From sandy beaches to epic vineyards, it feels like we’ve been pretty much everywhere. However, until now, we’ve never been a part of a wedding held in the forest. So you can imagine we were stoked when Kristin and Zander invited us to Lake Tahoe to shoot their Signature Wedding Film. Aside from the sprawling vistas and serene lakes, we got to capture a whole bunch of other magic that came from their intimate way with each other.
EDIT: Kristin and Zander requested that their video be kept private. So unfortunatly I’ve decided to take their video off of our public site. As we have started to take on a lot of weddings with celebs and high level executives, we’ll be releasing info about our new policy soon. Enjoy the screen captures from the video below!
 
Vitalie and I were in Tahoe for two days with Kristin and Zander. We spent the first day filming their interviews at the Martis Camp Lodge, searching for cinematic view points, and capturing their rehearsal dinner. One thing I love about their interview is how much thought they would put into their answers. They really took their time to compile their thoughts and then would answer while looking straight into each other’s eyes. Maybe it’s because they’re used to being around cameras with Zander working at CBS and Kristin’s career in acting. Their rehearsal dinner was at the Lake Tahoe Ritz Carlton. What a beautiful place! A bunch of people got up and spoke and I wish I could include more of what was said because there were lots of beautiful moments, all of which will be on their DVD.
The second day was the big one. We spent the day moving around Martis Camp which is where Kristin and Z built a home. The lodge, as you can see from the video, is absolutely off the wall beautiful. I can only imagine how beautiful it would be covered in snow. I find architecture designed for winter super impressive. With the massive wooden beams, giant granite terraces, and cozy fire pits; it just feels like a place you’d want to call home. In the morning, Kristin’s dressing room was crazy busy while Zander and his groomsmen were just chillin’ watching college football. It was funny to see such a contrast when the locker rooms were only separated by a flight of stairs.
We met some wonderful vendors while shooting. First, gotta say a big thank you to Andy and Kwon from AndySeo Photography. Check out Kristin and Zander’s Wedding Photos. It was also a pleasure to work with Mary Litzsinger from VP Events.
Spending time with Kritsin and Zander was fun, natural, and inspiring. We were so happy to be a part of their wedding experience and wish them the best for their future as a married couple.
We’ve had some pretty exciting videos come out recently. Consider it the summer bunch. Now we’re about to launch another streak of beautiful wedding films from the fall season.

These weddings include Kristin and Zander’s Signature Film in Lake Tahoe, Priya and Veeral’s Signature Film in Rochester, and Jordan and Jay’s Wedding Story in Chicago. You’re going to love all of ‘em. We’re also going to have our annual year end post that summarizes some of the great moments of the year. And, if we’re all lucky, maybe a couple other treats! Enjoy!
If you don’t LOVE this couple, I’ll be shocked. Ben and Betsy have it going on. And their wedding in Napa shows it. Make sure you watch this one; it’s got it all.
Aside from being an adorable couple, they’re both super friendly. Like, really really friendly people. I think this film totally lets you see that. They’re smiling all the time and you can’t help but feel their joy when hanging out with them.
Their wedding was up at The Carneros Inn and what a cool place it is. They have these cute little industrial designed cottages that have perfectly manicured lawns, flowers, and cute little fruit trees everywhere. The weather, as you can see, was perfection. It just felt like everything was lining up perfectly for their wedding. One of the best parts of their day was their ceremony. Loved seeing all the sunshades shining as a contrast to all of the green surrounding them. That, with the pinkish colored bridesmaid dresses, made up a very cheerful color scheme. AND, their vows are way cute, especially how Betsy ends hers. Adorable.
You may be thinking, “wait, this guys looks familiar.” Well it’s probably because you’ve seen his twin brother’s wedding on the Sandbox Love Blog as well. This was the first time we’ve shown up to a wedding and been familiar with many of the guests. It was a wonderful feeling to be a trusted part of the Lee family’s wedding experience. We wish there were more twins!
A huge congratulations to Ben and Betsy. We think you guys are wonderful and we’re extremely honored that you chose us to make this film. Best wishes always!
UPDATE: Here are their wedding photos from One Love Photography on Style Me Pretty!
With Megan and Nathan, I felt like I knew them as soon as we said “Hi.” What a perfect couple! Incredibly well spoken, great smiles, and that charming way they look at each other. We quickly bonded over the San Jose Sharks, and within the first few minutes they felt like good friends. And so it is with great pleasure that I present Megan and Nathan’s delightful Signature Film…
We had the pleasure of meeting Megan and Nathan through one of our fav photographers, Ashley Maxwell. The bonus footage that you see was at a location that Ashley had found, and it was perfect for their wedding film. Cute houses, lots of color, and those beautiful boats. What a gorgeous setting.
Their wedding was held at Wente Vineyards in Livermore, CA and the weather couldn’t have been better. Gotta love the rolling California hills. In the morning, it was so fun seeing how excited Megan was. Her and her friends were joking around the whole morning and spontaneously busting out moves from their umbrella dance. So much good energy. Talkin’ about the umbrella dance… How cool was that? So cinematic! Nathan had know idea they were choreographing this dance, and the result was fantastic. He was completely blown away by the performance, and it was written all over his face.
To Mr. and Mrs. Primrose: Congratulations on a beautiful relationship and a gorgeous wedding. I love how you guys talk about “the little things” being the best things. It was an absolute joy being with you at your wedding and a pleasure to edit your film. We wish you the best and cannot wait to hear about your lives as you move forward as an amazing couple.
With Love,
Jesse
When I first met with Alia and Josh and they told me about their plans for their wedding, I smiled to myself and thought, “Wow, here is something that is going to be absolutely magical.” Then we rolled up to Alia’s family’s house in Calistoga, and that feeling grew. I know this film is a little longer than our usual length, but I assure you, watching this film will be worth it… and might even change the way you think about a wedding.
There are so many things I loved about their wedding. First, I loved that it was a multiple day event. Like they say in the film, they wanted to spend time with all of their family and friends. With multiple events, they had a chance to spend quality time with everyone.
The second thing I loved was how “custom” their experience was. They considered every little detail and thought about how to make everything relevant to their relationship. The result was a wedding experience that was filled with meaning, charm, and personality. One such detail was how they both decided to wear a certain scent for the week leading up to the wedding and during the wedding, so that they would have a smell associated with the wedding experience. What a cool way to bring back memories.
I was also incredibly impressed by Alia and Josh themselves. Their deep love for each other seemed like something that would have taken years and years to develop. In reality, they had been dating for a bit more than a year! Both of them have an incredible sense of what life is all about. And let’s not forget to mention their bold sense of style. Love it!
Check out some of the amazing coverage of this wonderful wedding!!!

Translation: In My Thoughts. Amber and Jeronimo’s Mexican wedding was nothing short of amazing. You’ve probably seen their wedding highlights film, and if you haven’t you should definitely check it out. We also made one of our Signature Films for them and… I have have to tell you… it’s one of our finest pieces. Make sure you watch the end, because it’s like, really seriously awesome.
Pretty cool way to end a wedding film eh? To explain the film a little bit… Amber and Jero had two ceremonies. The first day was a civil ceremony and a beach side party and the second was a Catholic ceremony with the epic reception.
Some things that I loved about their wedding. First, the beach. They had their wedding at sunset and it was perfect outside. The sea breeze blowing in on the hot sand. I just loved it, and the look of it. Second, that reception was off the hook. They had dudes on stilts, guys in full on masked costumes, and a huge live band that performed everything from old town country to top 40. Third, we got to hanging out with Amber and Jero in Mexico, driving around to all of the cool spots we could find. We definitely had a good time .
Oh, and that last sequence on the beach with the horses. That was at sunrise, not sunset. Yup… we don’t mess around when it comes to making these films. We’ll be posting a “Making Of” on Facebook soon!
