Samantha and Kevin are such a romantic and playful couple. You can instantly tell that these two are truly best friends. When they reached out for wedding videography, we were super excited! Before we take on new wedding videography clients, we always send them a thorough list of questions so we can get to know them better and make sure we’re a perfect fit for their wedding day. When we asked Samantha and Kevin who they are as a couple and how they would be incorporating it into their wedding day, they said they wanted to emulate an intimate, romantic dinner party. “We want all of our best friends together to celebrate love, especially after this wild year!”
This lead this couple to chose Carondelet House because they loved how romantic and moody it was. The Carondelet House is an Italian-style villa built in the late 1920s with an urban flair. Full of exposed brick and old-world charm, the Carondelet House is one of the most unique venues in DTLA! Samantha and Kevin loved the old Hollywood vibe and different spaces within the space too. This venue has over 7500 sqft to work with, both indoor and outdoor.
On the morning of their wedding day, Samantha and her bridal party got ready together at The Westin Bonaventure in Downtown LA. The ladies had a relaxing morning having their hair and makeup done by Elwynn and Cass. When we arrived to start shooting the wedding video, everyone was looking absolutely gorgeous! Samantha was wearing a beautiful and unique wedding dress handmade in Australia by a family-run company called Made with Love Bridal. Samantha even had a heart sewn into her gown that was cut from her mom’s wedding dress.

Before the wedding ceremony, we like to give you the option of a video interview. Typically, we will interview the bride and groom separately before seeing each other or walking down the aisle. During these interviews, we ask questions about how you're feeling and what you're most excited about. During these interviews, we are able to capture your raw and authentic emotions. Samantha and Kevin opted for our wedding videography interview, and we can’t wait to share it with you! For a sneak peek of their wedding video, click here!
