At Life Stage Films, we aren’t only interested in your wedding day (although it is our main concern)!! We love to keep in contact with our couples and see where they go on their honeymoon and eventually watch their families get bigger and bigger! We’d love to be a part of all your exciting events, yet we know unfortunately, that this is not the case for your honeymoon. Since we can’t go along with you on your epic adventures, we want to provide you with the next best resources to Life Stage Films so that you too can capture great quality photos and videos together.

Cameras these days are improving tremendously with higher quality at cheaper prices. One of the main things to look for when you’re purchasing a camera is how many megapixels it has. The higher the number, the better! When we shoot our weddings we use the professional Canon 60D, 7D & 5D’s.We are happy to inform you that there are many reasonably prices consumer cameras available on the market that are easy to use and have great results. We are huge fans of Canon so we’d love to recommend their cameras. Check out some of the cheaper options on Canon’s website HERE! Below are some photos from our previous brides on their honeymoon as well as links to their highlight films! Enjoy:)

Mary & Gabe got married on Figure 8 Island over a year ago. They spent their honeymoon in the romantic city: Paris, France.

Kara & Shaun got married last year during their lunch breaks! They choose to have a small wedding so that they could travel all over Europe for their honeymoon! Below are some photos from Barcelona, Spain- Just one of their many stops together:)

These photos below where shot with the Canon SX260. Great for zooming, HD video and easy to shoot photos!

Blair & Sam had their wedding locally on Figure 8 Island and then went off to the beautiful Jade Mountain Resort in St. Lucia. Courtney & Albert celebrated their honeymoon in Patagonia, Argentina after a gorgeous wedding in Costa Rica.

We can’t wait to hear how your honeymoon goes and we hope you get the best pictures possible!

Lori and Matt enjoyed their wedding at the beautiful Driskill Hotel in Austin, Texas. It was wonderful to see the merging of jewish and catholic faiths and families during the ceremony. The day was full of joy, laughter, and of course the tradition of breaking glass at the alter. The reception turned into an upbeat party with a great band to set the tone. We wish you both the very best in your marriage!

Being present at Albert & Courtney’s wedding “fiesta” week, really made me see a whole new side of what a “family” really is. There were family present that didnt speak English. And there were friends present that didn’t understand any Spanish. None of that mattered. It was so cool to see everyone celebrate, truly celebrate, Courtney and Albert together. It all started with an upbeat Welcome from some salsa dancers, followed by a rehearsal dinner party ON A BOAT complete with a slide, snorkeling and INSANE gymnasts jumping from the roof of the boat. And we would bet money that no one dances with as much soul and happiness as Albert and Courtney. Such a fun “Carnival” party.

Unfortunately, since the wedding was so far from home, Courtney’s grandparents we unable to attend, BUT they were able to Skype with her and see her in her gorgeous wedding gown as if they were actually there. Courtney and Albert both made their own special vows to each other. We adored the cute little comment that Courtney made at the alter when she wanted to kiss Albert after he gave her his emotional vows, sadly the officiant said “No”. It’s so clear that they have a strong and loving marriage ahead of them and we wish them and Albert’s beautiful daughters the very best!

Such a pleasure working with one of our favorite destination photographers Jeremie Barlow again and to have our friend Adam Gilbert (a local filmmaker) help shoot this wedding. The photos and footage turned out great! See for yourself:)

Enjoy you two love birds!
