Just popping in on this lovely Friday to remind you to not stop dating while planning your wedding.

Let this post give you permission to put down the planning and just be with one another.

Go get dressed up all cute and go to dinner or maybe you just need a fun night in with board games, movies or to finish that Netflix binge you've been neglecting. Maybe take this weekend and put being a bride on pause for a moment and just be a couple. It will do wonders for you, lovely!

You will thank me later. Now go have fun! You deserve it.

In today's world, we have advanced video capturing devices that are more readily available than any other time in human history. So this begs the question: if that is the case, why do I need to spend so much on a wedding videographer? Why are they so dang expensive?

While I could bore you with the technicalities and nuances that justify the high price tag, I won't despite that playing a vital role. I am going to focus on something far more important. While you can have the best equipment in the world, that alone won't be able to capture and create a timeless wedding film that you and your family will cherish for generations.

As professionals, we have devoted years into investing in high quality equipment, gaining the expertise to know how to use that equipment effectively, and the skill and experience to capture once-in-a-lifetime moments in an artistic and intentional way. There are so many things that can and do happen on a wedding day. Wouldn't you trust someone who has seen it all before, ten times over, to know how to navigate the day to capture everything you want, as well as help be a calming and voice of sanity throughout the day?

There is also the hours upon hours that we dedicate to planning and crafting your film, which we tailor to each couple's unique style, preferences and love story. We craft timeless heirlooms that not anyone with a computer and an iPhone can replicate. The cost reflects so much more than just someone recording a video. You are investing in so much more than that, something that your future grandchildren will thank you for investing in.

You need to hear this today.

You can do this!

Planning a wedding can be stressful. There is so much expectation and outside pressure to get everything perfect and live up to the standards set by our culture and social media.

I’m here to tell you that you have what it takes to plan the perfect wedding. Not perfect by society’s standards, but the perfect wedding for you and your fiancé. Don’t forget that you have the stamina to get through the hard and challenging parts of this process to enjoy the fruits it will produce on your special day.

You are seen. You are strong. You are resilient. Build the wedding of your dreams! You’ve got this!

Let's talk wedding parties!

These are your closest friends, those who have been with you through thick and thin and are part of your story as a couple. While your day is about you and your love story, it wouldn't be complete without the strong supporting cast you have surrounding you. Whether you have a 20 person bridal party or you have two people, those who are standing there by your side have been there through it all and should play a role in your wedding film!

I love creating unique and special ways to get your crew involved that are tailored to you! One of my favorite ways is having all of your bridesmaids/groomsmen gather around during your prep time and tell stories (prompted by yours truly) about your relationship, sharing their side of the story. There is nothing more grounding than having those closest to you share their experience and their feelings about this day and your love story that you may never have heard before. They can be some of the sweetest memories! Just get a tissue box ready and be ready for possible touch ups. 😭

Which camp do you live in: bigger or smaller wedding parties?

No, no, no, no, no! (Insert Michael Scott's freak out here). I can hear planners across the world scream from here…

Welcome to a new series, Wedding Confessions! We will share past confessions from couples and react, hopefully be able to provide some insight and at times, cringe a little…

Definitely DON’T do this! No matter how big or small it is, you should always have a budget to help keep track of your spending, knowing how much you can spend on specific items or services and keep you organized. Wedding planning can get a bit chaotic at times and having a solid game plan to stand on will be invaluable. Besides, some planners won’t even consider working with you if you don’t plan on creating a budget. All around, it’s just a very wise idea!

Something that brings me such great joy is surprising my couples. For Aubrey & Carlos, I secretly planned to create a short same day edit for them to enjoy during their reception. Their reaction was priceless and lives rent free in my mind.

At the end of the day, its about the little things that make a big difference. You never know what going above and beyond for someone could do. It could just make their entire day. Never cease in doing good, even if it goes unnoticed. It matters.

Thank you for capturing this priceless moment!

While I’m no marriage counselor, there is something so intrinsic about this quote that we can glean so much wisdom on. Allowing your partner (and yourself) to grow and change is so crucial to a long and happy marriage. You marry someone knowing that they will not be the same person in 10 years, but that’s ok. You get to fall in love with different versions of the person you’ve chosen to spend the rest of your life with. You get to fall in love and choose each other over and over again. I’m not sure if there’s anything more romantic than that.

Can you believe it is already the middle of August? I swear it was March not that long ago. I blink and now here we are, closer to 2025 than we are the start of 2024...

Which camp are you in? Are you glad this year is starting to wane or are you freaking out that this year has been going by so fast? Or are you like me and are stuck somewhere in the middle?

If it isn’t at the top, it is one of the top and most consistent regrets that brides have: not hiring a professional videographer or overlooking them.

This statistic causes me such grief. A wedding is a once in a lifetime moment, where you are blending two families, two cultures, and two lives forever. It is an event that you cannot replicate. Yet so many couples think that getting a photographer or having Uncle Phil whip out his iPhone and capture a few video clips will suffice. Yet the reason this continues to be a staggering regret is after the wedding day, brides realize that it wasn’t enough.

You truly need a professional, who has the experience, expertise and equipment to capture such precious moments. We have spent years and thousands of dollars and logged hundreds of hours perfecting how to capture a wedding. You want a professional to craft a film that will become an heirloom for you and your family for generations to come. Sorry Uncle Phil.

Don’t become part of this statistic. Do yourself a favor and when making cut downs on your wedding, don’t overlook your videographer. Your future self will thank you. Video is worth the investment. Your treasured memories are worth the investment.

Can we address the elephant in the room?

Things are hard right now. Like royal suckage, big fat lemons kind of hard. No one is unscathed.

I might be blind in one eye, but even I can see that things are tough right now. I'm right there in the trenches with you. But may I offer some glimmer of hope that doesn't sound like a shallow political promise?

You don't have to compromise on getting a wedding film just because finances are tight. You don't have to forgo getting your precious memories preserved because circumstances are challenging.

I'm here for you and I see you (with all of my one good eyeball.)

I am making some major transitions with Blue Pine in order to serve you better and create wedding films for you at the quality you have come to know and love, but not ignore the fact that our world looks very different than it did when I got into this industry six years ago.

One thing I am offering is completely customized packages to meet each and every one of your needs. Everyone's circumstances look different, now more than ever. I want to live up to my promise of making wedding films that are as unique as your fingerprint; they meet you where you are and reflect who you are and what you value.

We will get through this together and I have complete faith that the sun in shining on the horizon. We will make it through the storm and be stronger on the other side. Don't give up! There is always hope.

A wedding is the start of a marriage, the day you begin choosing your partner every day for the rest of your life. It's the recipe for a long, happy and healthy marriage!

When you think of elegance, what do you immediately think of?

For me, it's clean simplicity. Elegance is understated yet speaks so loudly. Nothing states that louder than photos and video in the classic black and white. There is something so timeless and elegant about it that connects us throughout the ages with it's simple elegance.

In a practical sense, if you’re dreaming of adding a bit of sophistication to your wedding, try incorporating classic details like a timeless color palette or delicate lace accents. Sometimes, it’s the little things that truly elevate your day and make it unforgettable.

What elegant touches are you considering for your wedding? I’d love to hear your ideas!

Cheers to September

Cheers to September! Who else is SO ready for the fall? After all of the heat waves and the fires, I know I am. Fall is the best season, end of discussion, especially for weddings. Fall weddings are by far my absolute favorite! What is your favorite season for weddings? What season are you (or did you) get married in?

Why hello there! Thanks for stopping by.

Allow me to introduce myself!

My name is Lauren and I am an Oregon based wedding cinematographer.

The first thing I want you to know about me is I am your biggest fan and cheerleader. To me, it’s all about you and your story! To me, there’s nothing more beautiful than getting to witness the love, the joy, the silliness (yes please bring on the silliness!), and the raw emotion that two people share and experience with each other. As a storyteller, being able to capture and tell someone’s unique story is such an incredible honor and a privilege I take seriously.
