Hello to you all on this fine Thursday. I have something special to share with you today. As you may have noticed, we’ve been showcasing a lot of videos lately. That’s because, well, we love them! Thanks to the fabulous Tom O’Hara from AquaVivus Productions, who we’ve partnered with to give our clients these fusion videos of still images and video (Tom does the video, we take care of the stills). Every time we have a client that books us both we pretty much throw a party because he is such a blast to work with and we’re able to take a trip to the “collaboration station” (I know, hello CHEESY….couldn’t help myself, it’s almost Friday people!!!!!).
SO, it is my pleasure to share with you the wedding of a couple I ABSOLUTELY adore. Emily and Tyler are currently on some beach drinking margaritas, so they’re probably not reading this (if you are, no internet allowed on your honeymoon!!!!), so I won’t spend too much time gushing about how much I love them. Don’t you worry, we’ll have another post of just their pictures in the future where I can go into all the details. We shot their wedding in Carmel, CA last weekend and it was quite the wedding, a little bit of country and a little bit of beach, it was perfectly them. Emily and Tyler, you’re some of the most welcoming people I know and an absolute JOY to be around (and eat chocolate malts with). I hope you’re having a blast getting tan and I promise we’ll get together in San Francisco when you get back. Much love to you all internet and enjoy the adorableness that is Emily & Tyler (Chappy).
ps. let the video load all the way before you watch it (push play then pause and put on the patience hat. Go get some coffee, send an email…possibly to me? When you come back it will be ready for you. It’s WELL WORTH IT, I promise).
What? Wednesday and I’m posting a blog? That’s right, I just COULDN’T WAIT until Monday to share this with you! We recently had the pleasure of spending some time with Andie and Doug to shoot their engagement session. This engagement session was extra special though because we did our first ever e.MOTION (remember I mentioned this a few weeks ago?) with Tom O’Hara from Aqua Vivus Productions. Seriously, SO MUCH FUN hanging out with Andie, Doug, and Tom as we ran around downtown in search of a fire-escape and then headed out towards Julian for that oh so glorious light and those trees (OMG, those trees). Tom, as always, you rock and we had so much fun working with you. Andie and Doug, you two are seriously SO HOT, I’m not kidding. Thank you for such an amazing time hanging out and for all your camera fierceness! I can’t wait for your Calamigos Ranch wedding in August!!!! xoxo
Ok internet, to watch the video you might want to let it load before you watch it all the way through. If you’re interested in teaming up with STUDIOcastillero & Aqua Vivus to make an e.MOTION video (it’s a fabulous thing to show on your wedding day, to your future children, to the WORLD!!!!!) just send me an email and I will gladly give you more info (rachel@studiocastillero.com). Thank so much for sharing in our excitement with this new service and enjoy the video which we so lovelingly refer to as our “Collaboration Station” (watch for some pretty sweet behind the scenes footage of Rico and I). Love you all!
Don’t you just love Friday? I know I sure do! I have a special announcement for you all today too, so this Friday can be just a tiny bit better. We are joining with Aqua Vivus Productions to offer a new service to you! Yes, that’s right, a collaboration station (as Rico and Tom like to call it) will be happening and it will be pure awesome, I can promise you that. We will be offering our clients an optional add-on to their package called an “e.MOTION” (like engagement in motion…get it? GET IT????). It’s basically a short video vignette of their engagement session including pictures shot by us and video shot by Tom. Basically, it will be like our same-day-edit we did for Jeff & Melissa’s wedding (click HERE to view it). Instead of the wedding though, it will capture the excitement of the engagement that the couple can keep and show at their wedding, on Facebook, or to their kids, and friends all over the world even….you get the idea. It will even be available on BLUray if you want to play it at home in HIGH Def!! Yup 1080p!!
SO, I have included a “Love Story” below that Tom (from Aqua Vivus) offers his clients. Rico helped shoot this video too, and because it was so much fun we thought, “Why NOT offer something similar to our clients? But with a little STUDIOcastillero twist?!” So this isn’t an example per se, but will still give you an idea of what we’re thinking about (To get exactly what Brian & Heidi have here, you’ll have to go to Tom since it won’t be exactly what we’re offering).
The difference with an e.MOTION will be that we will include still photographs mixed in with the video and it will be set to music (so think sweet-survival-of-the-coolest-slideshow-mutation). We will have a real example soon…. so stay tuned. In the meantime check out Brian and Heidi’s “Love Story” below, their adorable rating is through the roof!
If you’re curious about this new e.MOTION service, what it is, how it works, the cost, just send me an email to rachel@studiocastillero.com
