Emilie & Nick

Emilie and Nick are both creatives and self-described homebodies, so it felt natural to begin their wedding film at home, documenting the spaces they love most and their beloved dog. These intimate details offered a personal introduction to their story before the celebration unfolded in Santa Barbara.

Their wedding weekend took place at the iconic San Ysidro Ranch, where the lush gardens and secluded grounds provided an idyllic setting for a multi-day celebration. Guests gathered for an intimate dinner surrounded by the natural beauty of the property, with lemons and abundant floral details adding to the effortless California atmosphere.

Emilie and Nick were married in the gardens of San Ysidro Ranch, surrounded by lush, romantic florals by Camellia Floral Design. Their celebration was European-inspired, with a strong emphasis on hospitality, beautiful design, and creating a memorable experience for their guests.

Their wedding film blends archival footage from Emilie and Nick’s lives with Super 8 and digital cinematography. The combination of vintage imagery, intimate home footage, and contemporary wedding photography creates a timeless visual language that feels both nostalgic and distinctly personal.

San Ysidro Ranch is known for its secluded gardens, historic cottages, and peaceful setting in the foothills above Santa Barbara. The property’s ability to feel removed from the outside world made it the perfect backdrop for Emilie and Nick’s intimate California wedding.

The resulting film is a timeless portrait of two creative people and the world they have built together—beginning at home and unfolding into a beautiful, multi-day celebration at one of Santa Barbara’s most iconic wedding venues.
