Chelsea and Seth's Wedding | Mt. Woodson Castle from Ross Sales on Vimeo.

What a fun day! Nestled in the outskirts of San Diego lies the elegantly charming Mount Woodson Castle. In this intimate setting surrounded by lush greenery and cobblestone walls, Chelsea and Seth tied the knot and had the party of a lifetime. The sun shown bright on this madly-in-love couple, and the two of them were positively glowing throughout their celebration. There’s something special about the way these two are able to light up a room and make everyone around them smile. Pair this lovely couple with their warm, fun-loving guests, and you have yourself a recipe for an amazing wedding!

I visited Mt. Woodson with Chelsea, Bernadette (awesome photographer), and Chelsea’s Mom (sweetest lady ever) a few months before the wedding. I was struck by the beauty of the location and wanted to use Mt. Woodson for a few wedding day creative shots. But the wedding day timeline was limited. So I attended the rehearsal the day before just so I could experiment a bit (dress, shoes, rings, trees, etc.) I love attending rehearsals. It’s a great way to scout locations and meet people in a more relaxed setting. On the wedding day, I knew that audio was going to be important. And outdoor audio is hard, so I spent more than 30 minutes working with DJ Greg Shibley to make sure my audio equipment was set up just right. And I am SO glad I made the effort because Chelsea and Seth’s vows were filled with so much personality and heartfelt emotion. Thankfully, DJ Greg is a master craftsman and was able to feed me that rich audio you hear in the video. But not the birds. The intro birdie sound effects are a little something I added for a bit of “cuteness”. Haha. The wedding day had so much excitement, activities, and happy people! It was difficult to decide what to include in the highlights video. And that’s a great thing! Because I love spending time editing footage filled with joy, love, heart, and emotion. And Chelsea and Seth’s wedding had all of that and more. I definitely had fun editing this one (but if you’re reading this, I’m sure you already knew that 🙂 ).

Thank you so much Chelsea and Seth for inviting me and Isabel to be a part of your beautiful celebration! It is a treasure to have met you both. Your kindness, care, and concern towards everyone around you make you an awesome couple to spend time with. You both are amazing, and it was wonderful getting to know you. I look forward to keeping in touch and to “one day, one day” hear about any future “little Urbs”. 🙂
