to the Golden Gate Bridge for a photo. In typical San Fran like fashion, it was cold, windy and foggy. They walked as much as possible, so they could try and get a good view.  They got about as close as they could, and just as they were about to take a photo Nick got down on one knee!

We love the details that went into this wedding, from the gorgeous flower head wreath that Cynthia wore, to the perfect signs that led you down the aisle.

Jessica and Travis wanted an epic wedding so what better night to have your wedding than on the biggest party night of the year??? New Years Eve!!!

They chose the gorgeous Montelucia for their wedding celebration. The vision of the day was all that glitters. Jessica opted for glitz, glamor, and sparkle throughout her event. For her Ceremony, she chose ghost chairs with life-size letters that spelled out love as her backdrop. They also had a personalized aisle runner with their names and wedding date. It was all very dramatic and romantic with the dim lighting and candlelight.

They chose for the entire event to be held in the Castillo Lucerno so what that means is that space had to be flipped during the cocktail hour to accommodate the reception which is no small task. Jessica and Travis exited their Ceremony through a tunnel of sparklers to head off to take photos and enjoy some cocktails. During the photo session, Jessica had gotten these giant balloons to take photos with and they were just adorable.

They headed back into the Castilo for their reception and to dance the night away and ring in the New Year. For decor, for the reception, Jessica went with white floral and sparkle linens with silver touches for her reception. No detail was undone from the ghost chairs to the Chargers to the centerpieces to the acrylic initials to the crystal candelabras. It was all too die for and every bride’s dream wedding. To celebrate the stroke of midnight and the New Year they blew off confetti canons.

It was definitely a night to remember!! One amazing thing about their wedding date??? They will NEVER forget their anniversary!!!

The Omni Montelucia Resort is one of the most beautiful properties to get married at in town. So many options for your Ceremony with all of them having a backdrop of Camelback Mountain. Videographer Phoenix.

The Wedding 

Alex and Ryan chose the Valencia Lawn as their Ceremony site.The Valencia Lawn offers a beautiful wooden arbor that has become overgrown with greenery and it’s so natural and pretty. Behind that Arbor is a picturesque view of Camelback Mountain. The Arbor was the perfect match for her neutral color palette. Her bridesmaids wore neutral floor length gowns that complemented the gentleman’s gray suits. Ryan wore suspenders and a bow tie making him look so dapper and formal. At the beginning of the aisle, she had giant wine barrels with floral on top of them. Her bridesmaids carried baby’s breath bouquets that added to the whole vintage chic feel to the wedding. Alex was in a lace halter bridal gown and as she made her way to Ryan she walked towards him down

At the beginning of the aisle, she had giant wine barrels with floral on top of them. Her bridesmaids carried baby’s breath bouquets that added to the whole vintage chic feel to the wedding. Alex was in a lace halter bridal gown and as she made her way to Ryan she walked towards him down an ombre petal carpet of pink petals. Super gorgeous!! They chose to do a wine box instead of a unity candle during their Ceremony and I love that idea.

It gives them something to cherish and look forward to opening as they celebrate their years of marriage. They also opted to have each of their guests sign a puzzle piece instead of a guest book. The sign read “Without you, our puzzle isn’t complete. Please sign a piece.” I love this unique and personal touch that replaced the guestbook.

Most couples have never hired Wedding Videographer before so they have no idea what to look for or what questions to ask. Here is a guide on how to select the right Wedding Videographer for you as a couple.

Style… The first think you need to identify with is the style of the Wedding Videographer. Take a look at their website samples and review their blog. Ask to see films from the venue that you are getting married at. Don’t bypass that videographer if they haven’t filmed at your venue though. That is often times a good thing because they see it as a blank canvas and it actually stimulates creativity to be able to film at a new location. If you are finding yourself sending who you want to hire samples of other videographers work then hire the videographer that you are sending samples of… If you are asking to change that videographers style then they aren’t the videographer for you.
Experience… It is really important to look at the experience of the company you are hiring. How many years have they been in business? Have many wedding seasons have they gone through. Do they specialize in weddings or all video production? You want to work with a company who specializes in wedding films. Weddings are a very different animal than commercial video production because they are live events. We get one chance to get the shot so live event experience is a must.
Videographers… Who will be filming your wedding? Do they have a staff of videographers that are trained to film weddings or do they just hire freelancers to shoot the weddings booked. Be very aware of this. Freelancers can operate cameras just fine but they may not be trained in filming weddings. Weddings are live events and require a specific level of expertise. It is important that your team of videographers is in sync that day and has experience with one another and is not just randoms hired to film your event.
A One Camera Package Is Never A Good Thing… The offering of Packages with one camera and one videographer is NEVER a good thing. Do not purchase this despite the temptation of the low price. It is very dangerous for your wedding film for so many reasons and you truly are selling you and your wedding film short.
What if something happens to the one camera they are filming on. Then what… All filming stops while they figure out a solution?
What if something happens to the one card they are recording on. If your wedding is filmed with one camera and one data card and the card fails… Then what? Your whole day that was recorded is lost?
So much is missed when filmed by one person because they can’t be in 2 places at once.
You only get one angle of everything.
Service… Who will you be working with throughout the process? Are you working with a sales person who just sells you on the service and passes you off? Will you be working with the owner or have access to the owner should the sales person leave? Your wedding film is a very important investment. Who is servicing you and how they are servicing you is of utmost priority.
Investment… You truly get what you pay for with wedding videography. There are a lot of low cost providers flooding the marketplace with some very cheap packages. A quality wedding film is definitely something worth investing in. If a company is significantly less than others in the marketplace there is a reason why. You need to look long and hard at their product and what your experience will be like with them. Quality wedding videography is not cheap and owning a wedding videography company is not cheap. There is a reason the pricing is the way it is for a legitimate company that may cost more. You may need to be concerned about the low cost providers ability to still be in business by the time your wedding comes if the price point is so low.
Watch Out For Fluff… You need to look at the meat and potatoes of the Collection or Package you are purchasing. There are things that videographers offer to make a Collection or Package look like you are getting so much that is truly of no value. For example the Raw Footage… Everything that is usable is going to be in your film or films. Everything else is what was on the cutting room floor. When you get the Raw Footage there isn’t a mountain of memories that was missed because if it was good it would have made it into the film. So pretty much is all of the stuff that didn’t make the film is generally the practice shots and out of focus stuff. See… No value… Plus are you ever going to really look at hours of footage? What would you do with it? What matters most are the deliverables and these are what you need to be asking for:
How many hours of videography are you getting?
How long is the Feature Film?
Are you getting a Wedding Movie Trailer?
How many Videographers will be at your wedding?
How many cameras will they be filming with?
Delivery… How the company delivers a finished wedding film is important. Are they delivering on old outdated technology like DVD’s and Blu Ray’s. Those are both dying technologies that in a few years won’t be around. Asking for a DVD is like asking for music on a cassette tape or CD. Everything is going towards streaming, downloadable films or URL based delivery methods. These are how you should be delivered your film at this point.

A Royal Palms wedding in the Alegria garden is absolutely dreamy. The rain kept this couple out of the Alegria Garden for their nuptials but they didn’t let that ruin their wedding day.

The Wedding

It was time for Plan B. Plan B was so gorgeous though that you never would have known that it wasn’t Plan A!! They wed under a covered patio overlooking a reflection pond. The Ceremony had candelabras and a wooden cross adorned in greenery and ivory floral. Their reception was draped with deep, rich, shades of merlot and more candles that created a romantic ambience for an incredible celebration of their commitment to one another. From the gold Chavari chairs to what looked like hand drawn floral escort cards to a gorgeous 3 tiered cake decorated with the same merlot floral motif that carried throughout the event there was no detail that wasn’t carefully planned or designed by this discerning bride and it was all perfection.

The Bride and Groom

The bride to be wore a lace gown that had intricate beading and sleeves. While conservative in nature it was eye catching and stunned. Her accessories and floral hair piece along with her veil was the perfect complement to this stunning gown. The groom wore a classic black tux and bow tie. As she made her way down the aisle to her groom he wiped a tear from his eye. So moved my his gorgeous bride to be.

In 2009 Simply Cinema was born. The concept behind Simply Cinema is simplified cinematography for the budget minded couple. Often times videography is an afterthought for couples or seen as a luxury item. The Simply Cinema concept allows couples to get a quality film for a reasonable price. She is the baby sister company to Serendipity Cinematography. After 5 years under our belt and over 200 wedding films created Simply Cinema has been a huge success!! So we decided she was in desperate need of a makeover… So we tweaked her look and made her an even more fabulous version of herself!! We launch her new look with Pam + David’s sunset wedding at the Four Seasons Troon North.
