Breanne & Ben | Wedding Movie & Photos | Promise Garden | Pasco, WA

We love shooting military weddings…and Breanne & Ben both serve in our armed forces. (Did you know we provide military discounts?) Breanne and Ben are both even-keeled, but Breanne also have a lovable quirkiness about her. We enjoyed Ben's loving speech to his new bride, where he praises her for having a "mischievous twinkle" in her eye. Now that's a couple who can go the distance!

Promise Garden in Pasco provided the picturesque backdrop. Many details on their grounds means we have more to shoot — which we love. We took the guys to Chiawana Park to knock out the portraits, but otherwise we stayed at Promise Garden. Pizza Hut catered — it was fun to see so many pizzas in one place!

Alicia & Jason | Wedding Movie & Photos | Sawyer House | Yakima, WA

Alicia and Jason complement each other like no couple we've seen before: she's loquacious and outgoing, while Jason is quiet. But they share traits as well: they're both kind and think of others before themselves. We love shooting weddings of selfless people! Their venue, the Sawyer House, is listed as being in "Yakima," but some people referred to it as being in Zillah, and even Wapato. Wherever we really were, we were happy to be shooting there! Surrounded by orchard, this venue is perfect for small or large weddings: it never feels too big or too small. And the owners were so accommodating to us! As you can guess, we see all kinds — and they're among our favorites.

Platinum Entertainment provided their usual awesome DJ services. Fiesta Mexican supplied thousands of tortillas for their amazing tacos and burritos. 

Kim & Nolan | Wedding Movie & Photos | Terra Blanca | Benton City, WA

Terra Blanca weddings remain among our favorites: this Benton City venue boasts loads of greenery with many looks in a relatively small area. So it worked fine for Kim and Nolan to have us for just 7 hours since they weren't moving to a new location for the reception or photos.  Here's a case where opposites attract: while Nolan is reserved, Kim is whimsical and spirited. And we love their dichotomy. Nolan was Mr. Cool, and Kim sang to the camera! 

Sami & Tino | Wedding Photos & Movie | Tacoma, WA

Sami & Tino know how to party. From the family fireworks in Tacoma the day before, to the zip lines and ropes course at Northwest Trek, filming them was a blast! We were fortunate to capture their engagement photos, where we took them to shoot pool (watch out for Tino — he can hustle you!), share an awesome sundae at Rosie's Ice Cream Shop in Richland, and wade through the Columbia River.

And for the wedding, this was our first shoot in Buckley, WA. Tracy Castle provided a perfect setting, adding a touch of class. And it made for awesome aerial establishing shots — you've got to see their movie to see what we mean!

Ashleigh & Rodney Wedding Trailer | American Homestead on Chinook Pass

It can be painful to make a wedding trailer. Let me explain: we had so much amazing footage from Ashleigh & Rodney's wedding that distilling it into a 3-minute movie means stellar shots sometimes go unused.

This was our first time shooting at American Homestead on Chinook Pass, and we already hope we get to go back. There are loads of shooting opportunities with the open fields and aspen trees around. And D&Z Events did their usual stunning decoration work, providing us many detail shots.

But what really shined at their wedding was the bride and groom. Sure, the ceremony had 30 MPH winds, but you wouldn't know it when watching Ashleigh and Rodney in the ceremony; when this couple looked into each others' eyes at the altar, everyone knew this marriage was built to last.

Shelby & Chris' Wedding | Camp Dudley | Naches, WA

Not every wedding goes according to plan. OK, almost none do. But construction on the only road into YMCA's Camp Dudley caused hours of delays! Instead of panicking, people just decorated more! Who knew a YMCA camp could make such a stunning wedding venue? The ceremony had a beautiful lake as the backdrop, there was plenty of room for guests to roam and socialize, and Shelby & Chris took advantage of the kayaks at sunset. Seriously — a bride with a cute umbrella during a stunning sunset? Love it.

Amaris & Alex's Wedding | Spanish Assembly of God | Othello, WA

We had the pleasure of shooting Amaris & Alex's engagement photos, which also afforded us the opportunity to get some shots of them to include in their highlight movie. Baseball is a huge part of their lives, so it was super-cute to film them at a Tri-City Dust Devil's game at Gesa Stadium in Pasco. When Amaris told us the reception would be in a gym, we were nervous that it wouldn't look enough like a wedding. We were *floored* by the decorating by D&Z Events — we'd never seen such a transformation! It ended up being one of the best-looking venues we've filmed.

We're excited to finally share them with you!

Angie & Brandon's Wedding | The Whitehouse | Coeur d'Alene, ID

Angie & Brandon are one of those couples you know will succeed in marriage. They'll be the ones winning the "anniversary dances" decades down the road. They love to have fun together, and it shows. They're huge swing dancers, and they're amazing! You have to see the movie to check out their moves. The local roller rink, Rollerena Skating Center, let us take some shots after they closed — it was so cool! We also got some fun engagement footage at some fields and a secret local winery. On the day of the wedding, the guys all hung out at Triple Play, riding go karts and playing mini golf. The girls spent time together getting ready at the Blackwell Hotel in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Then it was across the street to The Whitehouse for a perfect outdoor wedding.

They broke out the glow sticks, and along with the live band, the party was on!

Courtney & Troy's Wedding Trailer | Tri-Cities, WA

Paddle boarding? Go-karts? Talk about a fun couple! We got to film them on Lake Chelan hanging out, throwing footballs, and getting on the water. And of course they had a wedding. Faith Assembly in Pasco provided plenty of room to work with (that church is huge!). Then off via limo to Chiawana Park where we got in some aerial shots of the bridal party. Then off to Three Rivers Convention Center in Kennewick, where they always do a great job with events; weddings are no exception.

Courtney & Troy are truly a gracious couple. You don't have to spend much time with them to know that they are giving, loving people. We're so thankful to have shot their wedding!

Amy & Colt's Wedding | Anthony's Banquet Center | Richland, WA

This loving couple provided us the opportunity to get footage from so many locations! Richland Parks, Terra Blanca Winery, Meadow Springs Country Club, Anthony's Banquet Center, and a couple amazing houses. In the end, we had over 1,000 camera clips to work with! firefly BLU has exclusive access to a secret winery in Benton City. Because Amy & Colt had us all day, we got to take them there and take advantage of some amazing scenes.

Amy & Colt also had the largest bridal party we've seen in a while — about 30! You really get the sense they're well-loved with so many people supporting them.

After the short ceremony, they partied on at Anthony's. Then lots of dancing, followed by a sparkler-laden exit. It was an unforgettable day, from start to finish.
