LOVE STORY:
How did you two meet?
Sid and I met through my roommate Erik after I moved to San Francisco for nursing school. The very first time we met he had come over to hang out with Erik and I offered him a homemade wine cooler, specially crafted from Trader Joe’s two buck chuck. Needless to say, he was not impressed. After that, we became friends, followed by a blurry more than friends period and then a weekend away in Tahoe marked the beginning of “okay, we’re doing this.”
How did he propose?
It was a Friday. After work, we decided to visit a local winery up the road from our house, Wright Station. We purchased a bottle of wine and sat out on the large patio for a little wine tasting. I started to get a little antsy and said we should go somewhere else. Sid firmly disagreed, which in retrospect makes perfect sense. So, I said, "Fine. Let's go walk around." There was a gazebo down in the vineyard so we started to wind our way through the grapes to get there. Sid jokes that in the moments right before a man proposes, to anyone who might be watching, it looks like the man is about to murder the woman -- crazy eyes, grim features, leading the woman to a secluded place. However, I am happy to report that this was not the case in that moment. Instead, I turned around and found Sid down on one knee. He proposed and I was ecstatic. I started dancing around like a crazy person. So happy. I'm smiling even now as I write this.

WEDDING TALK:
How was the process planning your wedding?
Generally, pretty smooth. My mom and sister are very crafty and painstakingly detail-oriented. The hardest part is finding your vendors (especially if you're on a tight budget) and working with people's schedule and requirements, then the rest is just tedious -- address collection, save the dates, invitations and so on. The last month is pretty easy-- so there's definitely a light at the end of the tunnel.
Any Tips or Tricks for Brides who just got engaged?
Hire a day of coordinator-- It's a must have. Also, if you don't want to go on your honeymoon right after you get married, book a mini-honeymoon after the ceremony so you can enjoy things with your partner, recover, de-stress and digest everything before you have to go back to your normal routine.

Why did you choose Captured Cupid for photo &/or Video Services?
Affordable, especially considering the quality of the product. I loved the videos from previous weddings and the enthusiasm that Kevin had for capturing our wedding day. Also, there was a willingness to work with us on the budget and customize a plan that would incorporate footage for different wedding week events.
Were you happy with the service you received from Captured Cupid?
Absolutely. They went above and beyond what I had expected of them. Seriously. They came up a full extra day to get footage of our big pre-wedding 4th of July BBQ, the local parade, and then they stayed late to get shots of the fireworks! And then! After the wedding was over, they came up to Nevada City to get time lapse shots of the stars over our venue. Unbelievable. I mean this in the best possible way, but Kevin totally geeked out on our wedding with the new camera and it was awesome!
