Kim + Nadia, The Citizen Hotel Videographer, UOP Videography

Posted on by Steffens Design

In a wedding, nothing shows true love more than a couple writing their own vows. They know exactly what to say to each other to bring tears and laughter. Kim and Nadia had wonderful, selfless vows that showed their true feelings for each other.

Kim surprised everyone by expressing his love in song; once, singing in a barbershop quartet and again on his own as he tinkers with the piano in his endless effort to entertain Nadia. Although we always go expecting an ordinary wedding, we have yet to find a single one.

Kim & Nadia, it brings us great joy to know that you decided on getting a videographer. We are so glad to have captured the unique memories of your special day. It was wonderful to see how well you both understand and care for each other. Thank you for the privilege of working at beautiful locations, especially the sunset balcony at The Citizen. We wish you the best in marriage!

James + Stephanie, Wedding Gardens Videographer, Newcastle Videography

Posted on by Steffens Design

Highlighted by the beautiful autumn leaves, the New Castle Wedding Gardens was a wonderful place to revisit for the wedding of James and Stephanie. It seemed as though it would be the usual wedding until the bride and groom arrived with their enthusiasm, excitement, playfulness, and fun. They both filled their special day with delight. The bride’s dress was gorgeous and both of their smiles were radiant.

We normally work to make our videos tear jerkers, but this wedding was extremely heart warming. Paired with the song chosen by James and Stephanie, Every Morning by Basshunter, this is one of our most fast paced, fun, and exciting videos that we have created. Editing this video was as much of a joy as watching it.

James and Stephanie, every aspect of working on your wedding has been wonderful. If we had only watched your wedding footage, we would know that your are an awesome and friendly couple. We hope that your love always shines so bright. Finally, thank you for the reminder to live life more lightly.

Nelson + Alexis, Pacific Oaks Vineyard Estate Videographer, Aptos Videography

Posted on by Steffens Design

In the hills of Aptos, California, Pacific Oaks Vineyard Estate is a hidden beauty. Nelson and Alexis’ wedding was set apart by this wonderful location. Because of the exclusiveness of this location, guests had to be shuttled in to attend.

There was a larger than expected attendance for this destination wedding. The excitement and enthusiasm of all who attend was captivating. By the end of the day we had a true understanding of their love for each other and we knew that their marriage would be a strong one.

Nelson and Alexis, thank you so much for choosing us to film you wedding. Your kindness, love, and playfulness was stirring. We really enjoyed getting to know you better through your actions and the wonderful things said about you both. We wish you a wonderful marriage.

Joe + Amelia, Silva’s Sheldon Inn Videographer, Elk Grove Videography

Posted on by Steffens Design

In a whirlwind of wedding preparations and activity, Amelia had one thing on her mind: Joe.  When she saw him for the first time on their wedding day, all of her worries melted away; she had been reunited with the love of her life.  When they embraced, time stopped for a moment; they were the only two that existed in the world.

Joyfully, Joe and Amelia vowed to be husband and wife in a romantic, candlelit room surrounded by their closest friends and family.  Their starlit garden reception that followed was something out of a vintage wedding magazine.  it was just gorgeous from the name cards and hand painted signs to the lights above.  Joe and Amelia stared fondly in each others’ eyes as they danced the night away.

Joe and Amelia, we loved being a part of your special day.  It is so wonderful the way that you light up when you see each other.  The wedding and reception were so beautiful!  There was so much thought put into the details.  Capturing your wedding for you was divine! ♥ Bryce + Melanie

Richard + Meredith, Napredak Hall Videographer, San Jose Videography

Posted on by Steffens Design

Once upon a time…we knew that we were done editing when tears came to our eyes. Richard and Meredith’s wedding changed everything for us. Within the first twenty seconds of Richard and Meredith’s single-song highlight video, both of us were already misty eyed. Richard and Meredith’s love for each other is so deep and so pure that it is normally only found in fairy tales.

Like it would be written in a fairly tale, Meredith saw her groom for the first time on their wedding day in a quiet garden. The joy that they felt in that first quiet moment together followed them throughout the rest of the day and brightened the lives of all present, including their family, friends, and us.

Richard and Meredith, you are both incredible. We felt like an extension of your family during our day together. Your family members were so warm and inviting that we truly enjoyed every moment of the day. We are both inspired by your love. You are the reason that we love what we do. ♥ Bryce + Melanie

Paul + Ella, Third Slavic Baptist Church Videographer, Sacramento Videography

Posted on by Steffens Design

Both playful and creative, Paul and Ella made their wedding day an unforgettable event. Ella and her bridesmaid’s prepared in style at the Embassy Suites Hotel while Paul and his groomsmen prepared at the Hampton Inn & Suites.  As Ella straightened her bird cage veil, Paul and his groomsmen pulled up to the Embassy Suites in three classic Chevy Impalas.  He paced nervously in the lobby waiting to meet his bride for the first time on their wedding day.  A glance at the elevators that Ella loved so much reminded him of that special day not long before when he asked her for hand in marriage within their glass walls.  He greeted his bride shyly, took her hand, and escorted her through the streets of Old Town Sacramento where they were met by their chauffeured car.  Off to the ceremony and reception at the Third Slavic Baptist Church they drove.
