Zahra & David Wedding

LOVE STORY: 

How did you two meet?

We met at a mutual friend/co-worker's welcome home party, in Washington, DC.

How did he propose?

He proposed on our balcony in Cancun, Mexico, on my birthday.

Where and When will you be getting married?

We got married at the Golden Gate Club, at the Presidio, in San Francisco.

WEDDING TALK:

How was the process planning your wedding?

Utterly exhausting. I live in DC, and doing the bi-coastal planning with vendors, and my family was absolutely horrendous. I am so incredibly thankful for my family. I couldn't do this without them.

Any Tips or Tricks for Brides who just got engaged?

YES! ENJOY your first few months of engagement, when it's really just you two with nothing hanging over your head. We started planning a month after we got engaged and that is really time I won't get back. Whether it's traveling, camping, having copious happy hours just you two, or sleeping in, just enjoy your time while you're engaged.

Why did you choose Captured Cupid for photo &/or Video Services?

It got really good reviews on thumbtack, unfortunately, I had nothing else to go on.

Were you happy with the service you received from Captured Cupid?

I have yet to see the highlights video, but the original teaser came out great. I'm upset we didn't get to use our drone, but that wasn't Captured Cupid's fault. Kevin and his team were very professional and kind throughout the wedding, and we barely noticed them there. Some of the shots we thought were awkward, but they ended up coming out AMAZING in the teaser video. They OBVIOUSLY know what they're doing. I'm very excited for the highlights video.

Lindsay & Phillip Wedding

LOVE STORY: 

How did you two meet?

We both swiped right! :) Neither of us ever expected to find something special on a dating app, but we’re both so glad that we did!

How did he propose?

While on vacation we decided to spend the day at Lake Alpine, which is a beautiful and quiet lake tucked away in the mountains. We found a rock to sit on to take a break from exploring and that’s when Phil proposed! It was very personal, just the two of us, and definitely a moment that I will always cherish. 

Where and When will you be getting married?

June 23rd at the Lake Natoma Inn in Folsom, CA.

WEDDING TALK:

How was the process planning your wedding?

Since Phil and I live in Texas, we had to do long-distance wedding planning! Planning from far away forced me to stay extremely organized and I planned everything far in advance just in case there were any hiccups. I couldn’t have done it without all of my amazing and equally-organized venders and thankfully my parents live in Folsom so they were able to help a lot. 

Any Tips or Tricks for Brides who just got engaged?

Try to plan ahead and don’t leave anything to the last minute. The last month or so before your wedding is filled with showers, parties, and excitement. The more you have done, the more you will be able to enjoy that special time.

Why did you choose Captured Cupid for photo &/or Video Services?

Phil and I spent a lot of time researching different videographers and getting quotes from different companies. Kevin from Captured Cupid was the only one who wanted to speak with me over the phone, which I really appreciated. After chatting over the phone for awhile, I immediately felt at ease from his laid back and friendly personality. He easily worked with my budget and I felt that we were on the same page after our initial phone conversation. After weeding through a dozen emails from different videographers, his customer service stood out to me so Captured Cupid was an easy pick for us!

Were you happy with the service you received from Captured Cupid?

We are SO happy with the service from Captured Cupid!!! In the months leading up to the wedding I would routinely check in with all of my venders. But Kevin ALWAYS beat me to it! He called me a couple of times just to go over all of the details and make sure nothing had changed. I can’t express how much this meant to me as a stressed out bride juggling a hundred different things. Then on our wedding day Kevin and his team were awesome! Extremely friendly and professional.  I could tell that they weren’t just there to do their job-they were passionate and motivated to get the best footage possible. But what meant the most happened the day after the wedding when Phil and I were sitting in the airport on the way to our honeymoon. I received a text from Kevin saying that he had already put together a highlight video for us. We must have watched the video at least 20 times in that terminal, both overwhelmed with joy seeing our special day come to life through such beautiful footage. We can’t say enough good things about Kevin and his team and would highly recommend them!

Ana & Chris Wedding

LOVE STORY: (Bride's answers)

How did you two meet?

We met in medical school, he was from the Bay Area, I returned back to the area after going away for undergrad and grad school. The first week of med school we had lots of orientations and he always caught my eye, and I found myself trying to be around him. We sat near each other in classes and soon shared friends and started studying together. He asked me out a few months into the first year, and the support of a partner who is going through the rigors of the program was an amazing bonding point. 

How did he propose?

I was a figure skater growing up, and I LOVE Christmas- so he planned a vacation to the Olympic Village in Tahoe the week before Christmas, took me up to the ice rink, and proposed as family looked on and recorded it all! It was snowing, it was perfection.

Where and When will you be getting married?

We continued our Christmas / Winter theme, got married a year later in Sacramento at the end of December. It was important to us both to have the ceremony in a church, but we definitely wanted an amazing reception, and what actually came of that day was far and beyond our dreams. 

WEDDING TALK

How was the process planning your wedding?

It was a rather rapid process for me, I had 6 months to plan it, and being a Resident Physician made it all that more challenging. I had days I would walk the hospital halls calling DJ's, video chatting with the planners, and endless endless emails. I relied on my almost sister in law quite a bit, she went to a lot of appts with me, and was my voice of reason a lot of the time ('do I want cupcakes? should I do my hair like this?'). It was actually a true joy, my heart was so full of excitement and love that the process was a representation of.  I had tons of ideas from pinterest in various boards, and it was so satisfying to see them come together. I worked with amazing people from the florist to venue coordinators, it made the planning really enjoyable and personal.

Any Tips or Tricks for Brides who just got engaged?

Work with good-hearted people. I enjoyed the process and trusted the planning because the people I worked with were amazing, kind, hard working. They were all people I would see myself having dinner with. 

Save pictures of everything you like, reflex- just save it all every time you see something. Then, go through your pictures and you'll see a pattern of what you tend to like... this is your theme! It is as easy as that! 

Captured Cupid ?’s and Answers

Why did you choose Captured Cupid for photo &/or Video Services?

I yelp searched for videographers, Kevin came up, among others, and I just started to call people. Again, I am a personal feeler, so I had to have the connection to someone to work with them... which needless to say I had instantly with Kevin. He was easy to talk to, kind, invested and willing to work with my needs. He was always responsive to emails and calls, I felt very comfortable trusting this huge task to him.

Were you happy with the service you received from Captured Cupid?

Absolutely! He was so easy to work with the day of, fun to have around, and was as excited as were!!! That investment made his work so personal and phenomenal, he captured us the way I want to always remember that day!
