Zach and Caitlynn Bell (August 28th, 2010) from curtis nemetz on Vimeo.

Tomorrow I will celebrate my 7th anniversary with my wife. I cannot think of a better way to be reminded of the pure, passionate, and God honoring love my wife and I felt for each other that day than by being a part of Zach and Caitlynn’s wedding day. Everything about them as individuals and as a couple is so honest and sincere. They have the type of relationship that everyone around them knows is here to stay.
There is always an extra element of pressure when filming a friend’s wedding. But with the pressure also comes a familiarity (I cried during the matron of honor speech ) that allows me a great confidence in telling their story.
Congratulations Zach and Caitlynn… I hope I told your story well. We love you guys and your family and appreciate your friendship.

Thanks to Ellie Grover and Lorie Chambless with Ellie Grover Photography for an awesome day of creative collaboration. Thank you to my beautiful wife for 7 years of marriage and coordinating such a gorgeous wedding. Thank you to DJ Brian and to Brad Cordova for assisting me with this wedding.

Andrew and Hazel (August 14th, 2010) from curtis nemetz on Vimeo.

In Grace Cathedral, atop Nob Hill in San Francisco, Andrew and Hazel Wing vowed to love one another until death parts them. Maybe it was the majesty of Grace Cathedral, or the awe inspiring view of the city from the Crown room on the top floor of the Fairmont. Whatever it was, the whole day seemed to have a sense of wonder about it. Vows tend to have an unusual weight to them in a place like Grace Cathedral. Andrew was calm and collected as he prepared himself for the big moment, and across the street, Hazel held back tears of joy as she put on her wedding dress. You’d be hard pressed to find a more sincere or mature bride and groom. Andrew and Hazel held themselves very well throughout the day and I’m sure their families couldn’t be more proud of them than they are now. We are so excited to see how Andrew and Hazel’s love influences those around them.
Thanks to Patrick Ang Photography for bringing sexy back and being a joy to work with.

There are times when wedding celebrations contain such an abundance of amazing memorable moments, it is nearly impossible to fit the day into a song’s length. From dancing dragons, hula dancers, 100 foot indoor water falls, and a picture perfect day in San Francisco, this wedding day was full of gorgeous moments to capture on film. Of course these details were all secondary to the love story of the couple. Messiah and Anh were so full of anticipation and excitement to become one, and we were given the privilege to witness the progression of emotions they felt throughout the day…. From Anh’s nervousness while getting ready all the way until she playfully bit Messiah’s ear before the reception! Congratulations to Messiah and Anh. It was such an amazing day and full of so many surprises.
Thank you to Colin Cabalka for filling in for Travis at the last minute and providing such amazing footage. Also thank you to ROCK THE IMAGE for everything. You guys were incredible to work with and I hope it happens again soon.

Brooke and Cameron from curtis nemetz on Vimeo.

Traveling to a wedding usually brings with it a sense of anticipation…and lots of nerves. You’re driving down the highway planning shots, trying to remember what you forgot, and drinking about fourteen Red Bulls. This wedding was no different, except upon meeting Brooke and Cameron, our nerves were immediately settled. The girls were upstairs getting ready at the beautiful Palos Verdes Clubhouse, and the boys were at Cameron’s house, requesting that photos be taken indoors on account of the World Cup game. Cameron and Brooke made us feel at ease and inspired us to create something special. At one point during the first dance, we turned to each other with the same thought, “these two are definitely in love.” You can see it on their faces and in their interactions with one another. Granted we only see couples for one day in most cases, but we’ve built a business out of capturing moments, and we didn’t want to miss a single one. Every passing glance was full of emotion and sincerity. Seeing Cameron’s face as he watched Brooke walk down the isle, brought us a sense of joy, knowing that we’d captured something truly special and literally, once in a lifetime.

Congratulations Cameron and Brooke!

Also we would like to say that it was an honor to work with Marianne Lozano Photography. They were so humble, friendly, and considerate to us the day of the wedding and we hope to work together soon.

Jayson and Ally Swen from curtis nemetz on Vimeo.

6 years ago I began working for a church with the high school group. Among the amazing group of kids I got to know, were two individuals named Jayson and Ally. I remember thinking back then when they began dating how high school relationships never work out. Fortunately, Jayson and Ally proved me wrong!
This was one of the most relaxed weddings we’ve been to in a while. Jayson and Ally were willing to let us take them all over kingdom come to get some great couple shots. We had them walking through the dirt, carrying couches and a bunch of other random stuff, all for the sake of art. Being referred to as “my creative team” by Ally herself was an honor. Days seem very short when you are filming a couple who’s love for one another is visible through the lens. The ceremony and reception were held in a beautiful backyard garden, thanks to friends of the family. Everything was absolutely perfect, but one of the highlights of the night was definitely the dance floor. An engineering masterpiece built by Scott Fults that covered the middle section of the pool. It was great seeing the guests dancing two feet over the pool with water on both sides. We’re glad there were no accidents, but it sure would have made for an interesting video!
Congratulations Ally and Jayson! It has been so fun to see you guys grow up into the amazing couple you are today. I know you will have an absolute blast being best friends and living life to its fullest.
